Great (and unexpected) result. Once they equalised I feared the worst, but we were in control for all of the second half and deserved the result

Ox did well, but Robinson for me made a huge difference with his pace, aggression and positive runs.

It's been one hell of a ride since PB came onboard. I think we need 7pts from the last three. It's never boring is it!

I don't think 53 pts will be enough, I honestly think we need to win all three. If you offered me having to win at Barnet to stay up I'd bite your hand off.

53 is likely to be enough because York still have to play both Eastleigh and Woking. Our goal difference is also likely to end up better than whoever finishes lower out of York and Eastleigh if we reach 53 points.

I'll take your word for it but feel we have to beat Halifax and Eastleigh to keep our destiny in our own hands.

Zak Brown may be a bit lightweight but that is now 2 goals in two games and Monday's goal was a fine example of his willingness to run beyond our front two - something we have lacked from our midfield all season.

If we stay up, our saviours may come from unlikely sources.

Apologies for sounding like a broken record, but Zak Brown is quality and has bags of potential. We need to keep him on a long contract and build the team around him, whatever league we end up in.

[tonythescout]

He's improving and worth a new deal. He will continue to get better. He's played more games I think purely by default due to injuries. I'd imagine he was due to play second fiddle to TOE last season, and Lambert.
It just narks me how week he is in a tackle, but he will get there as it is not rocket science. He's been one of our better players since PB came in and his performance v Aldershot was the best performance a central midfielder has put in this season for us.

[garthrockett]

hmmm....Will Zak Brown turn out to be another Brian Smikle?
Discuss.

[HarrierN2]

I spoke too soon about it all being over! Superb result.

But now the hope is killing me again!

A win on Saturday and I can see it doing this...

Zak de Bruyne as Soupy would describe him. Fully agree.
