No wonder they wanted the game on:

[tweet]969937852191662080[/tweet]

intercourse me what a shite lineup. Dembele, Hall-Johnson, Suliman & Vernam (christ I originally wrote Vernon here!!) should all be in the team. Dixon and Clarke shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11. Wilko really hasn't got a clue.

Carlisle around evens

After Clarke and Berretts showing last week how on earth are they in the team. Dixon also. I just don’t get it.......

Is Harry Clifton injured or is it deemed too cold for him?

Well if Clifton isn’t injured the new philosophy of giving youth a chance lasted about 18 hours.

How the hell Berret keeps his place I’ll never know.

Wilco Out!😉

433? - with Cardwell and DJ either side of Matt?

Hope so. Otherwise it's a 442 with a square peg in a round hole (Berrett out wide).

Where is Clifton and what the intercourse is that midfield. WOW. Remember guys today is not about the new manager so when we lose don't get on his back.

Clifton is injured.

Clifton not picked, I’m really annoyed now. Wilkinson can do one for me.

Sorry to say that's another game in the losing run, More work for the new gaffer to put right.

Still sticking with that dynamic midfield of Summerfield and Berrett, who are 2/3rds of the way to taking another team to relegation.

Quoted from ginnywings

Still sticking with that dynamic midfield of Summerfield and Berrett, who are 2/3rds of the way to taking another team to relegation.

Summerfield is ok as a headless chicken-type disrupter, needs a proper footballer alongside him.

More to the point where is Mcallister?

Clifton injured, fair enough I didn’t know that. No excuses for some of the other exclusions. Vernam, is he carrying an injury?

Quoted from ginnywings

Still sticking with that dynamic midfield of Summerfield and Berrett, who are 2/3rds of the way to taking another team to relegation.

Let's be slightly more objective, you can hardly call any of what's played in front of them dynamic either. Iniesta and Xavi would struggle to provide for Vernon, Matt and Hooper.

And if we win give some credit to Wilko

Quoted from Jimbob

More to the point where is Mcallister?

Maybe he's still "injured"  ;)

Terrible line up.

Quoted from Ipswin

And if we win give some credit to Wilko

For picking a team that Slade would also have done? I don't think so!  ;)

I predeicted a 2-1 loss on the prediction thread, I wont change that but to be honest looking at that lineup we're going to get hammered again. :o

Christ on a bike it's depressing on here! Wish I'd risked life and limb and gone to the game... :o

Seeing Dixon's and berretts name in the team just deflates me straight away, then seeing we have better players on the bench and not even in the team deflates me even more BUT

knowing we have a new man to come in next week and sort it out keeps me positive today ,

Well the euphoria hasn’t lasted long has it ? I hope our new manager doesn’t read fishy , maybe JF has told him the fans pick the team

Looking like another ' grimsby nil' game

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Let's be slightly more objective, you can hardly call any of what's played in front of them dynamic either. Iniesta and Xavi would struggle to provide for Vernon, Matt and Hooper.

One of the strangest phenomena of this utterly bizarre season is your continued support for Berrett. I wouldn't dream of saying you were wrong but I'd love to know what you see in him that is missing from other midfielders.

OMG ! What if Jolly has had a say on team selection , scary thought , its defo the best team if your after relegation , perhaps Wilco knows hes on his way so thought f**k it

Yep this is a slade team that's for sure. In Wilkos defence maybe not a lot more he could've done.....we're in the kaka!

Wilco just does not have a clue,, should be sat with slade.. on the dole

Tell what guy if we win today don’t start jumping on the bang wagon, clearly there is a reason why Wilko picked this team

Quoted from MuddyWaters

That's patently rubbish. They create nothing and they score never.

There is though. Suliman for Clarke, Hall Johnson for Dixon, Big Dave the bus driver for Berrett etc.

How many LB's have we had worse than Dixon? It's crazy that he's played at a higher level and has international caps to his name. He's dire. How the hell Hooper even made I bench I don't know, Can't wait for him to be gone he can work his scam with another team and pretend to be a pro footballer.

1 down already

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Tell what guy if we win today don’t start jumping on the bang wagon, clearly there is a reason why Wilko picked this team

There ya go   ;)

Game over after 3 mins

Wilko out !!

Getting battered already Carlisle had two great chances, and just scored!

Game over

1 down.........Wilko out

Well we stayed in the game for three minutes

0-1 🙄

flipping embarrasing

Abdul 19...why the need for writing a post like that??? Surely just ' Dave the bus driver would suffice

Ffs

Oh dear

FFS here we go again!

Dad's Army at the back beaten by pace again by the sounds of it.

FFS. Well done Macca for palming the first one. But a free shot for the 2nd hes got no chance of saving

Quoted from denni266

There ya go   ;)

Plenty of time yet

Oh well. That's the end of that then

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Plenty of time yet

When has that mattered since December?

Three flipping minutes 😡

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Plenty of time yet

Yes I'm sure Carlisle can score a few more past our useless defence.

Feel sorry for the travelling Town fans........game over........we don't score

Wilko is an absolute joke. What did he expect would happen picking a team full of utter frauds?

Brilliant. With that line up to be expected.

Not a great fan of Berrett, but he's by far our most experienced midfielder (assuming McAllister is never going to play for us again) - played 170 games for Carlisle in the division above. Given that Clifton is injured and Dembele is terribly out of form, I'm not surprised to see him in the team. Not exactly a lot of other choices, are there, especially when you consider how peripheral Vernam looks playing out wide?

Let's hope the curse of the ex hits Carlisle and Berrett bags the winner!

Wilco must have taken the 20-1 that we'd get relegated a couple of weeks ago...shocking line-up

Ffs I'm off to get a drink. Think its gonna be needed this afternoon(wine)

Look so like we are 1 down.

Will it be Jolley out if he picks a very similar team then ?

Cant wait for the end of the season so we can release alot of these players

Why didn't we just let Jolley take over today? Why do we even bother going through the motions of pretending to be a normal club, and doing time-honoured things like not sticking the manager straight into the fray just a day after he's taken on.
There's nothing normal about this club, we may as well do some none-normal things.

More likely to be Devitt.

The Carlisle commentators seem to have confused Matt with Harry Kane.

Mattt can't hit a barn door, golden opportunity and falls over!

Totally P'd off already.... disgusting... absolute shyte....

What an appalling team we are.

Hopefully the players heads dont go down as quickly as the fans. 87 mins left and its game over!
Drama queens.

The comment wasn't in support of Berrett at all but if that's the way you want to read it...the comment was merely that, whilst the midfield are poor so are the options in front of them. All the more surprising in that we employed a former striker as coach/assistant. Please tell me the redeeming features of Matt, Hooper & Vernon!

Quoted from barrattstandman

Will it be Jolley out if he picks a very similar team then ?

I'd like to imagine he's astute enough to realise Clarke, Dixon & Berrett are all appalling and will get them all permanently shipped off to reserves where they belong.

Quoted from barrattstandman

Hopefully not, but he hasn't got a lot to change has he with this crock of shi*e

Quoted from barrattstandman

Will it be Jolley out if he picks a very similar team then ?

I would flipping hope so, we knock Wilko for it so why would Jolley be immune?

Why are we attempting the offside trap?? How many times has the opposition waltzed past out OAP's, put the ball in, Macca pulls off a save but the ball rolls out to an unmarked striker who smashes the ball in while our OAP's have just about made it back to the 18 yard box, hands on hips and knackered.

Too many times.

Quoted from Perkins

Hopefully not, but he hasn't got a lot to change has he with this crock of shi*e

No he hasn't and neither has Wilko but he gets slated for it

Can we have the old Ipswin back please and get rid of this imposter

Quoted from Ipswin

No he hasn't and neither has Wilko but he gets slated for it

Wilko helped bring half of this lot in.

Quoted from Ipswin

Wilko is culpable for a number of the signings Slade made. Jolley inherits both of their mistakes.

Quoted from StaffsMariner

Hopefully the players heads dont go down as quickly as the fans. 87 mins left and its game over!
Drama queens.

The queens are on the pitch

Anyone watching ?  Have not heard Cardwell mentioned once, Rose only once when he fouled someone,...

Breaking news........Jolley changes his mind on taking the Town job and decides to buy an ice cream van instead...........1 Bentley

Quoted from RoboCod

Why didn't we just let Jolley take over today?  

Would he have picked a much different team to the one Wilko has chosen. Presumably you are thinking the new bloke would have picked the side everyone on here favours?

Quoted from Ipswin

No he hasn't and neither has Wilko but he gets slated for it

And quite rightly so, by his own admission he still speaks to Slade, so draw your own conclusions from that.

They turn up each week so like all good Sunday league level teams they loyalest players get picked

The new boss is here, watching you for the first time. Your position in the team, and your future career, hangs in the balance based on his first opinion of your ability. If there's ever a time this team should be playing out of their skins, this is it.

Yep, we're screwed

None of them want to be here anymore. Honestly don't want any of them to be here anymore either. The whole team can intercourse off.

I predicted a 1-1 draw so I am half way there already.

All we need now is to score a goal and not concede again.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Quoted from Ipswin

Would he have picked a much different team to the one Wilko has chosen. Presumably you are thinking the new bloke would have picked the side everyone on here favours?

He's been watching the team lately. Good chance he wouldn't have put Collins/Clarke together. Tried one of the new lads out, Suliman, Hall Johnson possibly. Pretty sure he knows that we're doomed after going 1 goal down and has a tactical change to prevent the opposition from just soaking up our tedious, predictable play and simply holding us at arms length, which Carlisle surely are going to do.
Wilko seems inexplicably bound to Slades style, he's got an hour to prove otherwise.

Quoted from Chrisblor

I'd like to imagine he's astute enough to realise Clarke, Dixon & Berrett are all appalling and will get them all permanently shipped off to reserves where they belong.

Sadly 2 of those 3  are contracted for another season,

We have to hope Jolly can convimce some club to take them off our hands,

Maybe Slade will get a job  and take them.

yayyyy !  get in... Cardwell






gets a mention...36 mins in

Why is it, we get to the opposition goal and it always leads to nothing? Poor pass, poor shot, poor cross, mis-control, shot blocked, player falls over his own feet, anything but working the keeper. We don't play badly and it sounds like we again are doing ok, until we get to the business end of the pitch.

Hooper is not any better our Strikers are all shite jolly will not change that. The only decent one as left.

Quoted from promotion plaice

We can hope PP   ;)

Quoted from moosey_club

Anyone watching ?  Have not heard Cardwell mentioned once, Rose only once when he fouled someone,...

Hes had one ball played into him and it was well over his head not even close, looked more like Dixon was passing the ball to their LB.

He lost a ball passed to feet. Chased down and challeneged for the clear ball in the air getting a bang on the head for his efforts.

Anyone else find themselves shouting 'off off off' when Dixon fouled Devitt?

Even Dave Moore has gone soft wearing long sleeves    :)

At least Matt tries.I can forgive him having no skill, but at least we actually hear his name unlike the likes of Berrett.

Hall-Johnson for Dixon. Mills gone to left back.

Paul Dixon cynically chops down Jamie Devitt and gets booked

Doesn't bode well. Sub him or wait for the red, Devitt will know how to approach this situation.

Excellent

Dixon should’ve been taken off 33 games earlier.

Pete, if the new man can turn Hooper or Matt into strikers I will nominate him for manager of the century!

HT: Carlisle 1-0 Town (Hope; hopeless)

We sound hopeless. Incredibly disappointing after the slight improvement last week and the supposed impetus of a new manager.  

Half time same old same old. Concede against the run one of their few chances (but at least they are creating some). Most of the ball but not creating a single effort on goal.

Got to be up there with the biggest spineless bunch of players we have ever had these lot.

Goes for the lot of em , sick of the lot em gutless wasters giving up before a balls kicked.

And yes I do include Macca in that , talks a good game every week but is part of that 11 every week losing every game, just because he is a goalkeeper and was part of the squad that got us up doesn't mean he is exempt from criticism , needs to move on in the summer .

I hope jolley can turn this around and hope we can move on about 20 players in the summer.

Mr Fenty.........put Jolley in charge for the second half..........nowt to lose.

Just 45 minutes away from the end of the failed Slade / Wilkinson partnership....

Then it’s a 10 game mini season for Jolley in charge of Town and  to try and save our status as a league club

I don’t envy him one bit...a new manager who will try his best but we need a magician to stop this rot

Half time and once again we're losing by one goal. Matt sums up the whole team for me, his confidence has been like a slow puncture for the last 4 months, we need to get some belief back.

Fenty better start getting a conference warchest ready this team is void of any talent and the whipping boys of league two. :B :B :B

You left it too late Fenty.

Utter balderdash. He's totally exposed by the shite in front of him - what's he meant to do when they let a player clean through, he pulls off a save and then our defenders are still missing while their lad taps in the rebound?

42 minutes without conceding and we even had a shot on target - what are you all moaning about?

In all seriousness, I don't think we're lazy or gutless just really, really poor. That's what worries me most. With Conlon, Sweeney etc they were lazy wasters but you knew if you could coax some effort that they could produce occasionally. Can this lot do it? He needs to instill some belief somehow and just hope we can grind some results out.

Quoted from Mariner93er

At least Matt tries.I can forgive him having no skill, but at least we actually hear his name unlike the likes of Berrett.

10 games to get what 14 points? it will be one hell of a turnaround if he lands it. My view? Us and Barnet for the drop and then a re-build and a few seasons before we get up.  

Appointing a new manager does not hide the fact that the better players have left, Slade's signings where poor and the players left are National League level in reality.

I don't think anybody could get much out of these set of players,

I just hope Jolley knows about 20 that we need.

It's a 3 game mini season for me. Port Vale, Chesterfield and Barnet to come. Winning those three would go a long way to rescuing us. Problem is, they all have a recognised goalscorer and we don't.

I think you will find young Killip did the same thing you expect your defenders to be alert enough to help the keeper out after making a decent save.

Hang on Pete you are talking next season, what happened to getting a new manager who will save us from relegation, suddenly no one seems as intense about it any more. Its almost as if Fenty has appointed the new bloke ready for National League and everyone is looking for reasons why Jolley isn't going to save us.

I will give Jolley a fair chance like I know you will mate,

I will be pleased if we stay up by a point this season.

Quoted from ginnywings

Big chance just missed by Cardwell...

Should be 1-1 according to the commentator

felicitations sake

Cardwell shot on target!!!!

Cardwell through and should score, but doesn't. Story of our season, we just cannot fooking score.

Six yards out can't finish, we should do better.

Ffs

Goalkeeper makes a great save from Cardwell.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Big chance just missed by Cardwell...

Should be 1-1 according to the commentator

Quick reflex save from the Keeper, not much room to get his shot off from.

That was our change!

Anyone else cringe when Matt jumps to head the ball, elbows flailing in every direction...

Maybe there is still something in this game for us

At least our fans are still singing so with their encouragement, anything could happen...

UTM

Oh,  we miss a certain goal.  Nobody is surprised.   :-/

Vernam for Cardwell

Vernam on for Cardwell...

24 minutes plus stoppage time to try and get something from today

UTM

Vernam makes it 2 shots on target!

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Thought it was Tony Ford but could be wrong..........and I was at the game   ::)

Do you reckon Summerfield will ever score a goal again?

We sound no worse than Carlisle, just the confidence is so shot that we bottle it as soon as we get in their final third.

Again, we sound like we are in the game and having plenty of possession, but we just can't score and we always concede, usually a soft goal too.

2-0

Sounds as if Macca was taken out but it stil stands

That's your lot  :(

Quoted from Badger57

Do you reckon Summerfield will ever score a goal again?

Not in the Football League.

2-0

And there you have it in a nutshell. We miss, they score.

2-0

That's your lot  :(

These players are pathetic. Not fit to wear the shirt.

2-0 looked liked like Macca slips going for the ball but still a free header once again

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Game over, do we know who knocked Macca over?

Probably Clarke, the flipping carthorse

I repeat a bunch of spineless gutless w@nkers.

Clarke fouled Macca ?

At least Jolley will be witnessing first hand what our problems are and can set about addressing them.

It was just inevitable isn’t it?

We’re going down. We won’t score more than 5 more goals this season.

We’re flipping doomed

Probably only need 10 points, alhough 10 nil nils is probably all we can hope far.......Chesterfield and Barnet are the crucial home games that we can't afford to lose.

If he didnt think he had a squad full of dross before well I'm sure he has now.

I'm seriously worried and I hope he makes at least 6 changes next week .

Quoted from promotion plaice

Thought it was Tony Ford but could be wrong..........and I was at the game   ::)

Definitely Brolly hit the bar I can still see it - it was at our end and seemed to happen in slow motion - suddenly there he was in acres of space just the keeper to beat, hit underside of the bar and bounced out. We would have beaten Swindon in the semifinal and played Forest in the final at Wembley...

Listening to the commentary it sound like Rose and Berret have gone missing in the 2nd half - Again!

Where's Dembele?

I could take a shovel to the back of Slades head for what he has left us with.

Listening to the commentary it sound like Rose and Berret have gone missing in the 2nd half - Again!

Why has he not brought on another forward and taken off a defender?

Matt misses a sitter, sums up our season....DOOOMED!

He hasn't even taken over yet FFS.

I know that but if you read the posts you will see that what he can do next season if we go down is suddenly coming to the fore instead of 'Jolley is the answer he's going to save us' - the excuses are coming out already for some reason, I thought a new manager to keep us us was the priority and that many thought Jolley was the man to do it

Personally I have never thought we would be relegated even under Slade or Wilko, its still in our hands, we are relying on no one other than ourselves and I still believe that but its almost as if people are preparing themselves for it (and making excuses for Jolley in advance)

I don't agree with his appointment but I do think he will keep us up - 9 points from the three big games - easy!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Listening to the commentary it sound like Rose and Berret have gone missing in the 2nd half - Again!

Bit harsh on Rose hes chasing again but neither are doing abything when they're in possession

And another chance goes begging...Matt this time

"How did they not score there"

LMFAO!  
Couldn't score in a brothel as the old chant used to go.

Can we still sign unattached players? Perhaps there’s a gem out there that MJ knows about.

Good god

Matt is another carthorse. flipping anvils for feet

Chop jamille Matt's legs off and he might score a goal.

And we miss another sitter. Have we ever had a more incompetent forward line? How we ended up with Matt as our main striker is criminal. He's useless.

Quoted from chipsandgravy

I could take a shovel to the back of Slades head for what he has left us with.

Metaphorically of course!!

So Vernam playing really well, why wasn’t he on from the off. Sorry but there is some quality available but we’re not using it. I hope Jolley does.

Great bit of work by Vernam all Matt has to do is strike it and he bobbles it to the hands of their keeper he can't even connect on a fantastic pass like that!  >:(

Hooper on for Berrett

Not going to change the result at all though.... :-/

When are Wilks and Jackson going to be back? Will at least give some options and god knows we need them.

There's got to be better Sunday league strikers than this lot!

Hooper for Berrett  :o

How the hell did we manage to get into this position again 😡

We're saved Hooper is coming on.(100)(groupwave1)

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

When are Wilks and Jackson going to be back? Will at least give some options and god knows we need them.

Another 3 to 6 weeks

I've said on this forum many times we need to try and get behind this squad to try and save us from the drop but... even I'm starting to struggle to understand how we can be this bad. Even the most mediocre teams have some occasionally positive results but I'm struggling to understand how we're even going to see a win unless Jolley can perform miracles in the next few weeks.

Slade's career in football must be over after this - how he put together this squad is beyond me.

Quoted from gytone

How the hell did we manage to get into this position again 😡

Well it started 9 months ago when some.idiot decided to appoint a manager like Slade who has never achieved anything in football

Hopeless absolutely fvcking hopeless.

Conference.

Penalty to Carlisle

Another 3 against us then?

How can you think we won't get relegated? We're averaging less than a goal every 3 games at the minute and the points are even rarer.

Think the appointment raised hopes. Realistically I didn't have us down for a result today. Still feel gutted.

Peno. Sumerfield clatters the man in the box because he can't stop his momentum

Summerfield the knob.

Macca saves!

At least one of our players has done what he's supposed to do

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Agreed he should never have been appointed and then not sacking him before the transfer window shut

McKeown is the only player to come out of today with any respect. God imagine if we still had Pearson playing in front of him :'(

Will the board please come out and offer an unreserved apology for Slade , for allowing his January dealings to go through and for their incompetence in not sacking him 6 weeks before they did.  

Great save by Macca

Typical that when a penalty is missed against us it doesn't flipping matter!

I've been watching Town for over 40 years, and it's hard to name a squad worst then this.....to be in such a comfortable mid-table positon 12 months ago to witness this shambles, Fenty and Slade should hang their heads in shame!

Quoted from Chrisblor

McKeown is the only player to come out of today with any respect. God imagine if we still had Pearson playing in front of him :'(

I would add Mills to that. Played well at RB and playing  well out of position at LB now

Not a chance of that though is there

Slade has left with a pay off so won't be bothered in the slightest which leaves us with the non-chairman still pulling the strings of our self destruction :-/

Welcome aboard Michael you know the size of your task now.l

I knew we were excrement but today it has actually hit me that we are in deep excrement.

These wasters will take us down unless jolley makes big big changes , I really don't know if he has enough quality in the squad to save us i really dont .

There's about as much chance of Fenty writing off £2 million as getting him to admit his mistakes.

The BBC Cumbria commentators are trying to make out we are half decent.

If I was Macca and Mills I would be looking for a move away from these deadbeats.

Look on the bright side... if we weren't in the sh*t he'd still be our manager!

Quoted from topuphere666

We’re flipping doomed

No we're not we've got a great new manager

The thing is we have actually created chances today. On another day we might have scored them so their is some encouragement, not a lot but some 😂

Quoted from HertsGTFC

The BBC Cumbria commentators are trying to make out we are half decent.

To be honest it's good to get an alternative view, though all they have said is what we already know

We're ok between the boxes but we cannot defend and even worse we cannot score

Hapless, hopeless, helpless  :(

2-0 FT

At least I got my POM correct

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

We were upper mid table at Christmas.

Our decline has been catastrophic and we will certainly get relegated.

One of the reasons I am so pessimistic is that I have seen this before when absolutely everything goes against you. Practically every match in the country off today yet somehow ours survives to make it that bit more difficult. A week with a new manager without playing (losing) today might have made a difference.

Quoted from Meza

Ive already accepted relegation and do you know what i feel ok about  (trust me im livid with the current situation) but tjis board would much better with 1 less moaning fishy 😉😛

You don't think our new manager is going to save us then?

5/1 for relegation pre-game. I reckon we’ll be about 2/1 in a couple of hours.

Positive.........Wilko will never be in charge of the first team ever again.

Newport got out of worse last season. They didn't even bring in a new manager until the second week in March, and they were 11 points adrift. We are in the sh1t no doubt, but we still have hope. Down to the new man now. If he can't turn us around quickly, then we will probably go down, but let's see what he's made of before we relegate ourselves. It's imperative we beat Port Vale now.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

We were upper mid table at Christmas.

Our decline has been catastrophic and we will certainly get relegated.

The point is, we we're not even good then. We scrambled a few points here and there but as other teams got their acts together we were  shown up for the poor team we are. We never had a hope of hitting the playoffs,  that was a ridiculous notion.  With the loss of our better players (because Fenty thought we were  safe) we've got worse.....  It's a Fenty intercourse up of the highest order and he must be absolutely shitting it when he looks at the table tonight.

I cannot believe Wilkinson wasn't shown the door when Slade was, he must be at least partially culpable for some of the rubbish we have at this club and he continues to have faith in them!
The only hope we have of avoiding the drop is to extinguish the legacy of Slade's regime and that  means Wilkinson should go, He may have been a good player for us but that DOES NOT mean we owe him a living.
We have hope with Jolly, but not if Wilkinson has any input in team selection of tactics.
A clean sweep needed IMO.

Quoted from LH

5/1 for relegation pre-game. I reckon we’ll be about 2/1 in a couple of hours.

I would think so, most teams have 2/3 games in hand, we could be 22nd/23rd in a couple of weeks.

Time for Wilko to pack his bags and fvck off too.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

If they had seen the last 14 games they would have a completely different opinion.

Just corrected that for you mate,

Quoted from friskneymariner

Welcome aboard Michael you know the size of your task now.l

Regardless of if we stay up or not he just needs to keep this likes of Macca, Clifton, Mills, Dembelle and try and off load the other wage sealers that Slade brought in.

Didn't expect much too today and once again the radio made it sound like lots of players met my expectations.

He’s got to take some blame. He’s on the payroll and his input has been pathetic.

He should be no where near the first team.

Quoted from craigy

But the match is played in real time over 90 minutes of endeavour and application as the game develops

Our players though seemingly just don't have what it takes to convert chances when they arise, not today nor any other day ::)

Wilkinson picked the wrong team today. We all know that.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Positive.........Wilko will never be in charge of the first team ever again.

I wouldn't want Wilco giving any more input, he just as responsible for our demise, he needs to go now.

Well we move on to Port fail.  

FIFTEEN GAMES WITHOUT A WIN. GOAL DIFFERENCE GROWING WITH A STRIKE FORCE AS POTENT AS A OAP ON A ZIMMER FRAME.

Jolly has not got a chance in hell who has he got who is any good???

Quoted from Badger57

Yep. It would have been better all round if we had been sh1te earlier in the season, then we could have got rid of Slade sooner and would probably have kept the better players too. Massive mis-calculation by the board. Smug B@stards.

Wilco needs to walk tonight, No one can be so thick that they cannot see what was not working before will not work in the future. He is slade mark 2, and should not be any where near the squad

Can I take it we actually made a few chances today?

Quoted from oochiad

Wilkinson picked the wrong team today. We all know that.

We also all know the players he has at his disposal are shitter than the pavement down Harrington Street even Jolly won't change that not this season anyway.

Can we go the rest of the season without a win? This is entirely possible.

Quoted from Grimbiggs

I wouldn't want Wilco giving any more input, he just as responsible for our demise, he needs to go now.

Totally agree, he was part of the management team that decimated the squad we had when Slade and him took over and brought in some of the worst players to ever appear in a Town shirt. If he didn't have an input into who we let go, and who we signed, and team selections, what the hell is he doing here as Asst Manager?

Picking a useless carthorse like Matt as your main striker proves that Wilkinson is as bad as Slade in my book. How anyone would play him ahead of Vernam is beyond me.

Quoted from Ipswin

Can I take it we actually made a few chances today?

definately at least 3  from the commentary...Cardwell fluffed one, Matt fluffed two

Back to page 17 and better times;  I went to both replays against Wolves in the quarter-finals.

My memory is that Drinkell hit the bar at Wolves (in front of 10,000 Town fans), not Ford or Brolly.  The memory plays tricks though.

What would we give for a team half as good as that today?

Quoted from moosey_club

definately at least 3  from the commentary...Cardwell fluffed one, Matt fluffed two

There you are then, a vast improvement on Cambridge a couple of weeks ago, all we need now is Padraig Amond for next week

Seriously I've only seen Town twice this season Cambridge and Colchester. At Colchester we could have been 3 or 4 up if it wasn't for their keeper, we weren't missing 'em, they were saving 'em, it could all turn around next week

Quoted from oochiad

Wilkinson picked the wrong team today. We all know that.

Who would you have picked bearing in mind who he has got to choose from striker-wise

Quoted from Ipswin

Can I take it we actually made a few chances today?

It wouldn't matter if we created a chance every minute of every match if we don't convert them

It's goals that count and the opposition are doing that with every game against us... one or two chances are converted without fail

Rubbish, no one will keep this team up best 3 midfielders gone, Dembele not fit/lost all confidence, only 1 good defender, plus a loanee who hasn't kicked a ball yet. No strikers with any natural scoring ability or ability to control a football (though Vernam has some skill) it will be like rearranging deckchairs on the titanic for the rest of the season. Utterly disgusted with what Fenty allowed to happen and what He I hate to name did. Wilko needs dumping at end of season as well. Give him 3 month notice so he actually has to earn half of his payoff, Only players to come out of todays game with any kudos were Mills and McKeown and a cameo role from Vernam. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :o

Seem to remember Kev Moore going really close with a header in the first game.

Quoted from Ipswin

At the minute we're scrapping for our lives, it doesn't matter how many chances you create, we seriously need goals now, and if we don't average a point a game from now on in, it's almost certain that we'll be relegated.

Players accused of surrendering? Seems you lot are willing defeat and relegation on our club.

Show some f'ing fight like you demand from the players!!

We can beat Port Vale next week

It's the players that have to turn it around, another magnificent showing from the travelling fans today and rewarded with another defeat.

Show some fight !?!?!?  I think 153 showed that today and were rewarded with another p1ss poor effort.

The way i see it now Jolley has 2-3 games to get to grips with the squad, 3- 4 games to get to grips with a system to suit the squad and then 3-4 games to win.  
Post Fenty's last statement where he claimed there was no reason this squad couldnt get another 20 points i commented i dont think they could muster 10 more never mind 20.....3 straight defeats since then....and i still dont see where the next win or even next points are coming from.

Wilkinson has proved conclusively that he is out of his depth in football management. If we had to go into those games with today's starting 11,  I would say we are already relegated.

Poor though the squad is, there were still better options available today. Give Sulliman a game ahead of one of the OAP's in central defence. Play RHJ, Start with Vernam. Most obvious of all, leave Matt at home. Even Hooper is a better bet than him.

Personally I would cancel Matt's loan and pay him off. He is worse than useless.  It would send a message to the rest of the squad that we would rather not carry passengers at this time.  

We have to find a way to beat Barnet and Chesterfield. Jolly has a few weeks to plan that. He should have some idea of the best side for those games. Let's hope Wilks, Clifton, Davies, and Jackson are available for those games.

Quoted from LH

5/1 for relegation pre-game. I reckon we’ll be about 2/1 in a couple of hours.

365 still offering 11/2 - topped up another tenner

Quoted from Cloudy

Show some f'ing fight like you demand from the players!!

We can beat Port Vale next week

Anything is possible Cloudy but in the last 15 games there were lots of us who thought we had other winnable games.... but look how they went??

The only way we can win games is by not giving away goals to the opposition and by taking chances created ourselves

There's a chance we might do this against Port Vale but more than likely we will be having a similar conversation next week when we fail again because we don't have the players at our disposal with the necessary application and ability

I hope I'm proved wrong and that Jolley can somehow untap whatever potential there might be in the squad he's about to inherit... I'm not going to be totally pessimistic and say it can't be done, but I'm more realistic in thinking it probably won't be done

Highlights if you want to watch.

And this one

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMeBuyGYKAs[/url].

Wasn't Drinkell, my memory is vivid, I hadn't had any ale - was a bit too young, I can see the bald head and the beard, he took his time, measured his strike which was good - too good, if he'd scuffed it a bit probably would have gone in. Nearly got a kicking outside - a few aimed at us as we had to go through all the home fans to get back to the car, but we just kept walking and no one followed us. Fish and chips on the way home in Hykeham, every fish and chips shop on the A46 did a roaring trade that night.

Here is how I see it.

We have a 7 point lead over Barnet, who have a game in hand. Should we beat them they have to make up a 10 point deficit in their remaining 10 fixtures. That is quite an ask for a side that is averaging less than a point a game. If, as I think we need to, we get to 46 points Barnet would need 17 points from 10 games (assuming we beat them) to catch us. That is almost promotion form, and it's hard to see them doing that.

We have a 6 point lead over Chesterfield who have two games in hand. If we beat them on our way to 46 points then they would need 16 points from their other 11 games. They have averaged a point a game for the last 6 games so that is not impossible, but would involve a turnaround in form.

But were we to lose those two games, the maths becomes far more worrying. Barnet would need 11 points from 10 games, and Chesterfield 10 from 11. I would not fancy our chances on that scenario. Remember we need to stay ahead of both of them unless someone else goes into free fall.

I think we have to win the Port Vale, Barnet and Chesterfield home games to stay up. One imagines we might pick up a point or two from the remaining 7 fixtures to finish on 46 to 47 points which will probably be enough.  We have  three cup finals. The first of which is next week.

A baptism of fire for MJ.

It was the same old story-lets get an ex player to manage the side,Disley etc because they were good players.
Wilkinson should have been released-his media appearances were  pathetic.
3 games and three defeats with no improvement whatsoever.

You’ll all see it soon enough. Ffs slade didn’t stand a chance

Disgusting mismanagement of our club

It’s nothing we don’t already know tbh but it just makes me feel sick to realise a PR statement comes out in jan to try and placate the fans but the reality behind the scenes is completely the opposite.

Come on, just tell us what you're on about!

Got a feeling I’m going to receive a banning order soon

Think you need to get this off your chest...take a deep breath and spill those beans. It'll make you feel better

Probably means the stuff on Twitter where Farmery claims Slade was told he had to sell Jones, Osbourne and Dembele in Jan. He them goes on to reveal players wages?

Tbh he has posted loads of stuff in the past, much of which has proved nonsense. Works for the Daily Mail? How would he know what Slade was told by Fenty?

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

Summerfield on a grand a week ?

Absolute thief.

I've always maintained that most of the fault lies with the board. Slade wasn't to blame for the January clear out- that much is obvious. We will never get anywhere with this board. Just go back 14 years and look at our finishing positions in each season. It's a litany of relegation and mid to lower table finishes. 6 years in non league scraping along and one decent season when Slade got us to the play off final ten years ago. Until we get new blood on the board, we will keep on struggling.

Not to mention the keeper we got on loan ...... his wages were embarrassing

And what is his point am I missing something glaringly obvious?

This Tom geezer seems rather nosy and desperate for attention also.

Why are we discussing the past? Let's just move on and luck forward into making this club great again.

The past has hurt us but we need to look ahead else that's gonna do us more harm than good.

Even Nunty can't have thought we'd get £1million for Dembele.

And yet, the squad was decimated in January, with a barrowload of unfit, untried, untested loanees brought in. I've been asking myself why and it always boils down to saving money being more important than anything else.

£1000pw in League Two football is intercourse all. I had heard from a fairly good source that another midfielder we had was on £2,500pw.

I honestly don't mate and truly believe a change is required at board level but can't see it happening. Just hoping for things to settle down on the pitch and then an investor might pop up out of the blue.

All I'm trying to get at is we've just got a new Manager and we should concentrate giving him our full attention because no matter what we say on here will make no difference with getting the board replaced or changed.

Just gets boring when one minute we're all excited about the MJ announcement then the next we're straight onto Fenty again over a Tweet.

I'm sure everyone will kick up a fuss about what this journo has tweeted but remember ladies and gentlemen not everything you read is true.

I think people wouldn't take any notice of these tweets if what has happened at GTFC this season was a one off. Unfortunately as we are all aware it has been a catalogue of disasters since 2002. Relegation after relegation, awful managerial appointments, terrible players signed, bad PR, a downright feeling of despondency about the club. Operation Promotion and beating Forest Green was a great moment when we got promotion back into the Football League but the board should have never let us get into that position in the first place.

Gtfc are staring into the abyss again . You’ve got to ask yourselves why . Total mismanagement from the top .

Can anybody post a link of the post match interview with Wilko please?

Tweets are Tweets. But if it's about Town, involves Fenty and is pretty awful then it's probably true.

It's just endless, literally endless.

Are you going to reveal what you’ve heard or just leave us in the dark?

Quoted from H19P1

I find it strange that Louth posts loads of  ranrpting in the matter of minutes but then doesn't deliver the goods. Either an attention thing, second thoughts or actually has been banned 😀

If the fishy had an easy way to post texts I’ve been sent I’d put them straight on here . I’ve got nothing to hide or second thoughts about what I’ve said . If you want to disagree fine but I’ve been a fan of gtfc long enough to realise that all this lot in charge are full of shi.te .
I’m amazed that jolley has taken the job tbh

Hiw could we disagree? You still haven't told us what you're on about but it sounds like it's more than the Tom Farmery tweets.

Simeon flipping Jackson .

Yeah slade was really backed in January wasn’t he .

Quoted from Cloudy

ExactLy, he hasn't got a good association with the truth and GTFC!!!

I do remember him being really p1ssed away ar Dartford once and getting chucked out.

Fair comment. All I was pointing out is that you've loaded the gun but not fired the final shot. Why put posts telling everyone that you know something but fail to tell what you know.

If you've got multiple text messages then surely you can summarise in your own words so we know where you're coming from.

Not disagreeing with you fella, just want to know what you've heard or been shown.

I think a good summary would be that Fenty has not made a success of being a non chairman. I think we all know that anyway, and until his control is ended we are stuck.

And, how many people weren't pi55ed when we were playing in the conference!
Half the players seemed like they were at times

This is common discussions over many year now. Think Louth has been rattled by something new but is failing to disclose.

Indeed, but nothing would actually surprise me. After all you don't consistently produce terrible teams that fall into non league by being a dynamic success do you?

Tom Farmery

What about him??

Quoted from ginnywings

https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2018/march/wilkinson-on-his-last-game-in-charge/

Wilko says Jolley has already introduced himself to the players and Harry Clifton wasn't involved today because of a tight groin.

He also pointed out we are not ruthless enough........still lost though   :o

Or you just having a go because he's a journo or that he works for the Mail?

I'll tell you something now, he's as town as they come.

I back this and can confirm that he has Town running through his body believe me.

Think we just need Louth to complete his posts by disclosing what's been shown to him. It's probably nothing and he's had a bad day but until he says so then I cannot help but feel there's something he knows different to when we already know.

Where exactly did I have a go at him?

Do I know him? No not personally but seen him at lots of games over the years.

And no I’m not having a go at him because he’s works for the Mail despite the fact it’s a right wing Tory rag and I wouldn’t wipe my backside with it.

So you've succumbed to a decision using your political nouse have you?

Have you seen me at any games? i get pi55ed at games sometimes but that's more to enjoy a few beers with my mates, it also lightens the blow of some of the 5hite that's on show.

I was always told buy cheap buy twice . And we wondered why slade had to end up signing a load of cast offs in the summer . The writing was on the wall. So short sighted . Again .

Can you copy and paiste where I actually “succumbed” to a decision about anything relating to this as I am not sure I did. All I said was that I saw someone who was p1ssed get thrown out of a game. Did I say it was wrong?

We have never spent enough. Even in non league the so called competitive budget was nowhere near enough, as shown by the calibre of player generally signed.

If and when we go down again the budget won't be enough to give us a chance of automatic promotion either. Two for the price of one will always be the motto.

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Ha ha ha...... more of a go at the paper than the person.

“Cost of everything, value of nothing”. Doesn’t stop at the playing budget. SLOs, Mighty Mariner/Andy Carr/matchday experience, charging the Trust for a board place etc etc etc.

Has crack reached the rural bliss of Louth ?  

Some odd posts this evening.

Didn’t take long for some on here to start draining the goodwill generated from the Jolley appointment.
Louth, you’re talking in riddles and to be honest anything you've been told about Fenty and his decisions wouldn’t surprise 99% of people on here.
The past is the past, we all know the chances of achieving any success with the current board are minimal.
But until they go, the fans have to stick together, get behind the manager (God knows he needs it!), and try our level best to support this team to safety.
When we achieve safety, then we can push for changes at the top. UTMM Forever!!

Quoted from arryarryarry

Highlights if you want to watch.

http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/11275011/carlisle-2-0-grimsby

Pretty pathetic highlights as they didn't bother to show the chances we apparently had.

First goal, probably onside though it looked to me that somebody on our right (perhaps Mills?) was the one playing him on. Slightly weak for the first save from McKeown, perhaps, but Sod's law that the ball went straight to their player. Clear foul on McKeown for the second goal - literally knocked off his feet by a shove. If the referee can't see that, why is he in the job? I also thought the penalty a little unlucky as the player seemed to step back into Summerfield's path. Not that it mattered, of course.

Yet again, however, we were punished with the opposition's first chance and then failed to take the chances which did come our way.

The worry is that there is no lack of effort from the players and they are clearly trying their hardest. At the moment, any defensive error costs us a goal and we're failing to force the ball home at the other end when we do get the chances. Can Jolley change things around enough to get the improvements we need so badly? Looking at the starting line-up today, just 8 goals between the midfielders/forwards this season show where the problem lies.

Our top scorer is Mitch Rose with 5 goals I believe? I think only 2 of those are in open play.

No I’m not on crack and the reason I’m talking in riddles is I don’t want to be done for libel .

Summerfield on a grand a week ?

Absolute thief.

Been our best and most consistent player this season though.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

And that's the worrying thing. If he looks good compared to the rest of the players, then we really are in deep trouble :-/

Like to know how they found out Summerfield's wage surely that is private info.

FIFTY GRAND A YEAR.

When a lot of fans are on about 15 grand a year for doing a forty hour a week job in a fish processing company, hmm.

Yeah. That makes me think this whole tweet is just hearsay balderdash.

Maybe someone should post how much this Farmery earns.

IDGAF how much anyone earns. All I ever ask for is that the person doing a job does it to the best of their ability. If that's packing fish or playing football, doesn't matter.
Footballers are in a little bubble where they get pampered, not so much at the level we are at now, but relatively, compared to said fish packer. They all need to get a reality check and their arses kicked cos I'm not convinced more than 2 or 3 of our squad are giving their all every game. Wages are largely irrelevant in your attitude. Pay more work harder? Sometimes, sure. Pay more, be better than you actually are? Never happened.

There was a study done by carling when they had the sponsorship (I think) that showed the average income of season ticket holders per club (rob can you dig this out?)

Newcastle had the lowest figure due to the amount of people on benefits.
