Come on Town!

Quoted from upthestripes

Are we matching them ian ?

Interesting to hear the Barnsley commentators saying they think Coulson would be more suited to playing up front rather than on the wing.

Connell was played on the wing at Bournemouth so maybe Coulson could have a similar impact this season if S&H decide to play him more centrally.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Are we matching them ian ?

Not for the first half hour Chris but we've been coming into it a lot more since their goal.

2-0

2-0 Barnsley. Vaz Te. 30 yard free kick.

Half Time.

Quoted from Les Brechin

Interesting to hear the Barnsley commentators saying they think Coulson would be more suited to playing up front rather than on the wing.

Sounds like it was 4-4-2 then with Eagle left, Coulson right.

Personally I'm well pleased with that performance - sounds like we're a shade unlucky to be 2 down and we could have had 1 for sure.

Quoted from upthestripes

2-0

Ah well,theres always next week.  

Yeah sounds ok. Commentator thinks we're running out of steam but sounded to me like we were just starting to create stuff before their second.

It was almost nailed on we'd lose really playing a team 3 levels above us.

Hard to believe that the last time the 2 teams played we stuffed them 6-1 at BP.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Ah well,theres always next week.  

Haha! It's to be expected though but they're doing ok.
Making me depressed though remembering just hw far away we are from their level now  

Quoted from Les Brechin

You too then? lol

Considering we are playing a team 4 levels higher sounds like we are doing ok

Quoted from LondonMariner43

Considering we are playing a team 4 levels higher sounds like we are doing ok

They're Championship not Premiership.

What I like is that

- we're counterattacking not just sitting back.
- causing them problems from set pieces
- "Organisation and fitness lot better."
- "when we've got the ball down we've played some nice stuff"
- commentary said we were trying to use our pace up front too.

to all you deluded ones, sounds like we are doing well! what planet are you on? we are losing again. get used to it because its just a taster for the misery to come under this management team and this useless chairman.

McKeown on for Arthur

Artus on for Thanoj

Subs:
McKeown for Arthur
Artus for Thanoj

Is the new striker we're talking to also talking to York realityman

Church on for Disley aswell according to telegraph live text.

realityman has less credibility than Career Underdogs - that's saying something !

Get in!

flipping come on !!!!  

2-1 Duffy.

Artus 30 yard free kick rebounded to Duffy who scored.

Good artus freekick followed by a duffy tap in.

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

Good artus freekick followed by a duffy tap in.

It was a Church thunderbolt according to ThisisGrimsby.

GET said Church took the free kick.

Would love Hearn to score regardless of the final result

Penalty to Barnsley. Scored 3-1

peno to barnsley and they score.

Quoted from wodewick

It was a Church thunderbolt according to ThisisGrimsby.

Commentry says Artus.

The Barnsley commentators are obviously getting our players mixed up.

Someone is getting players names badly wrong cos GET say Silk conceded pen and Barnsley say it was I'Anson.

Guess you're right there.

Makofo on for Eagle

Sorry that's complete b0llocks.

Well the Barnsley duo called our keeper McMannan, so...

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

Commentry says Artus.

Rob Bartlett now confirmed he made a mistake.

4-1

Looking decent going forward according to the Barnsley commentators.

Now 4-1 Barnsley

Connor Marshall on for Ridley

Mulready on for Hearn

Att. 2038, 170 Town fans.

Thats great 80s, when was the last time we played like that ay ?

Exactly but some people will only see the score(even though we've scored and are defensively stretched) and use it as an excuse to slag us off.

how long is left can someone tell me please?

5 mins or so ?

Quoted from 1600

People need to realise that Barnsley are still playing at Championship level and have put out a strong team today including a forward (Vaz Te) who played Premiership football for Bolton last season. Having listened to the commentary it sounds like we have done quite well considering and even their commentators have been quite complimentary at times. We won't be playing teams of Barnsley's quality each week.

We were playing nice stuff at Sheffield as well, espicially in the final 3rd of the pitch. Barnsley are 3 leagues above us and should be beating us comfortably, espicially at home. IMO we should be judging our performances against teams such as Gainsborough then today as a measuring stick to the upcoming season.

I'm dissapointed that the Doncaster game is the day before Gainsborough as I have a feeling we will play a stronger team against Donny (with it being a home game). Personally I think the team would benefit with an extended run out aganst a team only 1 league below us rather then against a team 3 league above us and who are going to be much better then teams we will face just weeks later

This game was only arranged at the last minute though. Most teams would already have a pre-season schedule already organised but with both us and Barnsley losing the opposition we were due to play we were probably the only 2 teams in England who didn't have a game already organised.

5-1. Last minute of stoppage time.

Very true Les.
Plus two of their goals were long range where the keeper had no chance.
In any case I'd much rather take 5-1 + a good performance with promising signs than 2-0 and nothing to feel good about.

Comment from Garth on GET site:
"You only know your strengths/weakness when you play teams at your own level"

Disagree - think you've a much better idea of your weaknesses when they're exposed (by teams at a higher level).

total and utter rubbish to say you would much rather take a 5-1 defeat! what a bunch of gormless fools you lot are. blind faith as usual and complete ignorance to the fact that gtfc,s squad is poor. wake up before it,s too late yet again. i would not be wanting to lose 5-1 to anyone. you have to have more ambition than you lot and stop being satisfied with this dross. the defence is dreadful. two crocks, one kid, and an untried conference north player plus garner who was sent out on lone last year does not and i repeat not make for a good defence.

Would`nt want to put my grandaughter in the ring with Ali tho, just to confirm what I already know

Look I think we did OK but its all about confidence, had we have won, drawn or lost by the odd two goals it would have been a useful exercise, as it is they are reported to be despondent

You are a nobber

To say we lost 5-1 it was a very good game, the Peno was never actually a peno from Wer I was sitting.
We made some very good chances but failed to take them all. On the drive back now

It's never a good feeling to lose 5-1 to any team but we've got to remember the standard of team we were playing and the fact that the result really isn't important.

It seems like there were some positive signs and that is the main thing. Hopefully the players aren't too disheartened by this as it doesn't sound like we deserved to lose by such a high margin.

Quoted from mariner marc

agree 80s  still surprised that we lost 5-1 didn't expect that

Well I'm not suprised given the gulf but still think it doesn't reflect the scoreline - 2 long range goals, a dodgy penalty and some missed chances from us.
And tbh I didn't expect us to score at all.

your acceptence of such dreadful results is your weakness and the weakness of all at grimsby. you just accept failure so easily!

I didn't think I'd be bothered but I must admit I am a bit.
We did well though by the sound of it. They just had too much class up front.

They are 3 divisions above us, the gap of quality is very big, anyone expecting a win or close result is just being daft.

A cup game is different as there is plenty to gain/lose.

If they have gained half a yard of fitness then it will have been worth while. Also I am sure the gaffers will have been looking at how we coped /didn't cope with various situations.

Pre season eh, we have just turned over Wigan of the Premier league 2-1. Ok it was their yuffs and no one ive heard of was playing for them .

I noticed pearson didnt play today so how did church do?

Pearson is ok just not being risked.
Church only came on in the last 10/15 mins so didnt' really have a chance to do much.

Congrats on your win - any win is good for the confidence!

WHERE'S PEARSON?! WHERE'S MCKEOWN?!

Wanker.

You nearly got your repeat 6-1 scoreline after all  

Quoted from realityman

You talk such b0llocks.
I was the actually the one who took the abuse by expressing doubt over Woods last season after 4 points from 6 !!!
The difference between you and me is, I'm objective and look at performances, not results.
Whilst you're just a sad case who looks for any excuse to moan and put the club down.

Realityman, how are pearson & church doing? Shame they didnt sign for us because we are such a small team with a bunch of no hopers playing for us. Your a total muppet

After reading the report on the OS it sounds like I'anson didn't do too well
