TEAM: Kidderminster v #gtfc - McKeown, Nsiala, Pearson, Parslow, Magnay, Mackreth, Disley, Clay, Brown, Neilson, Hannah.

SUBS: Kidderminster v #gtfc - Bignot, Doig, Oates, Winfarrah, McLaughlin.

So Ross Hannah who spent the entire game getting muscled off the ball at Halifax continues on his own up front. What's the point in signing another striker if he's just going to sit on the bench...?

I'm at the game - Oates may be 6'1 but he's more of a bean pole than a target man. We massively lacked a physical  presence on Tuesday night - many moves broke down because Hannah couldn't hold the ball up.

Playing a 'bigger' striker doesn't mean we have to resort to hoofing it up if Hurst instructs the players to keep it on the deck.

Sounds very 4-5-1 to me  :-/

Paddy must be wondering what he's done wrong...

seems it is a 4-5-1, neilson left and not in the central role like Tuesday.  :-/

Agreed, so annoying. I remember him coming to BP with York in they're promotion season and he looked a class above. I remember actually thinking why can't we find a midfielder like that... Not being played/being played out of position seems such a waste of a player.

I'm at the game. Hurst has got it wrong - we've been very poor. Hannah may as well not be on the pitch - any time the ball goes near him he loses it. Kidderminster look far more threatening.

We played well against Halifax mainly because they couldn't cope with Neilson. He's having an off day so far meaning we look crap.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Similar to what John Tondeur is saying mate.

#GTFC#KIDGRI3:40 PMGrimsby Town FC@officialgtfc40: Neilson does really well on the break and his shot is deflected wide by Gowling for a corner #GTFC #KIDGRI

Its an absolute f***ing disgrace that Town can't take a decent corner. Look at how vital set pieces are in this league and we haven't scored from a single one because our players can't manage this simple skill. It's apalling.

Just got in, dismayed at the treatment of Paddy. Yet another player with talent who is in danger of going off the boil solely due to one mans shite man management. Happened way to often for me.

Quoted from Chrisblor

We played well against Halifax mainly because they couldn't cope with Neilson. He's having an off day so far meaning we look crap.

or hurst has changed it from giving him a free role through the middle on tuesday were he caused all those problems to putting him on the left in a 4-5-1.

Brilliant.

But agreed.

Brown back to corner taking....headed away easily. What do you do all week in training Paul ???

Quoted from RoboCod

Brown back to corner taking....headed away easily. What do you do all week in training Paul ???

Gossip, Drink tea and have manicures?

To much tinkering yet again?
Neillson must play through the middle or in a free role; it's a no brainer

Our set piece delivery is sh*te to be honest - a huge part of lower league football (compensates for lack of open play creativity) so it's nothing short of a scandal how poor we are

0-0 at HT...hopefully PH will see error of his ways and do something to change things around

Paddy very unlucky - again, Disley chosen for his defensive qualities...again, worrying too much about opposition.

Barnet, Halifax and a lot of others above us all winning; although a point at Kiddy is decent it will leave us further behind

Boss, what's that quadrant shape over in the corner of the pitch?

Oh don't you be worrying yourself with that lad, we won't be using it. Biscuit with your cuppa?

I'm running out of descriptive words to explain my disgust at the corners. Amateur stuff.

We can't keep playing 4-5-1 with Hannah as a lone striker. It only worked against Halifax because we kept it on the floor and Neilson had a stormer. The midfield has been very very poor so far today - we've been careless in possession and the less said about our corners the better. Kidderminster have let us off the hook by missing a sitter - we need to make them pay in the second half (McLoughlin needs to come on for the disappointing Disley and Hannah needs a partner to play with him up front)

If he does not give Oates a chance in the second half then its a position wasted IMO, I could sit on the bench

Lincoln 1 down to 'former Town target'  (sigh) Brett Williams goal.

Typical Hurst! Terrified of losing a game. He signs a loan striker and doesn't play him, moves our most effective player onto the flank and keeps another effective midfielder on the bench in favour of one who's past his best! No wonder we haven't had a shot on target yet!

PH should be gone at Christmas if we are not in the playoffs and if it isn't he should f@cking be.

Sometimes when a manager has been at a club for a few years making very little progress then its best to part company for a fresh direction and ideas and to give the fans a break.

I think we all know where PH's weaknesses are.  

If you cant put in a decent corner after several attempts then give it to someone else.  I'm starting to get wound up by his laid back attitude.  Show some f@cking passion hair dryer treatment.

C'mon town

Town first substitution 61 mins is my guess  ;D

Surely we can only improve this 2nd half. :-/

Att 2033 with 373 travelling Mariners.

Well done to all

UTM

I reckon Oates will get about 20 minutes at the end.

I think it has been commented before that we only seem to do well if Neilson is on form. If he's not on his game today, we need somebody else to step up and do something.

48: McKeown alert to claim after a wayward header from Parslow at a home free kick #GTFC#KIDGRI

Not one away goal in the division at this point.

Edit - the wrong G team just scored

You get that feeling if we go one down its curtains

Typical hurst.. aint got a clue.. and if we nick a win it will not be his doing .He is clueless

Plan B please Mr Hurst

Pressure's growing. Dreading the first goal..

Brown is free...poor ball
Hannah holds it up well...then a poor ball

Tondeur's commentary is getting more depressing

Agree re: set pieces - it makes my effing blood boil that at least 90% of delivery either doesn't beat first defender or floats harmlessly into keeper's gloves

Neillson off his game today... the knock he got on Tuesday having an affect??

Kiddy well on top... we are creating nothing

What are you thinking Mr Hurst??

Kidderminster can take corners - we just cleared one off the line. Looked like it was Clay back there.

Time for a change. Let's not wait for them to score/make their change to react...

Bring Paddy and Oates on imo and change the formation.

There's a Kiddy goal coming i fear. The 2nd half has continued in the same way as the 1st.

PH you need to change it mate.

God this is drab.

Quoted from denni266

Typical hurst.. aint got a clue.. and if we nick a win it will not be his doing .He is clueless

IF we nick it! They've had 11 shots to our 4, so who looks likely to win at the moment? We will never get out of this league by trying to scrape results!

Plan B please Mr Hurst

He barely has a plan A never mind a flipping plan b.

Lucky enough to have missed the first half by the sound of it........i am back though now Town....feel free to start playing now..

Errr...... He doesn't have one, have you not been paying attention?  ;-)

JT says its hard work watching this..

so lets see if he asks paul after the match "how the intercourse are you still here"

Is Mackreth carrying a knock? Or just not particularly good? In the past when we've played against him he's been the star, his name seemingly mentioned every 20 seconds as he runs rings round us.

Then he puts a Town shirt on.....

Please tell me this is a joke.

Hurst is obviously scared to death of their pace and ability to break fast
Can I suggest - get your own players to pass better, hold the ball better, and we might give Kiddy somethign to worry about

Tondeur: "Magnay has got players in the box to aim for here...oh, it's a poor ball"

He's a nice guy John. He hasn't got the balls to ask that kind of question even if he wanted to.

A draw is not good enough, we are to far behind as it is . we will go no where with hurst in charge,, I hope Fenty has been looking for his replacement

Painful to listen to as well.

Ross Hannah gets a sight a goal - spanners it off for a goal kick because he had to hit it with his right foot.

Been listening at work. The town fans have done us proud today. The football though sounds atrocious

Re: Hurst
Could be a case of getting a point at Kiddy (hopefully) and then we have 4 very winnable games at home
Lose any one of those (or two) and Fenty might pull the trigger
We are getting too far behind and it's only mid-September
Still feel this squad is stronger than last season - and I know we are missing crucial players - but we don;lt seem to be able to get going at all

We are treading water I'm afraid

Yeah some players he has signed are better without a doubt.  Not getting that striker was a huge mistake regardless of how many targets he had.  His tatics are strange but im not getting into a pissing match I just think we need a stronger character to take us further ive supported him since he came but now ive got no love for PH  and id rather us appoint a new manager with fresh ideas.  Of course I hope we win but I want him gone as im fed up seeing my team play like Histon.

goal OATES..

Doesn't disguise a pretty shoddy performance
But can this lift us and set us on a run???

PH _ stop worrying about opposition so much and set us up to rip into the opposition for God's sake

Need to hang on to win this as results elsewhere couldn't be much worse

OMG!!!! Good on Oates!  ;D

Oates may be just what we need, the approach play to Hannah and JJL has become so stale and predictable, we need someone fresh and even a little raw to mix it up in attack.

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

He's only played half a game ;)

;D

Still want Hurst out the door

Oates is our saviour!

That finish was Oates so simple

The keeper was Quaker-ing in his boots

Got to ditch 4-5-1 whatever the result today
Hannah can't hold ball up well enough

Come on town!!!! Hold on boys!!!

Haha I don't even know what to feel, it's shocking but I've actually mixed feelings. Delighted for the club and Oates, Hurst though is somehow going to get away with it yet again though.

Well done to the new lad , saved Hursts job for another week,

PLEASE....
Mr Hurst appreciate the attacking quality of this team and set us up to win games NOT worry about the opposition so much
We can easily win 5 or 6 on the trot in this league if we go for it

Over to you mate...

I'd settle for a game like this once in a while as long as we find some home form. Kiddy away is a tough game, delighted with those 3 points but would be happier to know we've learnt something today, namely a new setup that doesn't rely on Hannah and won't drop back to the LJL-led front line.
Oates is the (short term loan) FUTURE !! ;D

Quoted from pontoonlew

Haha I don't even know what to feel, it's shocking but I've actually mixed feelings. Delighted for the club and Oates, Hurst though is somehow going to get away with it yet again though.

Got to enjoy 4 points from two difficult away games. Scunny lost again as well! Sounds like we defended well and had a bit of luck for a change

Oates so simple!  ;)

Fantastic result if not an enthralling performance from Town.  It is a difficult place to get something from - very happy with the 3 points today, even if the game sounded pretty drab!

4 Points from 2 very difficult away games (on paper) is a good return by any standards.  Appreciate that we haven't been playing well, but 4 points this week is more than a lot of us would have realistically expected after last Saturdays performance.

Onwards and upwards

Great Win  boys  thanks to some hard work to paper over cracks by poor tactics, good goal by Oates one shot one goal

If...and it's a biggish if..LJL doesn't play next two games and we win them with Oates scoring a couple and Hannah notching then it will be a disgrace if Lenny comes back in when fit (and I'm not a Lenny hater - on balance, I like him)

Got to stick with a winning formula...and stop tinkering

The two players Hurst brought in make a big impact   well,well, well what do we know lol

You really shouldn't complain too much if you take 3 points after playing shite.

Just need to make sure that we stop playing shite in the odd game here and there. We've only been really poor in a couple of games this season, so it's good that we've not lost today. Improvement needed, however.

If only some could see the bigger picture..

I completely agree, we've gained 4 points from two difficult away games and have shown the ability to grind out results. We've got some easier fixtures coming up and with players coming back from injury we can shoot up the table. Our new signings look good and the manager deserves credit for bringing in the match winner today. Glad you can see the bigger picture as well  :)

It's almost as if the guy who has consistently challenged at the top of whichever division he's in knows what he's doing.

4 points from 2 very tricky away games will certainly do for me given the injury situation at the club.

Hope Hurst Starts with Oates in the next game as it sounded like we held the ball up much better up top for the last 15 mins

Really hope if Oates get's a run of goals now we can extend his loan. Sounds like he played good.

Their local radio just laughably said we were played off the park by Kidderminster. Not a strong win by any stretch of the imagination but they were crap!

Quoted from Meza

This might sound really bad but I want us to lose so that clueless clown loses his job.

Clueless eh? Hurst might have his own views on your employment status. Enjoy your evening of misery  :)

Quoted from Hagrid

Still see some people cant be happy but fantastic 3 points ( so what if we played excrement) we won!!!!

I've seen posts like this for 2-3 seasons now, then people scratch their heads when we lose. Wins like this only paper cracks for so long.

Quoted from Cumbrian Mariner

Ha ha

You have a good holiday Meza, when you come back, hopefully, we might be in the play-off spots!

Thanks mate.  I will try and not look out for results but I just know I wont be able to GTFC is in my blood hence why I am so passionate and a little opinionated at times even if im wide off the mark from what others think I just want us to do well.

still its 3 pts against a rival we just need to keep going.

Err I think they might be somewhat biased. Yeah they had the best of things in midfield but we were defensively solid and caused them problems after going 4-3-3. Gash did miss a sitter for them but most of their efforts on target were dealt with comfortably by McKeown.

Hurst on RH now

6 wins in 20 games going back to end of last season  ,is that a big enough picture ?

Haha im happy we won I really am but I just want a change.  Anyway im just hoping when I get back from hols things will improve.  

Anyone want a big fat cuban bringing back....oh haha I mean a cigar.

They must have been taking commentary from John Tondeur then?

A good week for Hurst and the players, well done.

Town had one shot on target according to the BBC.

That's all it takes   :)

Thanks for the Warning !

Three valuable points  :)

I'd hate to lose the the single, solitary strike on our goal, at home, after we've had good possession...oh hang on!

Quoted from jonnyboy82

6 wins in 20 games going back to end of last season  ,is that a big enough picture ?

No not really because it doesn't take into account who we've played and the problems we've had with injuries. You've also just chosen the last 20 games to suit your argument. His win % since taking sole charge is 47% which gives a slightly bigger picture. To get an even bigger picture this is better than any other manger we've had in the past 10 years.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but weren't you on here apologising for your criticisms of Hurst and giving him your backing two weeks ago? You seem to change your mind a lot.

4 points out of 6 away from home, I've not got faith in Hurst, didn't listen but sounds like we played poo?  Hurst brings on someone nobody had heard of upto signing him and grabs a winner away from home with the only shot on target, nothing to grumble about at all.

Take every game as it comes, stranger things have happend, but two results like this away from home can spur a teams confidence on.

I bet the likes of Fleetwood, Mansfield etc had crap games and got thrashed or sneaked a good win, still got promoted... like I say can't grumble at all.

The Torquay game is a thing of the past, fingers crossed we get some players back this week and we push on.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

If only some could see the bigger picture..

yes we won and he lives to fight another day...

We rely on you for your excellent support, far-sighted vision and discerning insights, the rest of us are just plain daft.

If we play crap for 80 minutes and win it 1-0, I suppose we ought to be happy.

Oh well. 3 points is 3 points. Time will tell.

"Supporters' " forum?

Good 3 points today.

Great result that! Fair play to PH delivered 2 good results when the pressure was on. Roll on Saturday!

Just got back, we created very little and could easily have lost and yes their keeper did not have to make a save. Oates knows where the goal is excellent turn and finish, but v unfit, could hardly run in the last 5 mins. I also laughed when there commentator said they played us off the park. Apart from Gash missing an open goal just before half time, the only pressure we were under was the last 10 mins with them just slinging it into the box from all angles to there big centre forwards/midfielders. Ref was typically rubbish made a lot of wrong decisions throughout the game for and against us.
Still we did what other teams seem to do to us so often get the goal with vitrtually there only chance. MOM Magnay again, Disley weakest link Im afraid, he did not play badly but just did not impose himself on the game at all unlike Clay who worked his socks off again.

Good result from a scrappy game will do. More worried by his interview admitting he thought about changing things but didn't and the pointless dig at the doubters. You want to shut up the doubters Paul? Put out a team to win and stop playing to stop others and then deliver something special.

sounded awful on the radio , that goes for both sides . Doesn't detract from the fact , even though we won ,  playing high long balls for Hannah , corners with school boy errors , appalling passing  . Well done for all the travelling supporters

But he did have to take it out the back of the net. Well done town. Bring on Chester.  UTM.

Interesting and irritating to read the comments on Disley. Favoured over McLaughlin, who's been playing really well although out of position,what has Disley actually done to merit being selected for the last 3 games? That midfield 3 should be Brown, Clay and Paddy and I think  that's glaringly obvious, surely?

I really don't understand why Hurst perpetually finds it easy to drop Paddy. He's superior in almost every aspect IMO and his record would suggest he'd score just as many goals if not more. At least then we'd have a player in there to make the opposition think about stopping us. A skilful player with energy, pace, passing and goal scoring ability, box to box movement, and who will also run at defenders. Plus, you've got his set pieces. I just don't get it. I can't see how we can expect to hold on to Paddy if he's continuously being left out or dropped, even when playing well.

Lol

Can Paddy take a good corner ?

Probably, so another bonus. A little dismayed to see him not get a chance while John Lewis is missing too as this seems to have been the best opportunity to get it on the deck in recent time, please let's not start lumping it on his return.

Rio Ferdinand said Moyes failed at Man Ure because he over planned the tatics, we had 3 different options in a match depending on what the opposition was doing.

Fergie on the other hand kept things simple and said let the opposition worry about what we are doing,

Good advice, are you reading this Paul ?

Quoted from RoboCod

Can Paddy take a good corner ?

Nope. Nobody in black and white stripes can take a corner.

I don't suppose Paddy is any worse than the others though.

Need to work on set pieces like corners with Oats height and strength even more so.

He is our best corner taker imo, being serious with that aswell.

A magnificent result but a debatable performance in my opinion
However a gritty and determined performance.
Kidderminster got down our flanks on far too mny occasions and
Should really have scored a couple of times
They will be thinking that they got robbed today.
This is an invaluable 3 points keeping us in touch with the high fliers.
Two home matches and two beatable teams.
I hope this is a springboard to better things.
Maybe this season is an inverse of the last two and we will be magnificent after Christmas!

Forgot to mention... Our corner taking is absolutely woeful!
We even had a free kick ten yards in from the corner and still could not get it past the first man.
This needs addressing urgently.
Corners and set pieces in training please Mr Hurst!!!!

Rio Ferdinand is an absolute clown. A decent enough defender back in the day, but injury-prone for the past few years and prone to day-dreaming during games. I half-watched the QPR game earlier and he was at fault for both of Stoke's goals.

The fact that he was interviewed on Football Focus the other week and seriously claimed that the lack of success for England during the era of the 'Golden Generation' was entirely down to failures of the management show his complete lack of awareness. No idea that he (along with his mates) simply weren't nearly good enough and without the nous to realise their (many) fallibilities.

Not really relevant to anything about today's game against Kiddy, but I had to note what a buffoon I think Ferdinand is!
