Team news been out for a while so I'll do it   :)

Grimsby Town: McKeown, Efete, Pearson, Waterfall (c), Crookes, Clifton, Hunt, Fox, Sousa, Bell, Taylor.

Substitutes: Towler, Revan, Coke, Bapaga, McAtee.

Just said on twitter, pleased to see Coke dropped, hopefully with this midfield we'll move the ball quicker and sharper.
Interesting to see how Bell does.

Like the look of that midfield, should see Fox deeper.

Very strong bench

Solihull's ground is absolutely male masturbation. Middle of nowhere and the only food in the away end is a cash only burger van. Can't wait to go home.

Looks a much more positive lineup that

Quoted from Abdul19

Like the look of that midfield, should see Fox deeper.

Nah, Hunt will play the deeper of the three with Fox and Clifton doing the closing and linking with the forward

Feeling hopeful for tonight's team, come on Town!

Quoted from chaos33

Very strong bench

Not withstanding the fact that young Bell is a bit of an unknown quantity, I think this is the best we’ve lined up in a few weeks. Certainly our best midfield 3 in my opinion, and hopefully Bell gives us something for Taylor to play-off.

Then the bench has something for every scenario as the game plays on. A very tricky game this no doubt, one of our trickiest yet, but I’m confident we can get something from this - I’d take a point at this stage.

I have to take a work video call at 9:30 however, so it would be much appreciated if we could have ourselves at least 3 goals to the good by about 9:25. That’s not asking for too much, is it?

Quoted from Bignic69

Deeper than Friday night is what I meant to say

Poor goal to concede. Defence split down the left. All the time in the world for the cross and eventual finish.

Yes, i've got an FM radio on  :)

Must be an issue at Humberside because the other none league commentaries are working

Online is not available for you tonight Humberside have just tweeted

Sousa may as well be playing for them. Keeps giving the ball away or running it out when in possession and hasn't been tracking back at all which is what allowed the start of the move they scored from.

No idea if they'll sort their act out online. But the good old car radio has it on 95.9

Quoted from barralad

Poor goal to concede. Defence split down the left. All the time in the world for the cross and eventual finish.

Thank you for the brief comment on the goal, quite concerning as there has been too many times we have looked sloppy defensively, even in games we havent conceded we have still looked rather suspect imo.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Sousa may as well be playing for them. Keeps giving the ball away or running it out when in possession and hasn't been tracking back at all which is what allowed the start of the move they scored from.

Ive a friend at the game, says there is big gaps between back 4 and the middle

Bell and Taylor linking well, Sousa off the pace a bit, they have had a (CB?) subbed with injury

The icecream man has just come down our street - going to have a 99

tuesday away days becoming very concerning

Quoted from golfer

The icecream man has just come down our street - going to have a 99

He's an optimist in this fcking weather

Corner from Hunt, picked out Pearson, header cleared off the line for another corner which comes to nothing

Good old Yeovil scored v Bromley

Just Tuesdays?

We are coming back in the game, but MF not really doing it yet, Fox has lost the ball a bit, Hunt not mentioned much but coming in to it, Clifton busy but not much quality yet and has now switched wings with Sousa

Quoted from KingstonMariner

He's an optimist in this fcking weather

I live in The Bahamas

Hunt has been tidy in midfield, Fox keeps misplacing passes. Bell looks like a player who has only had one training session and isn't fully sure what his role is. Has some decent pace on him though.

A couple of cheap free kicks being given away by us, and now they have a corner..., but cleared, and Efete carries and gets pulled back for a FK

flipping wake up Sousa

Guy in his bedroom can do something the BBC can't

Good work by Sousa, corner, header just over by Waterfall, he feels he should've done better

Waterfall heads over

not only his end product tonite , looks like he playing for sollihull

Sounds like we are putting a few passes together, but just the final link missing.  They sound like they are capable of getting another though if we aren't careful

boreham 1 down

Fox with a shot 2 yards wide, tried to bend it

Pearson Booked

The schedule on Hullberside BBC SOUNDS had the Solihull v Town commentary on it tonight.

This would never have been allowed to happen to Hull City.

Sousa booked

Not tested the keeper at all

Sousa gets megged then fouls the opponent and is in the book as a result. He's been tragically bad this half and needs to come off.

Quoted from Hagrid

Pearson Booked

Apparently he "got away with it" according to JT

Sousa just been booked though after "reacting" to being nutmegged!

Quoted from promotion plaice

JT will have forgotten his internet computer or something

Need to make changes in midfield/ wide before it’s to late

Keep this up and we willbe down to 9 men soon

Bromley level now  :(

McAtee for Sousa anyone?

Fearing early season promise will come to nowt

Quoted from supertown

Bromley level now  :(

Losing again   :)

Quoted from MuddyWaters

McAtee for Sousa anyone?

Sounds a likely half time change

It’s looking like a very good night for Chesterfield tonight.

1-0 down at HT, Grovesy thinks we should make changes

I like Sousa, but maybe a straight swap for Bapaga?, but cant see PH making a change this soon

Just had 2 corners, both caught by their keeper as too close to him

Not working hard enough. They are closing us down and we are wasting possession so easily

Not working hard enough. They are closing us down and we are wasting possession so easily

Sousa is an odd one , he looks like he has got it but fails to deliver so many times .

On the bright side Scunny are losing at home  :)

A lot to do but plenty of time to do it. Got to say, been thinking since last night 'what the hell is the point in this new twitter feature?' Well now I know! What a legend

Quoted from lee65

Just had 2 corners, both caught by their keeper as too close to him

McAtee, fitness permitting, and Bapaga seem the obvious choices. Along with Taylor, those two have probably given us more on terms of ‘end product’ than anyone this season.

A goal for Town early in the second half changes the game.

I enjoyed RH's apology then to Online Listeners who can't tune in.

Surely they wouldn't be able to hear that apology?  ;D

Terrible first half performance. Looked clueless in final third and have only threatened from corners (and even with those Hunt has floated his last two straight into their keeper's arms). Clifton and Sousa have been offering nothing on the wings. Crookes is looking uncomfortable and they're having a lot of success when they do attack down our left. We've had most of the possession though, just haven't done anything at all with it. Taylor's trying his best but isn't really getting any service, and Bell looks a bit lost and hasn't really impacted the game at all yet. Think we need to get Bapaga or McAtee on asap.

Tondeur just nearly said Solimull Whores.

Come on town , I hate going to bed miserable . Turn this around please

Bapaga and McAtee for Sousa and Bell hopefully but no doubt Hurst will wait and wait as usual. Other than injury does he ever sub anyone at HT?

Quoted from supertown

Sousa is an odd one , he looks like he has got it but fails to deliver so many times .

Thats why he is 27 and only at this level

Central Midfield starting to look like a problem that’s costing us regularly .incoming needed here now .

What the hell has happened to the free flowing on the front foot team we had a few weeks ago ,, We are now like a strugling mid table outfit with little hope

Quoted from Ipswin

Bapaga and McAtee for Sousa and Bell hopefully but no doubt Hurst will wait and wait as usual. Other than injury does he ever sub anyone at HT?

I wish we could sub you at HT but we live and let live.

Quoted from prestonmariner

I enjoyed RH's apology then to Online Listeners who can't tune in.

Surely they wouldn't be able to hear that apology?  ;D

That's like the old snooker commentator: "For those of you with black and white sets, it's the one behind the green ball."

Bapaga must be wondering what he has done wrong

Suprise Suprise  no changes

RH couldn't even get us back for the start of the 2nd half on time.

We've scored 2 in 5.5 games. Simply hasn't been good enough for the last month and something has to change. Need a spark from somewhere, probably gonna have to be McAtee from the bench.

Think if we lose tonight we all need a reappraisal of what can be expected
Too many moneybags elsewhere
Not enough quality in cleethorpes me thinks….

flipping hell…pass me the rope…

Early corner for them, sounded a bit lucky to get it away

Quoted from DB

2nd half commentary

Don't know how but we're still 3rd in the table as it stands.

Right Sousa Off now Paul ffs

Sounds like the last 5 performances when we dont score early, we are unable to break down a team that just sits in and waits to break

Bapaga and McAtee sent to warm up (after a lack of control by Sousa)

Mariners corner but drilled over everyone

Mariners fans easy to hear on the radio

We struggle to break down teams that sit back.

Sounds like a typical hurst`s team , starting to get  boaring to watch and see.. easily sussed out  and now beaten by pub teams

Quoted from denni266

There can't be that many boars to hunt in this country.

Another corner for town. Most likely wasted

Another corner for us (comes to nothing)

Sousa off for McAtee, pushing Bell wider?

Quoted from KingstonMariner

There can't be that many boars to hunt in this country.

Guess you aint been out in cleethorpes on a weekend then for a while  ;D ;)

Fans really giving some great encouragement

Corner to them.....

Soussa off thank goodness, time for McAtee to get another goal

... comes to nothing

Still not a shot.

Good break by McAtee but cant quite find Taylor or Clifton

Sounding better though

Dont get how you can be too cautious to give our best player no more than 30 minutes of football when hes been fit for a week and came on and looked fine on saturday, but not too cautious to start a 19 year old loanee who literally turned up yesterday

Another corner from the right for us

Fans sound  in good voice

Sousa must have had a shocker for Hurst to take him off so early.

Need to do more with these corners.

Headed away easily

Quoted from Poojah

Need to do more with these corners.

Wasted every one

All over them now. Very important 20:mins for our season

It's a lot better with McAtee on, they seem to have started to up their game. Ref's sounds crap letting them time waste.

McAtee played between MF and attack, creating a lot already, others now sounding more prominent as a result

Grovesy thinks the ref needs to book them for time wasting

Is the co commentator Paul Groves? He seems very knowledgeable, it's a shame his management career never worked out.

2-0 game over

flipping hell

Fuck off

2-0 FFS

2-0.
Game over.

Thats all folks

2  --  0

Absolutely urine weak goal to concede. Useless from Clifton and utterly abject from McKeown

intercourse it, that's it. Goodnight!

Corner headed off the line from Pearson, they broke, 2 v 2 and scored, questions by JT and PG about Macca?

Sh!t  2 down and our momentum has gone, not even a sucker punch, 2 on 2 and they score :D

wow how we conceded that , poor poor play

Well thats it then

Our form the last 6 games has been absolutely shite

Need a goal in the next 5 mins to lift us.

Quoted from lee65

Corner headed off the line from Pearson, they broke, 2 v 2 and scored, questions by JT and PG about Macca?

Was appalling from him. The lad scuffed it and McKeown basically fell down in the opposite direction. The shot was nearly straight down the middle of the goal ffs

Please can we have the team back that played Barnet

This isnt good enough. Seasons blowing up in our face

If the first goal was poor that was absolutely abject. Their six yard box to our goal in ten seconds without a single Town player getting close.

Quoted from Abdul19

Fuck off

Hope that wasn't directed at Hurst  8)

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

Our form the last 6 games has been absolutely shite

Have a look at the fixture list - don’t expect it to get much better over the next 6.

Oh dear, go buy some quality players Paul like the other teams keep doing. Chesterfields championship to lose considering they still have about 7 first team injuries but doesn't matter if you have a quality squad, and a goalscorer starting every game.

Flattered to deceive against poor opposition . Question marks now if we can even make the play offs with this sort if form lately .

Oh well, that's that then. We're obviously not as good as we were hoping we were.  :o

I've supported Macca but it's time for a change. Cost us another needless goal.

Mid table mediocrity. Poor from McKeown again.

Out of top 3 now as Halifax beating Wrexham

6 points behind Chesterfield, shame as most other results more or less going for us

Quoted from DB

I've supported Macca but it's time for a change. Cost us another needless goal.

Yes, fair call

Quoted from DB

I've supported Macca but it's time for a change. Cost us another needless goal.

I like the look of the kiwi

Forget other results our form is dreadful we won’t finish top ten at this rate , hurst never did challenge for this title and we won’t be challenging this season same old

The problem is Hurst   same old same old .. he has had 11 months and how many games has he won . And dont tell me he needs time unless its behind bars . Something has gone on behind closed doors Cannot see any other reason for a whole team to go down hill so quickley ,, New owners need to act and act quickley, Never mind leaving all the football side to Hurst  thats stupid  everything is going down the pan

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Mid table mediocrity. Poor from McKeown again.

Back to the reality of supporting town I’m afraid

Quoted from lee65

Yes, fair call

Agreed. Don't think I've ever actually criticised Macca, but if Crocombe doesn't start Saturday then really what's the point? That what I would be thinking if I was him anyway.

This is more than a blip, this is turning into a complete rut and it’s simply not good enough

Macca Out, Hurst Out, Radio humberside Out, see you on Saturday

Quoted from bawarmy

I like the look of the kiwi

Green in the middle and furry on the outside?

It wasn't for the want of trying, we seemed to have lost our attacking edge completely, or could it just be that we played the worst teams in the first 10 games and now we're coming up against quality opposition we aren't that good...
To be honest this Ricky patch started at home against Yeovil, we were dreadful that day and apart from an half decent game against Notts County we've been awful up front and started leaking goals....yep, I'm gonna say it, the bubbles going down like the Titanic at this rate

flipping aldershot and Wealdstone are not quality opposition

Quoted from Hagrid

flipping aldershot and Wealdstone are not quality opposition

Better than us on the day!!..

Annoying thing it’s all stuff we know already . McKeown and alternative option available. Sousa no end product an alternative lad on the bench who has won four penalties and scored goals. No pace at the back to cover breaks Towler on the bench.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Green in the middle and furry on the outside?

That’s the fella. I couldn’t spell his surname if I’m honest.

Were we fooled by the early season results? If not, what the fook has happened? Surely the loss of one key player cannot affect the confidence and momentum of the rest of them, the hope we all had and now have lost is really depressing and so GTFC.
Feel absolutely sick.

Heres a theory, our squads actually quite good, but the more theyve been coached, the worse theyve got

Maybe the squad isn't as good as what people think and we were fooled by the great start. We look more like a mid table team atm rather than play off team.

Quoted from Hagrid

flipping aldershot and Wealdstone are not quality opposition

I know .. but they still done us … lazy appointment from the new owners imo he had half a season to save us FAILED and now med table is looming cos that’s what we are a mid table side in tier 5

I feel exactly the same. Sick and depressed.

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

He’s been shite for ages but your not allowed to say it on here

I’ve been saying it for ages. A goalkeeper needs to at least control his box. Last season’s late goal by Stevenage was a prime example.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Green in the middle and furry on the outside?

Incredible Hulk by the sounds of it. ;D

Relegation form at present - glad Dover's in this division

Something isn't right but I'm not sure these theories being knocked about are anything like reasonable. Bit of good news is at the moment, unbelievably, we are back to 3rd.

They've just missed a sitter. This has been total rubbish from front to back.

What's sparrow legs Brodie doing at present ?

Quoted from RobDef1

Agreed. Don't think I've ever actually criticised Macca, but if Crocombe doesn't start Saturday then really what's the point? That what I would be thinking if I was him anyway.

Macca is just Macca, great "shot stopping", odd silly mistake, doesn't command his area (and won't start now)

I'm starting to think the odd "point blank" save is less valuable that commanding the area to give the defence confidence, so give Crocombe a go (his distribution may be better too)

Another excrement performance buck stops with Hurst, please intercourse off!

Anyone on for operation Bogle (hide1)

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I’ve been saying it for ages. A goalkeeper needs to at least control his box. Last season’s late goal by Stevenage was a prime example.

I’ve seen no improvement in his weaknesses in all the time he’s been here , he’s flapped at crosses for ten years now ,he can’t kick straight time for change and if he wants to go let him

I'm still quite happy with our points return at the minute, just short of 2 points per game. i'dve ripped your hand off before a ball had been kicked. Massive overreactions both during the good form and now.

People are taken in by his shot stopping, but if he controlled his box better, he’d have far fewer shots to have to stop.

17 games gone and not beaten anyone higher then tenth. We are where we are because of home form against bottom hal teams. Next two home games against the top two

What that was a bag o'shyte from start to finish. Enough to drive you to drink.

Quoted from RobDef1

That's genuinely ridiculous mate.

Not from where i am sitting  think about it . this form is disgusting

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

God help us on Saturday

He turned down the loan offer

Pffft. Stop the trolling.

The surprising thing is that we all expected a slow start with the injuries we had and then hoped the team would become stronger as it gelled. What actually occurred is that we started playing well off the bat, but we've gone downhill since.

The most surprising thing is that, in some games, we've looked great and really solid at the back, but in others we've coughed up soft goals from nowhere. Obviously different opposition cause different problems, but too many teams aren't having to do much to score against us.

Still third, meltdown on here and fb is ridiculous. We have no right to assume we will win the league as champions and we’re in with more than a shout to be in the playoffs. Chill out ffs! UTM!!

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Which good team?

The one he inherited? Or the one he built for this season?

This season .  But he did nothing last season with half the season to go  . And ifi rememberrightly most on here said if we arenot chalenging for promotion by xmas he should go.. to be honest the only thing we are challenging at the moment is for the places below us

Quoted from Bignic69

We won’t get promoted with this manager and some of his selections. Towler dropped to accommodate Pearson is frankly nuts. Please don’t say he was any better than Towler would have been because Southend were toothless. Tonight, all the Solihull attacks were towards the channel between Pearson and Crookes. Crookes is steady but not quick, Pearson is slow.

Dire. Cant score, cant keep them out. Midfields week, wingers inconsistant

If the new owners have the £££ its about time it was flipping spent

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

He turned down the loan offer

I don't blame him

Well I try to be optimistic, but even the happiest "happy clapper" has to admit 5 losses and 1 win in last 6 is a bit depressing, true I'd take 3rd currently, but are we really going to win the next 3 or 4 in a row to cement our position?

4 points off top but we could so easily be top our away form is abysmal , think we need to try something differant away from home before we fall away

Altrincham score a late goal at Chesterfield.

Full time 2-2

So we had McAtee and Taylor on for the main part of the second half they failed, as did Macca. There's not a lot of difference in the selection that were knocking in goals only a few weeks ago.

I wonder if it's complacency that has come into the camp. Most of the players were new to the club and had points to make, Hunt for example. They've now 'settled in' and proved their point but no longer appear to have the motivation to carry on in the same vein.

What worries me is these long spells we go on when we just cannot score, or even look like scoring. It seems to happen at some stage every season. Some seasons are worse than others but we always seem to stall at some point.

Our recent form has gone from title winning to relegation and away Tuesday night games are just a dead loss.

This run of tough games has started with a defeat and they aren't even up there like the upcoming opposition.

Still hopeful of a relatively successful season, with a play off spot. Top three looking increasingly distant.

Thing is on the one hand at the start of the season i knew we needed a big turnover of players, I knew the league would be tough, and I knew this season would just be about building the foundations of a good squad

However the way its panned out had me dreaming of big things, and then the last few games just reminded me what grated me about hurst the first time round, just teams of likeable grafters without clear attacking tactics relying on us eventually signing a 30 goal striker and a creative wizard who now plies his trade in league one

Well that was frustrating from start to finish, but thanks to Lee65, DB, Hagrid and anyone else who chipped in keeping us exiles without access to twitter updated.

If Scannell and Grant cant get in this side when we create absolutely intercourse all then whats the point of them

Both fit, flipping play them

Absolutely couldn't understand that selection myself reckon they targeted that one.  Surprisingly really as Hurst had Barnett there winger at Shrewsbury so knew all about him

Two man midfield leaving us exposed move clifton over & play 4-3-3 taylor bell mcatee just behind , it's not rocket science we keep getting done over in away games

On the plus side, it should be a bit easier to get parked on Saturday

Groves to polite. If Gritton had a been supporting JT we would have no doubts how we plyed

Quoted from Hagrid

Neither is match ready I would assume. Getting fit is only half the battle.

So, what your basically saying is the management team are useless?...it's up to Hurst, Doig et Al to get the players motivated and up for the game.
There's something just not clicking that was earlier in the season, we tore Wrexham a new one, came fighting back against Barnet, ripped holes through Dover...
This team hasn't lost the plot over night, could it be we are a bit one dimensional and we've been sussed and Hurst hasn't got a plan B, C or D?... whatever it is it has to change and change quick, get a good win Saturday and the gardens coming up roses, lose and the knives will be Hurst back that's for sure

Quoted from Hagrid

Dire. Cant score, cant keep them out. Midfields week, wingers inconsistant

I wondered how long that would take.

Hey come on everyone stop panicking. We’ve got a great new civic pride, our community is now really engaged, the scotch eggs are amazing, our Chairman writes in the Guardian, and a new CEO who loves the limelight and is really photogenic.

With all of that, the football is secondary and we should be counting ourselves lucky

Quoted from Hagrid

If Scannell and Grant cant get in this side when we create absolutely intercourse all then whats the point of them

Both fit, flipping play them

Also this whats this thing about 'not had a proper pre season'? Scannels got over 200 championship appearances under his belt, but not getting 20 minutes against clee town means he's forgotten how to play football?

Quoted from KingstonMariner

What that was a bag o'shyte from start to finish. Enough to drive you to drink.

Ryan Sears comes to mind! ;) ;) ;

Quoted from ginnywings

Neither is match ready I would assume. Getting fit is only half the battle.

grant was fit enough for 20 against Kiddy 3 weeks ago

But to be competitve in this league or strive to be better, you have to spend.

Quoted from SouthLakesMariner

Well that was frustrating from start to finish, but thanks to Lee65, DB, Hagrid and anyone else who chipped in keeping us exiles without access to twitter updated.

Cheers SLM, was really wanting say something positive like "we have a corner..., Waterfall buries it with a bullet header from 12 yards" :), but that doesn't seem to happen anymore at the minute, I do think Teams have sussed us now, we need a plan "B", or be better at plan "A" at least

We managed to ensure that Solihull were the only team in the top 7 or 8 teams to win tonight. Other results went our way but we missed a golden opportunity to move away from many teams.  

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

So, what your basically saying is the management team are useless?...it's up to Hurst, Doig et Al to get the players motivated and up for the game.
There's something just not clicking that was earlier in the season, we tore Wrexham a new one, came fighting back against Barnet, ripped holes through Dover...
This team hasn't lost the plot over night, could it be we are a bit one dimensional and we've been sussed and Hurst hasn't got a plan B, C or D?... whatever it is it has to change and change quick, get a good win Saturday and the gardens coming up roses, lose and the knives will be Hurst back that's for sure

I agree with you, Hurst has only plan A, never subs at half time only after 60 mins or so. Khouri and Revan were good examples in the last game as was Soussa tonight.

60 mile an hour winds on Saturday so should be a leveller ;)

Been following football for 50 years. Never known such an extreme situation where players returning from injury need to train for weeks (months in case of Grant and Scannel ) before they are able to cope with more then 20 mins off the bench

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

We managed to ensure that Solihull were the only team in the top 7 or 8 teams to win tonight. Other results went our way but we missed a golden opportunity to move away from many teams.  

Wrexham starting to click

Flipping heck, the trolls are out in force tonight.

I suppose they are well-rested following our good start to the season.

Good to see Chesterfield mess up…….

Quoted from Mandy Dunnit vs Hettie

Crawl back under your rock you tw@t

Well it’s absolutely ridiculous the amount of expectation some on here place on this football club.

You can spray glitz and glamour as much as you like around the periphery, it’s doesn’t change a thing. Ultimately we are still a very small and struggling football club, in a whole different football world to what it was when we used to punch above our weight.

The agony of that different football world will remain with us. So people need to start accepting what we are now isn’t what we used to be. No matter who owns us.

Quoted from Hagrid

Have a look at the teams that do succeed that don’t have the biggest budgets over those years.

I’m far from a Fenty apologist but that’s not strictly true. JS even said that there was money left in the bank by the previous owners.

We have been poor in recent games.  However, we are still 3rd.  The 2 teams just below us with a game in hand both lost at home tonight.  We have a platform to push on for the rest of the season BUT obviously need to fix things quickly.

Utter rubbish. Football  at lower levels is no different from what it always was. Get the right manager the right players  the right culture and momentum and you will do welll. But you do need all of them not some!

Money in the bank and we got relegated out of the FL for the second time in a few years , perhaps someone should have told the previous regime to get decent players you have to buy them and pay the going rate for wages

Quoted from MuddyWaters

It also helps if you train with Mitre balls rather than Gilbert ones too. But he did invest in a state of the art portakabin with features like a radiator, wire window guards and no leaks.

Quoted from jamesgtfc

As opposed to one we never heard from? However many years in the post and the most recent picture the Telegraph had of him was years old.

We don’t need prominent CEO’s all over Twitter hogging the limelight. Your CEO should sit quietly and efficiently in the background, doing executive work.

The PR department is more than capable of communicating with the public, and getting out there what’s needed. Which is essentially any important info regarding developments, plus football stuff that we want to read.

I’m not fooled one iota by all of this look at me CEO stuff. It’s narcissistic and isn’t required. Just get on with doing your CEO work.

I’ll ask you a question. If the poor run of form continues and the shine of the takeover and early season promise diminishes, then how do you think the fan base is going to respond to all the glitz and glamour look at me Tweeting then?

I'd agree the formula is the same as it's ever been, it just costs a lot more now versus the in come clubs get.

Watched the thing about Mac on i-player the other night and it was excellent, but even at what I think is tier 8 they have had to spend a lot of money to compete and some of the players they have signed have agents who wanted some really silly stuff.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

For what it's worth, I agree that the odds of us ever playing in the 2nd tier again (Championship now) are 1000/1 at least, but I do feel we could be a decent league 1 side at some point in the future, and if I didn't believe that after nearly 50 years supporting the Team then I would probably call it a day.

Now I don't actually know whether or not you are / were close to the previous regime, but your earlier cynical, sarcastic and gloating post suggests you may've been.

Whether PH can get us out of this league now or in the next few years is anyone's guess, but I am sure we wouldn't have been in this position if the previous regime (including the Manager) hadn't banked on last season not kicking off or being abandoned quickly due to COVID, and treating that as an opportunity to spend virtually nothing on maintaining a decent playing squad, and even letting the pitch go to ruin!

True Town fans are hurting at the moment, the fantastic signs of hope are waning at present  but  I cannot help but feel that Phillipe Noche is quite enjoying our current demise, smug comments made tonight just prove what a Fenty apologist he always was and probably continues to be.

A chairman or principle funder as he became known should sit quietly and efficiently in the background too then rather than posting red wine fuelled statements, telling fans a former manager was a fruit loop, rounding up on a journalist at a fans forum and inviting his criminal friends to invest money in the club.

Whilst we are talking about managers of an organisation, stadium managers shouldn't treat fans like scum either.

I'm sure it probably does but 500 is about 17% of our season ticket holder number so maybe not as miniscule as you think. Also it's how many exiles keep in touch with what's going on so it is a useful channel to promote the club despite what people think.    

Filipe is right in one sense. I’d have never have purchased a ST if JF was still in charge this season.

But i go to the games for 3 points. And fresh scotch eggs and community projects are all well and good, but they wont keep bums on seats

Quoted from jamesgtfc

You also forgot to mention the fans who listen on the radio. 500 fans on social media who spend £30/50 or more with the club suddenly bring in an income of £25k or more. Not to be sniffed at in this day and age shouldn't be belittled.

I don’t want social network success, I want a steady football club success thank you.

If I’m going read something on there, I want read stuff from the players, the manager etc. not all the better together rubbish.

Towns always been together. Have they actually seen our away support over the years. Have they seen how many people we’ve regularly taken to Wembley

We are together already when things are going well on the pitch. And when they aren’t, the most loyal of us stay together through thick and thin.

I’m sure you have strong feelings and feel very passionately about the points you make. However, your timing stinks. If you believe you possess any of the qualities you refer to in your first paragraph, you wouldn’t chose a moment like tonight to make them.

You do yourself no favours by seemingly taking satisfaction from a bad night on the field to rubbish the positive changes that the club is undertaking. You simply come across as a bitter individual, with poor judgement.

No Hagrid, I’ve never actually met the woman. But it strikes me that she’s breezed in here all celebrity like, and it seems to me that she’s loving every minute of that far too much.

We don’t need people like that on board. We know what happened last time we had a ten bob celeb in the club. It was all me me me.

I’ve got no problem with Jason and Andrew being the focus quite often. After all, they’ve put their money where their mouths are and have brought something to the table. And so they should be featured, and let’s face it, publicly accountable.

This season .  But he did nothing last season with half the season to go  . And ifi rememberrightly most on here said if we arenot chalenging for promotion by xmas he should go.. to be honest the only thing we are challenging at the moment is for the places below us

Well then if you’re talking about the good side this season, that should be to Hurst’s credit!

And you don’t remember rightly either. Only a couple of people said if we’re not challenging for promotion by Christmas Hurdt should go. One of them was probably you.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

So it’s time to start looking at the new owners is it?

I wondered how long that would take.

Hey come on everyone stop panicking. We’ve got a great new civic pride, our community is now really engaged, the scotch eggs are amazing, our Chairman writes in the Guardian, and a new CEO who loves the limelight and is really photogenic.

With all of that, the football is secondary and we should be counting ourselves lucky

Wondered which pile of manure you’ve been hiding under. The air’s been fresher since you’ve been away.

You can go forth and multiply again.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I’m far from a Fenty apologist but that’s not strictly true. JS even said that there was money left in the bank by the previous owners.

Not the same thing at all OC.

We’re still 3rd and 4 points off top . Ball cleared off the line at 1-0 . Would’ve been a decent point away from home against a good team regardless of the size of opposition in our eyes .
We’re going through a sticky patch but have got the players to stay in the top seven , the budget to add to the squad in January so it’s really not looking as bad as it’s being made out isn’t it ?

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

No Hagrid, I’ve never actually met the woman. But it strikes me that she’s breezed in here all celebrity like, and it seems to me that she’s loving every minute of that far too much.

We don’t need people like that on board. We know what happened last time we had a ten bob celeb in the club. It was all me me me.

I’ve got no problem with Jason and Andrew being the focus quite often. After all, they’ve put their money where their mouths are and have brought something to the table. And so they should be featured, and let’s face it, publicly accountable.

Thankfully Fenty has gone.

Quoted from DB

Your not suggesting this was your friend John Fenty? ;) ;)

Ah you beat me to it! 😆

Tbh i have been in the camp that gave him a chance even tho i did not believe it was good for him to come back here..  I dont know whats wrong but the buck stops with him . and there was more than a few that . he has done nothing  .Whats his win rate  ?  

Quoted from Davec

Paul Hurst said he feels we did enough to win tonight

flipping deluded idiot, if anyone needs proof he is not the man for the job and should never have been re-appointed that comment says it all

Time Stockwoods and Pettits started concentrating on football matters instead of fannying about trying to impress and folk feel good off the pitch.

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

She’s managed to get 6k crowds in regularly in the space of a few weeks your boss/ mate/ brother never manage that in nearly 2decades. You clearly don’t like her for some reason

How long do you think that is going to last ? Anyway I suggest the early season form might have had something to do with that rather than the better catering, glass screen on the Youngs Upper and the nicey nicey approach of the new (not really football people) owners
A fan zone is not going to pack 'em in in January and February if the team is mid table

Easy not to care about the experience of fans attending games when you never flipping go.

Old Noche certainly knows how and when to poke the hornets nest. I suggest everyone ignores the relic.

We've lost some footy matches; it happens.

Short term blip in a long term re-build, or more serious signs of getting it wrong? The answer to that will become apparent over the next couple of months.

For me, the object this season was top 7, hopefully top 3 and winning the league was a long shot. We are still in the mix and PH has to find a way to win matches again. If he doesn't or can't, then have an inquest, but I suspect it will be a bumpy ride until January.

It's quite feasible we won't see another win for a while judging by current form and the standard of the upcoming opposition. Or we may just be surprised- that's the beauty of football.

There's always the next game.

Enormous whiff of misogyny coming from Dinosaur Phil in here. Takes about 30 seconds to write a tweet you massive duffer - most successful business people are capable of squeezing the odd one in here and there without it negatively impacting on their other responsibilities.

Putting Phil's weird obsession aside for a second, Debbie is objectively doing well - the letter she sent to season ticket holders the other week contained loads of promising updates on work the club has been doing, and was a million times better written than anything Fenty shat out during his time at the helm.

Went last night
Box to box I thought we were very good - but it counts for nothing
In and around their box we were tepid, tippy-tappy, poor final ball, poor final cross, not clinical
Where has the confidence gone?
It's not as though it was on the back of a hammering - warning signs v Yeovil IMO...we won but it wasn't great

Standouts IMO were Efete and Hunt; Fox and Clifton had much better 2nd halves

Thought clifton played his part in there 2nd goal but he got loads of credit in bank as far as i'm concerned been brilliant in most games , if max wright could get fit i'm sure it would help works his nuts off & he has an end product

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

No she hasn’t. The excitement of new owners has done that, combined with the early season results

That will soon slip away if the bad form continues.

Anyway, the club gives away about 500 tickets a game anyway.

I'd heard rumours about you SIR .......... It would appear they are perhaps true ? .

Agree with you results get people interested not scotch eggs however I think we can agree the club appears to be run much better than before

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

You will get no argument from me on that but it's results that matter most (to me and I'm sure most fans) and three points every week is the only way guaranteed to keep the turnstiles ticking at the levels achieved so far this season (however good the Scotch eggs are)
