For those at the game and those who couldn't bare to listen any further due to nervous dispositions here is what Ady said to me after the game including an appeal to supporters to get on the bus to Aldershot and get behind the side

Guiseley host the Daggers on Thursday then host Woking on Sat....Woking not played tonight, So Guiseley will be knackered on Sat after 3 games in 5 days Whereas Woking will be fresh as Daisy’s 😞 But you just never know As Wokings form is rock bottom & Guiseley Have 600 Players to rotate & will hopefully play without fear or nerves but with plenty of pride.

MASSIVE 3 points tonight but that was torture & pleasant tuning in tonight, 💙

WOW! What a night! Home after after an epic journey across the '65! Every one put in a shift and showed incredible resolve especially in the last few minutes where i thought the team controlled the game pretty well. Makoma had a pretty good game before the red card, which I didn't really see. Was it raised hands to the head? If not is it a red card? Have to see it again. Stand out save in the second half from the keeper and a couple of vital blocks. It is a huge win, but it's a topsy-turvy scenario in that we could easily find ourselves back in the bottom 4 again at the weekend. But do we really think that Woking, regardless of the fact they play a Guiseley side on the end of 3 games in a week, are getting six points from their two remaining games? There last win is something like February 7th?? Let's hang in there. I cannot see us needing 51 points to survive.

A real battle from start to finish, two sides that were equal for the most part but we got that all important goal and it's goals that win matches.
Donovan Makoma my motm until his youthful exuberance and naivety got the better of him. It looked a nothing moment, push?? There were plenty of them that went unpunished, but when you have six or seven players baying for blood round officials there only ever looked like one outcome especially once the linesperson was consulted. Hall goal apart was superb at centre half, we battled to the man when all is said and done. Steve Arnold made a superb stop with his legs that made sure of the points late on though.
Fate is truly in our hands, but IF, yep a big IF Woking lose on Saturday and we get a draw at Aldershot or Bromley then it should be a real party atmosphere for the Chester game. Here's hoping so as I'm not sure my nerves can hold out if it's Chester or bust!!

Thank frig. Just a few more points needed: 4 should secure it with goal difference, 2 would be enough to make Woking need to win both their remaining games.

I'll be glad when we can put this season behind us!

1am home, up at 5 for work, but worth every mile of it.
Great character and desire throughout, one must wonder why it has taken o long for it to appear, if they had done this a month ago my BP would be in a much better condition!
Superb travelling support. I was at the opp end taking pics most of 2nd half and the noise was amazing!!
Still work to do, no time for back slapping yet, but the ball is now back in our court!!

i thought makoma was man of the match until his sending off, white should have had at least two goals to his name, i think holt is now passed his best and should not be starting games, but we defended well and hung on for three vital points, away support was very good. two hard away games now but you never know, let us hang on in there and when chester come to town like mark said we could be having a party, lets hope so

Should've been out of sight by half-time. We dominated much of the first half without showing any real quality, then had 3 or 4 glorious opportunities to take the lead. White squandered 2 of them, whilst Kingsley James should've scored with at least one of the headed efforts he had.

After taking the lead second half we got deeper and deeper and rode our luck massively at times. Its an absolutely huge 3 points though and it didn't matter how we got them. Couldn't fault any of them for effort and character last night, which we haven't always been able to say this season.

I'm not an Asa Hall fan but he was excellent at centre-half last night, my man of the match closely followed by Makoma until his sending off.

Also credit to their fans who were probably the noisiest all season (especially for a Tues). Wish them well and good to see a Northern team survive

From the Guiseley website,like to say good luck to them in the future and hope we will some day play them again, with them coming up not us going down.

Great night in west yorkshire last night, utterly fantastic.
Hats off to barrowaberdeen/chris and co. For the relentless singing, lewis walters stated on twitter that we were definitely the 12th man helping them get across the line. Scenes at the end between us and the players made the season for me. Was also nice to hear one of their stewards at the end say that we organised ourselves fantastically. Special mention to the club too for covering the costs and allowing so many to travel. 3pts on saturday isnt impossible...is it?

Looking at the replay, I don't think we should bother appealing Makoma's red. Shame really because lately he has been showing a hell of a lot more.
