Those play-off games are a classic case of Jimmy's 'the best team wins and the rest is gossip'

The Boreham Wood game was an all-time classic. We were chasing all game really, therefore on top. They could've killed us on counters.
At those times, in any team sport, you need your best players to step up. It's no coincidence Baldwin and Jones had to be the ones. They're the players who could well be playing at a higher level than us next year.

The Chesterfield game was like one of those nightmares, where time's running out but you're helpless to do anything. In games like that, the game comes down to force of will. I thought we edged it, but the ball was going in their net twice one way or the other, and winning a penalty shoot out is a skill (mostly mental) in itself. Posts saying we didn't deserve it are wrong, and just gossip as per Jimmy.
