Good strong team, the line up I think we all expected


UTM

Hard to argue with that line up after the last few weeks

Definitely our best eleven. We're looking settled of late and it's paying dividends. Come on Town!

Clements starts for Cheltenham with Jones in bench

Our bench looks strong with good options for MJ.

It's always a positive sign when the starting eleven becomes predictable. Continuity is a great indicator

Anybodys I follow also not working?

Notts County just lost so no matter what happens today we will still be at least 6 points above the relegation places.

I'm just getting a black box on both the video and the live commentary

Yep, both video and commentary are copulated for me. Normally works with no bother. Very annoying.

dont think u need VPN when abroad anyway come on Town!

ifollow support just advised me to turn off my adblocker. I did and now the video is working so try that if you're having issues.

No commentary in Hillsborough!

Just checked Humberside and it says "not online"
Not sure if that's relevant

How we playing?

Weve had 5 shots to there 1 so far. Just got to make some count.

We've had 5 shots to their 1

Thomas just spurned a chance according to the commentary.....could have / should have scored from the sounds of things

Quoted from bawarmy

How we playing?

Sounds like we are on top so far.

No adblocker to turn off. So frustrating. Twitter has large gaps up to 17 min. We can put a man on the moon.................

You never know with tonduer he always seems to give the away side the best ffs there it is

1-0 down....against the run of play

balls, shot into the box takes a deflection and bouncesaway from Macca. Poor defending by town

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Poor defending from Vernam.

Come on Town - could do with at least a point from this one

unlucky there

Anyone that thinks we are safe need to give their head a wobble, Cheltenham are struggling this season.

Macclesfield losing thank feck.

Asante just scored for Chester

Osborne for Solihull

https://mobile.twitter.com/MJDixon81/status/1071427328721465344   The goal

We were pressing well with the midfield close to Thomas but the 30 yard gap between midfield and the defence is our achilles heel. Far too much space for them to turn and face our goal. And it's cost us, Vernam gets beat, which happens, and then they've got time to look up and shoot and yet again defenders diving in and blocking rather than getting tight. This space needs shortening for sure. We just gravitate backwards to the edge of our box all the time..

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

Asante just scored for Chester

Osborne for Solihull

Nobody gives a excrement if Chester and Solihull scored. Stop wanking over people who don't even play for us anymore.

??)

Gone to pot since the goal

Missed chances costing us again so far

well sounded like we have had two good chances and not taken them and they have been dangerous especially on the right...that goal clip they had 3 v 2 which led to Vernam chasing the ball which gave the lad the opportunity to knock it past him before striking it.

Too many crosses coming in by the sounds of it so the shape/formation we have is being picked off.

Quoted from Hagrid

Gone to pot since the goal

Ten minutes before that really when we started giving them too much time and space behind our midfield..

We're still in this, but since they scored we've been bad.

someone needs to give Broom a good kick in the second half, make him think twice about charging forward, that or we just mark him  ;D

Quoted from Hagrid

Gone to pot since the goal

Agree, up to the goal we looked the better team without really threatening their goal.

Now we are looking poor and they look the more likely to get another.

Hope MJ sorts them out.

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Give him Ahkeem to chase, that could keep him quiet.  :)

Watching on ifollow in holland, think jolley will be frustrated with some of the players at times there. Kept giving it away at throw ins over and over throwing to no one, lots of moments where cheltenham players werent closed down fast enough. Shame coz weve played some really nice football at times.

Just need to stick closer to a couple of their players who are causing trouble, and stop doing little things that are letting them get into the game because we’d be absolutely dominating otherwise

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

I hope at half-time whoever is marking Broom is getting a bit of stick from Jolley.

I’m not allowed to talk about ex players but you are??

Palmer sent off for foul and abusive language. The girl private ought to keep his fcuking fat gob shut.

And Rhys Browne scores against FGR  ;D

Goooa

Get in!!!

Embleton makes it 1-1

Get innnnnnn

Get in!!!!

Changes for them has helped us nicely

Get in!

Let’s have a winner - come on

Is anybody getting commentary on ifollow or Hullberside?

Come on Town !
UTM

That'll do nicely

All over them since Cheltenham took their best players off. That was very nice of their manager.

And our goal will stop them feigning injury and time wasting........cheats.

The goal has defo lifted us - the 2nd is coming

Quoted from buckstown

Is anybody getting commentary on ifollow or Hullberside?

I'm listening Humberside DAB near York

Ifollow for me

utm

Cook on for Vernam

Anybody else noticed that since the so called strength and fitness coach has left we've got fitter??

61 mins:   Cheltenham sub due to injured player.

62 mins:   Ditto

63 mins:  Town score!

(A very good 3 mins for us).

Hope we've got a good sell-on clause with Dembele. Just got another forPosh.

Let’s have Akheem on

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Hope we've got a good sell-on clause with Dembele. Just got another forPosh.

Think I saw we have.

Argh huge chance for pringle missed

Ooh. Pringle could just have scored.

Hope Jolley impresses on any January striker target that it's not like we aren't making the chances to score.

Town getting chances but we have to be careful not to lose this by going for the win

Jones on now

Penalty to Cheltenham in injury time 😞

Mitch is on

5 mins added time

Done it again. Bad change from Jolley and we left the left hand side open

2-1.

FFS

flipping hell town that was STUPID

2-1 gutted

FFS!! a valuable point p1sssd away......

Sh1t

Missed loads of chances in the second half to put ourselves up 2-1, then shoot ourselves in the face by giving away a moronic injury time penalty. flipping great.

Gutting

Soft peno according to the guy with JT

Annoying that to concede after we’ve had so many chances

Oh and we took Pringle off leaving the space on that
Side

Quoted from Hagrid

Who ever is red crossing this tell me im wrong. Stupid change allowing their right wing back all the space in the world just like in the first half. intercourse sake

b*****ks

No idea what he's on about, was a blatant foul inside the box. I'd be incredulous if it wasn't given against us. We had half a shout for a penalty for a push on Cook earlier in the half, but it was nowhere near as clear cut as the one we just gave away.

not fair result game could have gone either way

Disappointing outcome after we more or less bossed the second half

Quoted from Hagrid

All that right wing back did with the vacant space was cross the ball in. It's up to the defenders to not stupidly foul the opposition forwards when defending crosses.

The space we’d not given him all 2nd half and he’d done intercourse all. Gave him one oppurtunity after giving him all the space in the world and it cost us. I blame Jolley completely. He did it at crewe and its done it here

Well that's f***ing Satutrday night pis***ng ruined then. Get stuffed.(hang)

Don’t know what Jolley was doing with that substitution there, 5 minutes to go away at 1-1 and he takes of pringle whos marking broome. Just unnecessarily caused us change and trouble and not even for someone who wouldve change the game in some meaningful way like holding it up more or being more defensively sound

If you think Davis hacking Jones down in the box is Jolley's fault you need to give your head a wobble. You can't blame Jolley for a player giving a penalty away, the same way you can't blame Jolley for Thomas and Pringle both missing fantastic chances to put us 2-1 ahead before that happened.

Can you read? Where have i said that. I said he’s cost us with a stupid substition just like he did at crewe.

Yeovil lose after letting in 2 injury time goals. Morecambe concede 2 late goals to drop 2 points and we were overdue a late sickener so not as bad as it could have been.

Fukingbolox!

Waste of three points right there. We've completely bossed the second half, played decent football and just chucked away the chance to climb the table.

Well, MJ ballsed up taking Pringle off, but in all fairness we should have buried Cheltenham second half.... disappointming result but we cannot fault the effort of the team, not going to kick the dig on this result, we knew it would be a season of ups n downs...could be worse, could be a notts county supporter...

Then who do we blame, Fenty for the player budget ?

Oh dear, never mind what a shame.

One step forward two steps back.

Cheltenham only winners in bottom 10.  This reduces any damage after our loss.

Yeovil were winning until 92nd minute at home - then decided to lose.  (They would have gone above us).

Parslow moment....Rose on to "shore" up presumably and opens the game for their dangerman to come back in....regardless of Hendries actions if the supply line wasnt there the ball wouldnt have come in.

Sounded like the first half formation and tinkering didnt allow us to settle, sounded much better second half so such a p1sser to drop all points when sounding the better side.

Hi Jonny! I see that’s your first post since Nov 7th, when we lost 2-1 to Mansfield, which was coincidentally our last defeat! Where have you been the last few games?

I hate losing to Cheltenham, especially so in those circumstances. Should have put the game to bed earlier, but there is a reason both sides are near the bottom, and it could have gone either way.

Not done any damage to our league placing, which is about the only positive i can take from losing to those feckers.

Quoted from Grantley

Hi Jonny! I see that’s your first post since Nov 7th, when we lost 2-1 to Mansfield, which was coincidentally our last defeat! Where have you been the last few games?

I thought just the same. Also unsure how a defeat following 7 points from 9 and two FA Cup wins equates to one step forward and two back.

Forget, we will hammer them at home. UTFM

At BP supporting the team and working..

Thanks for your concern buddy.

Gutting, but the penalty was on the other side of the pitch to their right wing back so not sure how the sub can be blamed.

Jolley just been on RH so here's a brief summary of his interview

Frustrated as he felt we were the better team

We created chances & should have scored more

He was non-committal on their pen.... wouldn't discuss with JT

Said our aim was to invite them on so we could counter attack

Should have capitalised on our good start

Broom goal a scenario we're familiar with?

Defended well most of the game

Pleased with Thomas

Felt at 1-1 we could get at least a draw

Thought Pringle was likely to score with the chance he had

Wants to have a look at the Cook foul and no penalty

Got to play keep playing well but need to take something from the game


Onwards & upwards then

Nope. Too upset with the result today Mr Swing

Quoted from Hagrid

What you’re saying about the substitution and the subsequent time on the ball is probably spot on Hagrid, I guess we’ll never know if Pringle would’ve stopped the ball coming in had he still been on the pitch. But to solely blame MJ for the defeat is an angry overreaction in my opinion. There’s lots of reasons we didn’t win today, it was one of those games, either side could’ve stolen it at the death.

Possibly so mate, just frustrated as we completely dominated that second period, should have won and we’ve got nothing

I note that Yeovil have lost 4 straight in a row, worst form in the League
