Lamy starts, unchanged otherwise. Exactly what I was hoping for personally, UTM

Team
TOWN: Eastwood, Hendrie, Hewitt, Menayese, Habergham, Morais, Matete, Coke, Lamy, John-Lewis, Hanson.

Subs: McKeown, Waterfall, Bunney, Clifton, Adams, Green, Payne.

Fair play let’s hope gets his formation correct.

Presume JLL is captain again, hope so, How did Bunney, Green and Waterfall get on the bench

Clifton back earlier than expected.

Nothing too much to moan about 2 strikers. 2 attacking wingers, the same back 4 who looked a million times better then previous ones the last few months, just a shame Green is still wasting a space on the bench

Team we all wanted tbh

A win for Tranmere would be good

Quoted from Hagrid

Team we all wanted tbh

Then no one will complain if we get beat yeah? 🙄🤔😂

Come on boys ! I smell 3 points tonight with that lineup , look more playable  with that system .

Positive line up.  Looks like we are going for it. May as well do, coz the defensive line ups haven't achieved much.

Draws are not good enough for where we are, we have to go out to win.

Quoted from DB

Presume JLL is captain again, hope so, How did Bunney, Green and Waterfall get on the bench

Just stand in front of it and squat

Forgot we have to listen to the away commentary.

It's times like this I miss Tondeur.

Colchester already losing

Gonna be a long two hours listening to this pair of Radio Cumbria clowns. Seem to have no idea they've got several thousand Grimsby Town supporters listening to them and are giving it the full Carlisle bias.

eg. "Lenell John-Lewie" ffs

Lenell John-Louis Akpa Akpro

I thought the commentator sounded ok

What the actual intercourse how has that been disallowed. Complete joke

Aw, never a foul.

Commentators seem alright.

Im sick of the cunting officials in the league

Why have we been stuck with the ONLY lino in the country who is willing to give a "free-kick".

was a foul. shop jumped into the keeper. there was possibly an offside as well

There is absolutely no obstruction whatsoever there. It’s just gone straight in from the corner with perhaps a slight flick off someone’s head.

Channel the injustice, Town.

Soft

Joke decision

Ref had a clear view of that and bottled it because the linesman flagged

Always the same when you're down at the bottome and down on your luck  ::)

How the hell has he give that a freekick Saturday was worse on our keeper ffs shite refs every week

Quoted from forza ivano

was a foul. shop jumped into the keeper. there was possibly an offside as well

No he didnt. And you cant be offside from a corner

Southend losing

The ref owes us a decision

Classic anywhere near the keeper job - not surprised it was given. However, the lino giving it when the ref was nearby is bizarre  :-/

Seen much more impeding on the keeper not being given, on most days that would have been a goal. Just got the lino today who wants to make the game about himself. I guess for our next goal the 4th official will come running on the pitch.

How do we end up with linesman overruling refs. Im sick of it

Southend 0 Tranmere 1

Good for us

Southend 1 down.

Decent start by us.

We're  on top at the moment

Lamy is up for this today

Also, is the keeper the lad from Lincoln who conceded from Colbeck's corner?

15 mins, so far so good

CAPTAIN SHOP!!!

Yes Lenny!!!

Yessssssss John Lewie you legend

Yes!!!!!

Shop scores for Town

1-0 to the Mariners!!

Yass mon The Shop

STAYING UP

Yes Jean-Lois!

Get in and deserved on play.

Playing great at the mo.....

Good worked goal, Hanson holding the ball up in the box a couple of times today and bringing people into play.

the shop! good header following excelelent lamy cross after good work by hanson

Get the intercourse in good start let's get a second town

Yes Jean Louis

Giroud-esque!

Hanson to lamy to lennie. COME ON

Get the fúck in. Nice little move, we deserve that.

His name is a Shop!
His name is a Shop!

disallow that you bast@rd

Lamy started well.

Another goal coming

This is has been a superb 20 mins

Really like the look of Lamy - he's the sort of winger we've been missing all season (cos Max Wright has been injured for most of it).

This is better Town

Best performance in a fair while

Great start - utm

Crap ref should be a pen

They were very close to giving a penalty away there

That's more of a penalty than Matt's the other day - looked like he trod on Lamy's ankle (similar to the one Martial won against Man City)

Peno.......

Farmam's kicking is insane.

On the replay not a pen, hes off balance and a well timed shoulder to shoulder. I'll admit I thought it was a trip the 1st time round

Quoted from DB

STAYING UP

A little premature, and I speak with some experience!

Quoted from kafunanapar140909

Farmam's kicking is insane.

i thought he'd just walked off for a minute  ;D

Poor kick out by Eastwood, got lucky there.

Quoted from GrimRob

His name is a Shop!
His name is a Shop!

Not according to the Radio Cumbria commentator its not
Someone by John Lewis a beret :)

Tranmere up 2-0 now

If  if, if, if we win tonight and COULD POSSIBLY win on Saturday it would begin to look like 2 from 5 or 6 as a couple more are dragged into it.


Think DB is rubbing off on me......oh er missis!!!!!

Southend 2-0 down, Colchester losing & scunts

Commentary is first class tonight

Southend losing 2 - 0 tides turning in our favour

The co-commentator thinks he's nostradamus. There's going to be a red card, a town player is going to make a mistake that's going to cost us.

Quoted from moosey_club

i thought he'd just walked off for a minute  ;D

It was a proper run-up like a fast bowler in cricket  ;D

Quoted from promotion plaice

Poor kick out by Eastwood, got lucky there.

I think theres a strong wind thats blowing on and off changing the flow of the ball in the air

Quoted from Abdul19

Also, is the keeper the lad from Lincoln who conceded from Colbeck's corner?

Yes.

Commentators are really good imho

We’ll have the wind advantage second half. Come on!

Quoted from DB

Southend losing 2 - 0 tides turning in our favour

Your doing your very best to jinx it.

About time they got booked its every time Lamy gets the ball they try and do that

Quoted from kafunanapar140909

It was a proper run-up like a fast bowler in cricket  ;D

we should just give a a load of goal kicks away, he will be fcked by half time  ;D

Quoted from 28195

Commentary is first class tonight

Agree. First class. They can pronounce names correctly and are aware who has touched the ball!! Always a bonus when you are commentating.

Quoted from psgmariner

Commentators are really good imho

This.
Compared with the normal,it's a breath of fresh air.
Positivity about the game compared with the normal doom & gloom.

The lads are certainly playing for Hurst tonight.

The commentators were doing so well... then referred to our "having some quality like Matt Green"  ;D

and i was just starting to like the commentator.. ;D

Did the commentator say Matt Green is class :-)

Yes they’re playing for the shirt, we need to get another though as Carlisle are getting it together....

Was enjoying the commentary until they said that Green has a lot of quality and could cause problems if he comes on.

Quoted from Morris Minor

Was enjoying the commentary until they said that Green has a lot of quality and could cause problems if he comes on.

I thought the other one questioned Green's attitude.

Habergham looks uncomfortable there

Alan Lamy looks very good

Bunney Time 😬

e: or maybe not?! Thought Habergham looked absolutely crocked

Will Bunny come on to shore us up in the
second half

Bet Jolley is there tonight, can't hear any swearing though   8)

Oh ffs, Habergham down

After bringing Bunney on the left wing on Saturday it wouldn't suprise me if he brought Payne on to play left back if Haggers has to go off

Fair play to the commentators regarding the Habergham situation

If you’d listened properly they were talking about what paint to get for an outside toilet wall.

Both commentators really well researched tonight.

HT, so far so good

A half where we looked like a football team.

Surely Bunney will not strengthen the defence. He is more likely to create holes in it. 😏😥

HT

Well played Town

Thoroughly deserved lead  👏👏

UTM

didn't enjoy the last 10 minutes as they came back into it.
not too many shabby performances out there so far.
Trouble is we've been here before - looked good for 45 and then imploded (southend and newport away for example)

It's nice to listen to commentary from people who sound like they actually enjoy watching football. Very enthusiastic and they actually know who the players are.

Wish we could stop now!

Wind with us second-half, shoot from range if possible I would suggest.

Best I've seen all season. Staying up

Well deserved lead. Lamy and the front 2 have caused them problems. Great header from Lenny and after he’d missed an easier header completely.

Have to say the corner that went straight in didn’t look a foul. Have to go at them again like we did in the 1st half.

   sooner have Clifton play LB instead of Bunney

This doesn't look like a relegation side. We look a lot better tonight

They all seemed fired up, playing how we expect town to play

Hope haberham ok wouldn't want Bunney on

The best half I've seen from Town since Hurst returned, with the possible exception of the first half at Newport. I still worry about our mental fragility however - the next goal will be massive.

First time in a long time we've looked like a balanced football team with players who compliment each other. Really not looking forward to this second half though, stressful stuff watching town.

Glass half empty then tonight?

A great first half. My nerves are terrible and I’m not sure I can watch the second half! Come on town!!! UTM!!

Quoted from oochiad

A great first half. My nerves are terrible and I’m not sure I can watch the second half! Come on town!!! UTM!!

Alcohol slightly helps.

Us shape looks alot better with two actual wingers.

Hoping and praying we can do what we havnt done enough off and string two decent 45 mins together now.  

Expecting  Coke, Lamy , Habergham & LJL to fade.

Subs will be crucial this evening....at least we have the wind now which should help us relieve pressure when clearing.

Quoted from Poojah

The best half I've seen from Town since Hurst returned, with the possible exception of the first half at Newport. I still worry about our mental fragility however - the next goal will be massive.

I’d be happy if that next goal comes on Saturday 😉

So much better, 4-4-2 and Lamy makes a huge difference doesn’t it?!

I pray we don’t sit on this now

Quoted from forza ivano

Come on it's the best they've been since Hurst took over. Don't knock it,  Southend losing, Colchester losing wine glass half full and a sure victory.

We need a second goal before Haggers goes off as I'm sure he will and Bunney will automatically replace him

As it stands it's back in our own hands, just saying.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Glass half empty then tonight?

bitter experience makes me that way herts. we could score another 2 and i'd still be stressing!
it's going to be a long 45 minutes!

ps i did say there were a lot of good performances so far

Quoted from forza ivano

He is now

Quoted from promotion plaice

As it stands it's back in our own hands, just saying.

It isn’t, it’s in Barrows hands.

They're playing like we did against Harrogate etc. their a beaten side.

UTM

Quoted from mariner tommy

It isn’t, it’s in Barrows hands.

Yeah realised after I posted it   :B

Bunney on

Atleast Bunney being on in left back means he can't be subbed on to play left wing now.

Quoted from Hagrid

Bunney on

Time for him to prove himself

Quoted from Hagrid

Bunney on

Don't depress me

Good lord imagine if that had gone in

Nearly, goal coming

That was stupid by Coke, high foot, never going to win it

Thought the ref was gonna pull a red on Coke there.

phew...thought he could have gone there....lucky

What was the yellow for. both feet same hieght

Quoted from DB

What was the yellow for. both feet same hieght

For being late, taking the man not the ball

Red would’ve been harsh but seen them given

Town’s work without the ball is the best I’ve seen it since Hurst came back.

Come on lads.

starting to tire now , balls not sticking up top and we are not pushing as much to pick up the second ball.

Still looking good for 3 points

For the first time in ages we are actually looking like a team, we need to play like this more often.

Come on town let's keep this lead get the 3 points and build on it!

Half way through the 2nd half and still doing well

Got to manage the game now just like FGR did on Saturday

Without resorting to out and out cheating of course

UTM

Why was that not a yellow for them?

A couple of the lads starting to look knackered

Great effort from Lamy tonight. Understandably has looked tired in the last 10-15 minutes or so, but a massive breath of fresh air

Come on boys

This is a long 45 utm

Is it time to hide behind the sofa yet?

Lack of pace now Lamy has come off.

Their defending is dire

Need to keep us shape like never before

Great defending by Hendrie.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Need to keep us shape like never before

Are you a Yorkie in disguise

Quoted from supertown

Are you a Yorkie in disguise

If it means we win tonight I’ll be one 😉

Very stressful this

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

If it means we win tonight I’ll be one 😉

I am a Yorkie, come on Town.

Im shitting meself

Mattete has been awesome this half.

This is really f****g painful

6 minutes, come on Town.

No problem lads it's a win, staying up

Come on town!

Come on town, please !

Why have they done this?  Why have they given me hope?

Come on, hold on keep the season alive . Colchester on sat (they are awful)

My father in law was a teacher, told me "I don't mind kids checking their watches, the problem is when they start shaking them to check they're working"
I've shaken mine a dozen times

Good to see Hanson getting a full 90 minutes.

Can't watch

Quoted from promotion plaice

As it stands it's back in our own hands, just saying.

You were right. Take a look at Port Vale who we still have to play.

90 minutes up

4 added minutes

Come on Town

YESSSS THANK YOU YOU ABSOLUTE DONKEY

phew

Get out of jail free card there ....

Fukin come on Town !!!!

That's an absolutely unbelievable miss.  ??)

Feck me, that was close.

oh intercourse LJL looks injured

Howndid he miss that

FFS

oh you stupid flipping girl privates

1-1 feck 😕

Disaster

1-1

😢

I can't believe it. Oh, hang on a minute, yes I can.

Gutted we needed 3 points here

FFS !!!! They don’t deserve that, as soon as he brought Waterfall on I knew it would happen.

Fukin excrement decision from Hurst .

Can’t believe It

Great substitution

What the hell did Hurst make the subs for, we were on top. HURST OUT

intercourse off

I hate football

Yeah bring on Waterfall to go 5 at the back and sit in , Inviting pressure and taking a forward off same every time!! Well done Hurst!!

intercourse you and intercourse your negative substitutions Hurst.

Typical Hurst defensive decisions.

Oh dear  :B :B :B
93rd minute

Well done . Another inspired decision from our masterclass of a manager

Well done Hurst, you feck in useless cu*t!

This is why we are getting relegated

IM OUT

Hurst out, rubbish tactics again and again and again

Waterfall on. Downhill from that moment.
Don't change a team that's winning for goodness sake!

Hurst is a Tw@t!

Fug off Hurst too negative why not just swap position for position to get fresh legs on

i like Hurst but that decision to put Waterfall on has cost us. He is going to get crucified for that

Fug off Hurst too negative why not just swap position for position to get fresh legs on

Hurst flipping out, no doubt he’s flipping delighted with the point. flipping disgraceful that we’ve thrown those precious points away

Typical Paul Hurst!.. Carlisle there for the taking and what's he do, try to hang on to a 1-0 rather than go for the second goal!..

Never learns does he? Concede all of the initiative and turn 3 pts into 1. Not good enough.

Its a real shame when your manager loses you the game!

Despite that being half to half the best performance in quite some time we were the architects of our own undoing. Going defensive and sitting back was a dumb decision but we also needed to take the chances we had better, can see the players thinking it's an injustice with a late equaliser and a disallowed goal early on which was a questionable decision.

For me I think again the subs were wrong late on, should have refreshed our attacking options and pushed on, not put more defenders on and sat back.

I thin lots of managers would have done that, waste more time and park the bus. On a positive note there's been enough evidence for me to start thinking we might escape

So demoralising for all. I’d have fancied us at the weekend but no I don’t

So demoralising for all. I’d have fancied us at the weekend but no I don’t

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Typical Paul Hurst!.. Carlisle there for the taking and what's he do, try to hang on to a 1-0 rather than go for the second goal!..

Practically every game this season the opposition have hung on for a win with similar tactics against us!

Gutted after such a good performance. To be fair we should have been further in front

Feels like a defeat at the moment.
Positvies are we played well anf gained a point on Southend and barrow.

That's done me in. The commentators called it well, we played right into their hands. Hadn't been able to put us under any real pressure all day, so what was the need to throw another centre back on. Them lumping it into our box was the only way they were ever going to score. Fuming.

intercourse off Hurst! Negative subs for a negative result. All you had to do was make like for like subs keep the successful shape bringing fresh legs on and keep pressing high!

No you bring a CM on the wing and go for that stupid lobsided 442 then make the Parslow Maneuver go 532 and sit on the edge of our own area.

Had enough now, we looked good, we looked like we deserved to win for a change and you go and throw it away like that.

Carlisle were awful. No threat whatsoever, so absolutely no need to change things. As needless as bringing Rob Jones on at Rochdale in 2006. At the moment, I'd rather we'd lost 5-0.

Lack of quality on the bench and the managers inner defensive mindset costing us tonight after a good battling strong performance.  We looked tired from 60 mins but with very limited options Hurst hardly had any quality to bring on so leaves tiring players on, conceding more and more ground and possession....which then makes him think we need Waterfall on......who just gets in the way at that throw in and the points are lost.

Hard on the starting team that result after they all worked so hard to get us in a winning position.

Gutted for them.

Its just not meant to be for us this season.

Wouldnt have minded but Mayenese and Hewitt were comfortable all night and probably had there best games!!

Needed a 2nd goal for the win as we always concede.  An example of why I voted not to have Hurst next season.  And he is too cautious, which only encourages the opposition.

Another game where we had that Adams kid on the bench that looked good on the ball and he remains unused. Yet somehow we make these really silly defensive subs when we can see what's working against them. They were getting done all night by midfielders with pace who are good with the ball at feet. Just stick another one on and tell them to run at the defence.

I'm pleased I decided not to watch the match tonight.

Only one person to blame for that, Hurst, ridiculous substitution.

Don’t personally think it’s that outrageous , a manager going defensive to try and protect valuable points ... had he not and same thing happened after an attack broke down people would say he should have shut up shop maybe . , The players nor  hurst  can catch a break at the minute ... hopefully tonight doesn’t damage the players the rock bottom confidence even more .. time is running out

I’ve been a supporter of Hurst in his 2 spells with the club but after that he can intercourse off!!

Most people bring on an outlet he brings on a donkey and invites more pressure on already knackered players.

The players where excellent tonight but their manager let them down, I seem to recall Carlisle away was where it started to turn around for Jolley, after that it might be where it ends for Hurst & us.

Feel really sorry for the players.

Quoted from GrimRob

Practically every game this season the opposition have hung on for a win with similar tactics against us!

That's because we've been truly, truly excrement.

It's Danny flipping Parslow all over again. It's too often countwr-intuitive because you cede territory, you cede initiative, you cede an outlet. Bring on fresh legs in the defence, sure, but don't bring on more defenders just to intercourse with the shape, especially when it's a defender who has been dire by his own standards for far too long. Unbelievably frustrated.

Has to be close if we play like that for the remaining games.
Can't blame Waterfall too much, he came on cold and would not have been up to speed mentally, he's an easy out for last minute panicking by Hurst

Keep us shape (unless you want to invite your opponents to score) 😩

Sometimes you just have to laugh at how excrement we are in absolutely every way

Quoted from buckstown

I thin lots of managers would have done that, waste more time and park the bus. On a positive note there's been enough evidence for me to start thinking we might escape

Agree regarding many other managers on the time wasting but Hurst has eons of form for sitting back and jeopardising slender leads when on top. I was at Chester.

On the positive note - we were playing the rock bottom form team in our division and we mustered two shots on target...

Irrespective of the result it's nice to say " Well played Town "

Quoted from Badger57

That's because we've been truly, truly excrement.

But all Hurst did was an absolutely standard substitution for the position we were in. If he hadn't done it and we'd have conceded he'd probably deserve more criticism than he's got.

URINE OFF BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM HURST YOU NO BRAIN IDIOT,  YOU COST US THE GAME AND OUR LEAGUE STATUS WITH YOUR STUPID OVER DEFENCIVE DECISIONS. YOU JUST DONT HAVE A CLUE . HOPE YOU ARE GONE IN THE MORNING . GO AND GO NOW

Quoted from GrimRob

But all Hurst did was an absolutely standard substitution for the position we were in. If he hadn't done it and we'd have conceded he'd probably deserve more criticism than he's got.

I agree.  
most managers would have done the same

Think a lot of managers would have done the same thing there. Feels like a defeat, so all the focus goes on what happened at the end, not the excellent 90 mins before it. Needed that second goal as insurance.

Gutted!

I might be wrong but I don’t remember a single comment criticising the substitution as it happened. It seemed logical enough at the time.
Hindsight managers always make the right choice I suppose.
There are reasons to be positive. Let’s try not to lose our minds just yet.

I think any lingering hope I had vanished tonight.

We now have 14 games left and probably need to win 8 of them.

Our manager can't see the glaringly obvious  1 goal is never enough. We simply can't soak up pressure without conceding. We just can't. The only way to defend is to keep the ball in the opponents half.

As everyone has pointed out, Hurst is just too negative. To drop points tonight was absolutely criminal.
    

Really disappointing but before KO I'd have settled for a point tonight and 3 on Saturday. So lets take the positives and go again at the weekend.

Quoted from ginnywings

Think a lot of managers would have done the same thing there. Feels like a defeat, so all the focus goes on what happened at the end, not the excellent 90 mins before it. Needed that second goal as insurance.

Yeh it does we’re winning let’s ride our luck and stick with the lads not sub for a centre half ffs and unbalance us and give em hope oh dear but he’s a fullback

I didn't comment on the Fishy at the time because I am busy watching the game not my phone. Son Of and I said to each other here we go 9 defenders its only a matter of time till we concede, we are sat way too deep and giving them as much time as they want to get it wide and cross it. Its not hindsight its looking at the game and seeing where its going wrong.

Quoted from chipsandgravy

Its a real shame when your manager loses you the game!

Surely you are not coming round to my way of thinking Chips ? It was like Chester all over again, and you had to suffer that too !

To be fair, Waterfall simply misjudged the header, he was in the right place and if he’d cleared it then the substitution would’ve looked ok
As others have said, we need to get more than one goal when we are on top  :-/

Waterfall has been a liability all season and this just sums him up . There’s really no justification for bringing him on .

Quoted from RonMariner

Absolutely correct and it has been the same all season.

Putting that last minute cokc-up aside, and with that performance, I think we have a decent chance of avoiding the drop. UTMM!!

How defensive does he have to be before he learns, Orient, Harrogate etc. He's been a manager for donkeys years just another excuse
