was good to see Liam get a few minutes as well.

What a day on the Clayton End! Said to my part time supporter mate at half time, who was moaning about a poor first half, that I didn't mind how we played as long as we won. Good old Jimmy, must have put another million on his transfer value today. Alex Cisak, though, was absolutely immense. How he caught all those high balls through a melee of six foot plus gorillas was awesome. I can't speak just now with a raw throat, but I've just opened the first of a few Speckled Hens in celebration. Touring the north of Scotland next week so will miss the Burton game, but I'll be back just in time for the first play off game the night before. Could be covering the whole length of the Uk in two days if it's Torquay!!
A magnificent achievement considering the year the club has had! Well done to all.
We did look very nervous fir most of the first half, bit seemed to kick on in the second. A deserved victory in the end. The Clayton end looked and sounded superb.
Still have work to do, but I still believe

conditions wi that wind didn't make things any easier, plus was always gonna be a tough un, Barnet needed a win fer obvious reasons, fair play to em heads never dropped, wish em well next sat, small club summat like ours, prefer Lincoln to drop they were real crap.
I too have just got back from a very happy football club, both management, players and fans. So we cannot finish higher than 5th but cannot finish lower than 5th, which means I believe our play off first leg is on the Sunday followed by a Friday evening home match before were off to Old Trafford.
Who cares about the game today, Yes Jimmy and Alex had excellent games, but for me the praise should be the whole team for holding their nerve and beating a team of all in wrestlers. Poor referee today, let some fouls go and blew for non existent fouls, could not work him out. But as I say, who cares, we are there - relaxing game against Burton followed by the frenetic semi-final and final to get to League One. Like the way the Ultras were all singing 'we're all off to Deepdale' and don't I hope so. BELIEVE and it will happen

Not a great game. Wind played its part and Barnet were scrapping for their lives plus several of our players didn't turn up today. Thankfully the effervescent Ryan did. Great game Jimmy and well deserved MOM from new shirt sponsors. Proccy put in great effort today and Jacobsen and Cisak also had good game. Into the playoffs, Yahoo. How much is walk on price ?
yep as the Burton game don't matter the same, as we will finish 5th whatever the result, would be nice to see a few fringe players like Liam,Turner,Parkinson.Putterill,etc get a start n give some of the lads who got us here a rest before the play-offs.

Got to agree with that. I thought today's MOM was a 3 way tie between Jacobsen, Cisak and Ryan.
cashman said:its gonna brass me right off going to old trafford, but suppose i'll manage it.
If I can't get the time off work I'll lend you my MUFC membership card if you want.
Thought Joe Jacobsen was superb today, also Long when he came on. its gonna brass me right off going to old trafford, but suppose i'll manage it.
I think Joe Jacobsen has been consistently good all season.
Cracking result terrible game - due to the wind.
Jimmy's first was a brilliant goal
Bought the new shirt before the game - first time I've bought one in the last 3-4 years and if we keep grinding results like that it's not coming off
Edit:
Forgot to mention Cisak who was immense today as well as Joe Jacobson who is pure quality. Promotion or not those two need to be signed on to wear the red next season.

...........and Bramall Lane and Hillsborough and The Valley.
Well done to Stanley's players and management producing such a brilliant performances and high levels of consistency over the last two seasons despite all they have had to endure and to the loyal fans.
Andy proved today what a great leader he has become !... and the smile on his face as he led the Red Men out for their lap-of-honour was a joy to behold !...
To John and Jimmy a laurel wreath of admiration for their skills and fortitude shown in the face of the sort of difficulties and pressures which would have overwhelmed and destroyed lesser Men !!...
so to the playoffs...and then League One !.
Well a superb day to be a red.
Not the best game, but who cares. The wind played a major role.
Yet again Ryan was magnificent, his hatrick capped a brilliant season. Also special mentions for Cisak and Jacobsen.
Get them signed up for 2 years NOW!!
Good to see Coley bringing Long on again, as I thought Hessey was having a difficult time with Mcleod and Marshall.
Roll on Burton next Saturday, will be like a party atmosphere.
Hopefully Coley will start with a similar side, as its always good to have momentum going into the playoffs. But any knocks need watching obviously, might be a good idea to rest Ryan and Jacobsen just in case??? As we can easily put Razor and Leam in there for 90 mins
Whos ready for another holiday on the English Riviera ???

???Although the wind spoiled the game,it went as most people thought,with Barnet chasing and fighting for every ball.
Fair play to them,they played three up front and stopped acci playing out from the back,indeed,when Acci had corners,they still left two up front.
Think Hessey got a knock to the head,but Long slotted in perfectly,which says a lot about the squad.
Although Jimmy gets the plaudits it was the keeper who caught my eye again.He didnt really have to make a save,but hes so commanding,anything in the air within twelve yards of the goal is his ball.
Thought Phil marshalled the back line well,especially in the second half,when it would have been deadly to drop deep and get penned in .
Wasnt a game for our ball players,and we lost too many second balls,but today was about points not performance,and the three we got were priceless.
