In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD
Shocking short corner (what's the point in them?) led to first and they just walked that second in. This is excrement and why is JM on the pitch? He's hopeless.
Formation is a farse. Looks like we're playing with two defensive midfielders, one winger and three strikers. It's incredibly lop sided and has left LOADS of space at the back for them to exploit. We knew they were a passing team, we should have set up to press and counter. Arnold and Pittman have been invisible - mainly because they don't appear to know where they're meant to be playing.

4-2-3-1 May work for the likes of Chelsea but for us it sucks. They have ripped us to shreds with their forwards pace against our defence. A good start has been slowly taken away and we have a mountain to climb.
Baldrick ! The only impression you can do is that of a man with no talent !! GTFC team 09/10 - Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick.

As long as we've gave it a go I'll be happy losing to a better team sometimes you have to hold your hand up and say ok we've been beaten by a better team. However if they've just not put any effort in and rolled over and died then they need a kick up the backside.
Just had a chat with wapping mariner about exactly the same. Of course we would love another cup run like last year for the £££ but, give me promotion any day. That's not to say we should not show the competitions any disrespect either

Spot on with the whole shape of the team And about Aronld & Pittman. Hurst should have changed a lot of things at half time. Diz off what the fook is all that about?????

Are you there Chris? Has any Town player had a decent game up to now?
Yes. LJL had a good first twenty minutes. That aside, everyone has been terrible. Oxford aren't that good either. We've just been inept - in both a footballing and tactical sense.

Thanks mate, Tondeur and Buckley seem to think Oxford are well in control and are the better team.
Just turned on the tele and surprised were loosing 3-0.May loose out on some prize money but hopefully now we can focus and give everything on the league UTM

We're flattering them. All their goals have been the result of poor play on our part. We've played too many bad passes and mis-controlled too many simple balls today and they've punished us for that.
I mean look at it this way - since we've gone 4-4-2 it's 1-1 and we've still not been playing as well as we can. Hurst has a lot to answer about the formation in the first half.
It's strange but I genuinely thought we'd beat Oxford on the top of conference/bottom of league 2 theory. On the basis that Wycombe are also beating Barnet with ease maybe the conference isn't that strong this year?
Just hope the lads are not too deflated with todays result and can take our league form into Tuesday's game, Hopefully with Pearson scoring that will give us confidence.
That is way over the top. There was another team on the pitch you know and they were better than us today.
I don't think so. That was the most unexciting FA Cup tie involving Town I've ever seen, really it was. We had a 10 minute patch in the first half where Lenny hit the post and McCreth hit a feeble shot that their keeper still managed to fumble. Apart from that we were dismal. There was no fight at all. It's the FA Cup for heaven's sake, let's have a go at least! Yes, Oxford outplayed us in all departments and were never in any danger of not winning this game. Yes, they were better than us but that wasn't difficult was it?

Did you not see the defeats to Tamworth or Bath City?
I know we like to see town win, but why can't fans enjoy watching the football played by the opposition as well. I thought it was an interesting game to watch until the last 20 mins or so when there was little for either team to play for.
