Mansfield thread

No Hanson?

Best line up we have given the available players.

No Hanson?

Good to see Ira getting his chance. Let's hope he can deliver the goods today. A win will keep us in with just a sniff of a chance. Any less and we'll be hearing the dulcet tones of the fat lass.

No Hanson?

Must be injured?

Quoted from Madeleymariner

No Hanson?

That's messed up a few predictions  

Has to be, given the bench.

Still haven't decided to buy the game or not.

Any advice welcome?

Do you have anything better to be doing on a Saturday afternoon right now? I don't in the current climate so I'll probably be buying games for the rest of the season regardless of if we stay up or not.

I'm in, can't wait to watch a victory

UTM

I wont lie I didn't even consider watching today until 5 minutes ago when I see the team sheet and logged onto here for the first time in a while 😂 UTM

  We need to win desperately but also, and I've never ever said this before, I really hope that Scunthorpe win too!

Quoted from TonySmith

I know how much that hurt, just said the same to my lad, never thought I'd usher those words..."come on Scunny, do Grimsby a favour"...

Quoted from TonySmith

Yup.  I hope they do us more favours than bloody Newport who let everyone but us beat them. They have beaten us twice in the last 20 odd games and almost no body else!

Come on you Iro.....

No sorry. Can't do it.

Good to see Jackson playing right wing....thats where he played last season when he scored all his goals rather than upfront.
We will win today as i have to go out and will miss it.
Good luck out there Town!

Let's hope we get some luck for once.

Oh, a decent ref who is not continuously conned by opposition cheats.

Horse racing far more interesting now . Can’t even be ars.ed to listen to it . I’ve got town in my football bet today at a touch over 4/1 so not totally given up on us . We’re due a win by the law of averages.

£10 a go is a bit steep. Dont mind buying a game every now and then though.

Terrible free kick by Lamy FFS

Good start
UTM

Is that our team bus in the corner?  Looks quite flashy!

barrow 1 up

Don’t think I’ll ever get used to listening to football in empty stadiums. It’s bad enough that we’re rubbish without having it played in soulless echo chambers

Barrow 1 up.

Not much to report in first 15.they look to have a more attacking threat but it's even Steven's generally.working hard and closing down well

Looking forward to this.  Actually got a win last night .  First home game since January due to a small COVID outbreak.  Despite dominating the game for 45 minutes against local rivals and scumbags Saigon, we never had a shot on goal - sound familiar?  The opposition had little possession but more chances - sound familiar?  Halfway through the second period they were awarded a penalty against the run of play.  It wasn't a pen - sound familiar.  I thought oh no , here we go again. Our keeper hadn't red the script and pushed it against the bar and got to it before it crossed the line. We had a shout for an obvious penalty but it was waved away - sound familiar? Saigon resorted to gamesmanship.  Going down with cramp etc.  Five mins extra time. first minute was the Saigon players rolling around. 96th minute get the ball into the box and their defender upended our striker.  Finally, a bloody win. Come on Town.  They need to get some composure.

port vale 1 up

Load of flipping shite

Wow, what a goal. Got to ask who should be picking him up, but Macca stood now chance

Ouch. No stopping that.

Great shot to be fair, Macca didn't stand a chance.

He had so much time he could have juggled it a few times.

First shot. Not a lot you can do.


Game over....

Quoted from sapper mariner

port vale 1 up

At Colchester but won't matter anyway because we can't win a game.

Always us losing while all the others are doing OK
Time to switch to another game as this is shite!

We could have had 2 goalkeepers but I still doubt it would have been saved.

The inevitability of us going behind after Barrow go in front is just what I expected.

Absolutely no hope in any game at any time against any opposition. Has to be the worst Town side ever and that takes some doing.

Sick to fooking death of this sh1te, game after game, season after season.

We’re the worst Town side we’re the worst at set pieces I’ve seen in 40 odd years.

don't shoot - don't score!! Come on town have ago!

Is Tondeur commentating from his living room it sounds so weird, you normally hear some background noises or players shouting

This crop make Neil Woods team look like Barca

I'm off to clean my conservatory windows. That's how bad we are.

Going to be a long afternoon

We won't score because our attacking tactic is to urine about in non-threatening positions before eventually deciding to just lump it forwards onto a defender's head. We don't have a player on the pitch capable of beating a man, so it's really simple for Mansfield just to sit deep and clear our aimless punts. The only way we will score is if we get a lucky bounce or through a defensive mistake.

We never ever score a 25 yarder.

Quoted from Garth

Going to be a long afternoon

Not many left now though, thank god .

Mansfield are on a poor run but we're making them look like Man City.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

We’re the worst Town side we’re the worst at set pieces I’ve seen in 40 odd years.

It's criminal.  It's the one thing you can practise.  Stick a dustbin in the box and get in before you get home.   That last Mansfield free kick is how it's done. Inswinger with pace, just needs helping on or changing direction.

Felt this way for a couple of seasons now, every game we look like a team from a couple of leagues below our opposition. They look stronger, faster and their football flows. Everything we do looks clumsy and is easily stopped before a move starts. Our players stumble around the field in defence or attack looking lost.

Who’s Barrow manager Bobby Robson.!!

Maybe get him next season.

Certainly missing hanson. Not sure if payne has touched the ball  certainly hasnt had any effect. Looks like all these games have caught up with coke, is looking a bit off the pace

Barrow 1-1 Crawley

Not that it will matter.

Waterfall is a flipping moron. Absolutely loves giving away stupid cheap fouls in the opposition box. We'd be better off leaving him back on the half way line whenever we get a set piece.

Why can we not cross a ball.!!!!
What do they do in training ffs.

What a crap free kick.  Even if we get a head to it , it's hard to get any power. Stop trying to convert a rugby try!!

The same garbage we've seen all season. Absolutely rubbish. No gameplan, no forward movement, can't cross a ball, can't win a tackle in the second phase. It's laughable.

Payne reminds me of Simeon Jackson, as I recall he scored on his debut too then didn't do anything of note. Seems really lazy, won't chase a ball, gets rid of it when he gets it.

I have stopped watching as suddenly wondered why I was spending £10 or £20 a week for something that was bringing me no pleasure. Now feel surprisingly zen about the inevitable relegation and am just thinking how great it will be to go to a game next season under new owners with a properly built squad after a proper pre-season. If that's against Maidenhead so be it, it will be better than this.

This commentator doesn't even know his own players.

the decision making by these players beggars belief. Terrible passing in to dangerous areas, just inviting trouble. What a shower this lot are. I hope at season end the vast majority are shipped out

Poor.

Fenty out, Hurst out, everyone out.

With you on that one! Hopefully, we can all catch up as a tribe and introduce them to the delights of National League football.

I think, and I say this with all honesty.......

Ive got more chance of scoring in Mansfield's goal.................and Im sat in my summerhouse in the back garden here in Grimsby.

37 minutes and not a single attempt at all. Do they even realise we are so far adrift at the bottom?

Barrow 2-1. Penalty

Take One of shop or Payne off, bring on adams and Williams for a touch of pace and maybe swap off coke for some pace

Quoted from smokey111

Definitely. Halifax on the train, meet en route in Leeds could be a good one!

I see Giles Coke has become the player rival fans warned us he would be.

I’m shocked signing players from NLN didn’t work

Garbage, zero goal threat and both central mid field players completely anonymous. The midfield look far to deep.

“Us shape” doesn’t appear to be working.

Quoted from Kris2

I know, you'd think hed be busting an absolute gut, having been left out and now getting this unexpected chance

Get rid of every single one of them all of them tosh

This team would struggle in the National League.

45 man squad and none of them wiling to fight for it

let's get a goal before half time  and win it in the second half!

Theyve looked a beaten team since kickoff
Literally nothing positive all half
After the manager telling us they're putting putting the effort in, I expected a lot more  

I was just driving through Bromley this morning thinking "Well, I guess I'll be coming here next season".  I've accepted our fate...like Rodley Mariner.... it brings with it a zen-like calm.

This is the worst season I can remember - no goals, no drive....

This lot are an embarrasment

Quoted from Nutsy

Take One of shop or Payne off, bring on adams and Williams for a touch of pace and maybe swap off coke for some pace

He will.................but not until the 87th minute

Quoted from Mayaman

This commentator doesn't even know his own players.

Do our players know each other?

Oh a corner.  Shame we can't deliver

Lenny has spent more time watching the game than playing in it.

I think, I've tuned into radio Sydney.

Good corner that, right where you'd want the ball to drop, yet for some reason we had no players anywhere near it and the defender can head it away under no pressure?! What the intercourse are they doing while practicing set pieces all week?

Deja vu

Never mind.less the 4 months to the first pre season friendly!

Some changes at half time please Mr Hurst. Chuck Norris wouldn’t bag a goal in this team.

First time ever I have turned off
I cannot put up with cluelessness any more

Every game
No shots
No chances
Repeat
Honestly feel this GTFC team would be bottom six in NL

Need a boot up the arce at half time.

Quoted from forza ivano

Never mind.less the 4 months to the first pre season friendly!

Pity we didn’t try that this season

Quoted from Masirah Mariner

When you look at the bench it makes you feel even worse.

I guess this lot know new owners coming in mean that the vast majority of them will soon be looking for a new club a long way down the pyramid and have thrown in the towel .

Utter disgrace to the club .

What a team this is. Laughably bad.

Hard watch that, some poor defending wide allowed the space for the goal we don’t look threatening.
Wide players and front 2 have struggled to get into the game. They’re excrement and we need a better half. Maybe a change of shape required with 3 in the middle.

Stefan Payne is offering naff all!..at least Lenny is trying to hassle the defenders but the refs favouring Mansfield.
Matete needs to move forward with the ball more, Coke not tearing any trees up and you can just what Waterfall doesn't offer anymore.
Hate to say this but Ira's been poor, was hoping for more out of him.
Needs to change it up at half time, Coke off for Spokes, Payne off for Williams.

Hate this bunch
