Macc thread

Looks a strong team to me, that.

A bit more dynamic going forward with Pringle and Vernam back in. Think Woolford was brought in for the last two games for his reliability in doing the defensive side better than Pringle. Happy to see Pringle back in for a home game where we want to take the game to the opposition.

And Vernam is just a really good footballer isn't he.

I'm not there today but eager to hear how Ring gets on.

So is that from right to left , , ,

RHJ Hendrie Famewo Ring

Is that right??

My guess is RHJ at centre back with Hendrie wide.

Bit harsh on Mitch given his performance last week

Agree with Tommy. Looks a good team on paper that.

Prefer Woodford to Pringle, the Ginger one is ok going forward but doesn’t tackle.

Guess Cardwell must be ill/injured?

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Guess Cardwell must be ill/injured?

JT tweeted that Cardwell has picked up an ankle injury and DC still not ready yet.

Cheers Tommy. Hopefully just a knock.

Pretty even start if you ask me

Ring sounds a bit rusty!

Its dead as a doodoo here

1-0 to Macclesfield

After the lord mayor's show

Disaster of a goal and unfortunately Macclesfield probably deserve to be leading

Don't think its going to end that way. Cmon Town!

Poor ref soft goal........ again🤷‍♂️

This sounds pretty excrement

2-0. Absolute excrement so far

Had a feeling this might happen

Sol will be laughing his socks off at the minute

missing our center halfs defiantly

Famewo looks like he’s on another planet with the other 10 of them.

On this showing so far we ain't safe yet.

Attacking options on the bench are pretty limited

Unless the Cook of 5 months ago is about to reappear

Very disappoining by Mitch Rose it must be said he dallied on the ball got caught in possession and then made a very half-hearted attempt at chasing back.

Sorry lads, ive actually been able to attend the match for once today, so clearly this is my fault

The idiots in the upper findus booing again. intercourse offf

Shockingly bad first half.
Not one single positive about that.

HT  0-2   poor performance by Town  😢

No good playing like heroes at Palace then doing this the weekend after

Simple difference between the teams when our defenders have it they close us down as a team forcing us to punt long which is pointless with the wind blowing as it is, when their defence get it we have 9 players in our half of the pitch. Absolutely shocking and Macc are showing us how to do pass and move football.

We've not looked that bad for a while, difference is they press we don't our CBs can't pass the ball out and have to give it to Macca to hoof, they are getting all the time in the world to pass it around as they see fit.

Cliftons work rate is missed, a Mitch Rose moment leads to a goal. Soft ref but poor defending for their first. Like others have mentioned we've just been poor all over.

At least Ring has looked like he's shaking off the rust as the games progressing a little.

Bloody dreadful. Half arsed. Slow. Boring. Uncommitted.
We’re second every time. Not challenging for high balls and allowing macc to win easily.

Huge improvement needed.

Dismal showing. We can barely string two passes together and the defence is all at sea. Neither Famewo or RHJ can pass so aimless hoofs up front is all we've seen. They've got a giant bloke up front and a giant defender at the back who are winning everything in the air against our diminutive team. Rose having an absolute shocker since he came on, Embleton anonymous and the ball has barely been within 10 yards of Thomas.

Hopefully a rollicking at half-time and then being against the wind this half will change things around a bit. If not, we'll be lucky to keep it to two.

Macclesfield well-organised and hard-working with more pace and a lot more height than us, but they've not really threatened but from our own errors.

Rose showing why he doesn't start games anymore. An atrocious showing from him so far. Thomas is terribly isolated and the midfield and wingers aren't getting up anywhere near quick enough to support him (when the ball isn't launched over his head out of play anyway). Clifton a gigantic miss.

Such a disappointment that half after the last 4-5 games, today was a perfect opportunity to start looking up rather than down, I know it’s not the end of the world but that half was very disappointing.

How can we go from the past few games to that, have we even had a shot?

The midfield need to push up this half as they’re all too deep.

Quoted from Hagrid

The idiots in the upper findus booing again. intercourse offf

Completely agree!

Why they deserve it?

On this showing I fear for us at Lincoln

Hows he not booked their Rose for that foul on Hendrie?

Gimps down to 9

Quoted from CodHead

Gimps down to 9

Only another 3 to go and you’d be able to count their team on the fingers of one of their hands

A Rose on for Pringle

We're finally starting to play well but not getting the rub of the green now.

Famewo replaced by Öhman

Playing a bit better but need a goal quick, to stand a chance of a point

Can't honestly think of anything positive to say about that. Never really looked like scoring and Macc always looked like the might add to their tally. They won at a canter and looks like we've got yet more injuries to deal with. Disastrous day.

Are Davis and Whitmore available again now?

Cant believe how bad that was, the game the atmosphere. Weird

That will be 500 or so off the next gate,,, cant undertand how they can be so bad all of a sudden again

We badly need a striker to help Thomas.

Poor and hugely disappointing, no hiding from that, and not exactly uncharacteristic when we get a good crowd in.

Felt buzzing going into today’s match, thought we would atlesst get a point and have more than 1-2 shots on goal after the past few games, now I feel dead disappointed think it’s because how passionate i feel, with 3 hard games coming up if we don’t win we could find ourself only around 6 points from safety and all that hard work seeming for nothing.

Honesty can’t believe how bad we played

Beaten by a better drilled side whose passing was far better than ours and if you were a neutral looking at the game you would have thought the league positions were the other way around.

We need more bite in midfield and Jolley and Limpbiscuit need to work on passing and moving as it hasn't been good enough for some time.

Mitch stop fcuking about on the ball. quite poor today.

First half killed our chances today, poor ball in the final third during the 2nd half was the nail in the coffin. At least öhman and Ring looked like they're going to be good signings if not a little rusty.

Hope we are not seeing a repeat of last season rearing its head

Macc did a great job on us, played football and forced us to puint long, 2nd half just disrupted with a niggly little foul every few minutres to break any rytham we might start to get going. Thought Embleton, Thomas, Rose M and Vernam wewre poor and you could see Famewo and Ring hadn't played for weeks. The new central defender looks like he is a decent footballer as well as good in the air,, but well done to Sol for setting up his team to do us comprehensively re tactics even if they had no real standout players.

Curse of manager of the month strikes again

started with the wrong team imo there centerhalf was too tall for hall johnson and famweo, should of started with ohman at the back, and with a partner with thomas.

Well that's dampened expectations a bit. illegitimate of a day.

Not great, but we're gonna have games like that with a young side - especially one that is a bit patched up and has players returning and new players coming in. It's important to keep the faith here and hope they learn from it, dust themselves off and get focused on next week. As fans we just need to write it off and not let any negativity set in. These kind of defeats are much easier to swallow when there is a bigger picture and it feels lile something is being built on the pitch. Under Slade, this would have felt like all hope was gone.

Silver lining of the day? No Andrade or Shackell next week for Lincoln.

Can’t understand why MJ didn’t leave 3 of last weeks back 4 and just add ring.

Three goals conceded in 3 games from set pieces underlines the disruption in defence.

We go again...... easy game next week.

Really poor 1st half, badly off the pace in all areas. Perhaps Jolley could have left the defence as it was but I don't think any combination would have worked today.

Definitely a game to write off and just start looking forward to Lincoln game.

Yep and Lincoln will be without Shackell and Andrade as they both got sent off today.

Sol's not such a flipping idiot now is he?. Must be pissing himself laughing

Quoted from Ipswin

Sol's not such a flipping idiot now is he?. Must be pissing himself laughing

He has got them playing really well if today is anything to go by. He may be slightly eccentric with some of his funnier comments, but he has had a great career and good luck to him in his managerial one.

On today's showing they looked better than Notts County and a few others above them.

Yeah, because sat p1ssing yourself laughing when you're second bottom of L2 would be smart.

With Town being so disappointing on Saturday its certainly a game to draw a line under and move on and go again on Saturday.

I like to have a bash at seeing how many of the games I can predict in our league and managed 4/12 this Saturday  

I thought we would win or at least draw - WRONG

I expected Exeter to beat Morecambe - WRONG

I had Mansfield down to beat Yeovil - WRONG

In form Carlisle had to beat Northampton - WRONG

Unfortunately for Town a decent weekend for 7 out of  the 9 teams below us
