BBC Live Event 12 on the Tune-In app for those of us 'stuck' in far flung places such as Antigua and unable to get to the match.

John Tondeur has tweeted that Carl Magnay is at the ground, so presumably will start.

Come on Town. Utm

Scott Neilson and Carl Magnay start; Jack Macreth and Scott Brown drop to the bench.

Come On Town!!!!! Lets do this

C´mon Town!!!! MAAARRRIIIINERS!!

Woking lost at home.....

good stuff, , ,Woking could drop out of top 5 today

UTM from Beijing, I like Neilson starting :-)

lively start

Power playing after having his red card rescinded. Fear he might have a crucial impact today!

Come on town lets do this and end year in style

Quoted from Belfast Town

Power playing after having his red card rescinded. Fear he might have a crucial impact today!

Go Dover!Go Dover!Go Dover!Go Dover!Go Dover!Go Dover!Go Dover!Go Dover!

Magney looks to be carrying a knock, hope he can shake it off.

2-0 Dover!!!?!!?! Come on Town! make this count

Dover 2 up at Barnet, is this the collapse?

If anyone is at the game and reading this firstly WHY? and secondly could you upload a photo of the home ends? :D I miss Blundell Park, especially a packed out park

Dover having a right good go!! Still early days

Loving it at the moment, let's hope they keep it going!

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzer

dizzzzzzzzza

Alan Buckley just said that Lincoln had a really good opening passage.....and then Dizza scores :-)

dizzzzzzzzza

DISLEY!!!!!!!!

KING DIZZA!

2-0 Dover!!!!

But my main point was that Alan Buckley said that "Lincoln have had a really good opening passage" which is a horrible image.....

Get in there

well done to ref for letting play go on with Nielson down , , , , watch Lincoln get dirty now

Get in

He's just a rascal , disley rascal
He's just a rascal, disley rascal
Get in town.

good stuff Town, , , another before half time be perfect

i cannot stand listening to AB, he is a ****er, so negative.

oh dear

JT isnt all that, , , ,aw FFS

boo

balderdash.

Oh no...

We are in for an interesting 2nd half

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

We are in for an interesting 2nd half

yes we are, but we will boss it

Brizzle leading Macc 1-0

seemed to be doing well for the second period of the first half....but we are at home, and therein lies the problem


shocking

oh, oh

Quoted from BeijingMariner

yes we are, but we will boss it

you sure?

What is going on ffs!

Ffs

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

you sure?

Need to come from behind, , , ,Can we do it?????

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

Need to come from behind, , , ,Can we do it?????

yes, I am, yes, we can

the point of saying no we can't is what, exactly?

defo not a deserved HT lead from Lincoln, , but they have took their chances , , , anyone at game ???

felicitations sake town . What a chance to close the gap on Barnet with them 2 down at home to Dover . All to do now . Can't see anything better than a point now .

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

Lincoln can score two goals in 3 minutes and we can't? come on........really?

2 good goals to be fair to Lincoln. Highly frustrating though!

Quoted from BeijingMariner

Lincoln can score two goals in 3 minutes and we can't? come on........really?

Highly unlikely mate

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

Highly unlikely mate

I completely and utterly disagree

Barnet pulled one back immediately, this is the most important game of the season so far

for christ sake our defending is a joke

I take it Nielson got injured after being subbed after 26 mins....and the same with Magnay.  They have had 7 shots 5 on target compared to us 7 & 1

another shocking dead ball delivery......do we ever practice these? it would appear not

Quoted from Meza

I take it Nielson got injured after being subbed after 26 mins....and the same with Magnay.  They have had 7 shots 5 on target compared to us 7 & 1

yes Meza, both picked up knocks relatively early

crowd sounds positive, we can do this.....

come on town, come on

oh dear what the hell is going on...

pleeeeeeease town, pleeeeeease

it doesn't sound like it makes sense but I am going to say town 3 lincoln 2

Brizzle 2 up at home against Macc

game over

apalling performance

is that the lincoln fans i can hear?

Quoted from BeijingMariner

it doesn't sound like it makes sense but I am going to say town 3 lincoln 2

certainly doesnt make sense now....4-3 anybody?

lucky to have only let in 3.......................

7126 fans and town as usual put in a performance of the lowest order no wonder fans are very anti at home.  No good but im not at the game so it maybe a diff story.

Ooh, Town blow it big style in front of a big crowd. THAT's never happened before has it?
Oh, wait..........

Same old same old . Bottlers when the big performance required at home . No fookin way this lot are going up . BP Vicar was right with his p.issed up thoughts on Boxing night .

It's difficult to understand why this guy is still in work, it really is.  Paul Hurst will NEVER get this club promoted.  Another year of golf for me!

Barnet now level with Dover, ok, I give up, we are not good enough

Brizzle 4 up against Macc

Eastleigh are more worrying.

what is it now 20 points dropped at home?

garbage at home, Hirst has to go, clueless inept, tactically weak, and spineless

Looks like from the team set up, there is only one recognised central defender. Is Doig injured or has he retired? Seems like we are carrying too many people with injuries - presumably Scott Brown is injured, otherwise he would be first pick in midfield?

Looks like fit players needed in transfer window.  

Bristol Rovers and Barnet looking strong.

Je suis tellement putain, déprimé, en colère, c'est de la merde, juste une performance de merde, putain de marquer un but pour l'amour de la baise

Say what you like about Rob Scott, and I was no fan of his but he had something that made Grimsby stand up to basic teams like Lincoln. I decided at the seasons start to judge Town on their performances against them, I went to SB for the first encounter and I'm still angry about the powder puff display we put in agains them. This is the final judgement for me, we're a bunch of chokers, bottles, always outrun in midfield , and we'll do exactly the same thing in the play-offs IF we reach them. 2-1 down at H/T to a team with te useless Power, Marshall and f*****g MENDY !!

Will our esteemed leader put in a #righteous showing on the Fishy tonight? Because we either act now or let another season fizzle out to an end and do it all again next year.
No guts, no grit, no care (other than Magnay) about the crowd turning out and watching the usual predictable rubbish. Couldn't bring myself to get to Gy for this game, thank goodness, and after 35 years of watching them I can't see what will spark me into wanting to go anymore.

an utter disgrace, the home performances are a disgrace, beaten by a nothing side miles better than Town.....

get him out

Chester beating Halifax, Dover drawing with Barnet, Eastleigh scoring 5 against Braintree.....I suppose this is Conference football..........i am hoping that is really is as mad and as random as this and we can do something better when Macc arrive, but really, what a pile of poop

Quoted from BeijingMariner

.i am hoping that is really is as mad and as random

A pub team like Lincoln getting the double over us, scoring 5 goals in the process is not random.

Unfortunately Town manage to get a good crowd in league , positivity among doubters/ part timers and fail to turn up. AGAIN

Quoted from RoboCod

A pub team like Lincoln getting the double over us, scoring 5 goals in the process is not random.

but is it random when we win? I mean, can both be true at the same time? random wins but predictable losses? really, I am confused......by Town I mean, by Conference football, not by your statement

I think it is random when we win. From what I hear from the Macc game they were poor and we rode our luck. We're gutless, will always choke the big games i.e when the opposition have everything to play for (like a play off)  and we somehow seem to forget what it all really means and end up giving an insipid display. We're a just-about above average team in a hopeless league, I know for sure had we gone 2 down at home to Dover like Barnet did we'd have lost.

Let's see what the Just Backers say. Buckley and Tondeur weren't that critical (at least 2nd half - slept through first half). It sounds like we created quite a lot of chances but hit them at the keeper. Obviously unlucky to lose Magnay and Neilson (but why wasn't Mackreth on from the start? Was it some tactical adjustment to cope with Lincoln?)

Overall this one result doesn't change my opinion. I said we weren't good enough (with Hurst in charge) to go up and this doesn't change it.  ;)

Lewis, Pearson and Disley played well, a good chance to gain on Barnet gone begging again today! :-/

I don't think it's random when we win. It's just that when we get a goal first and the opposition don't take their chances we win. Not through playing well, but through being competent. It's not enough though to win promotion.

Absolutely disgusting performance. Gutless and inept.

How many that turned up today will return on New Years Day to see us draw 0-0 with Macclesfield.?

of course i know what you mean...are we always gutless or just really gutless when we are gutless? i know it's a changed team but last season's FA Cup performances against Scunts, Northampton and Huddersfield were all great....this years team is better on paper.......why are Barnet more consistent this year? Why were Luton more consistent last year? Because it is absolutely consistency that gets teams out of this shizzlehole league, right? I mean, being consistently good :-0

Quoted from RoboCod

4th is pretty good for a just about above average team. Maybe we have a good manager?

Maybe, or It's possibly just random when we score. God knows we create enough chances.

Hurst has shown once again how to lose any new fans that turn up for the big games , there will be less than half that attendance there on New Years day now.
We will not get promoted with him in charge , are we happy to limp into the play offs and get stuffed again by a more hungry organised team ?

Is the long and the short of it :B

Quoted from Vance Warner

4th is about right in a hopeless league, surely? We have qualities, we have enough to make the top 5 easily. But not first position and nothing on the day when the crowds turn up. Buckley's teams NEVER let us down in local derbies, that's what we need to aspire to. I see nothing personally to suggest that will happen under Hurst.

What's to say that we actually end up in the play offs?

Quoted from grimsby pete

I'll turn up, I don't not go because of one performance

Quoted from Vance Warner

4th is pretty good for a just about above average team. Maybe we have a good manager?

Mainly because we pick up points from boring games away from home,

We have lost twice as many home games than away,

What do you have to say to that ?

It doesn't take much for a good side (at this standard) to be knocked out of 'synch' with injuries - and I think that is what happened today. (Sounds like Magnay may have been struggling before Lincolns first 2 goals went in) - but went off at half time. This in addition to an already depleted defence.

What is now important is how the club respond to those circumstances in the next few games.

Quoted from Vance Warner

4th is pretty good for a just about above average team. Maybe we have a good manager?

Its non league mate please bear that in mind our local rivals over the river are north bastarrd ferriby 4

7,1OO TURNED UP TODAY Mostly town fans and we were beaten by a mid table side who looked like they wanted it a lot more. This team lacks belief ffs if you don't like playing in front of crowds sodomist off and make room for people with ambition. >:(

Said exactly the same word for word at the game.

Lincoln have put 6 past us by the way, not 5.

That much I will accept.

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

I'll turn up, I don't not go because of one performance

I won't turn up...... because of repeated negative clueless performances.

Until they scored, they looked more average than us. One factor not mentioned before now was Dizzas booking which meant he could not be as aggressive as earlier in CM. An edge was clearly lost after this. Bottom line is, they defended much better than us at critical times. Crowd excellent, ref very good too. Shame too many of our players weren't. Parslow, Thomas and Clay well below par.

The Disley point is excellent. It is not Clay's game to be that aggressive and it surrendered control of the centre of midfield to Lincoln.
