Disley and Yussuf both start.

Hartlepool UTD: Bartlett, Richards, Harrison, Bates, Donnelly, Kavanagh, Featherstone, Woods, Hawkins, Paynter, Amond.
Subs: Dudzinski, Carroll, Walker, Laurent, Deverdics, Oates, Alessandra.

Grimsby Town: Henderson, Davies, Andrew, Pearson, Disley, Bogle, Mills, Boyce, Collins, Comley, Yussuf.
Subs: McKeown, Vose, Jackson, Venney, Bolarinwa, Vernon, Jones.

Look at that bench, so attacking. It's good to see options on there.

Notice that Venney is on the bench again.

Marcus must rate him and it might only a matter of time before he gets a game.

Quoted from mimma

Indeed, Mimma, nice to see. Hopefully Clifton will get his chance too.

JT saying that the money's on Comley going back.

Jones on the bench and no Gowling? Injured or on his way out?


Edit

Or maybe what Moosey says in the post below.. Jones can cover two positions.

Quoted from Mariner93er

Look at that bench, so attacking. It's good to see options on there.

Jones the only defender, i suppose he can cover left (?) and centre.  Hopefully a fairly open game and we can keep Podge quiet, he has a partner today though so will have to be on the ball and not give him the freedom of the park like we did at "the" BP.

Quoted from mimma

Notice that Venney is on the bench again.

Marcus must rate him and it might only a matter of time before he gets a game.

Berrett, Summerfield & McAllister injured though.

Quoted from Mariner_09

JT saying that the money's on Comley going back.

I did think that was written all over MB's face in his interview this week when he was asked the question..

If Comley is to go back, then McAllister's return to action is perfect timing. Hope he comes through the ressie game ok.

Quoted from mimma

Notice that Venney is on the bench again.

Marcus must rate him and it might only a matter of time before he gets a game.

He can come on when we are 4- 0 up at about quarter past 4 this afternoon.

Details of an outgoing loan shortly on Humberside.

Gowling? Suprised he isn't on the bench.

Quoted from ginnywings

It'll be strange seeing Mckeown in goal for the reserves.

Maybe

Gowling - Shrewsbury
Venney - non league
Browne - back down south

Quoted from promotion plaice

It'll be strange seeing Mckeown in goal for the reserves.

Yeah, never thought of that. Is it at BP?

Quoted from ginnywings

Yeah, never thought of that. Is it at BP?

Not sure...... :-/

It is yes ginny

I would rather see Gowling in the team than Boyce altho tbf Boyce didn't let anyone down when he returned to the team. Listening to teeside Bbc radio he was identified as a weak link in our defence as they had seen him play before, hopefully he proves them wrong

So much for an exclusive we all knew from Thursdays interview we were looking to find a loan placement down south for Rhys

Quoted from Hagrid

It is yes ginny

Cheers Hagrid. I'll go and have a shufty at that.

Quoted from Madeleymariner

So much for an exclusive we all knew from Thursdays interview we were looking to find a loan placement down south for Rhys

Yeah, that was an anti-climax.

I have just checked the EFL website and see the below....does this mean the fixture is to be played at Rotherham?

GTFC getting lots of praise on Hartlepool Player, big club and incredible away support    :)

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis

Details of an outgoing loan shortly on Humberside.

Who's going out?

They basically said That Browne is looking to go out on loan, so no new news.

Imps take the lead at Ipswich

Scunts winning already...... :(

Newport losing...conteh losing

MP not working for me

Finger on the pulse then, thanks mate.

Sounds like the other Grimsby have turned up so far unfortuneately

Quoted from ginnywings

Imps take the lead at Ipswich

FFS that's all we need.

Its ok Herts Ipswich have levelled.

I can see county going down.  Club is rotten.

Morecambe will be fuming. 3-0 up but thick fog and a chance of it being postponed

Game coming to life, good pressure from Town.

get innnn........Town   1 up

Adi yes yes yes 0-1

yes! :D

Town 1 up - Adi.  

Yessssss Yusseff

YESSS!!!!

Good god. He's done it again
:P
Get in!!

very happy in Beijing :-)

WOOP !! YUSSUF !!! 1-0

He's turning out to be a nice piece of business so far 2 appearances and 2 goals

YESS YUSSEF UTM!!

Yesss Yussuf

As John Moore would say/:  "And that's a goal."

Just listen to the Town fans. UTM

When does Comley go back?

Town well on top now.

Get in Adi, sounds like we're taking control, let's go for the kill

Apparently this is one of the covered games on soccer Saturday with Jeff Stelling

Get in

almost two - dis header off the line

Have you had enough.....

Of Adi Yussuf.....

Omar who  ;)

Quoted from Meza

I can see county going down.  Club is rotten.

We should beat them in a couple of weeks at BP on current form.

I'd like to thank Philip Taylor for inspiring Adi to two goals in two games.

YOU WANT YUSSUF?

YOU CAN'T HANDLE YUSSUF!

Get in Adi,great partnership with Omar seems to already be struck 👍

Soccer Saturday match reporter..

"Big and boisterous Grimsby away support"

Really pleased for Adi. Hope he can keep it up

Who's that running at u at pace
Its Adi Yussuf...Adi Yussuf

To the tune of whos that coming over the hill

Lol

HT   Hartlepool 0-1 Town

That'll do nicely.

Half time 1.0 Town

Sounds like we are living dangerously

Can't go today due to illness (gutted) but it sounds on MP like there will be more goals in the 2nd half..................Come on boys keep it up!!

At least we are not a one man scoring team now :)

Quoted from TheGoalKipper

Sounds like we are living dangerously

Yes we seem to be letting them keep the ball in our half, surely if we put pressure on them high up the pitch they will capitulate

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Yes we seem to be letting them keep the ball in our half, surely if we put pressure on them high up the pitch they will capitulate

Keeping the ball in their half rtequires people who can pass and move and control the ball which we dont have ATM. This is what MB is trying to sign i hope with Osbourne

Quoted from LH

I'd like to thank Philip Taylor for inspiring Adi to two goals in two games.

Don't think that sharp object should be mentioned or given any credit for Adis goals he's scoring because he can see what great passionate fans we have whose only demand is players give everything they have

975 Town fans.  brilliant!!!

Town utterly dominant first half, bar one chance for Amond witha cracking save from Deano. We didn't hav many clear cut chances tho but yusuf was clinical with his opportunity.
Ball is moved quickly from the keeper to midfield nowadays, really noticeable how good our keeper is at distributing the ball.

How many goals did Tuton score? How many is Vernon on??

Vernon is a different type of striker though and not one for his pace but to hold up the ball.

Toto sent off at Swindon

Toto just been sent off and given pen away,thats a surprise.

Toto Nsiala sent off on debut.. Excellent.

Nsaila sent off hahahahahhahaha

Lmfao at Toto's red card and Penalty.. Oh dear.

Toto sent off again Ha ha

Haha Toto sent off

As it stands we're up to 10th in the table and could go 9th if Barnet lose at Orient.

UTM

Ahaha toto been sent off in his first game for Shrewsbury

Toto sent off on his debut, unbelievable ;D

Toto has another brain fade and gets himself sent off on debut.  Classic Toto.

Quoted from friskneymariner

Toto just been sent off and given pen away,thats a surprise.

At least he's consistent.

Toto sent off first match for Shrews

we are under it here....need to get our ideas together..

sounds like Omar has his all about me head on

The resulting penno goes in and Shrews lose us shape.

Balls to Toto, town need to get on their game.

Toto sent off for Shrews ;D

Hurst out........ 8)

Town need to push up and stop letting them attack while they sit back.

Quoted from ginnywings

Balls to Toto, town need to get on their game.

Exactly what I was thinking, sod Toto!

Toto sent off!!

Has Toto been sent off by any chance?

JT and Lowther making it sound (worryingly) like we're happy to let them attack us!

Want a second.

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Toto sent off for Shrews ;D

Kept us discipline.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Hurst out........ 8)

i can imagine his pre match and announcement of Toto signing...

know him really well,he is what us needs, one of the most solid performers in GTFC promotion side, strong quick........

post match..
.........Hartlepool have destroyed him...

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

Has Toto been sent off by any chance?

13 posters seem to think so !!

UTM

If they dont get hold of the ball and keep posession for some periods theyre gonna buckle with the pressure!

6600 (210 away) at the fourth division game between Hull and Swansea today. Oh....

Come on Collins get them up he pitch. Too much pressure here, it sounds like we're defending well but on the last few seasons sitting back has gone against us he majority of the time.

Not that I want us to take this approach, but if Bigneau wants to soak it up and play on the break, we might see Jackson at some point for some outlet pace.

Quoted from TheGoalKipper

If they dont get hold of the ball and keep posession for some periods theyre gonna buckle with the pressure!

Are you referring to Town or Shrewsbury ?

Quoted from LH

6600 (210 away) at the fourth division game between Hull and Swansea today. Oh....

2 semi reserve sides with only one thing on both clubs minds...Premier League survival ...sadly.

Got this feeling that the hard tackling Veney will come on for Mills

Lincoln winning again  :-/

Ipswich made 7 changes with teenagers.

Henderson showing he can ease the pressure on the back four with commanding beyond the 6 yd line, that is the biggest flaw in Mckeown's game.

Miller again for Dover.

Sound like we are hanging on a bit here, the way its coming over on MP we cant seem to get the ball?

Vose on for Adi

Rhys Oates, his swivel and thunderbolt to the bottom corner for town was decent but didn't do much after that.. Do Hartlepool buy our ex players too! Watch him score now.

I had no idea Devedicks signed for Hartlepool, he's a great player, surprised to see him on the bench?

Wasnt a cleverdick was Deverdicks  ??)

Quoted from Meza

Ipswich made 7 changes with teenagers.

Serves em right- over confident clever sods

Davies sounds like he's had a good game today.

Ipswich equalise again.

Lincoln drawing 2-2

Come on Town, just a couple of minutes to go.

UTM

Come on Town!!

We could do with Henderson on loan for the rest of the season now.

Yes. Great result. Utm

I have a feeling that Hartlepool will say something like "yeah, but we beat you 3-0" and we will say absolutely nothing........

Great result! Well done Town, sounded like an hard earned three points.

1 - 0 get in well done boys.........................The run continues!!!

Safe home to all that made the trip :) :) :) :)

Great result, in Marcus we trust.

Can any Town fans at the game spot BLUETHRANDTHU, he's the one sulking the most.........  ;D

Doubt we'll hear from him tonight.

Great result town.. well hung on 😅
UTM

3 more points and broke the Hartlepool hoodoo. Yes!

That'll do for me

Still unbeaten in 2017

UTM GTID

Brilliant away win love the 1-0 wins

Get i. There

Played it a bit dangerously in the second half that last minute free kick was a nervous moment but they held on for a win. Henderson only conceded 1 goal in what 4 games now?

Get inn isnt the 1 goal conceeded in open play in like 6-7 games.

FT
Town win but sounds like we were poor. Couldnt hold onto the ball

Good 3 points though

Revenge !!   Sounded woeful on the ball second half but Hartlepool were sh1t at BP and won 3-0 so even sweeter.

UTM another 3pts and even closer to the playoffs

Up the football league we go!

Quoted from BeijingMariner

I have a feeling that Hartlepool will say something like "yeah, but we beat you 3-0" and we will say absolutely nothing........

Lucky its not 3pts per goal then isnt it 😂

Hartlepool 0 - Grimsby 1 (icon_lol)

Yes great result another step closer to league security. Well played lads ell played Adi and another commanding performance from Denno. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

That'll do for me

unbeaten in 2017

UTM GTID

So WERE they... ;D

Nice win increases the gap from the bottom 3

Brilliant result -14 pts from the 50pts safety milestone but a play off chase well and truly on now.

Boom, boom, boom, let me hear you say DEANO!

Quoted from Kris2

Played it a bit dangerously in the second half that last minute free kick was a nervous moment but they held on for a win. Henderson only conceded 1 goal in what 4 games now?

And we're unbeaten, won 3, drawn 1

UTM

An away win of great character and resolve.  Coupled with the breaking news of Toto's sending off.  (Cannnot believe that no one picked up on this and posted the news above).   >:(

Quoted from promotion plaice

We could do with Henderson on loan for the rest of the season now.

Wish we could sign him. He's much better getting the ball out to our players

When you can defend as well as we are at the minute, you don't need to play brilliantly. Sneaking up the table now UTM

Well done Town - 3 games in a week including long journeys to Carlisle and Hartlepool - could have been one step too far today - but it wasn't - brilliant result :)

I think the last four games have seen us well established in this league now, looking up and not down. 10 points from 12 is more than i hoped for and the bottom sides just keep on losing. Play offs are not beyond us now.

Quoted from ginnywings

Just how I feel. Established. Hoping those words 'x points from safety' will become irrelevant in the next few weeks, maybe if the next intended signings come off we might even begin to dare to dream once more.

For all Marcus's talk about attacking he must have done something with the defence as well, only 1 goal conceded in open play since Nov 28th at Crawley. That is what we can build success on.

Just need to add a bit more firepower now as games like today can slip away from you if you don't get that second. Need a bit more from midfield.

If he gets his targets, then we could be in for a very exciting second half of the season. Imagine if he can pair this defensive stability with attacking flair.

What's that coming over the hill, Adi Yussuf, Adi Yussuf ,  ;)

Same amount of syllables including "it's". Could have legs that song.

Said it before and will say it again - signing Henderson till EOS and keeping Bogle through this window will be the most important pieces of business in Jan!

Whose Boyle?  ;D

Agree all the same. Henderson gives the defence confidence. We were saying before he came in that you could see the defence were hesitant with Macca in the team and had lost confidence in him but all keepers have a wobble at some stage, even those at the top. Been surprised at how good Hendo is though, given his age and lack of experience. He is one confident lad.

I think Dean has a great chance of playing for England - last week at Carlisle, I watched him at close quarters second half, and he was consistently, when required, coming out and catching the ball through a ruck of players around the penalty spot. He is seriously good i.m.o.

Hopefully Man U will let him develop with Town for the rest of this season - now he is (deservedly) in.

For some reason my phone changed it haha!! Yea keeping Bogle...

As good as he seems,  because of his age he will probably have a period of loss of form/confidence sometime and if he his still with us lets hope Macca can be his good self when called on.
We are lucky to have two good keepers playing for us at the moment
