#GTFC XI: McKeown, Fox, Clarke (c), Collins, Mills, Dembele, Rose, Summerfield, McSheffrey, Wilks, Hooper.

Subs: Killip, Hall-Johnson, Woolford, McAllister, Berrett, Clifton, Vernon.

What a terrible team selection.

Cov ?

Cov ?

I'm on a 6 day delay, really fancy a win today  ;)

My optimism has just dropped by 50% 😥

I don't understand the constant chopping and changing. Let's face it, our squad is crap. So we've got to try and make the total greater than the sum of it's parts and to do that we've got to start building partnerships, particularly at cb and in the middle of the pitch. You could argue that Collins and Clarke have played together a lot but Clarke is complete dogshit so I just don't want him in the team. If Suliman can't dislodge an aging Clarke then why bother having him here?

If there's ever a line up you didn't want to see.......... :)

More sweeping changes. We may just about find a settled side by about the 45th game.

Not even on the bench either, is he injured? But then he wasn't on the bench at Lincoln either  :-/

Does it matter? Whatever side or formation we have chosen for the last 18 games, hasn't been good enough for a win. We clamour for players to come into the side and nothing changes.  :-/

Let's see what this bunch can do.

What is the point in having the young CB lad from Villa on loan, he may as well not be on Villa's bench

Has Suliman done a full weeks training with us? MJ said that is one of his criteria for possible selection.

Anyway, going to BP to see for myself. Let's be 'avin it.

Hooper hat trick ?

Haven’t been this nervous about a game in years, a must win game!

Quoted from ginnywings

He could be on the urine in Magaluf for a week and still be better than Clarke.

Suliman's omission the only odd one for me.

Pleased Summerfield is back in. McAllister did quite well at Coventry but clearly only has about 45 mins in him, I suspect we'll see him 2nd half.

Hooper - well, we haven't really looked like scoring in the previous 3 games so let's see if he can do it for Jolley. He probably can't but as Ginny says, he can't do much worse than the other forwards recently.

I don't mind that team. He is chopping and changing a lot, but we had a similar team play week in week out under slade for much of this run, and they still played like strangers. It's a team that looks more attackingly capable then we've seen play in a long whole so let's give it our full backing and hope we get the win.

Not at the match today, on holiday in Spain. Thought I’d be able to watch it on ifollow but it’s saying I can’t. Can anyone offer any advice on how to?

It’s up to the starting 11 to step up now get behind them ffs!!

You have to of paid for the £100 package for over seas fans the standard one for the UK doesn't cover live broadcasts just radio broadcasts.

What a terrible team selection.

Might as well play with 10 men and drop Clarke.
McCallister should be starting instead of Rose but I can understand he's probably suffering with a lack of match fitness, same for Cliftons omission, I can only assume 3 full pro games is a step too far having only recently made his debut.
Hooper won't score, he's too lazy to grab a goal unless it drops to his feet 5 yards off the goal line. All the talent in the world won't get you anywhere unless you have the drive to use it.
Can only assume Sulliman isn't fully fit after being away on international duty.

Bollox, thanks for the info. I’ll have to listen in then. Come on Town UTM!

What a difference a win would make.

Let's hope we get the breaks today.

Here we go........

Poor team version 27.

Opened up there at the back concerningly

I never realised we'd only scored 15 at home in 19 games. That's truly appalling

How has Wilks missed that!!!

HTF did Wilkes miss that?

Jesus Christ. 6 yards out and the fornicator nearly goes out for a throw

Dembeles effort just not enough and its a corner and Rose then misses not only an open goal from 6 yards out but the entire goal!! >:(

Who would have thought the assistant manager is a former striker

I don’t know how Rose, Hooper or Clarke are anywhere near any line up. But what do I know. It’s not as if we’ve faired better when they haven’t. If we don’t win today I really can’t see us staying up. I just don’t think we’ve got enough in this squad to get over the line.

Get Rose off he's a liability hes just played himself into trouble for the 3 time in 30 minutes

Rose has just carried on from his last game absolute excrement.
Why is McSheff playing out wide?? To old to slow

Quoted from TAGG

Me and my Dad agree Tagg. He played well last week sat behind the strikers finding space to drop into.

Yet another bad miss! 😪

Brilliant dribbling by Fox, ball comes across the box and its an inch too far for McSheffry!

How many shots have we had cleared off the line in last 3 games.  Did Fenty sell his soul to the devil or something?

Swindon 0-1 Morecambe
Vale 1-0 Chesterfield

Not been able to tune into the game as I am busy today but infer from the handful of posts that we’re looking pretty mediocre.

Stevenage very poor but really we're not much better. Having said that we've had 3 gilt edged chances and flunked them all badly. 😪

Vale down to 10 men

We are mediocre, but we're better then Stevenage, just that same old problem scoring a goal!

HOW have even we not scored today?! Three clear cut chances plus a cracking long ranger from Dembele. Surely we wont get chances like that second half...

Lets hope for a bit of luck like an own goal!

Wilks plays the ball through to Rose and he takes the keeper completely out if the picture as he passes the ball across the box shame Hooper didnt put any effort into attacking the space...

Barnet 1-0 up

That man again Akinde-Pen

Swindon 1-1 Morecambe

Vale 1-1 Chesterfield  :X

Seems painful at the minute. We don't seem to have a goal in us and Stevenage can easily play out an away draw.

Clifton on for Wilks. I'm asuming Clifton has gone wide and McSheffrey pushed up front

How did we keep that out! Floating header over Macca, hits the post their player fluffs it on the line Mills semi clears it while on the floor and they hit it off the post

Barnet 1-1

Hopefully luck is turning our way....

How on earth did that stay out for them....a very open game now and we are still creating chances

We just a goal!  >:(

As long as we create chances we have a chance. We just need some luck. This team is giving us chances, We wont be as lucky with other teams

Vernon on for McSheffrey  :X

...... just ......

Is that 'need', 'want' or 'scored'? I do wish you wouldn't do that!  :)

Appalling second half. No skill, no guile, no inspiration. Nothing. We're going down for certain.

Let's hope it isn't going to be conceded

I’m sitting here thinking of better times when you might, for example, see Disley sneak a late goal through an injury time diving header.

I just can’t believe how far we have fallen.

Absolutely nothing in this...and when I mean nothing. Two very very poor teams with no rhythm or plan between the pair of them.

Quoted from Badger57

Must be watching a different game to me Badger this is the best I've seen for a while. Its the usual of nothing is dropping for us. There certainly plenty if guile and inspiration today and they are all playing to the best if their skill

Dembele for Hall-Johnson

Vale 2-1 Chesterfield

Quoted from Gainsbro_Mariner

Vale 2-1 Chesterfield

Excellent

Akinde -Pen makes it 2-1 Barnet

The second half has been flipping abysmal.

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Akinde -Pen makes it 2-1 Barnet

Do not like :(

We are useless, WTF has Wilko been doing with our so called strikers??

Well, I suppose a clean sheet and a point is not to be sniffed at?

Another game, another permeatation from the squad and yet again...nothing. No goals. No win. We are gone....

We simply dont have any players with composure in the box. Played better than we have for a while but in the end goals win games and we dont have any in the squad.

Or is it another point closer to safety? Time will tell .

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Akinde -Pen makes it 2-1 Barnet

Oh for a striker good enough to be fouled in the box

Chesterfield lose. Well we gain a point but i doubt that will be enough. Havn't they just got an experienced coach to reactivate them?

A decent first half, no composer in front of goal, second half poor, no guile or enough skill and eventually run out of ideas. Is a point enough, I don't know.

I said we should've signed Beethoven...on second thoughts he'd have just rolled over

MJ prob thought we had enough in the tank to not play suliman and rest him for next week ...[ wishfull thinking ]
