looks good on paper. lets hope thy do the bizz

Good strong team that in all positions.

Glad to see Dennis and RHJ ( we missed him against  Swindon) in today. Nothing against Cookie but Dennis is a class above his movement off the ball is brilliant and RHJ just provides us with something more when we go forward and pace at the back when we are defending.

A lot of teams around us playing each other. There's a good chance we could be 4 points off the play offs by the end of the day.

Cmon Town

UTM!!!

feeling good about that lineup, UTM!

We look poor so far gotta say, were on the attack as im typing this though

They mustve heard me waking up a bit now

nice move from Town, corner, UTM!

I wish Embelton would play the ball earlier sometimes. Cambridge look poor. If we get the first goal I think they'll crumble l.

Great ball from RHJ to Dennis there too tight an angle to get a real good shot off though

Nice move there by town, comes from hall johnsons movement as when he last played, think he should always play personally

decent run and effort by Dennis. I think Town are playing ok, quite bright

Like I said earlier in the thread I thought we missed RHJ at Swindon, his pace going forward and his defensive efforts makes a difference

Morecambe 1 up in the battle down the bottom

Macca saves us again. Defence too busy putting their hands up for the offside instead of playing to the whistle

Embleton doesnt seem himself today think thats making a difference

There no 20 Brown looks a player

Ffs iFollow commentary gone.

Having to listen to Hull at the moment, this ifollow is not the most reliable

1 down macca came for cross then went back

sodomist

excrement!

Have they sent you to the Scunny game now as well?

Yes mate, I’m now having to listen to Scunthorpe

Been a woeful first half from town

Predictable, weve not turned up today so far

Embleton doesn't seem himself today very off the boil. We need to be making more diagonal balls and direct balls we're too flat just passing it 5 yards from side to side.

Bright first 10 minutes when we passed it around nicely without creating much (and they kicked it to us pretty much every time they got the ball). Worse and worse after that. Passing is slow and inaccurate, all the midfielders are having games to forget and the forwards are isolated. Cambridge have become more of a threat as the half has progressed as we've given them the confidence to pass it around quite decently at times.

This is a game where the wing-backs aren't getting involved enough, either in defence or attack.

Half-time rollicking required!

Well that was a half of 2 halves!

First 15 or so zippy passing & pressing then over complicated it and regressed.

Embleton far too deep and Hendrie has loads of space but no possession.

Why is embo playing so deep? His basically sitting in front of the defenders half the game, need him behind the striker making things happen, very poor first half from town.

Been saying this the last few games.
He looks tired 😞

Quoted from Hagrid

Been a woeful first half from town

Wasn't someone on here going to win enough to pay for his holidays? (better make it Meggies the way it looks at the moment)

Lethargic....
Zero movement
Zero pace
Zero efforts on goal

Massive hole in the middle when we get the ball...Clifton joins the front line Hess drops in at right centre and Embleton too deep.

Massive half time this for Jolley ....needs shaking up or we are sleepwalking to a loss

Macclesfield MkII so far. Cambridge have little quality but we've made them look decent by being so slow in deed and in thought  Embleton has wanted too much time on the ball and so many moves have broken down for this reason. Crosses in to the box have been poor at best and the ball just hasn't stuck to Thomas. The lack of urgency for a side supposedly chasing the play offs has been very surprising. Mentality just seems off.

Id just make a couple of early changes, try and inject something into the team because im not seeing anything different so far
Vernam for embleton at least, not many options on the bench really

Embleton has been off the boil since December time in my opinion.

Chances of us actually scoring from a free kick?

Cooks made a difference since he came on, actually got someone who wants the ball now

Get embleton off for vernam fs

Embleton off for Vernam, about 10 minutes too late he's just not been in this game at all today

Laptop went to sleep and now the option for watching the match has dissapeared can only listen, flipping ifollow

Thats the end of the season either way :(

game over

Balls.

Collins really is too slow >:(

Oh danny boy

Wow. Everything has been wrong. Why did we change a side that won 4 of the last 5?

Rubbish

Bag o' shite, promised much delivered f*** all. That 2/1 odds is suddenly explained

Ohman was an enforced change as was Woolford and if you saw people on Twitter and Facebook the vast majority wanted Dennis in for Cook

Quoted from Davec

D'oh! I didn't realise Woolford was an enforced change. I wouldn't have changed Cook, him and Thomas were linking well the past few games.

Just a very dissapointing match all round really

Woeful...

Just not good enough today. Second to everything, created nothing and just generally outplayed outsidr if that first 10 minutes.

Total waste of a saturday afternoon.. Never looked interested , i would fine them a weeks wages and make fenty let everyone in for free next home game

Had a funny feeling we would blow it today. Actually thought it would be like buses and be another draw.

My fault. Whenever I put money on town to win 2-0 the opposite happens. Lesson learnt.

Really hope Collins is not offered a new contract end of season, at 39 his simply just past it now, dizza didn’t get offered one for his experience so neither should Collins, missed Ohman today in the Center

Big chance missed today with the Village Green going down to the Gimps.

And Exeter

Quoted from scott_gtfc_89

And Exeter

Aye, but I'm not that much of an optimist.  ;)

7th is far as I look, unless the ones above have played more games.

Poor all round, RHJ looked like the only player who would create anything. Collins, Thomas, Clifton, Embleton looked poor and not a lot of positive for the others (Again Macca kept us in it) We seemed to have no real pace or ingenuity in the team today and I hope Ring is still getting used to English football as he is so weak side by side and gets easily knocked off the ball by every opponent.
Just watch us win by 4 next week with the same line up. :)

It would be better to stay down this season and strengthen in the summer,

Then go and win the league next season.

We will need too many additions this summer if we do go up,

Get the 2 or 3 new lads in to get us up and then hopefully will only need another 2 or 3 when  we are L1.

Keeping the best of what we already have oviously .

Priority in the summer for me is another striker.

Ring has said in an interview about the difference in physicality in the leagues. As long as he sticks with it, beefs up a bit, he was getting himself in some really good positions today and a few times was on the receiving end of poor passes. I think he’ll come good
