Currently driving round the M60, absolutely piddling it down🌧️

#GTFC XI: McKeown (c), Hendrie, Waterfall, Davis, Gibson, Clifton, Robson, Hessenthaler, Wright, Vernam, Ogbu.

Subs: Russell, Pollock, Starbuck, Hewitt, Whitehouse, Rose, Cardwell.

Pleased to see Moses through the middle, cannot understand why Limbrick is not picking Ludvig

Gonna be a bit boggy, got wipers on fast, 10 minutes away

Ohman must be injured?!

Quoted from Chris Seaward

Ohman must be injured?!

Or maybe unlike his predecessor he just wants to keep a settled side at the back ?

Pitch looks in poor condition.

Think Davis and Waterfall look a decent pairing. Ohman isn't injured, lost his place because of illness and no need to change it for me.

Quietly confident we might end this run today. Like the looks of the front three and we can't keep playing well and not winning forever. Must be bonkers  ;D

Hope he hasn’t buggered off back to Sweden 😩

come on town

This is our most important game of the season so far.  Macclesfield are in the doldrums and if we can't beat them we our season is pretty much over.  If we score a few it will gives us a boost in confidence that we really need.  I feel sorry for the oppositions predicament but it's a dog eat dog world.  

Only bee to moss rose once, bizarrely on Boxing Day too! Weather was horrific but, quite possibly the best ground staff/stewards I've had the pleasure of speaking to. Hate the thought of any club going out of business but, must win game today

Where have all the Town fans gone.

Doesn't seem that many here on the terrace.

No Matt Green??

Quoted from Stew0_0

No Matt Green??

said he was injured on hullberside

Wright should've scored.

FFS are we ever going to score  :B

Must be really difficult for a pro to miss the target from there. Seriously

Quoted from denni266

said he was injured on hullberside

It's now sponsored by jolley pet stores and now called radio fu(king hullberside

HA ha good one

We are so excrement with free kicks and corners

Noone's taking the game by the scruff of the neck.  Nearly a defensive mistake because town were too afraid to take responsibility. FFS

JJ Hooper bags a brace for Wrexham. Those golden days when we had prolific strikers. There was no doubt about the outcome when old JJ was one on one with the keeper!!!!

It’s the same for both sides I know but this pitch is really poor, not helping Town’s new found passing style 😉

Quoted from TAGG

We are so excrement with free kicks and corners

Why the intercourse do we keep letting Hess take free kicks/corners FFS

Quoted from buckstown

Yeah he would miss.

Town can't break or cross for toffee. What's with the looping crosses?  If you do get a head on it there's no power.   Whip it in!!

I think we look poor and are letting them bully us.

Come on lads, we’re excrement but not “JJ Hooper was ace” excrement.

Quoted from TAGG

Corrected for you

Forget prolific, remember when we had even a goalscorer!

Quoted from LH

Wanna bet?

Town need to learn to tackle.  We foul and give the opposition possession.

The game should have been advertised as the fight to see which team is the worst in the football league
I hope we can manage a shot on target in the 2nd half. You never know, we might then actually score

Quoted from Mayaman

Town can't break or cross for toffee. What's with the looping crosses?  If you do get a head on it there's no power.   Whip it in!!

That's what my wife said.

Another 45 another blank

Started well, two easy chances for Wright. We’ve got worse as the half has gone on. Im really hoping we can come good second half but I’m not so sure. I’m not there, I paid a tenner.........UTM!!!

Quoted from LH

Come on lads, we’re excrement but not “JJ Hooper was ace” excrement.

At least he knew where the goal was, he couldn't always hit it but he knew where it was and did have the occasional shot

We looked quite good for the first 10 minutes after that it has been crap.

Will we ever score again?

Quoted from davmariner

Will we ever score again?

yes but not necesarily this season

Quoted from Madeleymariner

yes but not necesarily this season

Or quite possibly in the EFL if things don’t improve!!!

We are there for the taking.

FFS

OH DEAR

Quoted from tintowner

We are there for the taking.

Well you jinxed that.

flipping excrement

Game over

Really poor from Davis

Nice one Davis. You’ve been crap all season.

Game over, we don't  score.

What a soft penalty to give away.  The guy who put the cross in was in acres of space. He had time to tie his boot laces before crossing.  Now, we're panicking.  What happened to the fight back we did at the beginning of the season?

Can we pin point where it all went wrong for me the last miniute loss to Mansfield

Starting to think the holiday I booked for the play off final might have been a bit optimistic.

They aren’t worth bothering with anymore

Quoted from oochiad

This. Looked like pro's versus an uninterested fans team for 15 mins. Then we gift them a chance through Davis and stop giving it to Vernam. Average rest of the half.

Penalty second stupid thing Davis has done. Ogbu done nothing but give away stupid free kicks. Max missed 2great chances, one you just have to score.

Quoted from sapper mariner

Can we pin point where it all went wrong for me the last miniute loss to Mansfield

The Chelsea mauling for me

Same old same old, how much longer do we have to put up with this dross.

Dog  shite

But we won at Exeter just a few days later. Since then though, nothing.

If we lose this we are in trouble, why can’t a professional player score a bloody goal when given the opportunity? What is wrong with this team/club??

Don’t think I’ve felt as low or less optimistic or less hopeful since the relegation season
I worry if we go down we will not come back again for many many years
This game is so poor

excrement by Davis for the penalty.

We are too slow.  

Quoted from promotion plaice

A question we have been asking for donkey's years, so don't hold your breath waiting for better.

Quoted from Mayaman

We are too slow.  

For what ???

1-1

Yes Chas!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

We scored !!! UTM

Holy cow we scored a goal.       Also, drop davis

We scored a goal, we scored a goal

Go Chas!

Football,bloody hell.

Get in, I always knew we would score   8)

Speechless

Christ! Where's the Champagne?

Quoted from promotion plaice

Get in, I always knew we would score   8)

Never in doubt.
Just a matter of time haha....

That’s AL got the job now

Good God, we’ve scored !

We want 2.........we want 2........
Christmas at last!,

A bit of effort. A bit of running. And we score.

No to dissimilar to the one he scored there last season

Halle-flipping-lujah! 😁

Now get another chas

Quoted from OllieGTFC

That’s AL got the job now

8-1 return if he makes 19 games.....

The promotion charge starts now.

Quoted from tintowner

Game over

He of little faith....

Well taken goal that.  

Quoted from LH

The promotion charge starts now.

Behave yourself

Still worrying for the next two games though,Crawley and Salford both winning.

Someone needs to tell Hess to stop taking free kicks and corners

Our. Everest peak  performance was being 3-0 up in the 94th minute away at the leaders Exeter.

After that, it has been  downhill all the way.  Literally.

Am I seeing things, have we scored??  ;D

Rose, 3 to pass to for what could have been a tap in and chose to shoot greedy sod.

Morecambe are losing which helps.

1991 in attendance
Good job Macclesfield don't have to pay anyone with crowds like that

Get up Rose you idiot

As well as a Town goal we actually had a half decent ref, 2 miracles in the same afternoon!!

Great link up play gets us a corner. Looping corner straight into the keepers hands.

A point and a goal, could have been worse. None of the bottom 7 won and Morecambe are further adrift.

They were excrement. We looked ok in patches but you’ve got to beat dross like that.
Thought Vernam had a really good game, just missing the central striker to put what he creates away.

Feels like a win

Quoted from ginnywings

Is this the level we are now at?

Apart from the goal we were poor from start to finish, this was a game for the taking, yes the pitch was crap but so were both teams, if we can't out compete a team who haven't been paid we are only going in one direction and it isn't up.

Another game that should prove why Limbick isn't the man to take us forward.

Another game that proves with Fenty and his board running the club it is only a club in decline, about time they all stepped aside and give new blood with fresh ideas a chance at breathing new life in to the club.

Quoted from Stadium

Is this the level we are now at?

Yep!

The only way is up.  ;D

Away point is an away point and a goal is gold at the moment. No one played badly though Davis was weak link in defence. Mattie looked quite assured when he came on.
I would though like to make a statemernt'

I may have given the impression that I believed Vernam  was not a football league standard footballer and never will be. Nothing can be further from the truth.
After speaking to my editor we have agreed that he is the best player at the club and has a fantastic career ahead of him. ;)

I am sure that our younger players were grateful to the 20 knobs at the end verbally abusing them.

Ok as they say any point away is supposedly a good point, but let's be honest it's a dog excrement result. We are in trouble.

Hullberside just mentioned we are apparently in talks with Ian Holloway. Be interesting if we are.

Don't forget akheems amazing assist. Lovely weighted pass - a thing of beauty

Quoted from Spatchcock

Did they have Fenty's approval to release that information  ;D

Quoted from davmariner

Nice one Davis. You’ve been crap all season.

And most likely a few seasons before,that's why he's ended up playing for town.(anger4)

Quoted from Spatchcock

Hullberside just mentioned we are apparently in talks with Ian Holloway. Be interesting if we are.

Probably fake news.   Stirring more crap.

Not saying that Macclesfield are a good side, but that was their 5th draw in a row and one of those was a 1-1 draw against Bradford, It is not easy to win there on that terrible pitch
We are still crap in front of goal though with poor decision making when it matters

Chas is the central striker, build around him cos he's got the bottle to put away goals like that on his own and he can beat defenders all day long
Put it on the floor to Chas
On today's showing looks to me like he's off, doesn't fancy NL

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

Feels like a win

Couldn't agree more. A point is better than nothing.

Isn’t he left footed?

Quoted from chipsandgravy

I am sure that our younger players were grateful to the 20 knobs at the end verbally abusing them.

Pleased to say this group of neanderthals were amply countered by 350 other Mariners who cheered and applauded the team for their fighting response. The quality was dire at times but the younger players never gave up and showed more resilience than some more experienced colleagues.  

What has happened to Hendrie? Wrong side of his man when making challenges, poor passing and looks miserable. Davis and Gibson not communicating and Clifton not convincing in front of back four. Put Hess, out of sorts in past few games, back there and let Harry support forwards more.

We had lots of crosses, all shocking, and again, rarely man the far post.
For once, Whitehouse was good nuisance value when he came on but needs to go out in Jan. Our biggest problem is in midfield. Robson is one paced and lacks the consistency to boss the centre of the pitch. We have to persist with our young forwards despite what we may be paying Green, Whitehouse etc.

AL is failing to get senior players to lead by example. Thought Pollock looked comfortable when he came on.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Rose, 3 to pass to for what could have been a tap in and chose to shoot greedy sod.

I noticed for Vernams goal he played a short pass to Vernam to go on that run and finish with aplomb. Rose ambled behind him - any striker worth their salt would have busted a gut to keep up with Vernam in case his shot was parried, or came back off a post but Rose just jogged.

I really cannot see why we have gone to such great lengths to get him ready for first-team football; there must be surely better players in non-league that could be picked up for a song.

I noticed that, he clearly still has a lot to learn and I’m not sure our hoof it up to Hanson & green style suits him TBH. He’s quick though and that’s something to build on.

If they can get goals for us we need some more of those plombs like Vernam had.

He he. I typed that whilst trying to pour another drink with aplomb.
