Grimsby Town FC ‏@officialgtfc  26s
#GTFC starting XI v Torquay United: McKeown; Bignot, Nsiala, Pearson, Magnay; Brown, Disley, McLaughlin, Neilson; Pittman, John-Lewis

Disley again? Hope Hurst doesn't play the same dire formation as first half against Lincoln and Disley is hopefully just a straight swop for Clay.  

Anyone know what bbc live event on Tunein app today is?

Just posted it mate. Live event 13

Looks like 4-3-1-2

Cheers mate thanks a lot

Sat in Hathersage today so will miss commentary unfortunately.

C,Mon Town.

Just looking at the other fixtures today, why do I expect the other teams near the top to win comfortably against struggling sides but never feel the same with Town. :(

Not sure that we're playing a struggling side today!

Pitmann :(

Pittman, injured and subbed, hope it's not a long term injury as he has been influential so far this season.

HANNAH on his his place, come on Ross let's have a goal again today!

Joe Ironsides cores for alfreton as does Damian reeves for alti

Didnt mean us today really, just looked at who Barnet, Woking and Gateshead are playing

B0LL0CKS

GIMPS 0-1 down at home to Brizzle rovers

FGR 1 - 0 Halifax

Come on town

Same old excrement different season

Tepid stuff. Still unable to take routine corners.  :-/

Brown can't take a good corner, can someone else please have a go!

Professionals who can't take a decent corner should be fined/shot/b0ll0cked. It's unforgivable.

Can't say that the way things are going are a shock, or not a familiar old story.  :(

Gary harkins , one of the biggest disappointments to turn out at bp, scores for Dundee immediately followed by equaliser by the prolific Michael Antonine curier

Our solid defence isn't looking that solid at the moment

Struggling to string passes together at the moment, the pressing game has disappeared and the midfield sounds almost non-existent!


Come on Town, get Neislon in the game

Agreed, just what happens at this club for a new and particularly well rated player like Brown to just become shite at taking corners?
They sound rather ordinary but organised, which is just about enough to see you get 3 points at BP.

Pittman's injury doesn't look good, he's currently sat on the floor with an ice pack wrapped around his knee. Hope it's not as bad as it looks as he deserves a bit of luck for once.

We need a pacy partner for the shop getting quickly!

Arseholes!

2-0 :-/

FFS what the intercourse is going on the last few games

game and season over

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

FFS what the intercourse is going on the last few games

Disley returns to the midfield

0-2 what is going on?  Get it sorted Hurst

We don't sound prepared for this, fair enough Pittman's had to go off, but we haven't strung a dozen passes together yet.  

Keep the bloody ball and pass it, when we don't have it press!

UTM

Sounds more like defences lapses to me. Tondeur's mentioned mistakes by the other midfielders and defenders but not Disley.

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

game and season over

Great to see you back Bruce.bet you're poised with your hurst must go thread. You must've been soooo miserable when we won those games over august bank holiday

big problems at the centre of defence being exposed, niether of these 2 are good enough Im afraid

It's not just Disley, though he looked laboured at Lincoln, but the whole setup. No urgency, no excitement if we get a corner because they're awful, nothing.
Apart from sloppy, poor football that invites the opposition on, it's BORING.

Utter sh!t. Second best at home to a rival shows you where we are, truly. And utterly predictable.

No mistakes from Disley as he hasn't touched the ball judging from the commentary

I think he was hoping it wasn't going to be the flash in the pan it was.

Quoted from forza ivano

Pretty sure the 'Season over' quote was in his clipboard, awaiting a Ctrl-V paste..

just being realistic, all the better sides ahead of us....and we are getting well beaten by a better side with better players

Shop has a good shot turned away by Torquay keeper, good link up play hy Magnay.

UTM

Get boyce back.........

Total shite - defence is all over the place. Disley and Hannah may as well not be on the pitch for all they've contributed so far. Not one player is performing adequately.

halt time 0 - 2.

Poor first half overall by Town.  Sounds as though they started ok but when PITTMAN had to go off injured after 11 minutes, Torquay then have done enough to earn the lead.

We sound defunct of ideas in midfield, starving NEILSON and the forwards of any real chances to get back in the game.  The defence, with the exception of Carl MAGNAY, sound un-decisive and very shaky.

Come on Town, the results are going in our favour lets concentrate on winning at home and let the opposition worry about stopping us and not vice versa.  Torquay are having some decent results but what has happened to the pressing game and using our own width.

Second half, let's get back into the game and show some pride.

UTM

I wouldn't say we started 'ok', we should be out of the blocks and attacking these teams at home, instead we fumble around finding our pace at out leisure....Hurst CANNOT get a team to play quick, urgent football and close teams down. The usual reactionary action, waiting until the game has gone until big changes are made*.

*Probably with 5 minutes left on the clock.

I expect we'll see the give him till Xmas , then give him till Easter then we might as well keep him till the end of the season . Before you know it in another year closer to death and my teams stuck in the league at least another year

Craig CLAY must by chomping at the bit to get on - sounds as though we need to swap him with Paddy Mc

UTM

Att 3,300 - 103 from Torquay

UTM

Scunts 1 up and Lincoln got it back to 2-2.happy days :(

The in your face tactic we played to such success has just gone out of the window and  the hoof down the pitch has returned. This has happened with the return of this formation with Disley in the team. Not having a go at the player. Just questioning the tactics.  :(

We need Diz off for Clay. The reason Brown not playing so well is Diz takes up his space in midfield so you need Clay on to do the ugly stuff so Brown can do his thing. Started with a little more fight 2nd half but still crap. Hurst out

Town subs:

Mackreth and Clay coming on for Paddy Mc and Disley

Good save by their keeper from Toto's header

It's taken Paul 60 minutes to figure that out. :-/

9 games in and we're ten points off the pace, not good enough

Quoted from forza ivano

Have just done a Michael Antoine curler.............don't go in the hole in the wall pub in Torquay for a while!

LJL doesn't look like can carry on

Im only allowed to say that we are brilliant . playing well  and all is ok  ,  i dont want to be shot down again for teaal ing it as it realy is

another injury prone weakling

Make that 12points

Quoted from wycombemariner

Make that 12points

thats it.....over by the end of September im afraid

You're not on here after we've been brilliant.

Jamie de itt scores for morecambe

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

thats it.....over by the end of September im afraid

was over before the season started with hurst still here

end of the season cannot come quick enough

Not getting the breaks today, but without a win at Halifax next home game will see another 300 shaved off the home crowd

Taxi for Hurst.. been waiting at the gates since april

I'm really trying not to be negative, but personally I think he has to go unless we go on some running spree. Which I can't see

Quoted from DaleGTFC

Running spree?  That's JP and John Lewis out then.

Don't know what to say really - disappointed with the result is an under statement as I want us to win every game!

For me, personally, we seem to have lost the pressing game and as a result our momentum has gone.  Injuries aren't helping but feel that Clay should have started the game as he gives Brown a bit of freedom to play his game also feel that Neilson is better on the left than the right.  

Defence at the moment seems shaky, don't seem as solid since Boyce was recalled by the Scunts.

Midfield in the first half sounded non existent for the majority of the time, admittedly this only is an opinion from listening to the commentary.  After the subs in the second half it sounded better and more balanced.

Forwards - 2 off injured today worries me and makes me wonder if a system can be found to suit Hannah, I don't think him up-front alone is viable.  A loan signing or will Arnold be available?

6 Points off the play offs but only 6 points from the bottom 4, let's not think about top of the table at the moment.  The season is not over for us but we need to beating teams around us at Blundell Park to keep in touch with the play off pack.

Keep the faith!

Hurst lost us the game with the team selection, Disley was non-existant I'll go as far as to say he's past it, We looked a different side when Clay came on, along with Makreth.

That was garbage. Players and manager both awful. Only player to come out of that with any credit was Magnay.

Those of you slagging Jonny and Denny a couple of weeks ago...off you need to get a grip.
Two freak results do not make a season.
We are a Very poor football team packed with VERY good players.
The whole of the responsibility lies with the Manager.
Get rid of him and get someone with some idea of how to dominate, attack and match sides such as Torquay.
Get rid of him now to give us a chance to get back in the promotion hunt.
Why was he kept after two seasons of shocking football and failure anyway.
Hurst out NOW!!!!
That performance today was AWFUL!!!

Some guy sat next to me said "well Torquay are a good team"
If that kind of mentality is in our players well we will win nothing.
I am sick of admiring other teams.
We need to be the best team in the division!!!
