Match Thread

Crocombe, Efete, Smith, Waterfall, Amos, Coke, Burgess, Clifton, Sousa, Taylor, McAtee.

Subs: Pearson, Maguire-Drew, Scannell, Abrahams, Dieseruvwe.

Jones Injured?

Disappointing to see Scannell dropped to the bench

Why is Pearson only sub again ( only defender on the bench - must be really struggling with injuries )

"I actually think we played better when we were on a losing run" hurst in his post match press conference

Next game *drops all the players that have been winning us games since the losing run ended*

Ah the old ‘play Giles Coke in the tough games to keep us more defensively solid but create nothing’ tactic again

Concede anyway then only give all the class players weve got on the bench 5 minutes at the end

A strong bench again though.  We can at least try and change things if we go a goal down.

Surprise selection but some big tests ahead and one today for sure.

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

*waits patiently for the 83rd minute*

We don’t know who may have knocks or be struggling…….

I am a little concerned that once again we are worrying about the oppistion instead of letting them worry about us, harsh on Scannell not to be starting but it perhaps indicate that Hurst still does not trust him much despite last week.

Positive is that Taylor is back, and with Mani and Abrahams on the bench we have options there and competition for places.

We need a good ref today. Borehamwood's bruisers will have an easy task taking the ball from Sousa and Taylor whereas Abrahams and Mani are much more robust. If Sousa can win corners and throws at least, then we can maximise from set pieces. He is unlikely to get far with dribbling along the touchline against their defence.

Not seen him play but why drop our only big striker against what I thought was a team of mainly tall players especially as he is in goalscoring form but then not that I'm too bothered it's 8.30pm here and well away on sri lankan rice and curry amd Lion lager

Would have kept the same 11

Understandable caution, what with Jacob ‘Mendy’ Mendy fixing things for them in the middle of the park.

Dag & Red 1-0 Notts Co

Solihull Moors 1-0 Eastleigh

Dagenham 1 up against Notts and breathing down our necks. Solihull winning too

They seem to score for fun. Wonder what that feels like.

Solihull 2 up

Fun?

Wealdstone beating Stockport

Stockport 0-1 Wealdstone    

Salford 1-0 Scunny  

Sounds like quite an uneventful game so far which suits us, I'll settle for a late winner.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Salford 1-0 Scunny  

I can honestly see them failing to pick up another point between now and the end of the season. They are utterly dismal.

Quoted from Poojah

Great in it … feck em

Wish Mani was starting.  

With Dag & Red Drawing with Notts Co at the moment a win for us would give us a bit of breathing space (3 pts) come on Town.

Stockport 0-2 Wealdstone  

Sounds like we've got yet another weak referee letting them get away with persistent thuggery.

Sounds a pish ref

Quoted from Chrisblor

Sounds like we've got yet another weak referee letting them get away with persistent thuggery.

Absolutely. Against a team of giant thugs you need a strong ref.

It again sounds like we dont have one

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Sounds a pish ref

Didn't know you had a bit of Scottish in you KM  

And another bad tackle unpunished

This ref is crap, foul on Amos nothing given.

Fair play can see what hurst was doing now, protecting our in form players from getting snapped in half

Quoted from promotion plaice

Didn't know you had a bit of Scottish in you KM  

Eh, that's just a rumour.


Mind you, I'm eying a bottle of Scotch.

Stockport 2 - 0 down
Notts Cty drawing 1 - 1

Salford 2-0 Scunny

Shame  

We know their game. Needless physical challenges to intimidate our players. Dirty gets.

this referee is enabling their butchery style tackling

Half-time  0-0

That'll do so far.

Very poor half, poor ref poor linesman, 0-0 would be flattering to both teams

Bit scrappy to be honest, we have some talent on the bench I think we’ll need something more to win this game.

After the season they’ve had I’m amazed how few home supporters there is here.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Probably too many big teams nearby. Watford only 20 minutes away and the big London clubs are probably far more popular in those commuter towns.

Only 1 prem game on today and from what I can see no Championship clubs at home nearby either.

Solihull 3-2 now

Quoted from RobDef1

Only 1 prem game on today and from what I can see no Championship clubs at home nearby either.

I wonder how many people living there even know they have a local team.  

Also doesn't mean people want to go see them if their team isn't playing, do our fans go watch Cleethorpes Town and Grimsby Borough when we aren't playing?

Quoted from Kris2

I wonder how many people living there even know they have a local team.  

Ha fair enough. In their defence, the club is spelt different to the place, weirdly.

Quoted from pontoonlew

Ah the old ‘play Giles Coke in the tough games to keep us more defensively solid but create nothing’ tactic again

I got hammered on here for suggesting Giles Coke was a handicap and it was like playing with 10 men when he plays, my garden shed is more mobile than him.
So, we'll see what happens today then.
If we play a blinder with coke in the midfield and he bangs in the winning goal, I'll be gracious and admit I was wrong.
Seems we are there for a point listening to it so far.

Well scoring isnt his game

We’re doing okay just support it till 5

Pressing well at the moment time for a goal

Cmon town, doing really well at the minute

Getting on top, borehamwood look poor

Fans are in fine voice now. Come on Town let's have a goal.

Stockport 2 - 2

Time for scannell or JMD

3-2*

Quoted from DB

Stockport 2 - 2

Stockport 3-2 Wealdstone

Not that it matters to us

Cmon town find that goal

Notts Cty 2 - 1 up, we need a win

I can feel another late goal coming on this game

Mcatee misses a huge chance

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

I can feel another late goal coming on this game

Time to bring Mani on?

Quoted from Hagrid

Mcatee misses a huge chance

And another

Quoted from SouthLakesMariner

Time to bring Mani on?

Defo need a sub.  C'mon PH

Squandering opportunities!!

ffs

Has the referee booked the wrong Borehamwood player instead of the one already on a yellow card?!

Manny on for Taylor

75th minute sub for all you moaners who say PH doesn't make subs till last few minutes!

JMD on

Sousa off JMD on

Salford 5-1 Scunny

Ref's an utter pillock

This ref sounds like one of the worst we've had this season.

wish we wouldn't float balls in. Especially when it's windy.

Quoted from DB

This ref sounds like one of the worst we've had this season.

Narrow it down a bit

Just seems like if we'd played manny and scannell or jmd from the start we'd have had a better chance of scoring while not losing anything from our tactical shape, easy to say but thats the criticism hurst has left himself open too and if he'd done that I dont think anyone wouldve questioned the reverse

Jmd nearly scoring as I type this

Maguire drew is good at them curling shots whips it torwards top corner a lot

Classic case of "i'd have taken a point beforehand but disappointed not to get all 3"

Sounds like Coke had a good game

Solid performance we pushed them back most of the second half we could of easily won that well played town.

Great point for us there!

Frustrating but not a bad result, we played better and I could see them falling out the playoffs based on their current run of form

Quoted from Chrisblor

Completely agree

Pleased for coke after some of the comments at the start of this thread

I'd have been happy with a point before the game, could have got the win if not for a couple of good saves.

Confident of beating them at home now too

Last 9 games is that now won 6, drew 2 and lost 1?

“A good point” says JT, but it’s not is it? We need to be winning games now. No doubt, many would be pleased with draws against the likes of Solihull, Chesterfield and Stockport, but taking 3 points from 9 will not get us into the playoffs.

Really, really important not to lose these games against teams around us. Even if we were the better side, I’m happy with a point, especially away at a side with the best home record in the league.

We were the better side at home to Notts County and Chesterfield, yet got sod all.

Another big game on Tuesday - mustn’t let Solihull double us.

Cracking point against a team unbeaten at home all season.

Huge two home games next week

Strongly disagree with that. The teams around us have an unreal number of games against one another in the coming weeks. We only have a couple more like that; the trick is absolutely ‘not losing’.

Jesus flipping christ

Its an excellent point away from home

A good point taken, we are hanging on around there now and proving difficult to beat!

As others have said, a bit frustrating not to get all 3 points. But looking at their home record it's not bad.

Just heard Humberside praising the 342 Scunthorpe fans who made the 90 minute journey to Salford. What about the 740 Town who travelled twice as long?

To be fair, I’m astonished more than 50 scunny fans went today, But they’re never gonna compete with us, our fans are too daft to ditch their team!

Mixed afternoon to be honest, a draw away against a team above us but dropping out of the play off positions, then again I guess it shows we’re also harder to beat now.

I’m thinking 5th place is in reach…..then who knows

Like I said earlier that I think if we had kept the same starting 11 we may have come out with the points today.
But a point there is not so bad.
Onward to the next game UTM

I think a point is OK but BW have dropped right away since they lost to Everton. I was surprised at the team selection though.
If you want to get out of this wretched league, cup runs are a distraction. Stockport, Bromley and Wrexham are in the FAT semi-finals. Let's hope for very hard games and extra time so their legs get heavy and  their league form drops away.
When we were in this league before we got distracted by having a run in this meaningless cup competition. Glad we are not in it now.
