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

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

Great to see Ohman on the bench, I was beginning to be concerned that either his 'illness' was something serious or Limbrick simply didn't fancy him (I'd rather he was playing, I think him and Pollock should be the first choice pairing - hopefully Holloway will agree!)

Just been in a lovely pub in the centre, walking to the ground avoiding the dog mess! UTFM

We’ve been very steady with a pairing of Davis and Waterfall lately, both were excellent on NYD. Whilst Pollock has potential I don’t think we’ve seen enough yet to say he can consistently be better than either of the first choice 2. Ohman is usually either suspended or injured and we can’t get a settled back 4 with him in it.

What has happened to Green and Hansen? Both injured?

Quoted from RonMariner

What has happened to Green and Hansen? Both injured?

Yes

don't know why people haven't taken to Waterfall-he's the only one likely to score from a corner

be interesting to see if Macca retains the captains armband under Ollie. I have always though that you need your captain further up the field.

Holloway's only had one training session (yesterday) with the squad so I'm not expecting a miraculous transformation today.

With the limited time on the training pitch (well, Blundell Park yesterday wasn't it), the impact he'll have on today will come mainly from inspiration and motivation. With maybe one or two little tweaks or messages that he's managed to get across yesterday in terms of things he wants to see.

Fingers crossed for a win and a party atmosphere in the away end.

Quoted from RonMariner

Agree but doubt he would antagonize the main voice in the dressing room mid season.

Dino Zoff
Captained Italy to 1982 World Cup glory
Move on.....

Ohman was on the bench for the Carlisle and Scunthorpe games, so he's not been completely left out the picture by Limbrick, but yes, he'd get in my team.

Just listening to RH apparently we tried to sign Akinde but the Gimps wanted too much money for him.

When was that?

Rest my case!

Quoted from jimgtfc

Whilst Pollock has potential I don’t think we’ve seen enough yet to say he can consistently be better than either of the first choice 2. Ohman is usually either suspended or injured and we can’t get a settled back 4 with him in it.

As we are in  no danger of going up or down I'd like to see Pollock get the game time, nows the time to see just what he can do ready for next season.

He might well not be ready yet but the potential is there and we don't want the same situation next season where he is still considered too raw

just watched Olly on sky sports Gillette soccer sat., he had Jeff Stelling reminiscing and laughing, I feel so proud to be a Town fan, were gonna go places with all this advertising, god bless u Olly :)

That’s the difference having Holloway in makes, they’ve just shown an interview with him from Mansfield’s ground on Sky, when in the past have Sky cared about interviewing any previous Town manager?

Quoted from Ipswin

He probably won't be with us much longer so no point having him as a starter.

Quoted from Kris2

He probably won't be with us much longer so no point having him as a starter.

You think we're going to just release him or transfer him? If it's the latter the more games he's started the better surely

Personally I think it might be Ohman who leaves

Waterfall sent off

Waterfall sent-off   :-/

Waterfall off

Straight red according to the ref / Bishop

Definite red, very stupid challenge.

What an idiot

Bishop is the biggest girl private in football

Quoted from golfer

don't know why people haven't taken to Waterfall-he's the only one likely to score from a corner

Only if he manages to stay on the pitch Should have picked Ohman or Pollock!

Pollock on

At least he’ll give his all

Quoted from Gaffer58

That’s the difference having Holloway in makes, they’ve just shown an interview with him from Mansfield’s ground on Sky, when in the past have Sky cared about interviewing any previous Town manager?

To be fair to Sky they did ask our previous manager for an interview before one game,

He told them , " what the FOOK  ?  don't you know what pressure I am under before a FOOKING game, you are all the same you FOOKERS don't ask any sensible questions just FOOKING stupid ones FOOK OFF !!!!!!!!

Good job it was not televised live.   ;D ;D








Before the lawyers are summand  I made it up.  ;)

A really weak ref today

Stupid to dive in like that but didn't look that bad a challenge to me. Their lad milked it a bit and sure enough, Bishop was there within a split second to request a red card.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Pollock on

At least he’ll give his all

Gotta display his skills to the scouts, apparently been bigging up all the teams that are looking at him lately to his mates  ;D.

Max makes way

That’s a real shame that he’s the one to be sacrificed

Tondour was just on about this ref before kick off. He reffed (badly) the game against them at BP. Shown a lot of reds apparently.

Why the fook is Ogbu on and Wright off???

Waterfall won't be scoring from any corners today.  Unfortunate that.  Not a red in my opinion.  It's gonna be a long game now.

Quoted from TAGG

Why the fook is Ogbu on and Wright off???

Everyone here seems to think Ogbu is really good so I guess he's our first choice striker.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

A really weak ref today

FFS we're not blaming the referee already surely?

Quoted from TAGG

Why the fook is Ogbu on and Wright off???

Probably wants someone who can hold the ball up

Quoted from Kris2

Not for me

Quoted from Kris2

Everyone here seems to think Ogbu is really good so I guess he's our first choice striker.

Yeah, as proven on the last Just Back thread  ;D

I'm starting a club up. it is going to be called the: I HATE NEIL BISHOP unappreciation society. Anyone want to join?

Ogbu being held every time by their CBs. This ref has been weak as intercourse so far

Daft challenge but their player made a meal of it.

Well none of the players can't say they've not been given a chance.  I'm looking forward to see who these players are that want to play for IH.

Looked a straight red to me, I don’t think Waterfall can have any complaint.

Quoted from Meza

Well none of the players can't say they've not been given a chance. .

Few double negatives in there but I know what you mean (I think)

Great save by McKeown with his foot. Maynard should've buried it though.

Macca saves us

Going to be a long afternoon

Quoted from HertsGTFC

https://twitter.com/pganderson/status/1213479246955524097?s=21

Not excessive force TBH, 50/50 challenge but Waterfall was late- not malicious or dangerous. I would have given Both Bishop and Waterfall a yellow , Waterfall for the obvious and Bishop for being unsporting/desent and trying to influence my decision.

He clatters the player and the ball carries on on the path it was going on. It’s a red.

Ogbu excellent so far

Our first signing should be someone who can take a frigging corner and free kick.

Ffs can’t we take corners and free kicks. How hard can it be ffs

What a pair of sharp objects the the mansfield co-commentators are on i-follow, so biased it's untrue. cmon town, fancy Vernham to sneak one.

Monday morning on the training ground, dead ball practice to find someone who can take one where it goes towards a Town player, because at the moment we are absolutely useless with them.

Quoted from Tommy

Ogbu excellent so far

If wet farts are excellent.

Perhaps Waterfall was trying a tad too hard to impress the new boss?

Quoted from TAGG

Why the fook is Ogbu on and Wright off???

To be fair to Ogbu,he's working his butt off.  Holding up play and winning free kicks. Shame we can't do better with them.

What’s a matter with the bbc website? It’s the only match you cannot get anything other than the score. No live txt or stats.

Think ogbus been excellent with his hold up. With a ref who is determined to give us nothing

Hopefully Ogbu can get another yellow out of Pearce

I've just called them to let them know the link doesn't work.

Answer machine though so may not be done in time for the second half.

0-0 at half time with ten men, come on town, keep it up.

Good first half.  Defensively Town are great and all the players seem much more comfortable on the ball.

Quoted from Withnail

Never thought of that, I just thought it was some odd financial thing with Mansfield.

Agreed, Ogbu was doing well holding it up and winning the odd free kick.

Rose will be buzzing though after scoring the winner t'other day. Let's hope he can sneak another.

We can get something out of this.
come on town.

Quoted from ginnywings

The Holloway effect

Great ball in by Gibson after a superb dummy ( ;)) by Rose. Good play by Rose and Robson before that too.

I love Akheem Rose's dummy :)

Get in....even if they score now we would still get a creditable draw with ten men.

Still need to pull the trigger earlier.  Clifton should have whacked that.

I haven't seen this kind of determination guts and sheer balls since the play off final.

Batten down the hatches.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Batten down the hatches.

Waste time.....how many times have teams done it to us this season.

If we can keep this up and see this game out this would be a fantastic win, away from home against a Mansfield team which ok are not exactly up there this season but on paper they do have a strong squad and lets not forget we was down to 10 men after 10 mins. even a draw would be a good result, Ian Holloways Black and White army!

Who scored?

Quoted from jonnyboy82

I haven't seen this kind of determination guts and sheer balls since the play off final.

Own goal

Quoted from ginnywings

Who scored?

Benning....own goal   :)

It was an own goal, and the number of town fans there is 1377.

I'm at the stage where I've had to turn the commentary off   ??)

Thanks peeps.

Rose is starting to play really unorthdox football.  His well placed bobble shot last week, a sublime "dummy" and now a one two off a Mansfield player.

No finger nails left, again !

Gibson off, Whitehouse on. Clifton to left back. Must be an injury?

Whitehouse buys a free kick within 5 seconds of coming on - more of that please!

Listening to the match and from the sounds of it the ref has been worse than garbage. Was the yellow for Gibson necessary?

How come there is 10 minutes left, I make it 16:45 now?

Quoted from ginnywings

Who scored?

Karma got it for us

Quoted from 123614

How come there is 10 minutes left, I make it 16:45 now?

4 minutes added on in the first half. Not sure about the other 6 minutes!

Excellent tactical cramp by Pollock an inch from the line.

Who stopped time?

90 up

5 mins added

I'm terrified of the commentary but I can't turn it off!

Full Time....Mansfield 0-1 Town....get in

Fabulous. Well done all

Yesss

Get in

FT 1-0 to The Mariners

🏁

Get in

Great save at the death!

Brilliant!!!

What a difference he’s making the whole mentality seems to have changed

atmosphere sounds class, managed to listen to the end on the way home from work, great win, pulling away from bottom

Fantastic result - deserved it too. Great to put one over consistently the most odious team we come up against.

Great result.

Wouldn’t go overboard in saying it’s down to Olly yet. We’ve had a few games like that in the last couple of years.

Wonderful start for the crazy man and a big well done to Limbrick too

And many thanks to the Mansfield player who showed us where the net was!

Fantastic day, just seen the fans on Sky sports and Holloway with the players Was that Pollock he had his arm around?

Pleased for Fenty too and a great unbeaten run as well

Absolutely bloody brilliant! Congratulations Ian, players, fans...for getting us over the line today. So far this year we've got a 100% win record with no goals conceeded.

Sky are now showing the players saluting the fans at the final whistle, are we going to be their new love child and get lots of coverage.

superb result

Grimsby are back.  What a fight.  Bodies everywhere.  You could see our players tiring but they never gave up.  The defence was incredible, Ogbu ran himself into the ground.  Robson playing out of his own box , a few deft flicks and back heels in the game as well. All we need to do now is get our shooting boots on.  Have a strike quicker. But Ollies army's here to stay, Ollie's army is on it's way, I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else but here today.

Well done Town, down to 10 men and with a bit of Grimsby grit won through (groupwave1)

Had a quick look at Stagsnet earlier and had a wry smile when i read a comment saying that we were just the type of team that Mansfield should be beating. Yeah right, because they are the Barcelona of League 2 was my thought.

We've just gone above them and i am grinning from ear to ear. Even better that we had 10 men and it was an own goal.

Quoted from Ipswin

Fucning balls of steel. We were outstanding. Against a bunch of cheating girl privates and an appaling referee. I dont think theres a team i dislike more. So proud of us tonitht

My mate texted me from match
Says we look so much better going forward
Attacking in strength/numbers

I think it's only 3 goals conceded in six matches?

Listening to commentary I was really impressed how all the midfielders got forward

Brilliant effort all round

Hard not to get carried away - I'm 58 so I don't care... I'm getting carried away!

Great result especially away from home. Well done you Mighty Mariners

Great to see Town on Sky at 5 on Saturday night. One day I’ll have recorded it for the scenes after winning a division on an afternoon in May!

That was superb! So pleased I went, I love the Ollie effect, everyone here is so happy!

Regardless of how we got the result, Town responded to poor decisions with pure energy after going down to ten men. Travelling fans sounded beyond awesome.

Well done to GTFC .

Up the Mariners!

Clifton was immense today...started off central midfield, then left side of midfield and finally left back. He hardly put a foot wrong in the whole game.

Quoted from Ipswin

Wonderful start for the crazy man and a big well done to Limbrick too

It was Clifton, who sounded like he deserved a special well done from the gaffer, but it could have been any of them.

SSN Coverage was relentless. Wouldn't be the worst thing if this media exposure was consistent

Unbeaten in 4  :)

My only disappouintment is that it wasn't that girl private Bishop who scored the own goal. UTM!

Two crucial saves from Macca?

Well done town, same players as before xmas and just getting that bit of good fortune and the confidence returns. Good times ahead.

I've not been then worn out after a game since the playoff final against Village Green what a game, what a performance. How Macca kept us in it at the end I don't know

It was a red looking at a replay on teitter, but the ref was excrement today wasn't he.

On a negative just walked past then drove past our idiots and their idiots getting into it at a junction just down from the ground.

pay back time for conning ref , lads i'm proud tonight wouldn't be surprised if we don't rapidly climb table under ih

Surprised the ref didnt give us a red for that challenge in the build up to our goal. UTFM

Started the afternoon with a flat tyre, then building flat pack
Phone brings and I was like here come the Mansfield goals. Staying grounded but love the positive energy around the club at the min
UTFM

Love it that the BBC reports that Tranmere pulled 3 goals back away to 10 men Watford.  Watford only went down to 10 men in the 89th minute!

Try playing against 10 men for nearly the whole game.

From the Telewag website late in the game "Maynard see’s McKeown off his line and digs en effort from 345 yards that the Mariners’ keeper miraculously tips over!!"
If he shot from that far out it shouldnt have been a miracle he saved it!

Quoted from Boris Johnson

Holloway is fantastic with the media. he is very careful what to say and he chooses his words carefully but at the same time he is very personable and he has bags of charisma, a very likeable chap who speaks very passionatly

Wonderful interview.

So proud of the lads today. The confidence must be sky high after winning in these circumstances.  

Significant quote from the interview.....

"At half time I told the lads the pressure is on them not us........I expect you to win.'

That is the mindset of a winner.

Quoted from Gaffer58

Sky are now showing the players saluting the fans at the final whistle, are we going to be their new love child and get lots of coverage.

Ollie interview before the game about his Mr Grumpy pants

He can certainly bin them after this afternoon’s performance & result

Nice to see we were wearing the stripes and not a manky pink strip.

Belief is a great thing. You can tell that the manager has it and he is able to pass it on to players. I could only listen but it was clear that players are doing a lot more running and are a more compact unit. There were signs of this against Salford and it must be something IH has talked to them about if only briefly. Good to hear credit being given by the manager to players and to AL - they must feel 10 feet tall tonight. (Waterfall may be a little shorter than the rest though. ;))

Just back.......I’ve got a video from side stand of town fans at the final whistle.......amazing!

He is also working wonders in other ways.  He said on RH that the Chairman bought the players lunch yesterday.  Before Ollie came we did not even have a Chairman! 😀

Hi, Gashead here. Well done for your win today. Hope you’re looking after Ollie. Having watched Coughlin as our manager for a year we did like him, well most of the time. But hi Sam football was dire to watch but he snatched results and did well. One thing we did notice was Coughlin was poor tactically and was often out thought by the opposition. Ollie on the other hand was pretty smart tactically. When you lot went down to 10 men did Coughlin stretch you or stick rigidly to his defensive midfield? Did Ollie out think him. Coughlin is a one trick pony, Ollie on the other hand will be very imaginative which will sometimes catch him out.
Well done today.

In his after match interview Ollie said Coughlin was giving the right instructions for playing against 10 or similar. Coughlin seemed to bemoan the work rate, fitness and body fat levels (think we know who he's on about there "who ate all the pies") of several Mansfield  players in his after match interview on Notts fm. Also Said it wasn't a sensing off too.

We love Ollie and this will soon feel like his home from home 🏡 and his second love I'm sure 🤗 He'll always be a Gashead of course 👍

It wasn't until the final few minutes and added time that they looked dangerous but at no time did it look to me that they were effective with an extra man.
