Any team news yet?

No rodman or Jennings in the 16.

Tonk and cook up front. Colbeck rw.

Thomas back.

No Rodman.

McKeown
Hatton
Pearson
Boyce
Thomas
Colbeck
Disley
Kerr
Neilson
Cook
Tounkara

Cook and Tonk up top, should be interesting...

Oh excrement not Colbeck. He's awful. Any news on what's up with Rodman?

I hate to admit it, but I think we're gonna get dicked tonight. They are flying and they're super confident.

Coooooooommmmmeeeeeee on you mighty maaaaaarrrriiinnnneeeerrrrsssss

Maaaariners, Maaaariners, Maaarinerrs

C,Mon Town - sounds pretty quiet at Blundell park tonight.

Come on town!!!!

Buckley's clearly not a Tounkara fan. I don't remember him getting so angry when John-Lewis misses similar simple chances?

Sounds a very very very very very uninspiring game

Quoted from cmackenzie4

C,Mon Town - sounds pretty quiet at Blundell park tonight.

It does sound quiet but when Town are attacking the noise level increases quite a bit.

Come on Town

BBC reckon possession is 40% Grimsby 60% Halifax and Pearson has been booked

Matty Pearson

No, Shaun Pearson and smith for them

Quoted from wycombemariner

No, Shaun Pearson and smith for them

BBC have it wrong, our only booking is Aswad Thomas so far

Halifax have 3 booked, Town have 1 - Thomas.

If we could deliver a decent set piece FFS we'd be winning, but a lot of fouling going on - especially from them.

Halifax don't sound much like the unstoppable team a lot of people were making them out to be.

And Kerr now!  :o

Oh cheers fellas, thought we might be at risk of a red with this ref, but seems they are the ones with the yellows then

Amazing - hope you're right. Having said that I thought LJL had scored for us on Saturday for about 2 minutes and I woz there ;Di

Not a bad half from Town, had the better chances

UTM

Can see a red for them in 2nd half

Come On Town get a goal

Sounds about even, We just need that break and i think we will score, 1 goal should win this!

I'd be shocked if they don't get a red.

Loads of late tackles and niggly fouls.

Halifax are very direct and physical,they're basically a more effective Lincoln.

We're playing the better football and tonk should have scored. Not creating enough chances though.

You wouldn't put it past Thomas or Kerr to pick up a second yellow though would you, and Kerr's delivery sounds gash. A case for bringing on Paddy or Thanoj?

Sounds about even although they do sound a physical side which they are using to try and rough Town up a bit.  

A good tempo start for the second half would suit Town, come on lads big effort and get 3 points tonight!

UTM

I think I would bring on Thanoj and McLaughlin  for Kerr and Thomas now to:

1 Make sure we are still in this game to the end

2 Have all players likely available for the next games

Also, hoping that Shaun Pearson (according to the BBC ) keeps clear of further damaging infringements

come on town

Story of the season, we miss all our chances and then they go and smash one in from nowhere.

Fffffffffs

B***** Colbeck

0-1 shite!

come on Town, we don't deserve to be losing.

UTM

Come on Town

Right, well now we'll see our credentials. If we've got what it takes we'll repond and force our way back into this. If not, we'll crumble away feebly.

Let's see.....

Psychologically, Halifax have scored because there are too many Grimsby players on yellow cards out there, who can't commit.

No way on earth will this team under this manager ever go up  :-/

Can we come back and win a game after going behind for the first time this year?

Agree

Can we intercourse !
Nothing changes with this idiot ,every home game is just the same  :-/

Come on, respond, respond.....

Too much hopeful channel ball launching and hoping for the best.

Hurst needs to not leave it too long to make a change. If this goes 0-2, it's game over.

Maybe some regret over no inclusion of Jennings or Rodman.

Is it just me or do you think Alan Buckley rates Gregory?? ;D

Yeah its getting irritating now

Quoted from chaos33

Yeah nowt like rubbing it in.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

And what makes you think that? ;D

Paddy mc on for colbeck
Hannah on for Tonk

UTM

So he's still got 3 players on with yellow cards! ?

Kerr has become totally infuriating. He's a good player, but since that purple patch in the winter he's been really disappointing.
Wasting good positions, giving the ball away, poor delivery from set-pieces. He was a great source of supply, but that seems to have dried up.

Kerr & Colbeck sound as though they are playing poor. :-/

Games like this, you need these players to show up and turn in a performance. Too many of ours rarely do.

Come on, we keep going til the end - make our own luck.


Last 10 minutes.

UTM

This is so frustrating! We sound so poor

Thanoj on for Kerr

These are part-time, We should have some urgency about us now. :-/

Att 4374

This result will take quite a few off the away following on Friday

sounds a more than a little disappointing , we havent had a decent shot this half

All those who insist that we are 'good enough' may need to reflect on things again after this. No response whatsoever from the team and totally predictable. It doesn't bode well for the play-offs.

Surprise surprise, Hannah offside again.

UTM

It's interesting that we only had one striker on the bench for this home game, whereas in some away games we've had 3 strikers on the bench. We've played for a draw and may not achieve that. I hope we do.

Lack of goals will cost us this season imo, I also think we are just not good enough!

hope we don't meet them in the play offs  ??)

One shot on target all game.

This part time thing means very little from what brad tells me.  He says the only difference is they train less but the matches they play keeps them fit its only preseason were fulltime benefits clubs.  So why has things changed so much since PH got manager of the month.  I just dont know is it the pressure from the fans I just dont know.  Can we win the playoffs you just dont know but if we do it wont be a season I'll remember very well but the only good thing would be that we've finally got out this shitty league.

F***ing sh1te delivery, time and again!!!!!

We've got no chance of getting out of this league with such a dull, negative, and uninspiring manager as Hurst.

We can't score and we can't create chances either, if we want to win the playoffs things need to change dramatically and quickly!!!   :-/

Quoted from bobbyturtle

hope we don't meet them in the play offs  ??)

We'll be lucky to make the playoffs!  :-/

Well that result and performance bodes well for the playoffs (if we do manage to stumble over the line into them).

That sounded flipping awful, zero creativity and no hope of scoring.

As I said in the thread are we good enough we cant rely on the other team scoring :(

The good news is that Braintree and Gateshead have drawn, leaving Braintree 4 points behind us with 3 games left (I think).

Paul will be in the play offs in my view, if he can find an attacking, adventurous team to destroy  Hyde.

I'm not sure where this play off team is coming from though. Hopefully, there is a massive surprise coming.

I'm not holding much hope for Town to be playing league football next season, I can see us making the playoffs still but we can't compete with the top sides at the moment.

Lack of goals is the main worry, We could end up playing Halifax in the playoffs too.

And just our luck hyde claim their 3rd win of the season against us.  Can anyone tell me where they think it went mammaries up.

A win for us on Friday and a Braintree defeat then we will have secured a PO place with two games to go

I'd rather not be in the play offs as I already know what is going to happen if we are

, , , but we all know its going to go down to Braintree away dont we!!??

I agree with this lad on the radio at the minute, he speaks sense!

I think we'll still make it to the play offs, but where is the evidence that we have anything like what it takes to win 3 play-off games against good teams? I'll tell you - it aint f***ing there because we're just not good enough and we've all seen it with our own eyes time after time after time. We're only going to get a certain amount of luck. The writing has been on the wall for a long while. Only some have seen it, but still, there it is.

Very, very disappointing, all too predictable and massively frustrating, to say nothing of the latest BP embarassment of being turned over by a part time club who have assembled a much more effective team than ours with substantially less resource.
