...proud supporters of grass roots football

No Williams or Hendrie apparently, be interesting to see if Spokes and / or Jackson are given a start

As an avid darts fan tonight I will give it a miss for this important game. Players need to concentrate on winning, that's it, as what will be will be. UTM

...proud supporters of grass roots football

Bit like his brother Accrington....

Two changes for the Mariners - as expected after Saturday, Luke Hendrie and Giles Coke are out, while Luke Spokes and Julien Lamy return to the side.

TOWN: McKeown, Clifton, Hewitt, Menayese, Habergham, Lamy, Matete, Spokes, Khouri, John-Lewis, Hanson.

Subs: Battersby, Waterfall, Starbuck, Rose, Adlard, Green, Jackson Jr.

Wish them all the very best, but side looks a bit thin.

Let’s hope there are 6 vacancies in EPL very soon. That’s what I would call a result. The greedy 6 will soon find that fans don’t want to watch manure v manshitty every week.

6 less teams in PL! Does that mean all teams would move up and no relegation?

Yes

Adlard ought to have a bit of weight on him...

...not many options from the bench though.

We're looking a bit threadbare for a tough game.

As long as they give it their all. And a bit of the rub of the green wouldn't go amiss.

Looks like we are down to the bare bones, though I could be wrong. Been so many players in and out this season I forget just who is on our books  ::)

Come on town UTM Lets get the 3 points... Paul Hurst's black and white army.. G..T..F..C..

Is this the youngest midfield ever fielded by gtfc? 1 x 18 year old, 2 x 20 year olds and a 21 year old

Come on town.

Decent save by macca after poor pass from spokes

Decent chance there for LJL.

Very open start. Glad to see lamy getting a chance in his natural position

We look like we've got a plan now as a team we are more solid if we had this team and manager at the start of the season we wouldn't be near the bottom.

We're starting to look composed. Few efforts looking good after 10 mins. Apart from early scare they don't look brilliant. Matete starting to look good again.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Rumours are that Chelsea are preparing to withdraw from the ESL and judging by the reaction of Supporters, Arsenal won't be going ahead either.

Nice to see khouri having a confident start.made some good blocks and tackles

That still leaves 4 teams.  Daily Express saying Chelsea have pulled out.

Morcombe look very tidy.

Kouri having a good game so far, wish Spokes would up his game.

Oh No 0-1

Isn’t this a Town match thread?

I’m not bothered about news of teams we’re not involved with....

Loada shite

FFS. We need to make the ball stick up front, we keep exposing our back 4 to those sorts of counters

1-0 down

A lot to do tonight

But they were 1-0 down at their place 🤞

Bad mistake by lamy, morecambe break quickly and Stockton finished very coolly in 1 on 1 with macca

Clifton stood there with his hand up in the air- like harry but cant be doing that

But we’ve got a very very inexperianced team out there

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

1-0 down

A lot to do tonight

But we were 1-0 down at their place 🤞

We were 1-0 up and lost 3-1

Has to be said though we’re absolutely down to bare bones in reality.

Lamy lost it and it's a goal. Couldn't blame Macca with two coming in on him. Not happening for Spokes and Lamy in midfield.

Goodnight Vienna

Getting relegated with a whimper is it then lads, cool ok then

it was coming need to be careful they don't get a 2nd because a dangerous counter attacking side

Looked offside that

Quoted from fishcake63

Errr

Terrible defending

Quoted from Chrisblor

Getting relegated with a whimper is it then lads, cool ok then

Get a grip

Doesn’t this performance just epitomise our season...ply out the clappers one day, roll over and die the next...

0-2

It's over folks.

Colchester 1-0 Southend.

Both goals poor really considering how well we defended on Saturday.

Oh dear, scrappy 2nd. We haven't been very good.as Croft said we are missing the experience and steadiness of coke. The first half hour sort of shows why hurst values experience so much

So how do I get to Kings Lynn?

Game over. Looked a half arsed attempt by McKeown there, seemed more bothered with appealing.

Absolutely awful, no other way of putting it.....spokes is having a mare and Lamy needs to up his game if he wants another contract...

Looks like us and Southend then for the drop.
Very nearly signed and sealed now!
Still hoping though.

Quoted from Hagrid

We were 1-0 up and lost 3-1

I know Hagrid

Hands up to that schoolboy error

Don’t know how I typed that ( but amended it now ;)  )

Meant to say Morecambe 1-0 down yet they turned it around

Doubt we will do what they did and score three

Quoted from Hagrid

Get a grip

What are you on about? This has been rubbish and we've let in two very poor goals in a game we really need to get points from if we want to stay in the league.

Keeper at fault for the second

Here comes the fat lady with the Mezzo- soprano

Colchester take the lead as well

Today shows how important coke’s been. At least we’ll all be put out of our misery by the end of the day, no more clinging to false hope.

Quoted from Chrisblor

We’ve got nothing in midfield. Got a CM at RB. Going down with a whimper? These lads have fought their balderdash off for weeks

Quoted from Hagrid

I'm referring to today, where they've all been excrement, get over it.

That's all folks!
Time to switch to one of the Super League teams (or have they got cold feet) v Brighton.

:P ;D ;D ;D ;D

Badly missing Coke and Clifton in midfield, need to sub Lamy and Spokes. Waterfall in back 4 move Clifton to midfield and Jackson on.

Need a goal and soon.

not going to sugar coat this at all extremly s--t defending on both goals no leadership what so ever , poor team selection clifton not a fullback & sorry but spokes over rose no chance

Quoted from Garth

Keeper at fault for the second

The player was so obviously offside, no wonder everybody stopped.

I’m sorry but I’ve been a town supporter since the 70’s and it’s hard to stomach that Morecambe are a better team than us but they are. We need to finish this season and have a fresh start no matter what division we are playing in.

Quoted from aldi_01

Doesn’t this performance just epitomise our season...ply out the clappers one day, roll over and die the next...

Not really. That would suggest we've been good 21 times!

Quoted from Mariner93er

Today shows how important coke’s been. At least we’ll all be put out of our misery by the end of the day, no more clinging to false hope.

We’ve not just lost Coke we’ve lost Clifton in that area of the park and replaced them with 2 players who are clearly good kids but in reality are still to be good enough for this kind of battle.

Colchester 2-0 Southend

Game Up..
Very Disappointing..
See u all at Kings Lynn - Notts County etc next year
We deserve so much better , but unfortunately not this year
The promise of 2015 gone
Absolutely Gutted 😞

Quoted from Hagrid

We’ve got nothing in midfield. Got a CM at RB. Going down with a whimper? These lads have fought their balderdash off for weeks

Trouble is we are still bottom and haven't made any headway on catching the teams above.

I thought it before the game and I definitely think it now, it was the wrong team. Could have brought Waterfall in to allow Hewitt to go right back and put Clifton in to CM. I'd have played Ira wide instead of Khouri (it's asking too much of him). It's all a bit moot as Colchester are playing us out of it but it's still disappointing nonetheless.

Quoted from arryarryarry

Trouble is we are still bottom and haven't made any headway on catching the teams above.

I know

Havent seen you since saturdays win

You know what? I'll take relegation if Fenty's finally gone. This season needs to be finished off with a jack.

Great save from John Lewis shot, menayese should of scored

It’s ironic they we came back into the league that day versus Morcombe and they’re the ones who are putting one of the final nails in by the looks of it.

Remember when we were 2-0 up against them at BP and lost 3-2.

Can we turn the tables?

Doubt it.

Ah man. I think the 2nd was offside but colchester 2-0 up. Heartbreaking

Not sure what Hurst can do at half time, Waterfall on and Hewitt in midfield?

Quoted from pen penfras

The player was so obviously offside, no wonder everybody stopped.

The problem is they shouldn't have stopped.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Not sure what Hurst can do at half time, Waterfall on and Hewitt in midfield?

Waterfall against this quick Morecombe strike force would be suicidal.

Quoted from Morris Minor

Goodnight Vienna

I suppose that's about as close as we'll get to Europe

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Not sure what Hurst can do at half time, Waterfall on and Hewitt in midfield?

Resign hopefully

Well that was poor. Hardly acceptable from any one of them in reality.
Lamy, Spokes and Khouri bringing nothing to the party, LJL doing his normal hard working but fluffing up, aimless tactics in use.
Players trudging off look defeated.

Going down with a sh1t show based on that 45mins.

Quoted from Azimuth

Resign hopefully

Idiot

Shambles

Big improvement & changes needed 2nd half , altho colchester winning 2-0 certainly puts a dampener on things utm

As bad as we are, we've had chances and spoofed them, with a bit of thought and effort can see us getting a draw to keep the run goiñg.
Too late anyway were down, but nice to not lose

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Not sure what Hurst can do at half time, Waterfall on and Hewitt in midfield?

think DB got it right.Waterfall on, 3 at the back. Clifton into midfield replacing Spokes and Ira coming on to replace lamy on RHS. Khouri has actually been about the steadiest of all the midfield - certainly hasn't made as many mistakes

Nothing much in it really re chances, We have simply missed our chances (as usual) and they have finisherd theirs. Has Macca had to make a good save yet? or Morcambe missed a load of sitters -Bolton created far more on Sat than they have. We are down even if we win today (We were down when we lost at home to Stevenage)

Just pray for pride. Dont come bottom

We need 3 goals even if Colchester win, and then grab some straws to clutch.

Excellent from Rolin ....

Great last ditch stop by menayese macca bit slow of line imo

flipping yards offside

Quoted from Hagrid

flipping yards offside

Looked so to me.

Lamy looks like he’s not got a clue what’s happening unfortunately and the centre midfield just doesn’t look to have any confidence. LJL and Hanson have only one game and it’s not working.

Personally, I’d bring in ira instead of spokes to play behind the front 2

I can only say it's a great relief going into the second half absolutely relaxed and not like a cat on speed on top of a very hot tin roof. It's over. We're down. Acceptance is a great thing. It is as it it is. Cool.
UTM.

Quoted from Hagrid

Idiot

Hurst still has a worse points per game total than Holloway.

Doesnt look like Rose has got much of a  future at BP does it?

Quoted from forza ivano

Doesnt look like Rose has got much of a  future at BP does it?

Had completely forgotten about him. Similar value for money this season as his Spurs namesake.

Quoted from arryarryarry

Hurst still has a worse points per game total than Holloway.

That’s because he’s spent most of his time back trying to sort Hollowheads f**k ups out.

15 mins gone, huffed and puffed but getting nowhere fast.

Quoted from Hagrid

Idiot

Entitled to my opinion without abuse, I am not blindly happy clapping a fool of a manager.

Fat lady’s busy

Quoted from HertsGTFC

You mean Holloway's intercourse ups that have managed more points than Hurst has?

Missing some chances here

Quoted from Azimuth

Entitled to my opinion without abuse, I am not blindly happy clapping a fool of a manager.

All about opinions but if any of our managers this season can be classed as a fool it’s not the current incumbent 🙄

Jesus ref let it flow

Thought that was going in as it just drifted wide

I hope Hurst is here next season, I think he can get us back up and knows his stuff at the lower leagues. He will sort the team out for next year. In Hurst we trust!!

Game of chances we miss ours they take em simple as that

Quoted from Wrights35

WUM

Quoted from arryarryarry

In the process of making us such a force in league 2 it’s interesting to see the impact they had on the great FA Cup run we had under Holloway.

Yeah get the points thing and you’re right about that, the fact you’ve got it in for Hurst isn’t lost on anyone on here.

They're good at time wasting.

Quoted from fishcake63

Game of chances we miss ours they take em simple as that

It was ever thus. We've had plenty of opportunities in recent games but we haven't got the payers of sufficient skill to bury a decent percentage of them.

This is flipping toss...

Classic waterfall?’! Give it a rest Chris. If he didnt get anything on it the morecambe player was gonna score. Shite from spokes

*tiresome fat lady singing comment*

We lack quality all over the pitch, glad when this season is over to hopefully off load 90% of them

Unlucky there by Waterfall he had to get something on it... Just how it goes but not his fault.

I’m a huge critic of waterfall but either way that was going in. Spokes was toss in midfield again...

Quoted from Chrisblor

Classic Waterfall

I’m not a fan of his but if he hadn’t have stuck out a leg and their player had scored he’d have been slaughtered.

That's it ladies n gents, the big lass is singing a song... heartbroken but we go again in the NL...
Paul Hurst has a massive task on his hands, he's going to have to build a completely new squad....

Quoted from Hagrid

Yes, Waterfall unlucky there, good initial block but got stuck under his leg and bounced in

I don't have it in for anybody, sadly some on here just don't like simple facts.

Someone told me it was 3-0 more than two minutes before they (we) scored the third - it was on the BBC site

Just checked on the live BET365 timer and my iFollow is over 4 minutes behind the actual game

Rubbing salt in to the wound

Next season we need to go back to our game of passing football, the long ball to Hanson's head which when he wins it, is headed to the opposition is crap

Quoted from Wrights35

I hope Hurst is here next season, I think he can get us back up and knows his stuff at the lower leagues. He will sort the team out for next year. In Hurst we trust!!

Im guessing you though Neil Woods was the man to take us back up last time

Simple I-Follow is about 3 minutes behind real time. Flashscores gives you instant goals.
So you can see a goal has been scored before it's on i-follow

3rd goal like their first is down to Spokes who lost it again. Why Hurst left him on I don't know. He was having a howler in the 1 st half never the second.

Quoted from Azimuth

Pornhub down?

No, of course you dont.busy on here again tonight, almost complete silence on saturday

This is a bit reminiscent of the 3-0 defeat we had against Torquay in 2010

11 years on and what’s changed?

That’s it

FT 0-3

😐

Sh1t. Tried hard...but just not good enough.

Tried hard...same story through most of Hursts reign
Just not good enough...same story all season.

Few tears. And thats okay because football is more than a game. Think i’ll see the season out and detach from
Social media and football for a good few months

We do at least have new owners.  A fresh start to try and rebuild.  

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Not a lot in reality

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

We do at least have new owners.  A fresh start to try and rebuild.  

We do ... but this club not only needs a change in direction it needs a massive influx of cash to entice a better quality of player otherwise our stay in the NL could be like last time

In reality it was over a while ago doesn't make it any easier to swallow , miracle required now  & i'm convinced we can't win 3 on spin sorry

It’s over now. Well done Fenty. Taken us out of the EFL twice. Not many owners can say that.

Quoted from RonMariner

It’s over now. Well done Fenty. Taken us out of the EFL twice. Not many owners can say that.

To use an old football phrase....Back to Square One

It's all a bit like Snakes and Ladders isn't it....

I'll leave you to decide who fits the bill in respect of being a snake and who will be providing us with a ladder

Doh I posted it was the best game of the season but you were probably too busy licking Paul Hurst's bottom to read it.

juvenile stuff.
facts speak for themselves - half a dozen posts after tonights poor performance. ONE post after Town's best display of the season.
i just wish you and others could be a little more objective and even handed

Time to rebuild and go again

We'll be back !

UTM

Good old Hurst, will screw us up next season as well

I'm not Hurst's biggest fan but he can't win sometimes.

Yesterday he picked Spokes over Rose, leaving us inexperienced, but early on in his reign when Spokes was nowhere to be seen there were people crying almost that Spokes is frozen out when he's the best thing since bread and butter! So now he plays him and he has a poor game Hurst gets criticised by the same people who only a few months ago were wanting Spokes to play.

Similar with Clifton in RB, if Hurst moved Hewitt to RB and put Waterfall in CB then he would get criticised for this...so he doesn't do it and he gets criticised for not doing it when we all know the reaction would be similar if he did do it!

Similar when we had him last time some of the abuse he got was way OTT namely Halifax away and the Hurst out banner which made an appearance after the first leg of the play off semi final.

People are happy criticising him for not doing what he wants them to do but when he finally does do what they want he still gets criticised for doing it and then they start crying and having sleepless nights about a 5 second ear cup he did, but no doubt they were proudly and passionately chanting "Hursty is a male masturbator" at Halifax away.

As I said at the head of this post I'm not his biggest fan but even still it is obvious to me he can't win and he gets some unfair stick at times.

Down, out & gutted.

Will take a few days to get over, and will hit again once official confirmed.

The only very very minor upside to last night, is we now know, and Hurst and Stockwood can get together and get this club moving in the right direction finally.

The fans will be back
The club will be back

With Stockwood, Pettit & Hurst, we will then move forward

If he does what the fans want and we win, the fans are geniuses.

If he does what the fans want and we lose, Hurst is a clown.
