A few changes! Not really sure on formation! Macca, davies andrew gowling collins mills berrett comley vose bogle and tuton. Bench: pearson,dis,summerfield, jackson vernon venny and bolarinwa

Possibly 5-3-2 with wing backs? Mills gowling and collins the CB's.

It would be everso lovely if someone could let me have their Marinersplayer logon as I'm in the depths of Poland and can't listen otherwise.

Very interesting on the line up, would of liked to kept Pearson in the team though, maybe today we might see Zak Mills's gaint throws

Why drop Pearson and even worse why bring in Gowling who has been one of our worst players this season. (Lost his man for the goal again on Tuesday)

I agree about pearson and cant help but wonder why dis keeps getting overlooked

What position is Mills playing?

Quoted from hheh2

What position is Mills playing?

I believe mills rb, davies rw

Tinkerman, lets hope he has plan B if required(icon_frown)

Quoted from hheh2

What position is Mills playing?

Are you my neighbour? If so stop putting the bins out!

Glad to see Summerfield being taken out. Berrett deserves a go IMO in a more central role.

"Zak Mills, Josh Gowling, Danny Collins and Danny Andrew are named as the back four with Ben Davies operating at right wing.

James Berrett and Brandon Comley anchor the midfield, with Dominic Vose on the left-wing.

Omar Bogle and Shaun Tuton are paired up front."

Courtesy of Telewag

Be interesting to hear from those there but surely he is playing a midfield 3 with Vose behind the front 2?

UTFM

It wouldn't make sense to play Davies as a winger so that sounds like a good plan. Midfield 3 with Vose in the 'hole' - hopefully running the game!

Exeter starting the better, we need to be careful.

Commentry gone of ?

Commentary just disappeared on DAB 🤔

and internet on mp too

Going all funny now.

Quieter than Tuesday.... 8)

When we get back it might be 3-0 Town. This singer seems more interesting than the match

Can you decipher the dalek-speak?  I've just got music on DAB.   :o  Is anything interesting happening?  .... Music stopped and now it's Scunthorpe.....   :( :(

not even on Exeter player....they are saying a major technical BBC wide fault

Please don't tell me they have binned us for the Scunts.

Not just our game

RH commentary from Glumford Park over the phone

Tinpot 😉

Still 0-0

Following the 'action' on the B365 app 😗

Comley booked for a cynical challenge

Tuton loops one over...described as a big chance for the visitos

That Glumford Park commentary sounds like it's coming from a toilet.


Oh, hang on 😉😄

I can still get commentary but I am on my yacht in my tax haven. Hang on Rooneys shouting across.  Still 0-0

Davies clears one off the line..

Sounds like George having a pee

In other news.....i was suprised to hear George Kerr be so anti GTFC earlier on this afternoon, when asked about his 1980 championship side he said he wouldnt talk about things at the club that went on and said he would much rather be where he was...ie Scunny.

Why do we have to listen to Scunthorpe? I pay to listen to town, not fcking Scunthorpe!!

Roll on the day MP commentary works properly.

Sounds like we have not missed anything of note for us......all them.

dominated by a team at the bottom who have lost all 5 at home so far.........sounds like we should count our lucky  chickens we arent losing.

We need to step it up or change the system it clearly isnt working.

We need to use planA second half

Id put bolowinwa on.

i feel for tom Bolawinra

First hes ridiculed for not being fit then is replaced by a right back.  Gowling can find himself very fortunate to be ahead of pearson....i just hope it all pays off....for me Summerfield is one of our best midfielders.

Jones has scored lol

HT 0-0

Something missing and some work to do 2nd half from the sounds of things....even though there's not been that much sound 🤔

Think were missing summerfield in the middle, we need to change something we dont look like scoring at all.

Quoted from Meza

Jones has scored lol

Wrong one, I thought the same lol. It's Sam Jones.  :)

Just creating nothing really, no pace on the wings and one attempt at goal

How many minutes without a goal from open play now?
Getting very worrying.  :-/

I'm surprised mixing up the team hasn't worked, it worked so well in the past...

Can anyone remember when Hurst has one of these tinker moments it actually working ?
There always seems to be half a dozen games a season where you take one look at the team sheet and just know we're going to lose

If he hadn't made the changes though would we have been on top today?

Davies for Chambers is the only one I might question in so far as Summerfield has made a few errors lately so his place might have been at risk in any case

Gowling for Pearson isn't going wrong so far as we've not conceded and Mills debut's not been bad

Just need some forward impetus which as the game goes on might come with the introduction of Tom Bolarinwa?

Anyway second half under way so....

Come on Town

Screw George. It's not the first time he's done it. When we played them in the cup (and beat them) a couple of season's ago he nailed his colours to the mast that day, and I lost a lot of respect for him. He's a Scunny man evidently.

Dave Booth was a better manager anyway. Under rated and too often overlooked was Booth when discussing Towns history.

Come out 2nd half and just as bad make some changes before 72 mins please Hurst

Summerfield on for Comley?

Hardly inspirational but you never know....
leave it to Hurst and the lads to prove me wrong

Wish I kept quiet now Summerfield for Comley, Yorks relegation centre midfield together

Really seems like one of those games that never gets going, no confidence and movement from our side and their side can't seem to hit the target.

Nothing's changed since the "change" it seems :-/

Exeter still on top and getting closer and closer

Tuton now subbed and Vernon replaces him

Come on Town

Two subs before 70 mins.....can the police please go to the Grimsby bench and remove the man masquerading as Paul Hurst.

I'd love to see, just for once, an inspiring second half after a bit of a drab first. Couple of subs, bit of a reshuffle on the field and just take the game to them and hit them with our true pace. We really never seem to do this, nor often manage to change a game with tactical subs.
Sounds like a draw will do us, but a team with that sort of home record really ought to be prodded and probed and put to the test by us.

Been poor today, should lf brought soneone with pace ffs

We just can't get the ball and when we do we give it away it's getting silly.

Thats it no more subs now till 89 mins I really cant see us getting anything from this game

Can see them scoring soon weve been so so poor

Rubbish this. Making a poor team look like world beaters. Too many needless changes pre-match and far too defensively setup across the team. Just invites pressure onto us and our shakey back-line which has clearly been our achilles heel this season. Berrett and Summerfield are not good enough midfielders. We need McAllister fit asap and both of them binned off on loan or something.

All we can hope for is a 0-0 or smash and grab 0-1, whats wrong with Disley?

Bring on Amond and Toto

Quoted from Madeleymariner

I don't now how many times we have said that, it's just a shame that it falls on deaf ears.

Feel sorry for the three hundred and odd Town fans that have made the long journey to watch a poor Town performance.

I usually suffer from the commentators curse, let's hope.

Baffling how Dizza has hardly featured since we got back in the league

IMHO he would provide a spark coming on in a game like this but seems like he's just being over-looked for some reason? 🤔

Vose --wounded wilderbeast ;D

At least they will not have to watch England struggle to score against Malta.

Hope I am wrong and we score ten to make up for this game.

Another set of corners that dont even produce one chance today

Been watching this on Perescope - Vernon's been shite since coming on. Hasn't won a thing against their defence and just messed up a promising attack by passing it to the opposition. Another player we've stupidly signed on a two year contract who just isn't good enough.

Agreed, can't see how anyone can truthfully defend Vernon.

So annoying every time we get a few passes you are waiting for the final ball and you know it'll fall to the other team or something. Just stick Tombola on and have him run at them we need some sort of threat.

Poor sodomist is probably wondering where the fuk he is being actually on the pitch rather than the bench. Hasn't had a lot of game time to be fair

Quoted from hheh2

Agreed, can't see how anyone can truthfully defend Vernon.

The game i am listening to sounds like neither Bogle or Vernon have hardly had the ball passed to them.....not a game to blame the strikers as it sounds as though we havnt threaded 3 passes together all game......p1ssing around with the back four, the centre midfield and the wing (square pegs) clearly is the issue.

Same story lately lots of tippy tap passing that doesn't really go anywhere then we lose the ball.

Even 10 man Cheltenham can grab an away goal in injury time. :-/

Well done lads, managing to hold the football leagues least prolific home team to a goalless draw.....fantastic.  

FT 0-0

A point on the road is usually not too bad but don't think we were at our best today

Onwards and upwards

UTM GTID

Listening to that we were sh1t and lucky they took Reid off as it seemed to slow there impetus

Ah well, with a run like Exeter's it's a surprise we didn't lose given our history of overturning records. Disappointing but.....

And thanks to the Real JL for Periscoping it. Only jumped on it late and found the quality and view much better than I expected.

I'd take a point. We're 10th, and looking at mid table obscurity?

Also, hats off to the mariners that traveled all the way to exeter!

Poor team selection,

Hurst will say it was a hard earned draw

Now to see if England can do any better against a poor team.

Good job Exeter are no better than us. They had 17 shots 5 on target, we had 6 shots none on target. say no more.
So on to Cambridge,I hope their finishing is no better than Exeter's or we will be in deep sh!t.

8 points out of the last 12 on the road from the last 4 games. Improve on the home form and we will push for the play offs this season

Well at least we didn't lose and kept a clean sheet that's the only positives you can take out of that snoozefest. Just annoying that it's all we get for another week was hardly worth looking forward to.

That was just about the worst Town Team I have watched this season. Midfield absolutely crap--no support for the forwards . No plan whatsoever. Please tell me when I can start calling Hurst again. Picking a team like that he deserves all he gets, let's be honest for once.  They are not improving at all.

3 clean sheets in 4 league games, it seems the defence is settling down a bit but at a cost to our attacking play. Take a point we go again nexr saturday.

It seems we have no conviction going forward from midfield, that or we are carrying two players who aren't good enough for league football.

As stated went for the draw and almost got hurt for it mills and Davies won't work not good enough footballers on the ball  should have started bolowinra on the right , Jackson with bogle and if he wants to go defensive put mills in dm at least he can defend

Think we'd all have been happy with draws away from home at the start of the season, let's keep this real guys, we're doing OK.

If your team selection hands the initiative to the opposition then 9 times out of 10 they will take it.

Luckily their finishing didn't finish us.

Clean sheet is good, away point always welcome but this is their first draw, having lost eight of the previous eleven. No problems really with that other than we never put them under any pressure and we have forgotten how to score. Hartlepool gone back to their 1-1 draws again i see. We look weak in midfield and not able to dominate the pattern of play. Still 10th though, so not too bad all in all.

So we played excrement and got a draw and a clean sheet? We arent the big fish. In a league any more and some of you really need to start understanding thay, ffs we didnt lose did we

Quoted from Hagrid

So we played excrement and got a draw and a clean sheet? We arent the big fish. In a league any more and some of you really need to start understanding thay, ffs we didnt lose did we

The most sensible and honest post about this result. Forget their past results, a point and a clean sheet away from home is always a decent outcome.

Quoted from Hagrid

So we played excrement and got a draw and a clean sheet? We arent the big fish. In a league any more and some of you really need to start understanding thay, ffs we didnt lose did we

It's not the result that's worrying. It's what, 5 games without a goal in open play now?

I cant help but think a point away in league two is a good result regardless.

Quoted from Hagrid

So we played excrement and got a draw and a clean sheet? We arent the big fish. In a league any more and some of you really need to start understanding thay, ffs we didnt lose did we

people who are content/happy/not miffed with failing to score a goal against a side who have not won at home this season, have lost 8 out of 12, have the worst goal difference in our league, had pre match protests by their supporters and by all accounts went on to dominate us need to raise their expectations.

I do not expect us to win every game, i expect this season to be a bit of a learning curve but post  match Hurst again spoke of "Davies looked ok and made that side solid, he asked Ben if he would play there" ...we will go to places where we need to pick a solid team as the opposition merit but today we needed to have something to beat a team...no pace in midfield, no width, lack of service to the front and big holes in the centre of the park. Wrong team Paul end of.  

As for securing a clean sheet ....they have scored one League goal at home this fkin season and that was in August...hardly an acheivement in that context.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Think we'd all have been happy with draws away from home at the start of the season, let's keep this real guys, we're doing OK.

A look at the league table would suggest that, but it's ages since we played well, controlled a game or even looked a goal threat..

Sorry but I thought I was reading about an England performance.

Think GTFC would have beaten Malta today

Think Rooney was preoccupied with his tax bill and lingard Henderson Walcott were hopeless

Quoted from Bigdog

A look at the league table would suggest that, but it's ages since we played well, controlled a game or even looked a goal threat..

We have had some good results this season but rarely played well. I think Hurst realises that we aren.t a good team and knows he has problems. How many players could grumble if they were dropped--not many if any except Bogle. Hurst is running out of options but todays team selection was just sheer frustration. [I don't like to use the word " panic"] I know a forum is made up of supporters which we all are but how any of us can say Town have a good team is ludicrous. When was the last time we left a match and said to ourselves "I enjoyed that "

Quoted from Hagrid

So we played excrement and got a draw and a clean sheet? We arent the big fish. In a league any more and some of you really need to start understanding thay, ffs we didnt lose did we

We may not be the big fish but we are in the big fish top 7 of this league. It's not just one game played excrement, we are stuttering and some players need removing from the first team. The question is do we have players who can step up and if the answer is no, then why not.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

I cant help but think a point away in league two is a good result regardless.

Don't often disagree with you but I think this smacks of the low expectations syndrome. If the height of our ambition is to get a point at a club that hasn't yet got one at home then we will soon be in the same position they are.

We are in L2. We deserve to be in L2 as much as any other side. But that situation will change unless we start scoring goals and we will not start scoring goals with team selections like today's.

Is our aim for the season going to be mediocrity?

Quoted from Bigdog

A look at the league table would suggest that, but it's ages since we played well, controlled a game or even looked a goal threat..

??? We carried loads of goal threat in the first 20 minutes last Saturday. The problem we have is no-one looks terribly confident in front of goal, think that's now 7 since anyone other than Omar scored.

Hurst doesn't like free scoring open games. Bogle started well last year, scored about ten goals, then dried up apart from a couple of pens and Hurst brought in Tomlinson and tightened us up generally. For Tomlinson, read Tuton and it all has an air of deja vu about it. Neither of those strikers look like they could hit the net and don't look like they work with Bogle. Wouldn't be surprised if Bogle is given the hook soon.

That's how I see it.
I'm not demanding a top 3 spot though I don't think I'm being unreasonable in wanting a team with signings like Bolarinwa, Jackson etc and the divisions top scorer in Bogle to have a better goal difference after 12 games than zero.

Sums up the moronic view of some so called fans unfortunately. Why are you so desperate to slag off the man who did more than anyone else to rescue us from non league obscurity?

Yes, but we still got promoted last season.

Quoted from oldun

Yes, but we still got promoted last season.

Yeah we did, but that wasn't my point.

Pleased with a point today - steadied the ship after last week's reversal. No goals conceded - Wycombe and Notts County were late goal sickeners and that did not happen today.

I feel Danny Collins has stiffened our resolve - and don't forget - he is still trying to achieve match fitness at his tender age - (compared to me).

Looking forward to seeing us finally play in the North West in the new year.
