Vernam in. Playing left of a front 3, at a guess. Wright on the bench too.

Guessing 4-3-3

Would like to have seen Vernam up top with Hanson in a 4-4-2 but that’s not us at the mo

Come on Town really need a win today

Fire engines at BP for some reason

Hosing down the grumpy dentists in the main stand :)

Only 25. ??

Has someone devastated the product ?  😄😄

Would rather Robson and Ogbu started but can't argue with that line up too much

Quoted from promotion plaice

Fire engines at BP for some reason

That's not uncommon to have a fire engine there, they routinely check the main stand before every game.

God awful defending. Macca left in no mans land does well to just get a hand on the ball.

felicitations sake

But were making improvement.

Swindon score. 😢

A pensioner would have been expected to save that header. Utterly pathetic

Relegation battle coming again

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

God awful defending. Macca left in no mans land does well to just get a hand on the ball.

I thought he would've caught it quite easily but he stumbled as he back peddled

11 day off to practice. Well done Grimsby, bet comes in within 10 minutes.
Grimsby No Clean Sheet.
Easy Peasy
:) :) :) :)

Good to see the ‘significant improvement’ is continuing.

Same old shite, new manager with new ideas ASAP please Mr Fenty.

It’s situations like this where you need an outfield captain.

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

God awful defending. Macca left in no mans land does well to just get a hand on the ball.

Good night? Was an absolute dolly to catch. Dreadful mistake

Quoted from Alfie

Good night? Was an absolute dolly to catch. Dreadful mistake

He was covering his front post and it was high and looping over him at his oplosite post he was back peddling the whole time not a simple jump and catch at all.

Can see why swindon are top though tbh. Look solid and compact off the ball, first to the second balls too. And with a poacher like Doyle, don’t need to create much to score as he puts most chances away. Reminds me of us 15/16 with Podge

Non league here we come

Jesus

Town looked to be playing well.  Soft goal rattled them a bit. What the hell happened.   Hanson seems to be more on it. Just need a spot of luck Just final ball again. Swindon don't hang about. And they've score again.  Jesus, that's the difference.  Wasn't a great shot but when you on a winning streak you have a pop and it gets a  deflection.

flipping Hewitt goes brainlessly steaming up the pitch while they have possession leaving a massive space behind him for their attacker to be played in to and then run at our useless defenders and score. This entire team and club is abject. Completely abject.

Hughe deflection sends the ball the opposite way that Macca has gone. But again shocking defending as our defence continued the Frenchs favoutite military action of constant retreeting.

Game over at home after 25 mins FFS

This will be 1 point from 9 under Limbrick so no doubt Fenty will confirm his appointment on Monday

Swindon are quick coming forward. You can see why they're top.  They don't give you a second on the Town not so much.  Swindon go down too easily in my opinion.

Trash, utter clueless trash
No movement, no idea, no confidence

Short corners are useless.  Get it in the danger area!!

Whilst it is clear that Limbrick has tried to instill a more easy on the eye footballing style and we do seem to be playing it on the floor more than we certainly did under Jolley, but ultimately it is a results based industry and you do not get any points for passing it around but losing the game. and whilst we by all accounts played reasonably well against a good Northamption team, looked good against an effective Chetenam side and now playing against the team who are top of the league, it does still look set to be 1 point from a possible 9 with the possibility of 0 goals being scored in Limbricks 4 games in all competitions, not an impressive stat and whilst we should be grateful to Limbrick for making us play a better styleof play maybe it is time to bring somebody else in, and this somebody else may want to bring in their own man which would of course lead to Anthony's departure.

Cant blame the manager for a deflection  and macca slipping .

Shocking half of football.

Defence all over the place giving Swindon an easy game
Midfield slow, no skill, can't pass or tackle
Attack Hanson feeding off scraps, Green and Venrma non-existant

Pretty much covers that first half I think.

We are a side completely devoid of any confidence. Our midfield look like passengers when they should be participants.

If Limbrick sends them out with the same shape and personal that will confirm he’s not up to the task.

We’ve just had a 10 day run which would have been the ideal time to get a new manager in but as ever we fail to take an opportunity

I'm at the game. They are everything we are not. No movement no passing slow closing down constant high balls to Hanson. They get the ball they have time and space to play it. We get the ball there's three Swindon players closing us down with no Town player to pass to.
Utterly awful-no improvement on Slade or Jolley. Devoid of any ideas

We were playing OK until the second goal. Not great since then, but they've not exactly been peppering our goal.

McKeown at fault for the first. I know he stumbled, but it looked to me that he panicked as he thought the header was better than it actually was. Should have been an easy catch. Of course, the chance in the first place came because Gibson was ball watching at a throw, letting their man get the first cross in easily. He's had a stinker so far today albeit against a strong and powerful winger.

Hewitt well out of position for the second, but it was just one of those things as we had two defenders there to try and block the shot - might have hit both of them!

We look like a nervous team, lacking in confidence and not willing to try a forward pass when a backward one is available. They look a good team and have plenty of pace and athleticism which is making us look pedestrian in the middle.

We'll need to do a lot, lot better in the second half, or they will coast to the points. A goalkeeping error and deflected goal for us would be nice!

Apparently Robbie Stockdale is in the main stand no idea how true that is

Get your half season tickets whilst stocks last!

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Apparently Robbie Stockdale is in the main stand no idea how true that is

He is in the main stand

I thought Vernam was supposed to be playing today, Shocking all round, 2 lucky goals for Swindon re deflections [/b]but[b] easily deserve to be ahead, Interesting stat on ifollow  Town tackles won 40, Swindon 84, shocking considering we have a midfield full of workers without particularly great skill,
We played well for most of the Cheltenham game why did he change it?

Quoted from Davec

He is in the main stand

Thank you for confirmation Monday appointed manager then

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Thank you for confirmation Monday appointed manager then

but Alan Buckey is also there so maybe Buckley will be apponted as manager with Stockdale assisting ;)

Green and whiehouse off

Robson and Rose on at half time

Quoted from Davec

Why not 😂

Been smashed at home again utterly embarrassing  

Got a feeling our budget is less than Macclesfields ;D :B

5 vs 3 and they still score. Shocking just goddamn awful. Far too easy.

Jerry Yates scores their 3rd

Quoted from forza ivano

Jerry Yates scores their 3rd

And in the build up not one Town player looked interested in stopping him

A licences sound good but the reality is they mean nothing unless a manager has man management skills . The clubs a shambles .

Also Philip flippin' Day before you say we target the championship in 5 years again make sure you back your mouth up with it, only place we will be in 5 years is conference North

I really thought we would get a result today
Few games in the last few weeks
Limbrick seemingly improving things
Vernam Davis and Wright back
We need to get points from somewhere soon else we will be facing the absolute unthinkable which we may never come back
Come on Town!!

This is worse than when Jolley was in charge and that's saying something.

The clubs a complete mess from top to bottom

We are w@nk.

Limbricks out

A goal would be nice.

Town defenders do know that they are allowed to tackle right? Swindon players are just walzing around our box knowing they aren’t going to get tackled. It’s embarrassing. Set pieces awful, passing woeful, no creativity, don’t look like scoring, midfield non existent, I’ve already turned iFollow off.

And just to mate the afternoon compete Scunny go 1-0 up!

It would just be the GTFC way to get relegated in the season only one team goes down.

We'd find a way of getting relegated if no one went down.

To make things worse scunny take the lead at fgr

Wright on for Vernam. Hopefully thats the end of that experiment

Think its fair to say many of us thought that this squad was good enough to challenge for the play offs. I think it is now fair to think we was wrong and we are not even good enough to be in this league :B

Frankly I don't think it matters who the manager is, the squad is simply shite and not good enough. Relegation battle coming up (again) we need some bright new thing to come in and somehow get this shower into a team capable of winning the odd game or at least scoring a goal. Oh hang on, we had one of those and he copulated off.

If it ends up as a 0-4 thrashing or worst today I wonder if Limbrick will give RH the old 'flipping' address.

as things stand we ar only 5 points off bottom , dont any one think we cannot go down

If Macclesfield go under, that could save us.

To many bad Decisions one after the other
Podge and the spine of the promotion team let go
Would take Pearson and crew back tomorrow
Hurst Goes
Slade In and kept him in to long
Jolley talked his way in and then out
Not quick enough to react to new man needed,  bumble along with AL
Need a change of fortune and need it soon
Come on Town!!

Is it that the players are not good enough or just not giving it all, that's not to say they aren't trying but it's down to application, are they in the right frame of mind or as results are shite confidence is shot. A lot of this is down to the manager, five minutes before kickoff they should be made to think they are world beaters and able to beat anyone.
    On another note when we have a corner I see they leave a player up hence 2 defenders have to stay back to look after him, what a stupid tactic, hasn't their manager read the Slade book of coaching, never get promotion with that attacking sort of thinking.

What did they do for 11 days on the training pitch?

Quoted from Stockport Mariner

If Macclesfield go under, that could save us.

What a state of affairs to come to this.

To be fair my dog hopes we go down - he didn't get as many after match kickings when we were in the Conference.

The amount Fenty has taken out of the club in the last 2 years equates to just over £4300 a week. Wonder how much difference that would make to the team...

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

Picking mushrooms

Complete embarrassment

Whereas your misses hopes we stay up!!

They were a better side and are top of the League for a reason.
Every single player was better than ours, they understood their system...they worked harder, smarter and played with more purpose.
We looked like 11 strangers who didn't have a clue how they were supposed to be playing. Men v boys.

Quoted from Stadium

What a state of affairs to come to this.

Exactly.

More tactics and skill in  subbuteo

To think Town were only 3 points from going top of the league, earlier this season, after a bright start - current form is disastrous. Didn't expect any improvement today - but hoped there would be. Could be that team disarray was because Robbie Stockdale in the main stand (reportedly) - and current managers know they are on their way out. We need some stability - but a ' Duncan Ferguson' is needed imminently to get some heart back in to the club.
Will be at Carlisle next week to assess the attitude of Town's players for this very important game.

UTM  

Stockdale was definitely there (Tondeur spoke to him at half time), but I'm not sure the shite served up was in any way down to him minding his own business at the back of the Main Stand!

I bet Stockdale signs Monday-Limbrick his assistant.

Did anyone recognise Paul Heckinbottom - could he have been in the stand? Just saying - as they were a 'team' at Hibernian, with Stockdale as coach.

Quoted from Abdul19

No but it might have been enough if he had any sense to make him withdraw his application for the job

That's a poor following for a team top of the table even considering the time of year.

I was there yesterday but have just seen the goals again.

Jesus - they were much worse than my first impressions. Macca was like  Bambi on ice there on a more or less perfect pitch.

The second goal - Hewitt doing a light jog to get goalside and then turning his back on the shot. What a shower.

We need a manager in fast - this lot need the proverbial rocket up their backsides.
