No JJ? TFFT.

Team news in...

Collins straight back in (suprised there)
Fox and Rose back in the starting line up.

Have i missed something with Pringle....injury or something as not in the squad ?

Pringle not fit yet

Famewo is very unlucky to be dropped to the bench..

Quoted from denni266

Pringle not fit yet

:-/  Ta.

5-4-1?

Formation?

Looks like Jolley has learnt the lesson from Tuesday and not started with Hooper.

Who knows....

Quoted from monkeyboy

5-4-1?

Could be wing backs again?

Guessing Embleton is on england duty?  going well this loan business lol we never seem to have them available

Clifton playing on the left ? eh

No Vernam AGAIN!

Why won't he pick him to start FFS?

Live stream working well for me   :)

Quoted from promotion plaice

Live stream working well for me   :)

working well in Beijing, too. Town playing some nice little moves here and there

ok, I take that back now

Utter shite

excrement defending.

Something should have got a challenge in FFS!!!

Awful football leading to that goal, urine poor pass from Whitmoore, Wooly didn't have a hope and what RB doesn't shield a player out wide in that situation instead lets them inside. Macca had no hope, curled into the far post

bad defending backing of and if just let them have a free shot. excrement

Cook should have buried that!

should of equalised cook 1 on 1 and keeper saved

Bad miss. intercourse sake

That’s a really good chance squandered.

We look well dodgy in the right?

Quoted from LH

That’s a really good chance squandered.

Add it to a long list.

Rose has scored for Boston

Rose scores for boston

Thought we looked weak on right last couple of matches Davis very lightweight does not get strong tackle in.

Game over ... again

Quoted from HertsGTFC

We look well dodgy in the right?

Davis just isn't a wingback and Woolford is too slow to support him propery

FFS

excrement defending yet again.

excrement refs again intercourse off cuntz

Poor defending.......game over .......we don't score enough   :o

Relegation battle looms already!!...said it before and I'll say it again, absolutely toothless up front!!...
In fairness and with balance, that's a shocking decision yet again....never a corner and wonder if it's going to be a season of hard luck stories!!

Dont worry.. we are a work in progress  .. 15 years in to it ... bottom 4 by 5pm

Another long season coming.

Two things, Macca is weak on crosses and we cannot score, a formula for another long hard season.

They’ve had 2 chances and scored them both, we’ve had 2 and missed both.

I'm past caring to be honest. I expect nothing and am rarely disappointed.

Strange defensive set up, not sure if Collins is good enough now, and for a side that creates little, we have to take our chances.

Oh dear
Another relegation fight ahead of us☹️☹️☹️

Fox off for Famewo, shame really Fox was one of the few players who was lokking like he was having a half decent game

Absolute crap.

This is a really poor performance, we need to stop giving the fukin ball away

Different management, same old Town. We build ourselves up and get knocked down again.

We are not good enough it’s us Macclesfield or Morcombe for the drop.
Que let’s pack the park Oldham will beat us

Slade in a motherfucking suit..

Seriously though its all so weird atm with players a bit all over the place and the defence has no pace whatsoever and we look being caught out everytime.

Its the hope that kills you .

Famewo plays with Whitmore, defence plays a high line and looks pacey and solid and less of a gap to Cook. Collins plays with Whitmore, defence plays deeper and looks slow and shaky and Cook gets isolated. Collins dishing out bollockings left right and centre yet misses challenges and headers himself. It seems like he makes his fellow defenders nervy with his presence. Not convinced we need Collins as a starter at all, nearly always the same when he plays nowadays..

Clifton adds nothing defensively as he get's shrugged off the ball too often so why not play more offensively with Vernam. Jolley still baffling me or maybe he's just too conservative and defensively minded..

We look lethargic, so slow to do everything

Quoted from Gaffer58

Two things, Macca is weak on crosses and we cannot score, a formula for another long hard season.

Unfortunately macca just can’t seem to get this part of his game right

if we lose this which is looking likely at ht, that will be 1 win in 7 league games it's not good enough.

It's not working is it Mr Jolley? (let's hope you can get us out of the excrement again in the last few games this season, if you're still in the job that is)

Do not deserve to be Losing for me they had two shots two goals, we had a few chances but haven’t taken them

When does Jolley start taking some of the blame, seems like he's bullet proof at the moment ?

Think he’s made a mistake playing davis out on the right, bury identified it as a weak area, caused us a few problems putting extra pressure in that area. Second goals unlucky but I dont think the lineups right today tbh

Shockingly bad Mckeown should never have got a 3 year deal

Very disappointing, seems we loan out our better prospects and persevere with ---------?

Quoted from Bigdog

To be honest having been to every game so far including the friendlies I've not been that impressed with Whitmore.

I also have to say I'm not currently impressed with Jolley, more team changes, leaves out Vernam one of our best players and 2-0 down and still playing one up front.

Major changes this half or he will be losing a lot of support.

Could not agree more.

Quoted from Ipswin

No Vernam AGAIN!

Why won't he pick him to start FFS?

Like he has the last 2 games you mean Swin? 🤦‍♂️

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Do not deserve to be Losing for me they had two shots two goals, we had a few chances but haven’t taken them

Err that's the idea??-take your chances.
If you don't you deserve to be losing.

Got to say, I wasn't surprised by the negative line up today, I sadly expected it. Why is Vernam not starting? Collins shouldn't of started and Davis should be in the middle with Hendrie out wide. Can't wait for Thomas to be back so he can start up front in a three with Cook and Vernam.

3 games to get it right Mr Jolley...1 win in 7 is sacking material......fine words and nice suits dont win me over . sign players that cant play for one reason or another . play players well out of position ..and no game plan for us or the players to see.. just as bad as slade  so far

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Do not deserve to be Losing for me they had two shots two goals, we had a few chances but haven’t taken them

Strange way to put it, they were better defending and attacking than us but don`t deserve anything for it

Quoted from promotion plaice

When does Jolley start taking some of the blame, seems like he's bullet proof at the moment ?

NOW!!!....his squad, his players, his backroom staff and assistants!!...add to that it's his tactics and approach to the mix and the finger points in one direction and one direction only!!...
Don't want to see him fail but I do wonder if he's a morph of bignot and slade,..
Plus Macca needs to get out of the habit of just hoofing it up field, Russell has far better distribution of the ball...

Took Slade 19 games without a win to get sacked, his job is safe for now

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

Like he has the last 2 games you mean Swin? 🤦‍♂️

Yes that's exactly what I mean

All this balderdash about what a great squad Jolley is building but he hasn't got a flipping clue who to play and where.

He might be good at attracting players he's not so hot at coaching and tactics. Like someone already said Slade in a suit (but without the experience)

Quoted from arryarryarry

To be honest having been to every game so far including the friendlies I've not been that impressed with Whitmore.

I also have to say I'm not currently impressed with Jolley, more team changes, leaves out Vernam one of our best players and 2-0 down and still playing one up front.

Don't agree with that at all. Whitmore has been one of our best players this season and Vernam hasn't been  very impressive (too greedy). Agree about Macca though - useless at free kicks and corners.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Took Slade 19 games without a win to get sacked, his job is safe for now

Bloody hell do you really think we'll have to wait that long, FFS I hope not!

Calls for a sack are just plain daft ffs. takes time to build a side , some of you seem to think we should be walking every game wearing flip flops palying like Barca. get  a grip.
We will not be in a relegation battle. id rather have a crap start and good finish unlike last season.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Took Slade 19 games without a win to get sacked, his job is safe for now

Dont think  Fenty will leave it that close again

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Do not deserve to be Losing for me they had two shots two goals, we had a few chances but haven’t taken them

so we do deserve to be losing then .. ;D

Just got in and have seen nothing. Could not believe the line up on the radio as I drove home intending to pay a tenner for the second half. So many questions! Think I'll listen to JT and eat chocolate.

As disappointed as i am with our poor start, talk of Jolley getting the sack already is ridiculous.

He's got to be given time, but I do question his tactics and formations....players regularly playing out of position.

Vernam on for Welsh at half time, 442 then?

Quoted from ginnywings

As disappointed as i am with our poor start, talk of Jolley getting the sack already is ridiculous.

I don't think anyone is calling for him to be sacked (yet) merely pointing out that this urine poor run can't go on and if it does it must not be allowed to go on as long as it did with Slade.

Sooner (preferably) or later Jolley has to actually deliver

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

Vernam hasn't been  very impressive (too greedy). .

Good players tend to be, it's the useless illegitimates who can't wait to get rid of the ball anywhere they can!

What on earth goes on in training during the week we sound clueless

It's gonna take time, -remember the God almighty mess he was left with. As uninspiring as it is lower mid-table would be progress.

He gonna need a few windows to shape us how he really wants, we seriously lacking in some aspects -pace, width etc. However some of the line-ups, tactics and chopping and changing worry me greatly... whereas on other occasions he bang on.

I've seen enough to think we'll be just clear of any dog fight -though I wouldn't put money where my mouth is tbh.

Quoted from ginnywings

As disappointed as i am with our poor start, talk of Jolley getting the sack already is ridiculous.

Its a results based business . and  1 in 7 after a poor pre season . players out of position.. no main striker , signing players that cannot play for one reason or another .Vernam left on the bench ..  players looking at eachother wondering what to do ..we cannot let last season repeat its self as its the trap door to hell. I think  Jolley lives on the crest of a wave , well that wave has gone and he is being found out

Quoted from Ipswin

I don't think anyone is calling for him to be sacked (yet) merely pointing out that this urine poor run can't go on and if it does it must not be allowed to go on as long as it did with Slade.

Agreed. Managers only have a finite amount of time to get things right, but there have already been calls for his head as early as last Saturday on social media. The league doesn't even start settling down until about 10 to 12 games into the season. There is a lot to put right with this team, on and off the pitch, and that won't happen overnight. He should get at least to the next window for me, unless we go on a massive losing streak of course.

Great Town away following yet again.....800+

Quoted from Garth

What on earth goes on in training during the week we sound clueless

That observation has been made a number of times this season. Jolley seems to hide behind the old 'they didn't do what I told them' excuse but surely it should have been drummed into them sufficiently for them to put it into practice on a Saturday, unless of course the system they are being asked to play is just total shite and ineffective (sadly I favour the latter at the moment)

3-0. relegation here we come

Complete and utter flipping excrement defending the whole lot are excrement.

flipping rubbish

urine poor marking after Macca made a great save. Slow rushing out to the second ball and Collins stood around doing jack instead of marking the man in the middle of the box, shot off the inside of the post and in.

Paid a tenner to watch on ifollow. Turned over to the cricket.  Bloody useless town. You don’t deserve those fans that have travelled. Dip into your pockets and pay them back

Stay Calm folks JJ`s on the case ;D

Quoted from Rik e B

It's gonna take time, -remember the God almighty mess he was left with..

How long can that excuse be used FFS, it's a bit like the old 'ITV money' bleat when the going gets tough

He's signed intercourse knows how many players, it's not Slade's mess anymore, it's his team now and it's time it started to show something positive

Always liked non league anyways

We have no idea how to defend or how to score,

One win in  seven is relegation form,

886 fans there let down again,

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Always liked non league anyways

At least we won more than we lost which is what it's about isn't it?

Quoted from promotion plaice

Until he turns it around, or gets the sack. That's football management.  ;)

this could be 6 or more . explain this jolly

Can someone please gag Nigel Lowther - pathetic boring commentator

Quoted from arryarryarry

And a fair few have left already.

Loads more leaving now.

This is flipping garbage

That goal was naughty to be honest

What a set of fukin cowards in red shirts!! The inability and what appears intent to put a challenge in for their 4th is embarrassing

4-0 embarrassing

Davis once again 2 on 1no support and the ball comes back inside once again and Macca has no hope of saving it

So forest green was a one off??...wake up and smell the coffee, we are truly awful,..

We are going down at this rate ....

Jolley have got some explaining to do he needs to turn this around quickly or we will be in the same position as last year and worse go down

we've signed players that are to slow and retained the slower ones too, pace causes panic we time and time again sign slow players. 4-0 absolutely shite scored 5 goals in 7 league game not good enough and conceded 12 up to now.

Embarrassing..

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Jolley have got some explaining to do  

He'll hide behind the 'they didn't play like I told them to' excuse again no doubt, smarmy git. Time to say 'I got it wrong, I didn't have a clue, my fault'

Pathetic and gutless. Words I thought I wouldn't need to use so early in the season.

4-1.. offside sums it up really. JJ on for Clifton who hasn't played well being played out of position in the first half and a bit annonymous in the 2nd like most of the players

Start with a formation that’s hard to beat . 3-5-2 works with players who at the top but sorry L2 players are out their depth with it

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Pathetic and gutless. Words I thought I wouldn't need to use so early in the season.

You should add clueless as well and that isn't the player's fault

Cleethorpes Town  showed how easy we are to score against

Do we sack now or wait ?

Great save Macca, fortunately the 5th goal on the follow up was offside, static defending by town once again

This is shocking

[quote=22]Start with a formation that’s hard to beat . 3-5-2 works with players who at the top but sorry L2 players are out their depth with it [/quote

I’m not sure what today’s formation is but 4-4-2 usually works at this level

There is no way Clifton, Hessenthaler, Welsh and Rose should start in the same team. Steep learning curve is a polite way of putting it.

If Jolley's first words aren't a full apology to the fans that have travelled he can intercourse right off.

Seems we have no pace or guile, not impressed, its going to take some turning around can Jolley do it or is he too wet behind the ears

Quoted from HertsGTFC

[quote=22]

I’m not sure what today’s formation is but 4-4-2 usually works at this level

We started with that 451/433 switched to 442 in the second half

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

We started with that 451/433 switched to 442 in the second half

so the overall effect is the players dont have a clue what or where they are playing now

We have been shite today. Appalling in both boxes. We are lacking all over the shop.

We’re copulated aren’t we??

Tactics mean nothing if a player cannot pass to feet, control a ball and show some grit and determination.

Quoted from Gaffer58

Tactics mean nothing if a player cannot pass to feet, control a ball and show some grit and determination.

Pace also is what we require, and that`s at Boston for a month

All the positivity now gone.
It's embarrassing being a Town fan ☹️☹️

Pleased I returned my ticket and went golfing instead. What a pile of steaming dogshite that was. I know we’re “building something” but can the workmen put the brews down and get some illegitimate work done?

Quoted from Bigdog

Famewo plays with Whitmore, defence plays a high line and looks pacey and solid and less of a gap to Cook. Collins plays with Whitmore, defence plays deeper and looks slow and shaky and Cook gets isolated. Collins dishing out bollockings left right and centre yet misses challenges and headers himself. It seems like he makes his fellow defenders nervy with his presence. Not convinced we need Collins as a starter at all, nearly always the same when he plays nowadays..

Clifton adds nothing defensively as he get's shrugged off the ball too often so why not play more offensively with Vernam. Jolley still baffling me or maybe he's just too conservative and defensively minded..

Spot on

I`m hoping MJ will apologise to the amazing away fans for such a gutless display, they deserve better.

Set up 451 to contain and hit on the break. Get stuffed 4-0, what is all that about? Do we really know what formation to play and which players to play where? Answer no.

Whitmore and Davies are poor. Missed timed passes that I have los tcount of so far this season
Clifton, not good enough
Toothless up front
I could go on
Terrible performance, no shape, no nothing

I honestly dont think Jolley knows what to do. His selections and tactics baffle me

Really blown away by how bad that was. Frowned at the line up before kick off, but had faith, but shouldnt have because my concerns were right. I just think some of the selections and decision jolleys been making havnt been justified based on previous performances.

Hopefully some changes next game, and Thomas upfront and we’ll win.

Only Macca and Rose can hold their heads up after that, the only players to but any sort of effort in.

Quoted from Garth

Pace also is what we require, and that`s at Boston for a month

Can't understand why you would send your best bench option out. That said, at least Thomas is available next week.

Quoted from Gaffer58

Tactics mean nothing if a player cannot pass to feet, control a ball and show some grit and determination.

You could sign Ronaldo, Messi, Kane and a dozen other over-hyped so called world stars but if you then appoint a manager whose experience is limited to the odd game of Subbuteo you aren't going to win many matches

Trying to play academy football at league 2 level doesn’t work, haven’t got the players to build from the back. Wide players scared to put a cross in

Glad we are on the tram and train today as I could not drive home after that performance.

That was embarrassing. Everybody wants to lower their head in shame-Jolly included. Only Macca,Rose and the injured Fox deserve a lift home-I would make the rest walk preferably in the opposite direction. The defense can only back off back off and back off until the opponents shoot. They can only pass sideways or backwards and never to feet. The midfield don't create much and only seem to get in each others way-run about without doing anything. Can't say anything about the forwards because no words can describe them on a family forum. I am very worried-nearly as much as when Slade was here. As far as Jolly is concerned I'm afraid that he is not the great saviour. We made Bury look good when they are not exactly world beaters.  Excuses from Jolly wont do this time-5 points from 7 matches says how good we are.

There were some basic things very wrong.  The lack to pressure on the ball around, and even in the box when defending made it feel like we thought it was still pre-season.

Cook has a lovely touch and technique, but he doesn't have the sheer presence or physicality to be alone up front, let's hope Thomas returning starts to see things fall into place and bring the best out of some of the others.

Fully agree and for all the over hype that Clifton has been getting I’m afraid he’s simply not been good enough although played out of position,people may not like it as he’s one of our own etc but he’s done nothing to suggest he should be starting most weeks

Players played out of position and others not knowing what they are supposed to do,

We called Slade for being clueless I am starting to doubt Jolley because he has not improved this team even after changing most of it.

Maybe Swin was right after all.

Quoted from LH

FFS! Some old codger on humberside just referring to Rose as the "coloured lad".

Sol Campbell ?

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Pathetic and gutless. Words I thought I wouldn't need to use so early in the season.

You have called me that twenty times in this last week

Are the management team just trying to too clever and over complicating things?

You're on a hiding to nothing when players are constantly played out of position, naive tactics, no goal threat and ever-changing formation's....going to be a very long season!

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

So forest green was a one off??...wake up and smell the coffee, we are truly awful,..

What idiot can red cross this.

I can only assume the club captain was injured, when he was taken off just after half time? Can this be confirmed.?

All the bottom 6 teams lost today (as they are now).  There are other poor teams around.

Possibly may not be good enough for this level but even playing out of position he did far more than Woolford who was garbage.

In the words of the late Frank Carson - 'it's the way you tell'em'  ;D

And guess what, he scored Boston's first goal today in their 2-0 win at Stockport County and a certain Mr.Nathan Arnold scored their second. ;)
