Jamie Forrester smashes in from 35 yards.
Coulo with the winning goal.
Wasn’t a vintage display by any means and for much of the first half they were actually the better team, but we ground it out against a team we’d never beaten before and grabbed the win. We took off Watson and Killock in the first half for injuries so I don’t know if they were precautionary or more serious. Brooksby later replaced McNaughton, and so when both Brooksby and Valentine went down injured it looked like we’d have to finish with at most 10 men but they both battled on bravely. No complaints from me about the penalty, it was nailed on
dont imagine farsley scouts will be worried having watched that, we look poor, midfield 2nd to everything, no cohesion, reliant on coulo magic, why cant we try and play it on the deck. painful
For those who have not been to guisborough it is a beautiful small market town (village)approx 10 miles from middlesborough. Strong team tonight but we struggle against a team who probably do not even get a penny for turning out to play.
what crowds we used to get at the McStad for these matches. I remember going to a couple but seem to remember they weren’t treated as seriously as now and crowds were very low.
In the 2003/04 season, we played the previous season’s final during the July pre-season against Middlesbrough (youth) at the McCain Stadium. 552 turned up.
The next season, the same thing happened, against the same opposition, in front of a slightly higher 800.
On 10th January 2005, just 9 days after our wonderful 0-2 victory at Bootham Crescent, I was one of 293 who saw us beat Dormans Athletic at the McCain in the quarter final. So - there’s your best comparison. About 150-200 better off last night than in the olden days, but we didn’t treat it as a first team fixture back then, just like York/Middlesbrough don’t now, so it’s not a totally fair comparison.
