Looks like 4-4-1-1 with.....

                        Crocombe

Efete.   Waterfall.   Pearson.   Crookes

Maguire-Drew.  Clifton.    Fox.    Sousa

                           Mcatee

                            Taylor

With all the departures I think the team picks itself, but happy with that.

UTM come on boys

Thought Scannell may have made the bench but obviously not in PH's plans.

About as good a side as we can field right now. Would take a draw if offered.

Well done to the travelling Mariners

Come on Town!

Injury

Can't make it up. Let Sears go back to Wales and then Efete gets injured after 35 minutes!

Efete off injured ☹️

Daft of Hurst to let him go without an alternative.

The player wanted to go didn’t he?

Are we struggling to attract players?  it feels like that at the minute.  I guess PH will be looking for certain characters so depends what the player pool is like for these types.

That would have been a decent option for Saturday I imagine too.

Quoted from Meza

I think Hurst said he's waiting to hear from 2 players and we have to be patient.

HT 0-0

I for one am confident after that 1st half that we can get something here. Set pieces are an advantage for us tonight as it seems they're not getting away with the shithousery they performed last Monday. They sound vulnerable on the break too. UTM

Half time 0 - 0,  can't grumble at that.

Close game

Maybe waterfall should have scored with the header

Bradbury there CB all over Shaun at every corner. Ref doesnt want to know

A good half, let’s hope we can push on for a positive result.

Sounds like we are giving it a good go and fairly evens. Can certainly hear the Town fans. Just need a bit of luck and we can win this.

First away game since Scunny 2020 for me. Good to be back.

Strong start from Town, though they’ve come back into it. They’re very good at the basics of the game and have an uncanny knack of getting in behind us, as they did a week ago. But we’ve had the better chances and should probably have a goal to our name.

All to play for in the second half. Wouldn’t like to call it.

Quoted from Hagrid

Fair enough. Listening on the radio so don't have a full picture. Retract my set piece statement.

2nd half underway

No changes

I concur with town fans being in good voice. I live in the village on the hill that overlooks the ground and I can hear the Mariners fans in full voice. UTM

Pen to Halifax

That's a shame cos it sounds like we've played with character. Now we find out what these boys are made of

Rather than have a one word obscene comment can someone with at least half a brain explain what happened

Clifton lucky

No - but good things don’t seem to be happening to Town at the moment

Shi1t

Well according to Disley, Crookes got “wrong side” and brought the man down for a definite pen

"Apparently Crookes fouled his man - no complaints according to Craig Disney.

No complaints from Mickey Mouse either !

Come on Town

What the intercourse has happened to us? I know we are giving a real go tonight but a few months ago i would have fancied us but before the match i was hoping to just get a point.

7 straight away defeats 1 win in 11 i think if it stays like this, blame what you want but summat ain't right.

Luke Summerfield on. This increases our chances. If only they had James Berret too.

Halifax are top you know.

Based on the last match and the sounds of it tonight, we are unlucky not to have at least 4 points from this double header.

All the other teams above that are playing are winning.

Grant on for Sousa

In terms of this run, which is concerning, our last two games have been against the team which is currently top of the league and we've matched them.

Play like this for the rest of the month and the run will be over.

I guess the commentator with Disley is Halifax radio as he seems to go up an octave when they go forward.

All talk and no trousers - all show and no substance.   1 win in 10

Facts are facts. Any other Manager with this appalling record would have received his P45 before now.

The deluded fans can bury their heads in the sand but let's be honest this current set-up does not have a clue!

We will be a long time out of the league if this run is not sorted pretty quickly.

Over to you Jason!

Anything other than a win on Saturday and he'll be gone

I think the babies nappy is overflowing

A win on Sat?  We need to find 11 available players first,  that would be a start.  

FT 1-0

Need some body’s and or a new gaffs

1 win in 11. 7 away losses in a row (?)

In none league.

Don’t know how anyone can justify keeping Hurst on. That’s after getting us relegated. Anyone else would have gone ages ago

Halifax just had extra

What is it that you don't understand one win in eleven? Unless I have missed something and all the teams we have lost to were top of the League at the time we played them

Quoted from It Bites

wherever you stand in the hurst debate, he ain't getting sacked. 1878 have made it clear that they are all for stability and they believe in Hurst.

ps disley and the commentator both saying that Town did well and deserved a point against the league leaders (and with a team down to its bare bones)

Don't know what the answer is but I don't think it's Paul Hurst.
Would love to say he could sort us a win out sooner rather than later but don't think he can.
Time for a change I think.

It’s ok, Paul hurst is a nice bloke and we are building a sustainable football club, results are irrelevant

Quoted from arryarryarry

A lot were AFTER we had played them.

ffs this is poor. 1 win in 10. No excuses. Halifax manager shows how it is done on a shoe string budget

Is that now just 1 point from the last 30?

Quoted from arryarryarry

What is it that you don't understand one win in eleven? Unless I have missed something and all the teams we have lost to were top of the League at the time we played them

Has Hurst lost the dressing room? No

Are the players putting in 100% effort? Yes

Does Hurst have Stockwood & Pettit’s support? Yes

There’s no way Hurst will be sacked unless the first two change, which would then lead to the third.

Cue another leftie article in The Guardian

lost 3 loan players. Nobody in. what is going on?

It's a results business and we haven't had one for many matches. Time for Hurst to go, but he's Jason's man so he'll stay.

We have to win soon to try and close the ever increasing gap.

Failure to win another game this month and I doubt the new owners would still support him. If they still stick with him they could soon getting the sort of excrement JF did.

One point from two games against Halifax - who are average.
The first game I know equates against Aston Villa against Manu last night.
But - where is the next win coming from in this mediocre league.
Friends are supporting Larkhall at Stockport next round of Trophy! Laughing stock

4 points from the last 30 - unbelievable AND we are non league.

We are competing with and matching the top sides, but we aint got a cutting edge. Keep losing these games by the odd goal, so if we don't invest in some more firepower, we will definitely be starting next season in this division.

Think this is right so it makes Hurst look even worse because he looks to have everything going for him but can only manage 4 point in 30

Quoted from carrot top

Don't think Hurst knows it's January

Hurst interview, "Yeah we lost again but Halifax are worlbeaters and we kept us shape well."
Me, "Why don't you f**k off Paul, you're excrement!"

Looks like the infrastructure isn’t working. Maybe we need more glass screens round the ground.

Someone needs to grow a pair

Right. And you’d be proud of yourself for that yeah?

Terrible confession I watched hursts pre match interview and immediately put money on Halifax to win. Wish I had lost my money but when you can’t score the odds are stacked against you The interview was miserable

Halifax are top, so not sure how that makes them ‘average’.?

Thanks for disappointing us all for the tenth time in eleven matches.

Still waiting for the new badge effect to kick in.

Quoted from chaos33

…and Halifax were only five minutes away from beating Tshimanga’s Chesterfield a couple of weeks ago.

I agree that Halifax look average in terms of the eye test but their results certainly aren’t.

Quoted from easypeersy

Were you disappointed last week or did you not watch the match?

So nice to have you back with your worthwhile contributions and your lack of irony awareness in the use of the phrase ‘boring little worm’.

Do you know for certain he hasn't lost the dressing room?

As for 100% effort, if that's the case then the players Hurst has brought in are clearly not good enough.

Did we really expect promotion in one season?

Teams have been here for years building, we were relegated and our squad needed a complete rebuild.

Of course, I want us to go up this year, but I just think we might need another summer to add some tweaks to our squad, we're not that far off - fine margins.

I fully trust Hurst to sort this out in time. UTM

Quoted from arryarryarry

Do you know for certain he hasn't lost the dressing room?

Yes. You can tell that from the last two performances against the league leaders.

Results have been awful. We do lack quality in some areas of the team and squad. We certainly lack goals and creativity at the moment.

Hurst post-match interview - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bgnbjx

For what it's worth I think that the players are trying but we have a lot of very average players ( all Hurst recruits) I was under whelmed before we started , amazed at our start and now bored but enjoying gambling on Hurst's losers.

Quoted from BenBB

Hurst post-match interview - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bgnbjx

Hurst sounded downbeat and so he should. At least he didn't use the 'fine margins' excuse as the fine margins always seem to favour the opposition.

As optimistic and positive as I am I felt his comments about the Altrincham game on Saturday looks as if he's looking for a draw. 3 points are what we need and some positive inspiration from him would be good.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

Were you disappointed last week or did you not watch the match?

Yes I was disappointed last week because we did not win yet again! I have actually lost count now!

Not surprising. With only four digits on each hand we are beyond your limits 😉

Scott Woodthorpe, like JT a Town fan and often steps in when JT doesn't cover a game.

Could always use my toes to help count all of the defeats.
Gonna need to at this rate!
