Like the look of this side, good to see Williams and Edwards in.

Edit: although I've no idea how the defence lines up; Clifton left back again?

Edit: although I've no idea how the defence lines up; Clifton left back again?

Reckon it’s 343.

Probably the best line up so far this season.

Think it'll be three at the back.

433 with Clifton slotting in at left back. Ollie more or less confirmed we would changed to 4 at the back midweek.

Can't see how that lineup works in any formation without square pegs

Our strongest 11 I’d say

Could show morton gomis on their way out

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Can't see how that lineup works in any formation without square pegs

Only square peg is Clifton at left back. And I actually think that’s me being quite harsh on Clifton as he’s always done a job wherever he’s played.

Other than Preston in at left back I’d say this is our strongest 11

Quoted from Hagrid

Could show morton gomis on their way out

Probably Moshni  as well.

Quoted from Mikey_345

Preston hasn't played well in weeks. We don't have another left back, so it's either Hendrie or Clifton to play out of position there.

Pretty much our best XI. Edwards back is huge.

There’s been a lot of negativity lately but the fact remains we won our last league game, hopefully today will see us go 3 unbeaten and a bit of optimism can return.

Wright could challenge the starting 11 when fully fit and gets game time.

Quoted from pontoonlew

There’s been a lot of negativity lately but the fact remains we won our last league game, hopefully today will see us go 3 unbeaten and a bit of optimism can return.

Shows what you can do with stats.if you look at the form guide for the last 8 games ,we stand 8th bizarre, I know.

I-follow going as slow as f**k if anyone’s trying to buy the game.

IFollow showing it as a 3-5-2 with Williams and Edwards as wingbacks...

I’m assuming we’ve got a different clock in our changing room...

Come on Town, let's hope the cull gets a reaction.

Good line up
About our best
Formation
No idea?

Chance there for tranmere. Clifton left back?

Is there coverage anywhere on radio Humberside?

Here we go again. So predictable!

Already sick of Tonduer criticising Gibson
He's like a whingeing git in the Main Stand

The Priti Patel of local commentary

balderdash, unlucky Macca, thought he'd got that. One man in the box and they score, no one following him in and everyone else deep in the box.

Poor defending again   :-/

1-0 FFS
This is already looking ominous IMO
They look decent
We cannot string a pass together

Got the beating of hendrie every time

Slow to react there...all a little too predictable

Very sloppy in midfield

Come on hands up all you on here said we had a good defence 🙄

Surrender possession get punished, poor by Town.

For intercourse sake

Wtf was Mckeown doing!...why did he go for that first ball?.. the defenders had that area covered!...completely took him out of position!...

We concede and they go straight to Burnsy reeling in delight as Hull go 2-0 up.

I'm trying to listen to Grimsby Town, I don't want Hull City updates every 5 minutes.

Mckeown fault for me....was well out of his goal for that initial shot when he had no need to be at that angle then couldnt recover.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Wtf was Mckeown doing!...why did he go for that first ball?.. the defenders had that area covered!...completely took him out of position!...

This.

100% McKeown’s fault. Again.

Our midfield are still on the bus, completely anonymous.

God we’re shite

That left winger is far too fast for Hendrie.

It's all Tranmere... come on Town get a grip.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Wtf was Mckeown doing!...why did he go for that first ball?.. the defenders had that area covered!...completely took him out of position!...

WTF was Clifton doing?

If we don't get a grip here this will be 3/4-0 HT

Hendrie a good player at L2 but their guy is too quick for him by far

We are getting flipping leathered down our right hand side

Blame Macca all ya want but a free header, reaction times so flipping slow they were non existent and no attempt to stop the ball in make for the predictable outcome...

Quoted from moosey_club

Mckeown fault for me....was well out of his goal for that initial shot when he had no need to be at that angle then couldnt recover.

Agreed, although I didn't see him make much of an effort to recover.

Quoted from davmariner

God we’re shite

Just give us a shot please, not too fussed if it's on target.

Just got home.  1 -0 down.  Not a surprise.  Can't see any grit in this team to get back in it.

Wtf can't we get on the pitch for 1500  🤣

Quoted from Tinymariner

WTF was Clifton doing?

Playing out of position, thats what he was doing.

Too many poor decisions by Town players.

We are absolutely excrement.
Thought Holloway was a great move then I thought give him until Christmas now intercourse him.
Get rid before its to late.

Midfield is completely anonymous. Again

Why has Holloway picked Clifton at LB?

Quoted from nightrider

Wtf can't we get on the pitch for 1500  🤣

Maybe Ollie was having a panic attack   8)

Surrendering possession too easily too often

Quoted from promotion plaice

Just give us a shot please, not too fussed if it's on target.

Got your wish

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Why has Holloway picked Clifton at LB?

Probably because we've ran Preston into the ground by playing him twice a week all season due a lack of any adequate cover at left-back.

Good skill by Edwards

This is better.

Our cheap midifeld us costing us, they provide little cover for the midifeld and vert litte creativity going forward.

Best keeper in the league .. sick of hearing it , but tosh all over

Clueless

FFS

Kinnell

We look like a Sunday league team, embarrassing

Game over!

Why did I even bother to tune in?

Again and unmarked man in the box following up on the second ball

2-0..too easy game over.

2 flipping free headers you useless twits

Awful.

Literally admiring Macca’s save...woeful...free header again. Waterfalls still looking for his man there...

What was maca doing give the lad a chance ffs

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Best keeper in the league .. sick of hearing it , but tosh all over

Absolutely useless kick-out from him results in us giving up possession and gifting them a corner, which they then score from. The guy needs dropping, sick of hearing how amazing he supposedly is

Last f@cking game I'm paying to watch ..towels thrown in, I'm f@cking done!

2-0

All came from trying to play out from the back again

Supposing I think this is probably our strongest line up, minus Preston.  

I’m really starting to get worried now.

This is ridiculous

flipping useless

Oh dear

Anyone that thinks were not in a relegation battle needs to give their head a wobble.

Penalty Tranmere.

Penalty now, is this football or comedy?

Rose your shite

FFS.

C'mon Boris , just cancel the season

Quoted from arryarryarry

Come on hands up all you on here said we had a good defence 🙄

Come on don't be shy.

Less than 30 minutes gone and 3 down

This is a pile of excrement.

Did holloway say summat about wanting a reaction?

At least stevenage are losing

WHAT THE intercourse IS ROSE DOING THERE! HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO MAKE THAT TACKLE IN THE BOX!

Bloody Covid...making us all excrement at defending and stuff

Can we re-run that questionnaire on worst managers?

Dear God, Please let this season finish soon and make Holloway realise it's time to intercourse off. Thank  you. Amen

shower of excrement,

Potentially could be a club record defeat

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Can we re-run that questionnaire on worst managers?

Sssshhhh...it’s all Covid’s fault...you know that.

Game over maybe?

3-0 down in 30 minutes

At least we’ve got 5 subs.... 🤪

And this was supposed to be a reaction? Fuckingembarrassing.

Quoted from devs

If we don't get a grip here this will be 3/4-0 HT

Didn’t get a grip!

Keeper has it.  Mckeown plays us into trouble again which leads to a corner.  The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.   It was obvious there that you couldn't play it out from the back.  Team have worked us out. Bunch of effing amateurs.  Lazy good for nothing scumbags. It's not just lack of quality, there's no drive or hunger. I'll keep watching to say I saw the game that Grimsby conceded the most goals in their history. Can't we put the Grimsby lasses on?

Check
Make that 6-0

I think it's time Ollie gave himself a vote of confidence.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Game over maybe?

3-0 down in 30 minutes

At least we’ve got 5 subs.... 🤪

Who are just as shite as the players who started the match

Unless of course we can put all 5 on without taking anyone off...

I think we can safely say the Clifton at left back experiment needs to be abandoned. As many on here have already said, we miss his energy in midfield.

Taylor needs to man the intercourse up. I'm so fed up of him of seeing his wimping out of tackles not challenging for headers he's so soft its embarrissing

Quoted from promotion plaice

I think it's time Ollie gave himself a vote of confidence.

He’ll be proud...

When they have the ball back to their keeper our forwards are nowhere to be seen. When we have the call at the back they press us.

That's enough for me, switched off and not going back. Fed up with year after year of the same bull$hit. Manager after manager, young ones, experienced ones, the same garbage goes on and on
When Olly said his phone was burning with players wanting to play for us I didn't realise it was because they were all crap and couldn't a game anywhere else

After nearly 60 years of watching Town I can say without exception this is the worst Town team I have ever witnessed.To all of those who have still got their heads buried firmly in the sand,we are in serious trouble.This 20 years of penny pinching eventually taking effect,if we carry on with this regime I expect us to be facing relegation this seasons. It like watching rabbits caught in the headlights.

What a bunch of useless girl privates. Absolutely pathetic

4-0. You disgusting bunch

Lack of flipping effort!

There is no wonder the players look clueless the manager speaks in flipping riddles.

They’ve given up!!!

33 minutes now 4 down.

What a flipping disgrace.

And thers number 4

We can criticise Ollie all we like - fair enough
But we are giving so many goals away through crap decision making
Second goal was fecking stupid - and just when we were getting back into it

Anonymous midfield means far too much pressure on back four

7-0???

Comedy

At least Ollie can use all 5 subs at half time, although he would probably like 11 subs.

4-0.....this is shocking and Tranmere aren't even that good.

4-0

33 minutes gone

How many will they get?

FFS this is embarrassing.

Unecessary foul by Hendrie

What a flipping joke, men against boys  get rid of the lot of them.

Cant even leave the ground in disgust and go to the pub

So pleased I didn’t pay for ifollow.

This smacks of something gone off at the club?
No desire or anything

Sorry but Holloway needs to go. And take the crap that he brought in with him

Nearly every other pass is passed into danger. Clueless. Absolutely brain dead

Hahaha...embarrassing. Well Ollie has got his reaction , tell players they are sh!t and only good for the cull and they will believe it.

The penny pinching has finally caught up with us, it was only a matter of time.

Quoted from friskneymariner

I expect us to be relegated.

We have no shape we are a fuckin shambles and there is only one man to blame.
The fornicator loves the sound of his own voice the twit.

Arsenal 1-9 and Arsenal 0-8 are in threat here

Quoted from promotion plaice

4-0.....this is shocking and Tranmere aren't even that good.

But 4 goals better than us.

This is going to be our largest defeat ever the way things are going

The worst thing for me was that we clearly gave up at only 1-0

Quoted from NorthseaMariner

So pleased I didn’t pay for ifollow.

I did boo hoo.  Worst money I've spent since betting on Screaming Lord Such to get into power.

Can't even win a corner in that situation

Well if this is our strongest team we really are in deep shiite. Stevenage now 2 down, all we can hope is that theybn sarfend are even worse than us

How f**kin embarassing....  total excrement.....

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Probably the best line up so far this season.

Hmmmm!

433 now?

My only hope is Southampton got smacked for 9 and came back stronger...who am I kidding ..sorry, but this squad, bar a couple of players, is absolutely shite🤬🤬

Quoted from promotion plaice

The penny pinching has finally caught up with us, it was only a matter of time.

Finally caught up ???? We’ve been shite for two decades with no investment no ambition no feck all

I think this might break the club record

Stop kidding yourself and intercourse off Holloway you deluded verbal diarrhea ridden twit and take every flipping useless male masturbator you've signed plus our so called captain with you

Preston on. 40 minutes too late

Good work by Edwards

Any other manager would be gone after the start to the season we have had , the bloated squad he has been allowed to build then tell the press he is going to disassemble.

Fans , Board everyone has been in awe of him and left his decisions go unchecked.

Nearly winter and we still don’t have a settled team , relegation fodder

We can't even take corners.  FFS.  You're delivering a cross with nobody to beat. DO they practice corners with balloons at Cheapside?

Absolutely embarrassed

Quoted from arryarryarry

I expect us to be relegated.

Given the rhetoric that’s been spouted from the club over the years that existing is of paramount importance before any thoughts of progress, it’s caught up with us.

Fans have bought the nonsense and this is what we have left, I’m not even sure folk would be arsed if we went down.

Let’s face it; they were in the car park hounding Bill Carr out, we struggled to muster up a couple of hundred to get rid of Slade/Fenty...

Ihave heldback from saying this  but olley and his merry kids can just go back fom where they came from tonight.. not fit to watch town let alone play an manage   Ollie out tonight for me

Quoted from GrimRob

Potentially could be a club record defeat

Whose side you on got second half yet?

Not looking too healthy this. Capitulation at work here it seems. As someone said - the same mistakes at the back - keep doing it and Town will be 24th. And it looks like they’re going to keep making the same mistakes for the foreseeable future.

intercourse off Taylor

I think the manager should be re-christened to Ian Losthisway.

JT has just said “what do you say at half time if you’re Ollie”?

I’d prefer Rob Duffy to Montel Gibson - utter shite

Quoted from Mayaman

I did boo hoo.  Worst money I've spent since betting on Screaming Lord Such to get into power.

I'd rather have Screaming Lord Sutch as manager.

i  dont think i will be on here tonight, my laptop may explode, go easy guys

Here we go again. All the way back to Macca

Erm, aren’t you all forgetting that we made £140k profit last year and we still have a team to watch unlike Bury fans? This happens to be the best run club in the division, if not the country.

Jolley must be wetting himself.

I wonder if Tranmere will declare at HT.

Give it fkin rest all those calling for his head, get behind the team and we will get through this patch. Fed up of all the negativity whenever we have a bad game. You never come on here when we play well and praise anyone.

No sign of the rose tinted brigade. Oh “ollie is the best thing to happen to us”’intercourse off. Get him out, get this useless crock of shite out and you can urine of as well Fenty

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

433 now?

I've just popped out for a cup of tea, I hope that's how we are lining up and not Tranmere's goal tally.

We could create a bit of history here , the first team to make 5 substitutions at half time😂😂

intercourse all it seems.
At this rate a return to the wilderness of Non league beckons.

It's not just the crap results it is the shocking performances . I only recall 2 or 3 decent performances.
Rest have been shite.

Stand by for another load of excuses from Holloway post match  fed up with the same bullshit he comes out with week after week.
He brought most of these ppl players in. Some still aren't flipping fit it seems

He's said players and agents were ringing him desperate to come. Whatever mate.

I am starting think Holloway is  past his sell by date and is now just a bullshitter.

Looking forward to Kings Lynn next season, some nice pubs, tidy little ground and they're not that good so they'll probably not get more than two or three against us

Quoted from Hagrid

No sign of the rose tinted brigade. Oh “ollie is the best thing to happen to us”’intercourse off. Get him out, get this useless crock of shite out and you can urine of as well Fenty

I wonder if Holloway will get his easel out at half time, like Slade did back in 2006 at Sinny Bank? 🤔

Trump in!

Quoted from BottesfordMariner

Since when was 4-0 down in less than 40 minutes acceptable.

Covid is the latest in the line of excuses Fenty and his cronies have used. At least now he might shut up about ITV Digital. As for Holloway and his bullshit. Well, at least the free calendar with a season ticket will make a decent dartboard.

The acceptance of this excrement just extends the problem , we are a very very poor team run by a football face whose dying on his bottom

Yessss

Get in !!




Half time   ;D

HT...4-0.....WOW

Embarrassing. Interest has been totally lost currently. Too many players. Too many players who are not good enough. Too much change week in week out. Too little investment. Too much expectation that we - the heartbeat of the club - will stick around no matter what.

We’re screwed. Totally flipping screwed.

Someone give Ollie a plate chicken wings

I'd be on my way home now if this was the real world

A subbuteo team could do better.

Hardly the greatest man-management, announcing in the days before the game he is going to trim the squad.

Ridiculous performance so far.
Has a match thread been this long before HT?  ;D

I am. I’ve turned the radio off, I cannot listen any more.

Quoted from GrimRob

I'd be on my way home now if this was the real world

You'll have to storm out of the house in disgust! I'm on the verge of it, ut I can't think of anywhere to go  ;D

It’s even worse given the fact this is probably our best XI.

Don’t know where to begin, toothless once again. If Macca wasn’t a club legend he’d currently be sat at home, he’s having an awful season and should’ve kept out two of the goals.

Front to back we’ve been woeful and a smashing like this has been coming.

Come on then Holloway bullshit your way out of this fornicator

I remember us being 5-0 down at Oldham at half time ,think we lost that game 6-0 and was relegated that season .
Ollie mouthing off in the press that he intends on getting rid of most of team in January doesn’t seem to have motivated them.

As someone said the fact we made a profit again last season makes it even more painful as that profit could have paid for 2-3 decent players.
This club has been run on the cheap for 20 years and it’s caught up with us again

Quoted from GrimRob

Hardly the greatest man-management, announcing in the days before the game he is going to trim the squad.

I thought this. If your boss sent an email round saying we’re going get rid of some of you, not tell you who though, I think most people would struggle a bit

All we can hope for is the floodlights to pack in 2nd half and the game to be canned. It would be karma after the Forest Green was abandoned when we were winning a few seasons ago.

Come on, the writing was on the wall before a game had been played. It was obvious the players he'd signed were crap.
I can't believe all these players have come on the cheap either

Giannini was throttled through the window of his Peugeot convertible for missing a penalty against Lazio...imagine what would happen to this lot over there...

Trim the squad, needs more than a trim it needs a bic one blade over it. Worst bunch of players Ive seen at the club, no heart, no desire, no clue. Bin the lot of them! Useless, embarrassing and wasting fans money week in week out.

Yes I am watching, yes it’s disgraceful, yes we’re completely shite atm, No, I don’t need to give my head a wobble. I’ve supported Town for over 40 years, Supported them. Most of you whingers don’t support them, you criticise and knock them at every opportunity, that’s not support. I’m furious atm, totally and utterly gutted at our performance, but I won’t give up.

What's the odds on a "Holloway Out" thread tonight?

Well said mate, I'm with you.  Some of the verbal abuse on here to IH and the team is absolutely disgusting.

It's alright Ollie wanting to have a cull. He signed most of this rubbish in the first place!

What I can't understand is how were were so good v Orient and Cheltenham (who are decent teams) and since then it has been so poor
The fact he said he is trimming the squad says to me something is not right in the dressing room

I actually think our defence is good - they just get swamped by cheap balls given away in midfield and no fight/cover to get it back

1-0 down and it's game over

Loan players - do they really want it enough?
Older players - do they have the passion?
Non league stepping up - good enough?
Home grown talent - good enough?

I don't blame the youngsters or the non league lads stepping up
It's the experienced ones who need to lead by example and show some bottle and fight
That'll inspire the young lads

EG: Let's say for example Mohsni, Scannell and Bennett are on top wages - is their example going to inspire anyone? No
It's like any workplace - it drains the energy and enthusiasm from everyone

So let Ollie have his cull and see where we are in Feb... bottom I hear you cry!

But I cannot believe he's lost his managerial ability - the man has had so much success and has a template for success
Perhaps not the right template for L2 players we have?

Very worrying all round

Give over. Swallowing the bullshit and accepting standing on the apex of nothingness doesn’t make you a supporter, nor does not criticising.

We’ve been rudderless for years. The leadership of the club were paraded around after losing to Bournemouth but staying up because of points deductions and the likes, the inevitable happened and they still got away Scot free.

We had a manager, however uninspiring that created a side that players wanted to be part of and fans connected with and he walked away.

We’ve had a merry go round of managers in the last 20/25 years, we’ve seen little investment and seem to have no genuine plan of progressing as a club.

We’re no better with Holloway than we were without him. Nobody is saying he needs to go but perhaps he needs to just keep his flipping hyperbole to a minimum and have a long hard look at this dross we’re being served up week in week out because using Covid isn’t an acceptable excuse...

Square pegs till Preston on, Windsor no longer wasted in midfield, look a bit more solid now with Clifton where he should be.
Only player really showing anything is Edwards. This team has no pride and no commitment 2nd goal goes in and all they do is stand looking at each other. No one winding them up, non of them encouraging each other and we cannot start games with any of the loan kids in midfield as none of them are near ready for a mens game. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHH

Quoted from Tinymariner

Yes I am watching, yes it’s disgraceful, yes we’re completely shite atm, No, I don’t need to give my head a wobble. I’ve supported Town for over 40 years, Supported them. Most of you whingers don’t support them, you criticise and knock them at every opportunity, that’s not support. I’m furious atm, totally and utterly gutted at our performance, but I won’t give up.

You’re not the only one who’s supported the club for years. 1968 my first game. But for the past 17 years, we’ve been run by a clown who has now made as big a clanger as he ever has by effectively hamstringing us with a director/manager and a flimsy budget.

Town's first half performance reminded me of this:

Quoted from devs

The fact he said he is trimming the squad says to me something is not right in the dressing room

Yeah, it’s full of sh1te players.

I honestly reckon that Broadly FC Legends team would beat this lot if they played tomorrow.

Quoted from aldi_01

As long the poster is proud that’s all that matters...

im past caring

Quoted from devs

Loan players - do they really want it enough?
Older players - do they have the passion?
Non league stepping up - good enough?
Home grown talent - good enough?

It's like a 'Grimsby's Got Talent' show and the answer to the above is four big fat NOs

No subs. What the intercourse

No changes?

Quoted from arryarryarry

Oh intercourse off.

I've supported this club for over 50 years and currently we have one of the worst squads I have seen in all that time.

Unless major changes are made we are going down again.

There’s no need to resort to swearing at me, it’s my opinion, not fact, disagree as much as you like but don’t swear at me!

Quoted from Tinymariner

There’s no need to resort to swearing at me, it’s my opinion, not fact, disagree as much as you like but don’t swear at me!

If only the team had the passion of the supporters

Imagine if we could attend the games, i doubt very much we would attend after what we are witnessing. Many a manager would have been gone by now, i just wonder if Ollie,s investment has kept him in employment here. I think Blundell Park would be similar as it is today, fairly empty. I am so heartbroken to watch my beloved Club play this way. My memories of the past span back to the early sixties, when i was in the Boys Stand in the Barrets. Loved players who are deceased would turn over in their graves. We need players to respect our shirt and badge and play their hearts out, it is so shameful to the ones who wear it now. Players... Be Proud, Be honest, Be Precious to us fans. We pay your wages, we deserve better. We are a Great Grimsby area, you need to prove this to us, Pride of Lincolnshire, its not a big ask, its what you are getting paid for. Wear with pride.

Great example there , Hendrie 25-30 yds from goal cutting inside...looking up...and not a single player in the box or anyone making any kind of movement for him so he goes for a threadneedle pass through four Tranmere players.

Nothing up top at all.

Quoted from Tinymariner

There’s no need to resort to swearing at me, it’s my opinion, not fact, disagree as much as you like but don’t swear at me!

Did you not get the memo from The Johnson this week? Swearing is to be encouraged wherever possible. And bullying. And corruption. And lying. And affairs...

Quoted from dicko995

Many a manager would have been gone by now, i just wonder if Ollie,s investment has kept him in employment here..

Can't we have a whip round to give him his money back

intercourse...we nearly had a shot then...

Quoted from HertsGTFC

No changes?

I reckon there were 10 who would have volunteered to be subbed

Unlucky Windsor, some good quick forward passing there. Why can't we do that more often?

Quoted from Tinymariner

Yes I am watching, yes it’s disgraceful, yes we’re completely shite atm, No, I don’t need to give my head a wobble. I’ve supported Town for over 40 years, Supported them.

There's one thing having a bad game but there's nothing.  They can't even do the basics of what a professional footballer is supposed to do.  Imagine a bus driver who couldn't turn corners or a waiter that can't pour a glass of wine.  They'd get crucified too. Tranmere are winning everything.  

Our best 11 this...

Donkeys led by a donkey. The players are simply not good enough to play whatever system the manager has dreamed up and the manager is not good enough to realise it

Rose loses possession..... and there was I thinking “you’re on mute” where the 3 words that defined COVID.

Hey up! They are bringing Matt green on. Tranmere will have to change there formation to stop him!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Rose loses possession..... again!

I know we’re awful but I really don’t see a good game in Rose...

Thank god Taylor off, now stick him in a taxi back to Wolves

Quoted from Morris Minor

Hey up! They are bringing Matt green on. Tranmere will have to change there formation to stop him!

Because windsor and Gibson have give them so much to think about

Greens gonna run em ragged
;D

Quoted from Morris Minor

Hey up! They are bringing Matt green on. Tranmere will have to change there formation to stop him!

Green is probably one of our best players these days.

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Square pegs till Preston on, Windsor no longer wasted in midfield, look a bit more solid now with Clifton where he should be.
Only player really showing anything is Edwards. This team has no pride and no commitment 2nd goal goes in and all they do is stand looking at each other. No one winding them up, non of them encouraging each other and we cannot start games with any of the loan kids in midfield as none of them are near ready for a mens game. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHH

That's what's frustrating.  They don't seem to give a shite. Edwards working hard but to what end?  Fight you illegitimates and we'll get behind you.

Scannell on. this will be interesting.

Hope Max avoids a red card.

Quoted from nightrider

Greens gonna run em ragged
;D

He gets a bad press but he works hard and he gets no support.  At another clubI feel he'd be banging them in or getting a lot of assists.

Scannell and Wright on, with Rose and Windsor off. So 442 now?

Pick the players and formation out a hat

Another formation change, personnel changes on the pitch, 5 subs...but it’s definitely not the managers fault we’re excrement...

We’ve all been waiting for the return of Bignot bingo...

I wish they'd make it 5 or Holloway is going to say how proud he is and how well we played in the second half after some very unlucky moments in the first 45

If this furlough story is true no wonder the dressing room is down

Towns best move of the game ended with an over hit cross...

Not really been watching the clock but just realised theres still 20 .inutes of this garbage to go  :'(

Quoted from It Bites

Town's first half performance reminded me of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9KXrRUZqtw

Fancy calling our son Barnstonworth

'E's got middle nairm

What 'United'?!

The news comes on the back of Town boss Ian Holloway’s interview with Sky Sports this week, where he hinted at departures from his squad.

He said: “We’re a brilliantly run club. We are. We are one of the best.

Shows how full of bullshit Holloway is.
intercourse off Holloway, I will give you your 100 quid investment back

Quoted from horsforthmariner

I thought this. If your boss sent an email round saying we’re going get rid of some of you, not tell you who though, I think most people would struggle a bit

In my experience it causes most people to wobble when they hear that. Everyone gets distracted from the job and spends the time worrying and talking about it. Got to act quickly and decisively so everyone who's safe can move on and get on with performing again.

43% possession. Not even keeping it at the back

rovers have taken the foot off the accelerator/our throats because they know its game over.

Best Post this year

Ollie should have got a straight red

And scunny have just bloody scored, we all know who’s going to be on here soon shouting his usual drivel.

Holloway had enough. trying to get sent off so he doesn't have to watch

Holloway booked!!

Booking for Holloway, Bolly saying he needs to watch the game else he’ll get another...

I mean that would be a first Becauee I’m not sure he does watch us...

Quoted from Gaffer58

And scunny have just bloody scored, we all know who’s going to be on here soon shouting his usual drivel.

And in fairness who can blame him, if they hold on I think it will be 3 wins on the trot

And Scunthorpe above Town in the table.

Quoted from Ipswin

And in fairness who can blame him, if they hold on I think it will be 3 wins on the trot

The blokes sad as intercourse.... just needs ignoring

I take it  the Cull! announcement hasn’t gone down to well with players😕

I think Holloway’s name and his £500 quads worth of shares are going to keep him in a job for a good while yet.

We want one
We want one
We want one

Surely with a 'Go Fund Me to intercourse Off' appeal we could raise that

Nap Hand

He’ll still be proud of this display...

5-0.....what can you say

And theres number 5 and once again an unmarked man this time outide the box not inside it

Lovely strike that.

but.....again no real challenge on the initial ball out wide or the shot.

5 fuckersnow

Tranny have done naff all, taken it easy and the first time they try they score.

Tondeur...the players haven’t a flipping clue where they’re playing...

Thank intercourse for that at least Holloway can't say we bossed the second half

Just sick of this club. Everything about it. It stinks its rotten, its weak

Olly's press conference should be very brief. Anything more than 'sorry' will be a waste of words.

We're in the doodoo big time.

We are royally f@cked...who remembers Holloway spouting about players leaving, not signing contracts but they were part of a squad with a losing mentality...cannot see how the hell we are going to win another game at this rate.

Can’t wait for the EFL to take three points off us...

Morecombe score spelling but I’m drunk  :)

No way was that a foul. girl private rolled over

Well the lack of fans has stopped the Sacked In the Morning chant

We had a shot? His first words in his interview better be a flipping apology

Morecombe equalise ......😀

Make em walk home

I always wondered why that Millwall fan went red when I asked about Holloway...now I know...

At least stevenage have lost

Quoted from Mayaman

He gets a bad press but he works hard and he gets no support.  At another clubI feel he'd be banging them in or getting a lot of assists.

Sorry but ive still not forgiven him for last season  ;D
I agree though. He'd probably bang em in for the tavern

February 26, 2020, 10:11am

Contrary to most i didnt rate Green in preseason nor has my opinion ever changed. Imo he got away with it having Hanson near him who was on fire (still is)
But after our great start i must have been wrong 🤣  

What I've never like about him....
A few years ago there was piece on talksport about players who 'give there all' but don't actually give alot!
Players who the fans warm to due to their perceived 'effort' but their team mates know aren't putting in a shift.
Ive never really played the game so i might be wrong about most things, but ray parlour and the like were talking about how these sorts of players exist at clubs, they even stuck a name on it and I thought Green reeked of it a long time ago. Long before his wonder strike at Chelsea!

He seems to move alot but looks more like he's doing a dance around the ball/play to make himself look better than he actually is. Surely 3 managers would see this straight away?? Obviously not?
Why would he play like that under so many managers. A professional.
I have no idea but this is the impression he's always given me

Even so I was surprised he turned up late when he'd been handed a start. Even more surprised that we've kept him as long as we have

Bolland trying his hardest to diplomatically say this is a relegation side...

Rubbish, pathetic, spineless, useless, idiotic, cowardly, disorganised, toothless, talentless, weak, lazy, bad, stupid, sad, dim, brainless, failed, tired, garbage, thick, dumb, inconsistent bunch of plonkers

High fives all round from the Tranmere players

Ours just can’t wait to get away out of the spotlight

I hope they’re working tomorrow

I'm not embarrassed to be a Town fan anymore, I'm flipping ashamed

Quoted from Ipswin

When did Holloway ever keep it brief, he'll bullshit on and on with totally confusing crap no one can understand as usual

I know. But now of all times he needs to keep his trap shut beyond giving the briefest of apologies.

Spineless bunch of fannies

The OP had it right. About as much heart as Jevons' laces.

Would love to know Poojah’s views on this team

just not acceptable, if they call themselves professional footballers well...... they're taking money under false pretences.

Training ground exercise for Tranmere against a Holloway Lucky Dip XI

Edwards chatting away to tranmeres players not a care in the world. This team has 0 passion or any attachment to our club

Quoted from Hagrid

He was the only player who carried any threat on the pitch to be fair. Don't give a excrement what they do when the game is over, as long as they do well on it.

If I was Edwards I'd be angling for a recall and a loan to a club less shambolic.

Thats fair, and your right tbh

An absolute abomination of a group of players, with the possible exception of Edwards, no interest, no passion, no guts and no idea at all, give me the players that won promotion from non- league over this lot any day.

Quoted from Hagrid

Thats fair, and your right tbh

I know what you mean though. Looks like they're quite calm about it.

What worries me are all the hugs and handshakes. I know people are trying to be sporting and that but it's not really safe is it.

Yeh,let's hope so but brussels sprout pulling, footie training is obviously not for them.

It should have been an Email to himself. What has he done since he's been here. Signed a load of shite players and written a book on excuses .This could be the nail in the coffin.

Quoted from Hagrid

Unfair. If there was a positive, it would be Edward's effort and desire to move into positions whereas Gibson was on his heels too often and too keen to point his gloved finger at others.
Seniors like Hendrie and Rose were really poor today. Ask why Scannell even gets on the bus when Jackson has been frozen out. Ask why we we failed to make kick off until 3.02 p.m.

Something very wrong in the dressing room.

Quoted from Ruston AT

just not acceptable, if they call themselves professional footballers well...... they're taking money under false pretences.

think you have to temper some of that with comments from a former player like Bolland who ran through walls for this club....when you are changing formation , positions and players as often as we are then you cannot as a player build any understanding with your team and partners....and that was just in this one game !!! never mind every other week as well.

Players look like they are so lost....that is the fault of the manager.

Not just the dressing room,, look around BP, look around Cheapside, look at the club's penny pinching, excuse making  and pedantic ways, look at the club's infrastructure, look at the club's media output, look at the unskilled people in charge of every department, look at the pride our board has in keeping us from not being a Bury and is anyone surprised players don't respect GTFC when the going gets tough on the pitch?

Think the only way forward, in the immediate future, is to do what buckley and hurst used to do after a bad run I.e. excrement up shop ,put 10 players behind the ball and play for a boring 0.0 draw

Quoted from Perkins

An absolute abomination of a group of players, with the possible exception of Edwards, no interest, no passion, no guts and no idea at all, give me the players that won promotion from non- league over this lot any day.

It still really annoys me how that squad was dismantled so quickly.

Tranmere were completely different class but if we had won today we would have been on level points with them with 2 games in hand. Doesn't make sense. Nothing makes sense anymore.

Look at the manager

Getting the impression the players have got fed up with Bull$hit Bert and downed tools.

Quoted from Grimal

Yeh,let's hope so but brussels sprout pulling, footie training is obviously not for them.

😂😂😂

So I take it the 'in Ollie we trust' mantra is consigned to the dustbin?

Not making excuses but the score line doesn’t surprise me, finances always play a part and Tranmere are well funded by all accounts, so their players have no reason not to put in a shift. If I was a town player my head would be elsewhere following Holloway’s recent Cull comment, very unprofessional.

Every match I say to the wife "I'm not watching that garbage anymore"  What do I do - pay £10 and watch the shite in the next match. Well this time I mean it.  PS   See you on Tuesday. ( We must all be crackers )

Quoted from promotion plaice

What's the odds on a "Holloway Out" thread tonight?

I daren't say it.

Has our illustrious leader spoken yet?

SHOCKINGLY INEPT DISPLAY Windsor tries, Edwards decent, centre backs no protection but also slow to react. Too often in open play we have 6 players on our own 6 yard line marking no one while opponents line up 20 yrds out ready to attack the ball when it comes in. Too many changes every game constant changing of formations. Impossible to create any structure of play if you cant build relationships on the pitch.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I logged in late so missed that. Did we really turn up late for kick off?

Yes, around 3.02pm when we took to the pitch, with the Tranmere players asking the ref where we were

Quoted from lee65

Any other manager would be walking instead of talking

1st goal, poor ball into a player under pressure by Clifton, they break and score. 2nd what was McKeown thinking belting the ball to Clifton in our 3rd of the field which resulted in a corner and goal. 3rd goal, Rose making a crazy challenge for the penalty. 4th everybody just backed off.  Countless unnecessary fouls in dangerous areas. Toothless up front and poor distribution all over the field. One of the most inept performances I have witnessed watching Town akin to the drubbing we got at Oldham. Relegation fight nailed on

And BTW football is shite without fans. Soulless and pointless

Quoted from forza ivano
