Overcast and cold here in London, easy trip down although some are having problems on the A1, hope they make it on time, just over 3 hours from Brigg and a handy parking place near the ground.👍

Let's hope for a good performance and 3 points.

Hope he can coax something out of Whitehouse, been very underwhelming for me.
Looking farwards to seeing Glennon for the first time.

Town:-
McKeown
Hendrie
Davis
Pollock
Glennon
Rose
Hessenthaler
Whitehouse
Vermam
Clifton
Wright

Russell
Ohman
Clarke
Cardwell
Hewitt
Buckley
Starbuck

Pisses me right off Orient warming up in front of the Town support, shades of the Gimps, cheap IMHO.

Beat me to it, my fingers are cold.🥶

That looks like a very young side, looking forward to lots of energy and 🔥

No beer in the ground!!!!  Boooo

Good luck boys!

UTMM!!

Looking a bit threadbare on that bench, anyone would think we were Macclesfield :B

Youngest Town team I can remember.

I was sat outside a bar in the centre of Saigon.  Beer is cheap as chips and scantily clad women are walking past  as if in a fashion parade.  The temperature is perfect for shorts and t-shirt. A full moon shines down and red lanterns hang in the air ready for lunar near.  Time to go! Town are playing Orient.  - The Holloway effect.

Come on town, we can do this

Started real well

Davis off injured replaced by Urman.

The referee's secretary must say "ah it's Grimsby town, must give them a excrement ref"

The LO 10 looks a very good player. We need to get the ball to Max more to stop him getting up pitch.

Orient look comfortable in the air.  We need to get the ball on the deck.

Did I mention this ref is excrement?

Yes   :)

Don't you always, every week in fact. FFS if we won 10-0 you'd still moan about the ref! Would love to know what constitues a good ref in your opinion

Where not getting anything today, slow to the second ball and our passing not up much.
Lot of huff and puff but not much else.

We need a man to be sent off. :)

Consistently giving away needless free kicks in dangerous areas is very naive

Hairdryer treatment at half time?

Quoted from Rik e B

Hairdryer treatment at half time?

That or a plate of sandwiches!!...😂😂

Ooh eck we don't want it to end before it's started!

Much changed team and decimated squad we've got to remember.

Good move by town but Wright took a one touch to many. Should have gone for goal or just driven it across the box.  

Not so good but still in it UTM

Six halves of football without conceding; it’s something to build on even if we’re not free scoring.

Clarke on sometime second half to score the winner   ;)

👍

Well it’s not great but we’re not losing. Not sure how Angol missed his chance
If we stop hoofing long balls from the back and play through them orient look fragile.

We've pulled them apartf when we've played the pass and move football with the ball  moved quick and on the deck, any hoof ball plays straight into their hands we haven't got the players up to top to win a header really never mind hold it up.

We need to stop giving away stupid freekicks, one of them is going to cost us soon and they've come far too close too many times already.

I wonder if we'll see Billy come on at half time for one of the front three?

Oh dear Whitehouse

Good start in the second half.  Whitehouse has had a good game but he needs to practise his shooting.

Quoted from TAGG

Oh dear Whitehouse

What does that mean?!

Ye again why the intercourse are we so excrement freekicks/corners

Quoted from Teesknees

What does that mean?!

In a good position with time, rushed it and sliced wide.

Quoted from TAGG

Ye again why the intercourse are we so excrement freekicks/corners

Because Hesenthaler keeps taking them.

Clarke on for Rose

Craig Clay on for them.

Would love to win but would take a point after what they did to us at BP

But didn't they do us a favour? That defeat led to Jolley's outburst

Well said and well taken goal, come on Town

Didn't take him long!

Pffft excrement scoring record 😉

Great ball from Whitehouse and well taken by Billy.

Just what we needed. Another player who doesn't score many  :X

Billy Clarke do do do do do do.

Claret and Blue wizards going well 🥴

Thanks for that, keeper made it easier than it should have been

Hewitt on for Wright

Podge just put Newport 2-1 up, soon be time to bump the “ you know what thread” again.

Quoted from LH

Claret and Blue wizards going well 🥴

Matt AND Amond rubbing it in for them!!!

Still had to do it, and do it he did!

The proof is in the pudding and the pudding is the ball... Oh and the keepers eating pudding pie!

Surely we can shut up shop good and proper now after Mansfield....

One minute plus stoppage time, come on town !,

Spoke too soon

Pineapple man😡

Balls. excrement ref.

Hate Angol

Robbed, ref  was itching to give them something, illegitimate.

Who gave it away?

FT.....1-1

Positive.....still undefeated under Ollie   :)

Still unbeaten this year !
UTM

Robbed, absolutely robbed, great effort Town keep plugging away, definitely deserved all 3 points.

Quoted from Hagrid

Who gave it away?

Clarke I think

Stupid penalty to give away.  Still Leyton Orient were very dangerous so i'll take the point.  

Robbed of a deserved win tbh, scored from a great counter and robbed by a ref who wanted to make the game about himself. See those not given 9 times out of 10 but he wanted to create some last minute drama for his ego.

Shame as we were up to 14th for a while. Defence is doing great, just need to score more regularly and we will be moving upwards.

Robbed lol. That’s a penalty in 2020. The Orient player has looked for it admittedly but don’t give the ref the easy decisions to make and you won’t concede fouls. Onwards to next week and a tough test.

Looked a pen to me, their player went down easily but how stupid to try and tackle from behind in pen area and not even touch the ball. Ref was cr~p though and should have been a red card at the end for denying a clear goalscoring opp not that it would have made a difference to todays result. \thought we had a couple of 10 min spells where we played well but total lack of composure all over the pitch.

Sooner we get Hanson back on the pitch the better...just wonder who'll get dropped though...??..
Again, defence was excellent and young Glennon seems an upgrade on Gibson which I didn't expect.
Take the point, we stay undefeated in 2020 and move on to next week and hopefully score a few at home...

That is what happens when a “forward” is back defending.  A forward’s tackle I take it?

We are unbeaten under Ollie and this year.  Also unbeaten this decade.

Watched the game on Ifollow and being honest a point was a fair result for us .
Still gutted to give a goal away so late but Orient had loads of chances before that

Stupid time and place to commit a foul, clear peno even if the ref had been itching to give it. Overall very plaesed, our pass and move football was a joy at times, but we desperately need Hanson back if we want any hope with any long ball.

I thought Whitehouse had a good game today and is starting to turn my oppinion on him at the moment.

The two new lads looked good and I look forward to seeing more of them.

A point away from home is never a bad thing. Even if we probably did deserve the win.

was that not glennons first professional match? really impressive if you think about it

I'll take a point all day long. The middle of the table is very crowded and if we can get something from the games in hand we will be in the top half. Stevenage lost as well so we are creeping away from the threat of relegation. Well done, lads.

Hanson for Rose I reckon

Me too and agree, it was a clumsy challenge and not surprised it was given. On balance, a draw was a fair result and it’s  a good point.

Still undefeated and the new signing scores !

Glennon also with positive reviews from those at the match.

Rome not built in a day !!

Ogbu out, with perhaps 2/3 in where needed, and maybe a couple going out on loan to harden up will set up the rest of the season.

A straight push in the back. I don't think he even put his foot in.

I thought Orient were much better than their position . indicates and played better than their fans forum would suggest they might. They pressed us really hard especially in the 1st half. Angol was all arms, a talented player but, man, his attitude was below par. All our players  impressed me but Glennon and Vernham stood out. Clarke was all energy when he came on but yes, that was a daft but predictable penalty foul, you could see it coming. I thought Macca was panicking a bit towards the end. All in all a nervy but great point, you can tell they are all playing for each other and for the manager, something we have not seen for a while. 5 matches undefeated. If we had won it we would now be back above Scunny......
