No Sousa Coke, Crookes or Mckeown

Scannell/Grant nowhere to be seen

Clifton i assume LWB which shows writing on the  wall for Revan

LJL Back on bench

Pleased to see Crocombe given a shot and good to see McAtee back in the XI. Lovely stuff.

Could be towler in left back, didn’t he play there for Bristol city?

Not too surprised to see some of those being dropped for this one. Looks like a change in approach to start getting some points on the board away from home.

Left wing back could actually be a great position for clifton, hes got the energy to get up and down, and got a decent shot on him if he cuts inside

Hmmm. If I had a pound every time I'd seen us unsuccessfully attempt to play 3 at the back, I'd have quite a few quid now. My concern is that none of those three at particularly good with the ball at their feet, from what I've seen. Not terrible, but not much good so we'll need to be well on the front foot to make a success of it.

Reading the daggers forum earlier,  seems they've lost the ability to defend so would like to see us throw the kitchen sink a them. Suspect it's going to be a cautious affair

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

Left wing back could actually be a great position for clifton, hes got the energy to get up and down, and got a decent shot on him if he cuts inside

Only problem is he can't cross a ball with his left very well makes him easy to mark if you know he's cutting in every time

Quoted from Maringer

I think Towler can play a bit and I don’t think you can fully judge Longe-King from what we’ve seen so far.

If its 5 at the back Hunt and Fox mke up the midfield two I'm guessing either McAtee or JMD as a AMC behind two striker but which one do you think it'll be or do you think they'll rotate betwen the two of them.

Personally I still think its 451 with Towler at LB, but it'll be interesting if it is a back 5.

Do we have online commentary today, can't seem to find it at the moment.

Back four, Towler at left back

Quoted from buckstown

Back four, Towler at left back

Tall lad for a full back.

Nice to hear Limbrick co-commentating.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Another massive Holloway & Fenty f**k up that he was allowed to leave, decent bloke and by all accounts a good coach too.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Another massive Holloway & Fenty f**k up that he was allowed to leave, decent bloke and by all accounts a good coach too.

Absolutely. Very well respected

Sounds like we've started better then we have the last few games, hopefully that results in a good final score

Limbrick coming across well on the radio.

Town seem to be settleing in now after the first 10 mins, no shots yet but there starting well.

Miss by daggers

Sitter missed by Dagenham

They should of scored by sounds of it.

Towler looking shaky at LB

Town corner and the fans sound good, again

Oh dear god

Bad start 1-0

1.0 Dagenham

No clean sheet again

Sh!t 1 - 0 down

fucking useless

Well guess we can demand Hurst plays our goalkeeper coach next

Really struggling at the moment down south ffs come on town

Towler again looking uncomfortable. Stuff your red crosses

I wonder what percentage of the goals we concede come from the oppositons right wing, It just seems to be a theme of late JT saying and the ball comes in from the right and its a goal at the moment

Quoted from Hagrid

Towler again looking uncomfortable. Stuff your red crosses

We're struggling everywhere, not just down south!

Presume Crookes is injured. Seems to me this is one area we need to strengthen in January.

We'll be lucky to make the play-offs on recent form.

Come on Town prove me wrong.

Ah well thats that. Plan A dont let them score only one man allowed in the opposing box in open play boggered. Wonder what plan B is. Time for a beer

D+R in freefall.  If we lose to these lot we most certainly have a problem.  

Left hand side letting us down AGAIN. 2nd game in a row this has happened. We need the comeback spirit like we had at the beginning of the season.

Quoted from buckstown

We're struggling everywhere, not just down south!

Presume was for me, yes we are struggling the last 2 months been poor.

Dagenham are down to the barebones with lots of injuries we really need to be winning this game.

Sounds as if our left side is taking a pasting, Hurst has to do something. All the opposition know our weakness.

Not heard much regarding McGuire Drew

Where is Crookes? Is he injured? Was he in the car with Sears? I don’t like all this secrecy . Hursts big thing not revealing tactics to opposition. What about the fans and there interest in the game

Quoted from HerveJosse

No manager is going to tell how bad his injured players are.

Quoted from SouthLakesMariner

Another injury in training  ?Sousa should be playing - hunt been shite lately

On balance don't deserve to be behind but it's about putting it in the net and we haven't looked like doing it.

Quoted from barralad

On balance don't deserve to be behind but it's about putting it in the net and we haven't looked like doing it.

We havent had a shot

Its flipping diabolical

Too soon for hurst out?

Quoted from Hagrid

We havent had a shot

Its flipping diabolical

You make a good point, no wonder some boos are coming from our fans. JT has said nobody to clear the ball to so why aren't they moving around to create spaces. Looking at the bench Revan had a bad time at left back last time out so how is Hurst going to change things?

Quoted from DB

No manager is going to tell how bad his injured players are.

Yes they do. We don’t even know if he is injured never mind how bad

Dagenham have been in free fall and we're making them sound like world beaters. it's  big concern, especially after the Aldershot debacle

Quoted from Hagrid

We havent had a shot

Its flipping diabolical

It isn't....yet

Yesssssss back in it 1-1

flipping get in Mcatee

OI OI!

McAteeeeeeeeee

Get in 1-1    McAtee

Mcateeeee

That’s more like it !

I knew we would come back into it  honest  :P

Excellent finish from Mcatee

Hopefully that creates a bit of a spark

Thanks goodness for that

Good job we've got McAtee, what a signing.

Make no mistake, goal aside we've been awful. The formation is a mess, there's massive amounts of space for them to exploit on the flanks, even with 5 at the back. Towler clearly isn't a left (wing) back and they're taking massive advantage of him not knowing how to position himself. Dagenham have loads of players out and are very vulnerable down their left. When Efete finally linked up with JMD in stoppage time and got round the back we grabbed an undeserved equaliser after a nice pull back and neat near post McAtee finish, but we need to switch it up tactically at HT cos we're a mess at the back.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Good job we've got McAtee, what a signing.

Hopefully no one comes in for him during the January Transfer window

Not much in it for the 1st half but the first decent attack and we score. I don't recall JT mentioning Maguire Drew much, it's as if he's not there. I know he's new but he is in the team. Has he not had the ball much or have they marked him out of the game?

Great listening to Limbrick on commentary.. how we kept Fentys mate and let him go.. ffs

Our Goal came from about the only decent bit of play. Tidy finish. Longe king struggling. Towler not a left back . No movement in midfield. Some aimless punts up field. We’ve made daggers look good. 1-1 flatters us. Hurst needs to get into them and perhaps replace LK at HT. UTM

Sub at 70 mins then

Quoted from TwoLeftFeet

Great listening to Limbrick on commentary.. how we kept Fentys mate and let him go.. ffs

He certainly sounds like he was the brains of the opperation before he left doesn't he

We might not deserve it, but it’s a great time score. Let’s hope we can step things up and turn this run  of results around.

Absolutely hopeless at the back

FFS

ffs

2  --- !    

Oh my god town

Sh!t 2 - 1 down, we started well and then let ourselves down again against the run of play.

Quoted from HerveJosse

Where is Crookes? Is he injured? Was he in the car with Sears? I don’t like all this secrecy . Hursts big thing not revealing tactics to opposition. What about the fans and there interest in the game

It's on a "need to know basis" and you don't need to know!

And we started the 2nd half so well   :o

3-1 down

Positive half-time team talk then!
??) ??) ??) ??)

Yards offside

How is Pearson not getting in this defence!!! awful management

WTF

3-1 FFS JT and Limbrick seem convinced it was an offside

Game over now ffs we need to stop this running it's a very serious problem.

Quoted from Hagrid

3-1 down

Sounds like it was offside  :-/

Quoted from barralad

Yards offside

Never mind, gives us a chance to blame the officials (again)

Thats it   Get the fook out of town Hurst  what a bag of sheit you are  

Oh dear oh dear :/

Quoted from SouthLakesMariner

We might not deserve it, but it’s a great time score. Let’s hope we can step things up and turn this run  of results around.

...... ahem!

No comment, enough said it was off side to all but the officials.

This run needs turning around fast.

I fear our game at home against Chesterfield.

Well town are in free fall now and there's a great danger this season will be over in the next three weeks

I thought hurst would get us a play off spot I’m not so sure now

This is absolutely appaling

Who picked this team - who watches them in training -who decides the tactics - who is the manager- at least Hunt is out for the next match - oh no - Coke

It’s all them, what the hell are Grimsby doing?

Quoted from 1739

Wonder if they’ll be out on the urine (again) tonight.

I’ve heard they lord it about aswell ? Level five average players ffs

We've imploded here...oh for someone who can deliver corners like them

Quoted from rancido

It's on a "need to know basis" and you don't need to know!

That sounds like something Fenty would have said

The defence is dire, just play a back four with recognised full backs instead of this nonsense where nobody understands where their position is. Idiocy from Hurst

Looking forward to playing Tshimanga FC next Saturday.  Oh well, there's only Dover and Kings Lynn that are in a worse run than us... wonder how they're doing in the league?

Did I hear right, they've got 9 players out ?

When / if the time comes (and on this performance hopefully it won't be long) who's going to get rid of Hurst? After all the two new owners by their own admission are not 'football people' so who makes the decision or will it rely (eventually) on poor attendances and money? Just a thought

Quoted from Chrisblor

Yeah Pearson is a good centre back at this level god knows why he doesnt get a look in better than all of them IMO

Mcatee off.

Now down to 10 men 😠

McAtee straight red

RED card McAtee

McAtee out for 1 or 3 games the day just gets worse.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Did I hear right, they've got 9 players out ?

Yeah struggled for a team down to the bare bones and on shocking form!! embarrassing

Bad to worse...dreadful tackle from Mcatee.

things have absolutely fallen apart now.

Now we are well and truly copulated Mid table by New Year anyone?

What an absolute f@cking shambles

McAtee straight red, 3 game ban.

It doesn't get worse than this  :o

Bad to worse, you can't make it up.

Haha this is just fucking brilliant

Ffs, just when you think it can't get any worse.....it does 😪

Rank stupidity. And he cant get away with it coz its Mcatee

Oh dear, gets worse

Well thats that, bad reffing followed by silly challenge end of, no Mcatee poss for next 3 games. So good at shooting ourselves in the foot.

Quoted from Wrights35

Yeah Pearson is a good centre back at this level god knows why he doesnt get a look in better than all of them IMO

You honestly think he will improve things … take one average player out  to be replaced by another

fookin.  Come January, do a scorched earth and get rid of this sorry shower of sh1te.  We can't even do the basics, and Daggenham's 3rd team is comfortably beating us.

Now what should we work on when playing against an agricultural team?

Defending corners/free kicks?
Having a few players who are taller than 5 feet 10?

Shite forwards,shite midfield, shite defense, shite keeper,shite physio,shite manager shite ref.Have I enjoyed the last 1/2 dozen games     Shite NO !

Full time.... Dag & Red 3-2 Town.

Well that went well.

Absolutely awful

After the poor run we’ve had of late the result and the way we are playing is just not good enough, questions need to be answered now by Paul Hurst, some of his decision making is baffling.

Oh dear!

McAtee getting a straight red is not down to the manager.

Quoted from Hagrid

Fans fighting in the away end

I still can't figure out why we have so many restrictions as Town fans. Must be because of the away club, local council, police, or some other reason.

Definitely not some of our fans though!

I cannot think of one good thing to say about that performance or any of our last eight performances.
We only just sneaked a win against Southend.
Hurst has stifled any flair and creativity out of our team.
He will be gone in the Nee Year hopefully never to return.
Charisma of a garden worm.
Tactics of a four year old.
Boring boring boring.

Can we have a rule where anyone that starts a Match Thread is banned from doing it again for the next 3 games if we lose (Jonah)

After yesterday, once again it highlighted the amount of ducking morons that’s follow town. Is it because we don’t have many fans as it is so the moron element is highlighted more or have we got more than most.

Among the racist muttering is some drunken idiots, the obsession with Paul Hurst being short and the rotund chap just stomping about like a baby shouting Hurst out and the setting the grey example to his son threatening people
Becauee someone tried chinking his equally mouthy kid it was a successful day…

Sometimes I scratch my head, was bad enough watching our defence (except waterfall) fall apart for two goals and our alleged best player seemingly get sent off for a pointless challenge, you then have to contend with those morons…

Buckley spent the kind of money we could only dream about spending in 1997 too and then followed it up by spending £500k on Lee Ashcroft. Since then, we've barely spent a penny on transfers. I mean earlier this week we had to get a player to get out of his contract before signing him on a free.

Fast forward to 2021 and we've spent most of the last 11 years in non-league.

That’s about as relevant as saying Cockerill’s first against Exeter was a foul and his second was offside. Horrendous refereeing decisions cost us in the play offs under Hurst 2 years running and yet you highlight an injury to one player as the reason we got promoted after 50 odd games. Bizarre

Those two decisions at Gateshead and Wembley were absolutely outrageous, not to mention the then generally reliable McKeown throwing one into the net early in that Gateshead game.

You have to give him that. But in terms of butterfly effect scenarios, Gregor Robertson getting injured early in the season at Braintree and causing us to bring in Conor Townsend had a massive effect on our finishing position that season - we may well not have made the play-offs without his massive contribution.

Trust you to come out with such codswallop PP. JS has never said anything about not spending money that you have. Buckley’s big spending in 97 and 98 came from transfer fees (Mendonca £700k, Oster £1.5m) and increased ticket receipts (two Wembley finals).

I mean the player that apparently lied to get out of his contract and then immediately signed for us. Absolutely no chance that came from ethical intentions. And there's no way they'd let him go for nothing if they knew the team that were 3rd in the league were about to sign him the next day.

He's not wrong though, the Monkhouse injury was the best thing that happened for us that season as it forced Hurst to stop playing long ball after long ball after long ball to him over and over again just for us to lose everytime as team just started to double mark him.

I don't have a problem with it if we sneakily signed a player. Woking were stupid for releasing his registration. Football is cut throat and although it's immoral, I don't really care.

What I do care about is a person that's in the national press preaching fairness, equality and respect yet actions of signing players like this and offering minimum wage jobs are not at all in line with what he's publicly saying.

This absolutely sounds like a Fenty move. And the knives would have been out the second that video was released.

This is why I think Woking aren't quite telling the truth. Surely you would retain his registration and say he can move on a free to a part-time team lower down the pyramid if he chooses to but anyone at this level must pay.

So you're saying the board knew about the conversation between JMD and Woking then?...don't be so soft in the head, if JMD did say something along the lines of his head wasn't in football it was probably more to do with the fact he was drunk off with Wokings style of play rather than that being fed up with football per se...
And I have no doubt Hurst(certainly not the owners who admit they leave all football decisions to the management) was not privy to any conversation that's led to JMDs Woking contract being cancelled.

So you're saying the board knew about the conversation between JMD and Woking then?...don't be so soft in the head, if JMD did say something along the lines of his head wasn't in football it was probably more to do with the fact he was drunk off with Wokings style of play rather than that being fed up with football per se...

Approaching a contracted player during the season is against the rules. They used to make a big deal about players being "tapped up". We needed Woking's permission to talk to him, which clearly they didn't know about it, or we were being unethical and breaking the rules/law.

You're soft in the head if you think he left them and signed for us the next day without any contact being made between us and his representatives before he asked to leave.

Did I say no contact was made??..no I didn't, I pulled you up on alleging we knew of his reason (again an alleged reason) of how his contract was cancelled.
And who's to say his agent didn't contact Hurst and let him know he was fed up at Woking and would be open to signing for town if he could get his contract cancelled?..
Pipe, shove it and smoke it!..always 2 stories to be told and one thing I do know, we'll never be made aware of the facts and tvh, I don't give a sh,!t as long as he gives 100% whilst wearing a town shirt

Quoted from pen penfras

I don't have a problem with it if we sneakily signed a player. Woking were stupid for releasing his registration. Football is cut throat and although it's immoral, I don't really care.

What I do care about is a person that's in the national press preaching fairness, equality and respect yet actions of signing players like this and offering minimum wage jobs are not at all in line with what he's publicly saying.

This absolutely sounds like a Fenty move. And the knives would have been out the second that video was released.

Spoken like a true Fenty regime apologist.
