Just got back....

To sale in Manchester to get fooked out my face.  Average game , uber goal ,everyone worked hard, parslow didn't clear it far enough they scored.  Magnay is ace. Utm

Thought we never really got going, we didn't deserve to win it but should have after going in front.  

I am home in Shropshire and mightily miffed we allowed them to come at us after our goal and threw away a win.

We huffed and puffed but did not play well apart from 15 minutes when Brown and Clay came on: we scored during that period, but then sat back and invited them onto us. We nearly lost the bloody game too: freekick in a very dangerous position right at the death.

No one saw the goal coming: great strike, but we did not really boss the game or control the match. No one had a bad game, but no one can hold their heads up either.

Left the ground like we'd lost, and am still upset, even half way down my first pint!

For me apart from the goal we completely lacked any real quality.

Playing LJL as the lone striker wasn't working, we just weren't holding it up at all.

I thought they hardly created a thing but for their effort deserved a goal.

It sounds like we played like we did at Dartford and Braintree,

We are doing well but we need to step up a gear.

The first half was dire, 2 fans nipped off to the pub of which i wasn't surprised. Arnolds goal was out of place with the game, cracking strike. We invited pressure, personally thought macca could have collected the ball prior to the corner but 16/18, we go again with back to back home games.

Forgot the mention the idiots with the smoke canisters: stopped our most promising attack in the first half by throwing one onto the pitch just when we were overrunning them and had players available both left and right: ref stopped the match. Tossers!

Tossers of the highest order indeed, I hope they are banned from every game, they're giving us a bad name, quality support again though, must've been near 500 of us, 8 games unbeaten, shame we couldn't make it 6 straight wins but hey ho.

UTM!!

Same old Grimsby. We could write a book "how to throw away a game in 10 minutes or less".

The first half was hoof it forward Shop heads it on to no one. Pell and Disley were slow, only seemed to pass it backwards or sideways never seemed to look to go forward. Arnold and Neilson were to wide and needed to come in more and support Shop better. We had three weak shots on target, they never really threatened. That is pretty much the whole first half. Now onto the idiots with smoke bombs. We need to supply plain clothes cops to mingle and find the idiots throwing these into the crowds now, catch them, ban them for life. Like said above, what was looking like our most promising attack in the first half was pulled back because of these male private heads throwing smoke bombs onto the pitch.  It was great to see the real fans turning on these scrotes after they forced a good attack to be blown dead as the idiots threw the smoke bombs on the pitch at their keeper. It was also nice to see their keeper being a good sport about it especially the second time.

Second half we were poor in midfield again till Clay and Brown came as we continued to hoof the ball to Shop who headed it on to no one. We created nothing, however they had started to threaten. Then Clay and Brown appear and by magic we are passing the ball on the deck, we look quicker, an actual threat and forward passes were being made to feet (No I kid you not to feet). We started looking like we were going to break them down at last and had a number of close calls, then a wonder strike from Arnold and we take the lead. But as per usual instead of increasing the pressure on them which we had being doing up to the goal, instead of pressing them on the edge of the box like we had been doing so well, instead of looking for a 2nd and 3rd goal we retreat to within 5 yards of our own box and desperately try to repel the constant pressure we have brought on ourselves only to try and hoof it away to the shop who has few options. Low and behold we concede a cheap goal as a result I could see it coming for ages l.
