Cmon Town good display today please

Starting with 10 men again

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Starting with 10 men again

Suspect you mean Woolford, but DJ hasn't set the world alight has he?

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Starting with 10 men again

Which one of our players are you having a go at before the game starts?

Quoted from ginnywings

Suspect you mean Woolford, but DJ hasn't set the world alight has he?

He may mean Jones, he’s been anonymous recently

The one whos done nothing for us since his first couple of games, work it out  ;D
As always I hope he has an oustanding game but from previous appearances the odds are slim

JF and RS will be hoping for a win,  the fickle fans will be excited about the posibility of making the playoff places again instead of calling for their heads lol.

Much needed win please

UTM

So where is the online commentary???

Anyone else getting Hull commentary?

Very jaunty music

Fucking Ellison  :o

Good grief..(bored)

wow

Slade Out. It was probably a foul but thats not excuse to just stop and stand around you play to the flipping whistle!

Surprised you lot aren’t calling the keeper

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Surprised you lot aren’t calling the keeper

The keeper has my every sympathy.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Surprised you lot aren’t calling the keeper

He was left completely in no mans land then all the sympathy

FFS.....

A Sunday League defence would have done a better job at preventing that goal. No blame on Kean, it was disgustingly lazy from the players in front of him to let Ellison have a free header, in about 10 yards of space, in the middle of the penalty area.

Keeper should have come out to collect it.

Their no 11 now winding up the Town fans.

Thought we should've got a free kick leading up to their goal.

Sat infront of a nice warm fire listening to the radio, and as John Tondeur has now commented we need to score 2 now, well that's another loss then. Slade out.

You all want Slade out, who F**k do we bring in who we can afford seriously? You can see Slade building something here okay yeah it’s not pretty at this moment in time but am pretty sure it will

Quoted from davmariner

Give over. Was never a ball you could expect a keeper to collect.

Thanks for posting, looks like a foul but criminal defending in the box. Pontoon looks very sparsely populated

Quoted from OllieGTFC

What? We're into the 2nd half of the season, we have a goal difference right now of minus NINE, fans are staying away in droves and the board are a shambles and YOU feel like you should vent your spleen at people being unhappy about it?

Quoted from OllieGTFC

The only thing Slade is building is resentment

Shambles at the back again . No foul on mills , their player just wanted it more .

Quoted from OllieGTFC

You can see Slade is building something??? I certainly can't it just looks like a disorganised mess desperately trying not toose and hope to pinch a goal.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

He'd better be fucking quick then as our defence has a combined age of 131. Seriously, what is he building?!

Too many of you still live in the 80s like my old man time to come to reality

You don't build anything bringing in old players!

Im certaiy not living in the 80s I wasn't born till 89. I can not see a single positive out of the squad Slade has built except for the money we will hopefully make when we have to sell Dembele.

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis

You don't build anything bringing in old players!

Don’t need experience then ?

25 minutes on the clock and no saves required from their keeper.
I like to see their keeper tested, even better to see him pick the ball out of the net but then I'm living in the Eighties (w00t)

Too slow
No creativity
Too much hoof
No tactics
Too many players past it
Too many players on 2 year deals that are poor slades fault.

At least the ref seems semi decebt except.maybe not calling a possible foul before their goal. Still not deciddd on first viewing if it was a goal or just out muscling.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Don’t need experience then ?

26-27 year olds have experience, not players who are in their last season.

To think back.. JF was cocky as fook when he appointed Slade. Like he was pulling off a masterstroke. Deluded..

11 men defending and they still scored intercourse off Slade

Blimey...!!

2-0 keeper just palmed it back into the danger area

Just gone for a p1ss after the 2nd goal noticed that the non chairman is nowhere to be seen

This is going to be one hell of a half time flip chart.

Ok you can probably blame this one on the keeper

https://twitter.com/cj11tt/status/949668604043255809

FFS.....

Well if Slade isn't sacked after this shambles then I reckon it'll be down to 2,000 or less next home game.

Another appalling goal to concede

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

2-0 keeper just palmed it back into the danger area

From a corner though. If Slade had one attribute before it was that we defended well at high balls and also used set pieces such as corners to our advantage. That's in reverse now, as is every other aspect of Slades management.

You’re getting sacked slade and Wilkinson

Thats it for me. Go. Please go

This isn't  funny anymore (not that it was) but it's getting scary now.

Their keeper may as well go for a cup of tea.

Quoted from Chrisblor

https://twitter.com/cj11tt/status/949668604043255809

Honestly, that could have been given as a foul I reckon, their guy has his arm right across Keans throat.

It never rains...

Give your fookin head a shake 😂😂😂😂😂

We've seen body language like this from a team before. How did that uncannily similar team from 2009/2010 get on?

Quoted from Badger57

What's the crowd today???

Quoted from TAGG

What's the crowd today???

Hasn't been announced yet, but from the pictures I've seen on twitter I'd be amazed if it's much over 3000. Empty seats everywhere (including mine)

First goal certainly a foul on Mills for me - has his arm across his body stopping him going for the ball. After that blame on both defence for leaving Ellison in acres of space in the middle of the box and the keeper who I thought could have got the ball if he'd come for it.

Second one elementary error by the keeper - just tip it over if in doubt. We've been dismal in attack. Slow, no link-up between the players. Might as well not bother with wingers as neither is doing anything and we're losing midfield against 3 in the middle.

We've been shite but should be level without the stupid errors.

I don't want Fenty to sack Slade.

Slade has got to go..

But I don't want Fenty to make another single decision for this club..

Look at the state of it all..

One man and his dog in the Pontoon..

What the fook have we become..

15 years to build this..

We've seen form like this too from back then: D L D L L (L?)

In fairness we probably did draw a few more under Woodsy :-/

Whose fault is it this time Slade?? The referee? The weather? Mother Nature? Slade out!

Just seen some town fans going down past my street , away from the ground. Is this what we have come to . Think i made the right choice not to go again untill slade and co has gone.. what a shambles

Its not like this hasn't been coming for months . Anyone who supported this regime needs to have a look at them selves and wonder if they have let the club down . I have only been to the Coventry game and I saw what I needed to see it that one game .

Well that’s a first I’ve heard teams booed off but never booed on?

"Matt holds the ball up and feeds the ball to Dembele. Dembele crosses early into the box but there are no Town players even in there. More groans around the ground"

This and no attempts on goal on the 1st half....I do not believe this team are playing for their manager. Something's off, I expect a senior player or two to make a statement by Monday denying there's any dressing room unrest,

That pontoon looks very empty! Looks to me like a lot of season ticket holders aren’t turning up to games either?

I’m sat at home in the warm, soccer Saturday on, nice warm brew and listening to the game. Really lost all interest in turning up to BP anymore and I was one of the ones that was happy when Slade came back  :B

Dembele isn't strong enough for league 2 in my opinion.

That's not saying he wouldn't do well higher up in the pyramid.

Bring on the red crosses.

Quoted from promotion plaice

.

Hopefully he will shine for us in the Conference next season

We've had 2 shots on target things are looking up  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Been to a few matches this season and haven't seen town score in any of them. Didn't go to the match today but seems like it wouldn't have helped anyway.  :(

Oh well I guess that is Slade gone. 1 down 1 to go?

Think I'll get myself an allotment for something to do on a Saturday afternoon, be able to whatch the runner beans grow, still be faster than our forwards.

He'd do well in a good team. This is an average at their best L2 team in very poor form.

What's been happening to Asante? Surely he can't be worse than the current strike force?

Dembele is playing to basic instructions, that's obvious and a shame. His development will explode under a modern, positive thinking manager.

He might not be at Town when that happens though.

I was looking forward to seeing Town at Colchester in a couple of weeks but I think I'll give it a miss - it could be more embarrassing than last season.

Morecambe are often just passing the ball around with ease and their fans are loving it in the away end and are greeting each pass with an ‘Ole’

Town fans have paid good money to suffer this (censored)

To anyone who's there today, what is Slade doing at this moment, is he sat on his hands looking lost or is he standing up in his technical area giving instructions/ cajoling etc.

please make it stop

What's the realistic outcome on Monday morning?

Quoted from Gaffer58

Watching runner beans rather than watching has-beens!

He spends all his time. Talking to other coaches or pacing on the spot in the technical area.

I always try and see the positives, but this is looking like a terminal decline

I can't imagine there are many left inside BP.... this really is not good enough... totally unacceptable....

Shock substituation as Vernon replaces Matt.

At least he’s got one talent, not everyone can pace on the spot

Come on Scott - give us a goal  - pleeeaase! You know you're due.

Att 3104  :-/


** 50 (very happy) away fans **

I’ve lost all interest now, I won’t be going back to BP until things change drastically, it’s not the losing it’s the way we are being run from top to bottom, I’ve had all the enthusiasm sucked out of me.

Thought we had an All time  low after Accrington
But no, it’s today
Seems at the moment without change there is no lower limit set to how low we can go, perform, or look poor.
Now that is frightening as no one has a right to be in this league and not sure if I can stand conference again as we won’t come back
If May 16 was the best for been a town fan then Jan 18 is the absolute worse
How can we have got it so wrong in such a short time
Bristol R and Lincoln seem to have bottled the momentum to there advantage where we seem to have let it run through our fingers
Sad Day

Quoted from Father Christmas

At least he’s got one talent, not everyone can pace on the spot

Oh I don't know, almost the whole team look to be wading through treacle out on the pitch.

pleased I stayed away, as it is very painful to watch rubbish

How can we go from  the optimism of 'operation promotion' to this state of affairs

JF needs to take a long look in the mirror

Quoted from sydney

Bristol R and Lincoln seem to have bottled the momentum to there advantage where we seem to have let it run through our fingers

They kept the nucleous of the same squad. Losing Hurst didn't help us but also good managerial appointments did help them.

I blame Hurst for starting that, Bignob and the infant schoolteacher have just carried it on signing crap to replace the excellent basis for a Div 4 squad that Hurst dismantled.

How low are you going to let us go Mr. Fenty?

Bye bye Fenty and Slade, I won’t be back until one or both of you are gone! Unfortunately I don’t see this happening for a long time so I guess it could be a long time away from BP

Quoted from Ipswin

I blame Hurst for starting that, Bignob and the infant schoolteacher have just carried it on signing crap to replace the excellent basis for a Div 4 squad that Hurst dismantled.

I remember standing in a packed away end end witnessing a great away performance and win at Cambridge in one of his final games so I don't agree with that.

For me it's a combination of dreadful football lacking in any semblance of entertainment combined with the contempt the board clearly hold the support in. I considered a 160 mile round trip with my football obsessed 4 year old for about 3 seconds before thinking 'why the intercourse would I want to inflict that on us'?

A 4-1 win for Cheltenham away and our dire goal difference means that Cheltenham now go above us.
Cheltenham! After their shaky start. 1 goal in 6 for us.

Let's knock this whole 'building things' lie that Slade was allowed to get away with on the head. Stats don't lie, this is not progression, we've gone backward. If Bignot was found out then Slade surely has.

Bye Slade, please DO let the door smack your ar$e on the way out.

Town have amassed 34 points this season and probably need around 50 points to avoid relegation.

Doesn't seem like a tall order to get 16 more points from the remaining 19 games

- but why is this team seriously lacking in the ability to complete (what is now) the escape?

How was 34 points achieved but now, there appears likelihood that not many more points can be achieved - (with the current run of form)?

The people controlling GTFC, I am sure, will be aware of this issue and will not be complacent in making sure that Football League status is achieved at the end of the season.

Let's not forget, 2 years ago we would have taken the position we are in now.

But to throw away all of the past great work to re-gain Football League status would be  - aaghh - can't think of a bad enough word!

Finally we had a 20 min spell where we got a bit of pressure on, (compared to most games)  then Slade brings on JJ then Vernon and what little threat we had disappeared immediately. Finally a not like for like sub with 5 mins or so left.
Was always against Sladeball coming back and not changed my mind at any point since. :(

We actually played some reasonable football during the first 25 or so minutes of the second half. Passing, movement, all that sort of crazy stuff we don't tend to see. Unfortunately, they defended well, cleared one off the line and their keeper made an excellent save. Our decent football wasn't enough to overcome the complete lack of a goal threat from our strikers and subs.

Their number 9 today had more strength, pace and athleticism than all our forwards combined. Wish he played for us, though he wasn't much of a goal threat himself.

This must be a first.
