Quoted from Paris Mariner

Look up

Oh yeah doh!

Jesus christ town. Get a grip!!

i was having a great time in the pub, came home for this. Come on Town, get wit it, wake up

All to do now.

WTF! Pell was aweful last game too. What's Clay actually done wrong?

Barnet 1-0

Torquay also winning 1-0 v Gateshead

every time Alan Buckley comes back we mess up. he os not the reason, he just makes it worse, cant stand him

we will win this though

I wouldn't have picked Pell or Parslow due to the last game plus there on loan and should really be 2nd choice to the contracted players unless on fire and on form.

Anyone totally disappointed by this start and looking to entertain themselves whilst listening, please read my blog: http://theliquidfootballblog.wordpress.com

Can't help but agree. Disley has played well recently and Clay has been pretty decent all season by most accounts.

So in the first 20 minutes we've had 2 shots, both from outside the box. Gripping stuff I imagine.

Im sure the main reason Parslow and Pell were brought in was to cover the injuries i hope Clay can force his way in again as i like him he works hard gets stuck in.  C'mon you mariners

Got to dig in Town. Kiddy are no mugs. Got some decent players in that squad. Capable of putting a couple in if we are not switched on. See this being a long and difficult afternoon for Town.

C,Mon Town,  sounds like we need some urgency in going forward.

How many times does this happen to us and even with a holding midfielder....that is absolute pish

GOAL! Visitors break from a Town corner and Johnson races clear to slot beyond McKeown

30: At the other end a loose ball falls for Verma but his weak effort drifts well wide of the goal

3:31 PM

29: Brown releases Thomas with a nice ball on the left but not one #GTFCattacker anticipates the ball to the near post

3:24 PM

22: Great save from Lewis to deny LJL after a beautiful flick from Arnold set him free

3:20 PM

19: Brown with a lovely run and low fizzing shot that us turned away for a corner by Lewis

3:15 PM

14: Arnold floats in a free kick from the left but Lewis dives full length to turn away the effort 

3:11 PM

10: Robinson comes forward and slips in Hales but the Harriers midfielder curls a 20 yard effort over

3:08 PM

7: Brown strides forward from midfield but his shot is well wide of the target#GTFC

33: Pell fires in a left foot shot that Lewis palms into the air but LJL is offside from the rebound

3:35 PM

34: McKeown pulls off a flying save to deny Varma a spectacular 30 yard goal

Whats going on

37: Hales should have made it 2-0 to the visitors but he rolls it past McKeown and the far post from the left side of the box

If we don't buck our ideas up they will score again, C,Mon Town wakey wakey!!!

It's a good question. Where is the consistency you need to get out of this pit of a league?

Is Parslow a square peg? It does seem that way.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

You happy with the team selection mate.  

40: McKeown spills a Nicholson free kick but Pearson is there to clear the danger

Ashley chambers scores for dag n red whilst the much loved richard Brodie has put southport in front
And both scunts n Lincoln winning.depressing....

Quoted from immariner

At right back and centre back but not a def mid.  Not for me.

I think we need another up front along side Lewis, Hopefully Neilson will buck up in the second half.

42: That definitely should have been two as Johnson is given the freedom of Blundell Park but he fires well wide with just McKeown to beat

I think we should put Clay on

:/ Come on Town. Needs to be changed at half time.

What's Buckley taken today? He's never usually this full of himself?! Haha

HT: GTFC 0 KHFC 1 - Johnson's early goal puts visitors ahead & they've had chances to extend that lead as Town struggle to get going

So whats the problem then?

Town expected an easy ride

Kiddy pumped up by their manager

The shape is not working

Or the wrong players picked

Sounds like the shape is wrong but I'd be surprised if PH makes a change before 65 minutes.

Yeah probably because he likes to see a reaction but i think some of the can count themselves lucky to have retained there place as if i was manager the team would be different.  Anyway i dont want to take anything away from the unbeaten run but i think this maybe the end of it.

At the match and it's been really bad imo, the shape doesn't work and people just don't give Ljl an inch now and just kills off his threat only use is to try and head it on for others. Should play 4-3-1-2 imo try and reignite the Pittman Lewis partnership have Nielson or Arnold being creative behind them and going wide, let the fullbacks come forward more because aswas and magnay are good at it and not able to do it enough at the minute, and have Scott brown or parslow fill in for them when they do, at the minute it definately looks more like a 4-51 than a 4-3-3

Possibly the most logical, sensible thing I've ever heard on BBc Radio Humberside.. "Loose Parslow.. That holding role is to help ensure you do not concede, but it's happened, so loose him, he's currently costing us an attacking player which we now need"

LJL has gone 3-4 games without scoring hasn't he.

Quoted from Meza

LJL has gone 3-4 games without scoring hasn't he.

Yeh because teams have realised the way we play if you just bear hug him we've got no threat

No changes. Quelle surprise.

People seem to have said time and again that Arnold and Neilson just aren't getting close enough to Lenny. Usually means we're decent defensively because we essentially have 5 across the middle but at home it's not going to see us score enough goals if the two 'wide men' aren't advanced enough.

I'm a bit frustrated that Hurst hasn't made a change. Time will tell if his rollicking has had the desired effect.

As Mike Bassett said we should play

Four four f*cking two lol

Ffs

G'night.

How about 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 forming an orderly queue at the exit, 2-0

FFS hurst

48: GOAL! Byrne nods home the resulting corner from inside the six yard box.#GTFC 0 #KHFC 2

All to do now.

Game over and im pished off

Should have been braver- stubborn man!

FFS

49: Town respond well but John-Lewis rushes his shot after a lay off from Magnay and it goes wide #GTFC

52: McKeown gets across well to keep out a 20 yard effort from Robinson 

We made subs, yeah?

The chance was there to change it and he didn't  clearly it wasn't working and what does he do he carrys on.  This is one of those things i hate about PH

Pittman on.

57: McKeown gathers at the second attempt after fumbling Johnson's shot


4:14 PM

56: Magnay again the supply line but the ball is nicked away from LJL before he can shoot

57: Pearson flicks on an Arnold set piece but neither Nsiala nor LJL can force the ball in with Lewis clawing the former's header out 

4:15 PM

57: #GTFC Sub: Pittman for Parslow

60: A sustained period of #GTFC pressure ends with Brown firing a wild effort across the face of goal from 25 yards

Same old same old !
I predicted another home stuffing today , Playy offs at best for Town this year and we all know that means another damp squib

62: Great free kick from Neilson on the right, Nsiala is unmarked but his header is weak and easy for Lewis 

25 minutes left, C,Mon Town lets get a goal back within the next 5 minutes.

64: Brown with a fine ball to release Arnold, he teases his man & crosses but neither Pittman nor Magnay can get there

Barnet 1 Woking 1

Come on Town

UTM

Sounds like Marvin Johnson who is a winger is causing all sorts of problems.

66: OFF THE LINE! Johnson denied as Neilson clears his effort away after a corner works its way to the far post

Back to the good old inconsistent Town.  It won't be quite on here tonight.

Well i wont be on here id only get myself wound up more.  Once I have finished with updates it'll be good night  

73: #GTFC Subs: Disley and Hannah for Pell & LJL

74: Hannah tries his luck from fully 30 yards but it's easily gathered by Lewis

76; Wonderful cross from Thomas is inches away from Disley and Pittman can't convert at the far post 

77: OFF THE LINE! Disley sees his header cleared by Hodgkiss after neat build up from Hannah and Magnay 

Hannah is a goalscorer given the right service !

Quoted from gytone

Hannah is a goalscorer given the right service !

And a game now and again

Att: 3,446 #GTFC #KHFC

Hope we learn a lesson from this game today ready for Tuesday because we don't want to lose again, Another tough game!

Disley seems to have made a difference since coming on.

Wrexham losing 3-2
Gateshead 1-1 Torquay
Barnet still winning
Bristol R winning

I think we could play another 90mins and still not score

86: Pittman flicks on a cross but Magnay stealing in at the far post can only fire straight at Lewis

Did we think that with all of their players leaving that this was an easy game - very slow starting in both halves has cost the team badly !

Sounds like several players have had poor games all at the same time !

Gateshead 2-1 Torquay
Bristol R 2-2 Chester

Buckley just summed it up - Changes not made quick enough, Will be interesting to hear Pauls response when Tondeur puts it to him..if he gets asked the question of course.

Standby for straw clutching later on.

Awful performance today, wrong midfield, pell and Parslow awful again and brown doesn't look fit.

We are still 2nd on goal difference

Barnet look good for the title, Lets no kid ourselves, Playoffs for Town.

Correction barnet 1-1 woking

I thought Barnet was 1-1
