Stronger than the booze at a Mike Newell training session.

Probably our strongest 11 at the minute. Be interesting when Scanell is fit if he breaks into the team.

OK.  I risk the chance of winning 'football twit of the wee'.  WHy can  I never find where the commentary is?

Really drunk off that l had spent time filling in a prediction but couldnt post it . Ok for you guys in Humberside area l can see that there might be a reason to close an hour before but l live in Leicester and dont get any commentary until kick off, so no advantage to me. I was trying to post 3 0 to town waterfall, mcatee and clifton 2875 crowd 710 away.

yeah unfortunately i have changed this so its now an hour before KO, i had mentioned this before, and the thread has been up since Thursday evening.

I could allow it but then whats the point in doing it an hour before KO.  Just trying to keep it fair is all.

Some more Maidenhead related trivia for you; Kane Ferdinand who starts for the home side today is the cousin of singer songwriter Franz Ferdinand, who came to prominence with the 2004 hit single ‘Take me out’.

Wrexham already 1 up at Stockport

Definitely more town here than home fans

I may be mistaken but I understand Nathan Blissett who is on the bench for them is also the nephew of Luther Vandross.

That’s very funny if true. Suggest Matt does some brushing up on his knowledge of WW1, or at least noughties indie music…

Coke having a shite game again

Quoted from golfer

Coke having a shite game again

He speaks highly of you as well.

We started well, but it sounds like we're playing like we did at Stockport, playing very flat and very deep, letting Maidenhead have far too much of the ball.

We need to pick up the tempo and get up the pitch, press Maidenhead we know how poor CBs in this league are if you put pressure on them.

Not just Coke!

Quoted from golfer

Coke having a shite game again

Did he Clone your Season ticket?

Presumably ( I hope ) Hursts' tactics are to see what Maidenhead has to offer, let them use their energy up, and hit them hard in the 2nd half.

Definitely a win, we just have to be patient.

Very sluggish today, haven't got going yet. See the moaners are salivating right now at a less than stellar start hoping for a bad result so they can make 100 threads of negativity.

Quoted from Poojah

I personally think Matt is correct, I seem to remember that Franz Ferdinand was the Archduke of Austria and for some reason the band was named after him.  

I typed that when we were flat but it sounds more promising now.  :)

we need more students of history like yourself. these chaps have it right [url]https://alternatephotographicarchives.bigcartel.com/[/url]

Last 10 minutes have been much better

If we get the ball down for a bit we’ll win the game.

Notts County losing at Altrincham. Dagenham we’re behind against Solihull, but are now 2-1 up. Sides at this level aren’t just there to roll over.

Clean sheet so far; we have the firepower to win it.

HT....0-0

Come on Town

Meanwhile in League Two Scunny are 1-0 down at home to Port Vale, and in the bottom two as things stand.

Getting a grip now, still can’t understand why Sousa is on the left though.

Sounds like we're getting a head of steam up. You can hear the Town fans over the commentary making a terrific sound. A win would make us joint top, we badly need a goal from somewhere.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Getting a grip now, still can’t understand why Sousa is on the left though.

Hadn't realised that!

Gritts not a fan of Taylor is he! Does seem as though its been a flat performance

Goalscorer last week, sent off today Ira Jackson settling in well!

Hunt off, strange?

Get in.....0-1 Town

get in :-)

SOUSA!!!!

0-1 UTM
Sousa's first goal

Joint Top

SOUSA!!!!!!

Goalllll  took some getting but got there in the end

alphabetically second in the league :-)

Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss

1-0 UTM

Yessss get in

Sousa on the left ....... master stroke.

Get in there!!!!

Yes get in.

The Pearson point  ;D ;D ;D

Up to 2nd as it stands

FFS

That’s all because we’ve been completely unable to keep the ball in midfield all game.

Good finish soft goal in reality though.

Hurst out

Dammit. Dont throw it away town

That bloody Ferdinand.  Starting wars and scoring equalisers.

:(

Oh flipping heck

Fúcking Kane Ferdinand and his musical connections.

I will take a draw we've not been at out best today.

Sh!t, we didn't need that.

Fúcking Kane Ferdinand and his musical connections. Should’ve taken him out.

Argh!

Sake  ::)

Deffo not at our best today , need to beat these teams if we want to go up . . but will take a point and move on

Quoted from Getyourfactsright

Yessss get in

It went downhill at this point. Coincidence?

Doesnt sound like we’ve deserved 3 points. Take a point and move on

Unfortunately couldn’t make the game today, however a point wouldn’t be the end of the world. By the sounds of it, we have been far from at our best, and the best teams pick up points when they’re not playing at their best, we didn’t play particularly great against Eastleigh, however we were able to pick up points. As long as ‘not playing at our best’ doesn’t drag on for too long, we will certainly be up there.

Quoted from LH

It went downhill at this point. Coincidence?

No it went downhill when he took Sousa off for Pearson in an effort to hold on and shut up shop instead of going for a second goal

Wrexham losing makes me feel better

Would love to see the stats on removing an attacker for a defender while holding a 1 goal lead late into the half.

Quoted from LH

It went downhill at this point. Coincidence?

Still here to spy on the fans and make sure nobody forgets he controls the fans' forum.

Point better than nothing, undefeated we move on, upwards to the EFL.

We Still need that extra forward

Quoted from Poojah

Fúcking Kane Ferdinand and his musical connections. Should’ve taken him out.

Where's Gavrilo Princip when you need him?

Wikk take a point win on Tuesday utm

Oh well...still undefeated and we don't want to peak too soon.

Quoted from Ipswin

No it went downhill when he took Sousa off for Pearson in an effort to hold on and shut up shop instead of going for a second goal

Agree.   Should have brung LJL on and let him hold it up in their half.  

Better when we go behind.

I know there are a lot of Hurst lovers on here but he never learns, another flipping Parslow moment.

There was no flipping need to make that change. Three centre halves on the pitch and they still score from a free header

Two points chucked away.

Well its a point, could be worse, can't believe he took off one of our best players who would be on a high at that point. Send your red xs I have dared a tadge of critisism.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Would love to see the stats on removing an attacker for a defender while holding a 1 goal lead late into the half.

We did it against wrexham and scored soon after. Sorry if that doesnt fit the agenda

Still unbeaten despite what sounded like a very below par performance.
Disappointing......... but that's a marker of how far our standards have risen this season already.

UTM

Disappointing disjointed performance today, we never seemed to be in fear of losing and except for taking the lead we never really looked like winning either.

Really disappointed in Hurst returning to his old ways with the Parslow sub, instead of pushing for a 2nd and securing the win.

We are still undefeated and in the top 3

Quoted from Kris2

Still here to spy on the fans and make sure nobody forgets he controls the fans' forum.

Only because not all of the mods can bin users off. He’d have gone years ago otherwise.

Absolutely sh!t today. This team isn’t good enough to win the league but no way this team finishes beneath 7th.

Still haven't lost a game which is a start we've not seen in years. We were due a disappointing result, just seemed like we couldn't get ourselves going into a rhythm but we managed to get a goal then decided to let them come at us.

Quoted from LH

Only because not all of the mods can bin users off. He’d have gone years ago otherwise.

Doubt Rob would allow it. Seems quite happy to let Fenty get what he wants.

2 points thrown away by a negative substitution. We weren’t playing well but our width was causing them problems. The substitution made it easier for Maidenhead.

Quoted from Mariner_501

Absolutely sh!t today. This team isn’t good enough to win the league but no way this team finishes beneath 7th.

Go away

Only just got back to my computer. We are unbeaten, you won't play well every week however in the grand scheme of things it's a point gained away from home rather than two lost for me.

We can slag Hurst for the defensive substitute which he does often make but as mentioned earlier on here he put Sousa on the left which is abit of a stroke as he scored his first goal. Let's take the point and move on, back to winning ways next game.

Quoted from Ipswin

No it went downhill when he took Sousa off for Pearson in an effort to hold on and shut up shop instead of going for a second goal

Yes I have to say my heart sank with that substitution.
I wasn't there - but it seems that usually when we swap a forward for a defender near the end of a game, & invite the opposition to come at us it goes awry.
Still though disappointed  - I accept that PH has exceeded expectations thus far & we remain undefeated. UTM.

Always happy with an away point, despite being 10mins from another win. Won't click every week, but if you can't win, don't lose. Every point counts and if we'd gone behind, then equalised, people would feel different.

Personally feel that there is still a bit of improvement to come from this side, which don't forget was only put together in the summer.

Still a great start to the season, whichever way you slice it.

Quoted from Hagrid

We did it against wrexham and scored soon after. Sorry if that doesnt fit the agenda

Was a fortunate break away from the oppo's corner so forrnation had little to do with it I'd say. Hurst is risk averse, that's just the approach he has. I'd have been bringing on LJL to help the ball stick up top or Bapaga to give them some fresh pace to think about.  But that's just me. Considering the overall performance, we can't be unhappy with a point, just not at the races.

Just realised we can play a full team of 10 outfield players who have scored a goal, bet thats the quickest weve ever been able to do that in a season

As for the result, its only dissapointing because of how good weve been so far, we could go top on tuesday, UTM!

Quoted from Hagrid

I’m pretty certain Hurst brought on Pearson after Max Wright’s clinching goal against Wrexham.

Excellent point.

Ten different scorers after seven games. Can't be often that happens with any side.

Still think we ned another striker no 9 style  and another experianced defender.. we giving too many chances away every game . Can see us getting a tonking soon if we keep on like this

Teachers pet

Fair enough i apologise

Quoted from GollyGTFC

2 points thrown away by a negative substitution. We weren’t playing well but our width was causing them problems. The substitution made it easier for Maidenhead.

Did it? In theory 3 at the back adds extra numbers in mid field which in theory should make it harder to ply through us to their forwards.

My view isn’t about the substitutions it’s about players not doing their jobs, there is no way they should have scored a goal like that while we had 3 CB’s on the pitch.

Win on tuesday and we be top of the table . What more do you want ?

A point away is not too bad but i do think the substitution had a say in it, im not gonna say anything negative.

Just onto the next.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

My view isn’t about the substitutions it’s about players not doing their jobs, there is no way they should have scored a goal like that while we had 3 CB’s on the pitch.

From where I was sat it looked like we set up with 5 at the back so taking Sousa off took a player out of midfield, not only that but our only recognized wide player. After they scored we were sadly lacking not having a wide player and looked pretty clueless.

So for me despite the defenders not doing their job it was that substitution that did for us.

This team has given me more joy in  6 games than the previous 4 squads have in entire seasons …. I’ll forgive the odd off day , and not expect them to play well every game nor win every single game … life’s good , don’t stress over a draw UTM

Play sh1t away and get a point? I’ll take that

We go again on Tuesday. Brilliant turn out from the town faithful as usual. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Quoted from bigbadmarinerbob

Win on tuesday and we be top of the table . What more do you want ?

As it stands Chesterfield could be top, even if we win.

Let's see if I've got it right with what I have read on various threads over the last few weeks. Hurst gathers a squad of players, some of whom people think are crap. They just need time to gel if we're lucky and if we are fortunate might, just might get us into the play off's. O, we won't score because we don't have a No. 9.

Fast forward, undefeated this season, on a roll, 10 different scorers, and 3rd in the table. But Hurst got it wrong! We didn't get the 3 points today. Then of course you could be a Wrexham fan and spend big, to lose to Town and Stockport; struggling to make 7th place.

Like it or not we're looking good, in a good place without a recognised No9. Yes, hiccups along the way but looking at the BIG teams in the league we're doing alright.

Win our game in hand we will be 8 points clear of Wrexham who have out spent all of the division by a canter. And that's only after 8 games. Keep the positivity and keep the faith ladies and gents, all for one and one for all.

Hurst will make mistakes and get things wrong, but how much has he got right so far?

My view isn’t about the substitutions it’s about players not doing their jobs, there is no way they should have scored a goal like that while we had 3 CB’s on the pitch.

2 centre backs against 2 forwards is easy as both know who they are picking up. 3 centre backs against 2 forwards means there is always one not picking somebody up.

It appears Towler & Waterfall both left the goal scorer to each other and nobody picked him up.

Yes it was an off day, but for all his good work to date, the manager cost us that game.

I have respect for Alan Devonshire but Maidenhead are complete non-entities. Disappointing 🙁

Today…
There were at least three fights broke out with Town fans fighting each other.
Come on people let’s stick together rather than fight each other.
Take a step back and calm down if emotions are running high.

Not replying to anyone in particular but it seems to me that, after 7 games, we should look at how important and indicative the substitution was today. Maybe Paul did have a Parslow moment, maybe he did't. Lets see what he does next time a similar situation presents itslef
