Line-up confirmed
MARINERS: McKeown, Hewitt, Waterfall, Öhman, Davis, Gibson, Hessenthaler, Cook, Robson, Green, Rose. ON THE BENCH: Russell, Starbuck, Pollock, Clifton, Whitehouse, Cardwell.

Looks like 5-3-2

No Hanson?

Quoted from lee65

No Hanson?

Must change my goalscorer prediction   :)

Could switch to 4-4-2 in attack and drop to a 5-3-2 whilst defending, 2 best crossers of the ball in Hewitt and Robson ..
Have to assume Hanson is ill or get a minor injury...
Need to use Roses pace and put some pressure on their defence but can't help thinking this could be a backs against the wall game tonight...

Not sure why, but, I fancy us to take it to extra time at least!

Where's the smelling salts!

Wingers + Hanson = goals

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Not sure why, but, I fancy us to take it to extra time at least!

Where's the smelling salts!

Next to that bottle of whiskey your drinking   ;D

Quoted from lee65

No Hanson?

Do I not like that! 🙄

Wright still not yet fit to play.  

Let’s hope that  no star winger, no Hanson = a win for us.

They've just showed Hanson walking in to Rodney Parade with the rest of the players on TV and he looked absolutely fine so it's weird he isn't even in the squad.

Might be a mistake, Hanson clearly there

no width little skill not much hope I think.  :o

when we last played them maybe AL is hoping a change in personnel to stutter their tactics.

At least weve got cardwell on the bench👍👍😀  and the commentary is in English!

According to Beeb Pollock is starting?

Where’s ogbu?

Quoted from tanga_the_indestructible

According to Beeb Pollock is starting?

Yep, walking out with the starting 11. Looks like Ohman isn't involved

Are we down to 5 subs?

Welsh are proper up themselves aren't they

What do people see in Hewitt????

flipping come on

Hanson sat on the bench but not in the squad. Dont get it

Wonder if Hanson pulled up after the team sheet was submitted

Davis in right back Hewitt in centre mid

Hessentiler
McKeyown
Blun Dell Park

Wow passing!!!

Quoted from LH

Hessentiler
McKeyown
Blun Dell Park

‘Matt Green who used to play for Newport’

Commentator just said Messi stuff
Think he was talking about Hess

How many away fans?  2,000?  2?  0?

Quoted from Yossarian

How many away fans?  2,000?  2?  0?

25 apparently.  Wow.   I'm surprised.

At least we got a shoutout from the commentators for "Best fish & chips in the football league" 😂

Stop giving away stupid flipping free kicks. We know these will just throw themselves down

If you listen to the BBC Wales commentator you’d think we where playing Real Madrid 😌

We're creating chances.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

If you listen to the BBC Wales commentator you’d think we where playing Real Madrid 😌

They are the best football team in Newport to be fair to them.

Shots on target count is mounting up.

You can listen to radio Humberside commentary online whilst watching with the sound down. Just needs a little syncing first. Better than listening to the welsh commentators.

The commentators make it sound like these sort of matches Newport have to just complete the formalities for them to be then drawn against the “Big teams”.
I like to think if it was on bbc England shire the commentary wouldn’t be quite so biased.

I always find the commentaries on all the other home nations national teams tends to be a bit more partisan than England’s coverage is. I suppose this is their equivalent of JT and Buckley commentating on it so you can expect it to be positive, balanced and unantagonistic...

Who’s this Mackee own in goal, or have I been pronouncing it wrong for years?

Noticeable how much higher up the pitch Hess is tonight .

A bit of a giant killing if we manage to beat the famous Exciles

It’s a pretty dismal spectacle for the neutral but I think we’ve done well in this half. Tight defensively, tried to pass it and had slightly more of the attacking play.

Newport have got Lennie Lawrence on the bench!!

Is that Lennie Lawrence on the bench?!

;D ;D ;D

Masterminding another giant killing  ;D

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Noticeable how much higher up the pitch Hess is tonight .

Clear change of responsibilities for Hess tonight ....so far anyway

Could do with a goal here. Newport wont be as poor after a half time b0llocking methinks

Lord only knows how fans follow their team on tv only. It’s boring.

Got to say I don't really like watching Town on TV

Always feel more tense when they're on the box than I ever do at a game itself

Maybe because I'm not giving vent every minute

The crossing is atrocious

My God this is poor.
We're the slightly less worse of the two sides. Robson's crosses are atrocious!

0-0

Is this our first live game since the playoff final?

Think the commentator has been quite evenly balanced. He says we've both been poor and uninspiring

At least watching Town on telly you’ve got hundreds of channels to choose from whereas at the match you have to watch the match or the boats.

Quoted from Heisenberg

Newport have got Lennie Lawrence on the bench!!

Yeah clearly thinking about how he can spend someone else's money when Newport inevitably win and draw a big team.

I actually think we edged we edged the first half. Two very limited teams though and proper dull to watch.

2 woeful teams. Id say them more woeful.

Quoted from LH

At least watching Town on telly you’ve got hundreds of channels to choose from whereas at the match you have to watch the match or the boats.

Whoa...there's the trains too you know!!!

I hate Newport, Christ Robson is shite

I was just about to say the same thing about some of our crosses tonight - although nothing wrong with the one from Hess that Cook hit the bar with ( even though had it gone in it would have been ruled out )

Not too disappointed with our first half performance though.... pleased to see us up the field and not camped in our own half

UTM

According to the co commentator Nathan Blake this game is there for the taking for Newport. Nice one, given they have looked second best of 2 poor teams.

Quoted from supertown

The crossing is atrocious

Too much air in the ball   ;)

I’ve just explained to my sons girlfriend watching her first Grimsby game, this is what they do for a living. They don’t go to work in the morning, this is their job. This is what they are good at.
She’s amazed.

From their confidence you would think that the national team had just qualified for the European Championships last night - and just up the road.

Jesus christ. I seriously hope the 25 Town fans who are at the game live in Newport.  Anyone in the ground tonight deserves a medal.

Play poor and beat them on penalties, that’ll do me.

UTM

Co commentator needs to shutup. All he’s done is moan. Not sure what game he thinks he’s coming to watch, Robsons crossing so so wasteful, rose anonymous (again)!

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

I hate Newport, Christ Robson is shite

He isn’t. Come on. It’s just he’s let himself down with a couple of deliveries.

Football’s always better when both teams are crap.

How can pro footballers consistently fail to put a decent cross in. 2 poor sides but Town have a slight edge on the  first half showing
We need a cup run so we can recruit better quality in January. God it’s boring! Bring back Buckley style football please

Gibson and Robsom in competition for the worst crosser. Considering the players available, I think we've done OK.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Whoa...there's the trains too you know!!!

If the second half is as bad as the first it’ll be I’m a Town fan get me out of here for me.

Well we've defended ok and haven't conceded so that's a positive. Maybe try and get Akheem wide and some better delivery into Cook and Green

I will say again, Newport lost at home to Salford in their last home game.  Newport were awful.  That is all we are up against, if we can only seize the game by the scruff of the neck.

Quoted from bawarmy

I’ve just explained to my sons girlfriend This is what they are good at.
.

I'm not surprised she's amazed, disbelief might be a better word  ;)

Quoted from LH

If the second half is as bad as the first it’ll be I’m a Town fan get me out of here for me.

Well, for now the dogs are safe ..bloody awful first half..only positive I can take is that we've had more shots and we haven't conceded...

Them 25 nutters at newport deserve a medal, im warm at home watching it and im dreading the walk up the stairs to bed nevermind the 5 hr drive home.

As much as we've not done anything fantastic up front, at least so far we've kept Podge quiet

Is the dreadful crossing a reflection of a dreadful pitch?

The Wales women’s manager seems pleased to be invited out for the night.

He said 25 Towns  -  defin.more

Wow Gabby Logan has let herself go

Most impressive performance so far is the padding from the BBC Wales presenter at half time

What's going on with the delay?

A drone apparently.... come on move along; nothing to see here

Off we go then.... second half where if we can keep it tight at the back again we have every chance of going through

UTM

Even 1st half with not much threat from either side,

This could go all the way to pens.

The commentators are droning on about something.

We might moan about the commentators on Humberside from time to time, but this lot are wrist slittingly depressing

Quoted from golfer

He said 25 Towns  -  defin.more

They said 25 tickets sold, but there will be some that pay on the day.

Moronic defending.

Sucker punch

Had to be..... Podge

From a corner. Nice one Town.

Well that’s that. I’m a celeb starts in 5 haha

Time to focus on the league then ....... again some decent effort so far by the players but zero quality.

Lol Amond of course.

Gutted, game over for me.
Now let's bring in that new manager.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Sucker punch

Had to be..... Podge

Good player, shame he doesn't play for Town..oh hang on...

Don’t think we deserve to be behind. Whenever we try get the ball down and play they just foul us 🙄

Apprentice starts in 5.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Gutted, game over for me.
Now let's bring in that new manager.

And new players. Really poor as usual

Dreadful defending

Get Cardwell on now!!!!!!

Absolutely sh1t defending. Game over.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Get Cardwell on now!!!!!!

They have.

We'll be alright now Cardwell is on. FFS

Maybe we'll have to be a bit more positive now, lets face it Newport haven't been world beaters

Quoted from Mikoo

Don’t think we deserve to be behind. Whenever we try get the ball down and play they just foul us 🙄

We do because their keeper hasn't been tested at all. Doesn't matter if we've had the ball in and around their box a lot - haven't carved out a single clear cut chance.

Not really sure how sticking Cardwell on improves our chances of scoring but i'm happy for him to make me look like a mug.

Cardwell on
Gotta be an away win now

Quoted from psgmariner

Apprentice starts in 5.

Cardwell?  ;)

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Get Cardwell on now!!!!!!

FFS Limbrick it was a joke.......... :-/

Hopefully he can look gorgeous and run around a bit without touching it like usual.

End of, we look really poor and now hoping the most hapless striker we have on the books can score...afraid it's game over ladies n gents😠😠😠

They were never going to be as poor second half. Town are  shoite

Oh well at least the crickets on now

They havent been any better Ginny... it was just excrement defending

Rose & Cardwell up top. Brilliant

Quoted from psgmariner

Apprentice starts in 5.

11 or so candidates struggle to impress prospective new boss in a series of disappointing challenges.

If we don’t find something in our overall play
If we don’t improve quickly, quality wise in the next few games
This will be a relegation dogfight season
Newport are v poor but we are worse and we all know very little chance of an equaliser
All is not well with my club
Feel Sad

flipping hell we've been dire since going behind.

We need a goal so we bring on one of the worst strikers seen at blundell park ever.

Next joke.

Quoted from Hagrid

Rose & Cardwell up top. Brilliant

Got us an equaliser at Northampton last season.... but I admit not worked out much since

How are we still persisting with Hewitt in midfield? He's a barely serviceable backup fullback and an absolutely dire central midfielder. Playing him there over Clifton is grossly irresponsible.

I guess Limbrick is going to be the same as Wilko was after Slade. We all assumed it would could not get worse because Slade had gone. It obviously can get worse in this scenario as well.

Quoted from Chrisblor

How are we still persisting with Hewitt in midfield? He's a barely serviceable backup fullback and an absolutely dire central midfielder. Playing him there over Clifton is grossly irresponsible.

Clifton isnt any better.

This is absolutely bloody dreadful.

Quoted from Ipswin

Good player, shame he doesn't play for Town..oh hang on...

Ooh! Record’s getting sticky again!

25 away.

This is so excrement

We’ve got nothing. Hewitt in midfield is t*rd. Cardwell a waste of time. Limerick sat motionless on the bench looking defeated. Happy days.  

There is absolutely nothing. Defence is shaky, midfield non existent, not able to string two passes together, and the forwards seem disinterested. The last ball for Town has been truly dreadful today.

Today?

We played better as a non league team

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

Ooh! Record’s getting sticky again!

Truth hurts eh? Amond is 10 times a better player than all the current so called Town strikers put together.

The current strikers are total shite

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

We played better as a non league team

We had a better team in the last season of non-league

Game over I think were getting worse and worse

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

We played better as a non league team

To be honest this isn't too dissimilar to our play off semi defeat at their place, the year they got promoted

A few glimpses of hope, but this is really worrying

No spark and not much creativity

Strikers not really missed much as they have not had much to miss

And now we are lumping it to nobody.

Highlight of the game there from Robson.

What on earth has gone wrong, we had the best start to a season in years and now this.

Quoted from Ipswin

Truth hurts eh? Amond is 10 times a better player than all the current so called Town strikers put together.

The current strikers are total shite

I don’t see anyone saying he isn’t, but you keep banging on about it.

I’d like to think most professional strikers can hit a goal from 12 yards unmarked.

Newport said that tonight is the 5th game on this pitch in the last week.  They are used to playing on a ploughed field - we are not.

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Newport said that tonight is the 5th game on this pitch in the last week.  They are used to playing on a ploughed field - we are not.

We have to check with air traffic control that we’re ok to play our matches. The pitch is not an issue.

In terms of game changers we came into the game with f**k all on the bench.

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

I’d like to think most professional strikers can hit a goal from 12 yards unmarked.

I totally agree, shame ours can't

Rubbish!

Same old same old

Vernam, Hanson and Ogbu missing...that’s a forward line right there.

They’re showing this game to prisoners at Guatanamo Bay.

This football club needs a total clear out top to bottom. It is embarrassing

Got to be the worst Town strike force I can ever remember. Have they got 3 goals between them ? I'm truly shocked at how bad we are.

At least half those players look way below par. Given that we’ve got no budget left, I don’t fancy us to strengthen in January. How are we in this mess??

I've seen more teeth in a 10 year old hen!!

The ref needs to learn, that’s not where you wear your free kick spray !

A striker off for a midfielder?!?!?!?

Clifton on for Rose....

For a team that was scoring for fun earlier in the season, the wheels have come right off

Thats it take a striker off and put a midfielder on while we are loosing

Hewitt is so poor

Created a good team jolley didnt he...!

Quoted from chaos33

A striker off for a midfielder?!?!?!?

I thought it was Rose who went off?

HEWITT is f@cking awful

Final throw of the dice

Whitehouse on for Hewitt....

On this showing not one of the players should be wearing a Town shirt,what has gone wrong?

soooooooooo many soft freekicks given for Newport bloody joke.  More competitiveness in sunday league.

Where is the fight and the passion?

So many needless free kicks given away.

At least loosing is better than losing.

Does this put any rumours of the dressing room being lost and we are just shite?

Limbrick was obviously part of the problem on this showing.

Quoted from Hagrid

Created a good team jolley didnt he...!

I swear I heard him sniggering

Andreas clifton on.

What is it with Robson's crossing tonight.... been terrible

Disgusting free kick. Why are you playing professional football if you can't even put a cross in from a free kick without spannering it straight out for a goal kick?

Hurry up and blow the whistle this is absolutely dire

Need a new midfield and strike force in January but isn’t going to happen, the midfield must be the worst in memory and as for the strikers that’s a misrepresentation as we don’t have any. And yet another  crap cross🤬

Oh dear - how many b's in abismal. Sunday League hoofball.

Robson? Not sure what he brings TBH.

Town are a side that is completely over coached get a throw in in the Newport half 4 minutes away from going out of the cup and we're too busy trying to "Keep us shape" rather than launching into the box for the cavalry to get after.

Nathan Blake had it right the side has no confidence or idea.  

Lost track of how many absolute shite crosses there have been tonight, that free kick was in a good position What a waste

flipping USELESS ROBSON!
intercourse OFF!

Thank intercourse we'll be spared a complete humiliation on proper BBC2 a week on Friday.

Utter dogsh1t

Makes you want to put your fist through the tele

That's 90 minutes of your life you won't get back.

At least we can concentrate on the League

Didn’t like the fact that Rose was having a good laugh on the bench after being taken off.

Robson aint put a good ball in all game why doesn't someone tell him to let someone else have a go.  So frustrating watching this crap.  I think even I would have held my own in this game.

Pollock off

A nightmare evening now :(

That just about tops off a excrement week. As for smiling when you’re subbed off, I’d make Rose walk home.

2 minutes To go we should be bombarding their goal. We are doing no such thing. In the words of Jolley you are a fooking  disgrace

Make no mistake we are heading for a relegation battle.

Gutless and pathetic.

2-0

What a joke

Quoted from LH

They’re showing this game to prisoners at Guatanamo Bay.

They're showing it to Ian Wright tomorrow night as his bush tucker challenge.  

Dear oh dear

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Pollock off

A nightmare evening now :(

He was the only one who looked interested all night

Starting to wish I hadn't bought tickets for Saturday now....frigging beyond awful..time to dump limbrick and start anew and quick...this is a relegation performance if I ever I saw one,!!

If someone doesn’t sort them out we’re gonna go down.

Disgusting. The whole club is a complete shambles. Players, coaching staff, major shareholder, directors, press officer, ground manager. Just bin them all off and start again.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

That's 90 minutes of your life you won't get back.

At least we can concentrate on the League

On staying in the league you mean?

Absolute shite.

That's as poor a 45 minutes as I can remember seeing from any Towm team and I was at Hartlepool.

Get on ITV- I'm not a footballer get me out of here!!!

Absolute shite.

Hewitt excrement
Robson excrement
Gibson excrement
Cardwell excrement
Clifton overrated
Macca legend
Waterfall hmmm
Cook what is his best position?
Pollock potential
Hess love him
Whiehouse excrement
Rose hmmm
Davis excrement
Robson excrement

Any i missed involved tonight apologies.

We need a bloke in to give this lot a kick up the rectum and make sure some of these never get a sniff again.

Utterly shite. Offered nothing.
Hewitt, Rose and Cardwell all well short of the standard. Didn’t help that we had a few injuries but we were awful.

Season over bar our now annual relegation battle games at home in March and April. BBC Wales commentary telling the world what we’ve known for weeks.

Diafuckingbollokingshittingembarrassment

Withdraw from the league and close the club down.

f+++ing sheit  . dont need a new ground  where we are going . we need a whole new team not a couple in jan

Utter shite. Get those shirts off your backs

I truly despair. We are a laughing stock. No heart, no passion, no skill, no hope.
For me it all comes down to 1 man who took over when we were in the championship

All Newport have done is conned the bloody ref with their crappy oh I've been fouled tactics.  No confidence in the players whatsoever.  Thank god there is only 1 relegation place.  532 doesn't work AL

Real Newport 2 - Grimsby Town 0

Joking apart we have a lot of things to sort out and fundamental problems, this side is lacking so  much direction and idea and look paralyzed be fear....... not the players fault they are clearly trying but Jolley and clearly lets be honest on tonight's showing Limbrick have a lot to answer for.

I know we have a few missing but that was woeful.

  

Last kick of the night...

Gibson through on goal and skies it

Absolutely terrible second half

No national TV dismantling by an unbeaten level 8 team.  Small mercies for us but no chance of a big pay-day.

My brain hurts just thinking about how bad that was....

Quoted from bawarmy

I truly despair. We are a laughing stock. No heart, no passion, no skill, no hope.
For me it all comes down to 1 man who took over when we were in the championship

Like that clown will ever reflect on his own role in the club's decline under his tenure. Managers, fans, players, radio bloody humberside, he'll always find someone else to blame before himself.

I’m not one to use expletives but that was f****** rubbish.

Quoted from Meza

All Newport have done is conned the bloody ref with their crappy oh I've been fouled tactics.  No confidence in the players whatsoever.  Thank god there is only 1 relegation place.  532 doesn't work AL

Can’t blame this for us being utter gash

disgraceful. embarrassing. useless. that's how I would sum Newports performance up, how they only won by 2 goals, they should be ashamed of themselves

How much has this shower of sheit cost us tonight .Glad i am out the country on saturday

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

No national TV dismantling by an unbeaten level 8 team.  Small mercies for us but no chance of a big pay-day a certain loan being reduced further .

Quoted from Meza

Are you flipping normal. Conned the ref my bottom. Get real

Quoted from psgmariner

Withdraw from the league and close the club down.

But John hasn't got all his money back yet.....

I’m guessing Limbrick didn’t want the job after all. Terrible team selection, awful tactics and even worse substitutions. He doesn’t have a clue, let’s hope the board choose a decent replacement in the next couple of weeks.

Town's man of the match was 100% Hanson

Well that was no worse than Stevenage so the writings been on the wall for a while

At least Fenty was spared this embarrassment if he was in Nottingham tonight.....

Quoted from bawarmy

Can’t blame this for us being utter gash

I'm not but it had an impact to the game that I watched Handley was different 2nd half all the fouls they got were soft as excrement.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Like that clown will ever reflect on his own role in the club's decline under his tenure. Managers, fans, players, radio bloody humberside, he'll always find someone else to blame before himself.

Our formation was to blame.... if only we could get all those ducks in a row

Oh for a forward line of Arnold, Bogles and Amond with Dis in midfield, how come we had much better players in the Conference years?

Cardwell and Rose will never be good enough, Hewitt is not a midfield player and Cook was never in the game, Robson erratic throughout so Hess basically on his own.

Defence acceptable except for the first goal which was shocking organisation, nothing tonight makes you want to go to BP next Tuesday

Any potential manager that brings on harry cardwell when we need a goal should never be in consideration ever again.

Quoted from Tinymariner

I’m guessing Limbrick didn’t want the job after all. Terrible team selection, awful tactics and even worse substitutions. He doesn’t have a clue, let’s hope the board choose a decent replacement in the next couple of weeks.

Quoted from Meza

Really?
Thought they at least had a game plan & guess what- a striker!!

The amount of times people quote dodgy tactics,bad refs,poor pitch etc etc. when there is a loss.
Laughable really.

Come on Town
Surely to god we have more in our tank than that
Players
Coaching Staff
Management
Directors
Big Big pow wow needed
I really really do not want to hon back to Dover and the like
But on that performance at this moment I cannot see how we will avoid it
Feelings complete opposite to how we felt after Morecombe and Walsall away
On that showing Limbrick we need Tisdale or someone
Not Nolan please

Quoted from Meza

I'm not but it had an impact to the game that I watched Handley was different 2nd half all the fouls they got were soft as excrement.

Garbage

I didn't really expect much from tonight's game and I know Limbrick hasn't had much time as manager but I did expect possibly a change to the way we may set up and play but that second half was possibly the worst we have played all season utter flipping garbage.

Whether we have another manager lined up I haven't heard but defeat in the next two games Limbrick has to go and someone with new ideas brought in so they have plenty of time to see how excrement some of our players are.

Some of those players didn't bust a gut for him tonight.

Quoted from TAGG

What do people see in Hewitt????

We are an embarrassment.
That was as bad as its been for the last few years.
No idea whatsoever.
excrement excrement and excrement.

Quoted from Meza

picked players that have hardly played a formation the fans hate, I read on twitter someone reckons appointment on Friday will be Nolan.

Which one though? Coleen? Knowing our track record it'll be Bernie.

Sack the manager-sack the board-sack the stewards-sack the ball-boys-sack the prog. sellers-sack the gatemen-sack everybody except her that dishes the Bovril out.  ---on second thoughts sack her as well.

waterfall& pollock aside thought the rest abysmal not including macca in that i mean outfield players , really really struggling to count how many times robson overhit crosses , sum's us up at end gibson blazing over excrement night all round

So many waste of space deadweights for the new man to sort / clear out.

How Rose ever gets in the side I dion't know, he's been given too long as it is. Please ship him out in January Mr new Manager whoever you are.

I wonder how many of those 20 or 30 applicants Fenty claimed will still want the job after tonight?

Jolley must be pissing himself laughing

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Any potential manager that brings on harry cardwell when we need a goal should never be in consideration ever again.

There was no other forward player on the bench

If he'd have replaced Green with anyone else then he'd have been absolutely slated

Why do our professional footballers worse then other teams professional footballers.

Where was Ogbu?

Injured, don't know about Hanson though🤔

How many seasons since Poojah's famous rant and absolutely nothing has changed.

At least we have been spared the embarrassment of a defeat by a team in the 8th tier

Quoted from fishcake63

I've been a fan of Robson but tonight he was as dreadful as the rest especially his free kicks so I couldn't understand whilst at 0-1 and a free kick near the corner flag why the intercourse was he and Hesenthaler stood over the ball it doesn't take too to take a free kick.

He then blasted it into touch.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

There was no other forward player on the bench

If he'd have replaced Green with anyone else then he'd have been absolutely slated

He would have done better bringing me on.

One man implies we’ve got a bottom scraping budget. One man says it’s top 12. Look at that squad, these performances... with at least 10 players who look seriously below par and tell me where the evidence points...?

Quoted from chaos33

Don't normally agree with you Swin but I reckon we are going to be in another relegation battle.

I can hardly put into words how bad that was. We were terrible, and i actually think most League 2 teams would have beaten Newport tonight, I thought they were garbage too!

We’re in trouble. Completely missed opportunity for Limbrick. In one showing, he’s messed up his chances. Fenty needs to get this right or that single relegation spot is a serious possibility.

I'm almost lost for words....if that's limbricks idea of going back to basics then we're f@cked...
Maybe I was wrong when I said he no input into tactics and team selection or maybe Jolley started to listen to him and that's why we've gone backwards,!!..
Who knows?...all I know us we need someone of Tisdales ilk quickly, possibly before the weekend because as I have said... limbrick ain't the man to move us forwards....and I say that mainly on how bad his decision making was tonight re substitutions..

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Not really a surprise is it.

Laws
Woods
Scott & Hurst
Bignot
Slade
Jolley

6 rolls of the dice and the best we've had is a 4 or a 5. And that was re-rolled several times.

Common denominator?

Laws?

All the excrement Akheem Rose gets. Green is no better
Fair enough he isn't up to standard but he's got about 20 pro games under his belt and I'd imagine one of the lowest paid players in the squad. Decent cheap player to bring on from the bench with 20mins to go. A few years younger than vernam, I'd have expected him to be the one loaned out
Greens a poor man's Wes Thomas - might be worth trying to loan him out. Stealing a living for me - what numpty signed him

Before the game I thought the manager had until the end of the season. After that i think its more like 1 game, 2 at most

Summed up for me with the close up of Rose laughing with Limbrick just after he had been subbed.
Get the new bloke in. AND SOON.

Quoted from chaos33

One man implies we’ve got a bottom scraping budget. One man says it’s top 12. Look at that squad, these performances... with at least 10 players who look seriously below par and tell me where the evidence points...?

Wouldn't be the first time a Tory has lied on camera

Quoted from arryarryarry

Laws?

KM means Nicky Law

The one who was brought in when we were nowhere near the bottom but took us down from the third to the fourth tier

I think you could pick Jesus Christ Almighty, assisted by Brian Clough (or would it be the other way round?), in the manager's job at Grimsby but it would not make any difference.

Not only that but Hanson was pissing himself at something...and we were 1-0 down at that point...looks like even the players think we're a laughing stock...great init!!!....

It's the Grimsby Superfluous 'S' innit.

I saw something on Twitter earlier from an account called @Jim Fenly factchecker and he said we have a top 7 budget so it must be true.

LImbrick, Fenty and the rest of that pile of shite players should put their hands in their pockets and refund those 93 hardy souls who went down to Newport tonight.

First time I've smiled since we lost  when I read this Rodley  ;)

You misspelt Woodss then. ;)

Not Nolan Please
Love this club but don’t Love how I feel at the moment

We may have a top 7 budget, but if it's all gone on Hansen then the rest of the squad are probably not top half league 2 players.

:B

I've lived down south too long. Shoot me if I ever say 'exaample' like that woman on the One Show who claimed she was from Grimsby.

I would suspect, Hanson, Green and Waterfall are costing a pretty penny thus leaving not a lot left in the pot for any more quality than what we presently have.....this squad is pretty much what we have until the end of the season so whoever comes in needs to be a good seamstress because they've got to try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear

Do you seriously think we have?

It's only since Monday that we've been fed this line.... we've always just been told it's competitive

It's only since MJ's rant about the budget that JF has come along with this line

It may well be the case but where is the proof? It's certainly not out there on the pitch........

How much more  of this shite can the long suffering fans of GTFC take ? Just heard there was 93 Town fans present, over 500 mile round trip. They don't deserve a medal they deserve fooking  counselling!  Because  you have to be certified mad to support this club week in week out, year in year out. When will this torture ever end?!!!

Hopefully you won't go down that paaath KM  ;)

We need fresh blood at the top with new idea's,

AND

A few mew players in January.

A good suggestion, my neighbours cat would have done a better job of holding the ball up front. ;)

Quoted from fishcake63

waterfall& pollock aside thought the rest abysmal not including macca in that i mean outfield players , really really struggling to count how many times robson overhit crosses , sum's us up at end gibson blazing over excrement night all round

i  thought Macca was as bad as the rest apart from waterfall,pollock and Hess.  Macca does not Boss his area, puts pressure on defenders, his distibution  continues to be suspect. Confidence starts from the back.( just my opinion.) :-/

Embarrassingly poor. In front of the TV cameras as well. Shockingly bad. Shameful. Those poor fans who went all that way to see that excrement.

All together now

My neighbour's cat [My neighbour's cat]
Is better than that [Is better than that]
My neighbours cat is better than that
He's got some poise and awareness

If limbricks idea to improve us is returning to playing Hewitt in central midfield then ffs show him the door now. He has eyes the same as us, every single one of us can see he isn't a central midfielder. He's utterly anonymous there at best.
Rose isn't good enough to start- he may have a role as sub against a tired defence but he isn't good enough for a starting role.
I wasn't sure were we playing wing backs? Cant tell. if so another reason to show limbricks the door as we have nobody capable of playing that role except maybe hendrie who was injured.
We went to absolute pieces after their goal, no fight and no desire, and no idea either.
urine weak defending from Gibson I think that started the rot for their first.
Relegation battle looms yet again, as there is only 1 spot we should surely have enough so long as limbricks doesn't get it...

I don't like criticising Macca as he does well for us most of the time

He knows his limitations commanding his area but his shot stopping usually more than makes up for that

Tonight though I was disappointed with him in his role as captain

We needed someone taking control, driving players on to give that last ounce of effort but while he is the captain I'm afraid I don't see us having the backbone needed to pull us through when the chips are down

Back to league business on Saturday then.... the dreams of a plum tie in tatters after that second half and I just hope that Limbrick can somehow get something out of the squad he has at his disposal because Northampton away folllowed by Cheltenham at home in quick succession is going to be a tough call for a team so low on confidence and arguably ability

I didn’t have the pleasure of watching such a p.iss poor performance thanks to being at work late but could tell how awful a display it was from the commentary. Limbrick has to go . Another clean start required . Ship out as many of Jolleys crap signings as possible in jan to give the new man half a chance to make 2 or 3 new players who may inject some much needed belief as it feels this lot are just slipping into don’t give a fook surrender mode .

Quoted from jock dock tower

At least Fenty was spared this embarrassment if he was in Nottingham tonight.....

He robs from the poor and gives to the rich
