Crocombe, Cropper, Smith, Waterfall, Amos, Maguire-Drew, Holohan, Clifton, Jones, Taylor, McAtee.

Subs: Pearson, Fox, Scannell, Abrahams, Dieseruvwe.


Start for Jones.

MASSIVE game today COME ON

Scannelll and Maguire-Drew are wingers

Sousa out the squad, Fox back on the bench. Interesting to see whqt Jones is about,.hasn't played much recently. These have got 13 points from their last 10 games, we can certainly get at least a point here!

yeah, i just saw JMD, thats why i deleted comment, Scannel a sub tho.

I thought Jones picked up a nasty injury?

Thst was Callum Jones
We've signed Joey Jones from Daggers since then.  Loan

Obviously Hurst sees something in Jones to have taken him from a side lower in the table that doesn’t have a use for him. Interesting to see how it turns out.

Sad to see Scannell dropped but I guess it was obvious. People will see it as a negative move and I see where they’re coming from but I don’t think he was majorly effective on that side anyway last week. I thought he was ok and kept the ball well without threatening too much. Clifton knows the script away from home on the left of midfield. Hopefully he can get on for JMD who has been fading in games since his return (understandably) on the right and do some damage later on.

I think we can do something here today. Hopefully get off to a good start and see where it takes us!

Ah of course, knew I must have missed something

Depending on Jones this looks like a balanced side with good subs. A point should be good but I'm hoping for a win.

Quite surprised to see that Sousa doesn’t make the squad. Obviously, with most players now fit, there’ll be those who miss out altogether……Burgess, Crookes, Wright being others.

Useless fact: the average squad number of our starting lineup today is 23.

That must be something of a record, surely?

Akwasi Asante starts for Chesterfield. Mad Gav Gunning on the bench.

I'm not, he has zero end product. If he chipped in with the odd goal or assist I could understand it, but when you look at the minutes he's had this season compared to goals, Shaun Pearson is more of a threat than Sousa is!!

He does a 1050 miles per gallon though, so that's something.

Joking apart, I agree. He's a show pony with no end product. JMD has done much more in far fewer appearances.

JMD is an improvement on Sousa and that's the aim of squad building.

Sousa hit the ground running but hasn't lived up to it. Good close control but shanks shots and crosses with unerring consistency

I suppose it’s difficult to argue with statistical facts. I like Sousa though and I’m glad we’ve got him. Without the stats reflecting end product I do think he makes things happen and that opposition defenders find him hard to manage. He’s got more to give this season I’m sure.

On the subject of Chesterfield’s line up…..if we had Asante and Gunning in our squad in 2022 I’d be severely disillusioned.

Is holohan in the nolan role in the hurst wonky 4-4-2?

Quoted from Chrisblor

[img]https://i.imgur.com/8n1Yn5p.png[/img]

Got to wonder if Dieseruvwe deserved a longer run in the team. I've only seen him stick a couple in on highlights though, can't judge his all-round game

That table doesn’t show any player having an assist, that can’t be right, can it?

Quoted from immariner

Hurst will know better than I do but it doesnt seem like fair squad management based on the start he had, must feel a bit hard done by

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

That table doesn’t show any player having an assist, that can’t be right, can it?

The access to stats in non league is shite. If you want accurate assist numbers or info like xG you have to pay a quite expensive subscription to a third party scouting company. There's nobody who lists national league assists for free (to my knowledge anyway)

Is there a link to commentary today please?

2 fans ejeculated 2 mins. after start

Switch commnetary on a little late and I walk in to JT saying Town fans already being dragged out of the ground. Great representation for the club.

Town fans sound in good voice, the team has the support it needs to urge them on

Quoted from golfer

Crowd sounds so loud over the radio

Not the best start 😕

Tossed out

Sounds like we haven't woke up yet.

Spirities 8 first-teamers missing?
Doesn't seem to matter, normal service has been resumed.
??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??)

Sounds like a Jonny Rowan moment from JMD

Just missed a sitter, usual failure to take golden chances, JMD this time

2 good chances missed by Town

We can still win this

First 15 mins is a perfect synopsis of Town this season
No killer instinct
At either end
On a consistent basis

It's killed us all season

But we need to stay solid and more chances will come

Horrendous defending and somehow missing an open goal. Other than that we’ve played well

Quoted from golfer

We can still win this

Positive optimism, there's loads of time for us to win.

Taylor dragged a shot wide from the middle of the penalty area under no pressure just before they scored. JMD then somehow put one over the bar from about 3 yards out. A very frustrating start.

Massive game at the bottom of League Two

Two best goals of the season apparently in the same game !

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

I hope we score loads and make it a special day for those who are being sensible and not idiots being kicked out! Utfm

Absolutely mauling them at the minute, please make it count town!

Score prediction  1 - 6

Currently 6 points between 7th and 2nd, wrexham do have 2 games in hands but still pretty mental for this stage of the season

https://twitter.com/mattdeanbbc/status/1510264583650488329?s=21&t=EEOuTPh2NMddjDit9dm_ZQ

Superb strike from Holohan

If Clifton had coordination! Haha Sounds like he's getting in some great positions though. The Grimsby Milner!

Notts still winning 1 - 0 at Southend. We could do with Southend scoring, in not winning to help our league position.

H/T   1  -   2

2 - 1 half time and a good performance by the team and the fans.

Brilliant stuff, could be winning that 4-1 easily

Should be 3-1 up! Brilliant goals

They are excrement. Honestly excrement.

see Chesterfield fans applauding the goal

Listening on Humberside.

Do I stick with the Stella or should I upgrade to the Gordon's gin for the 2nd half ?

I know the problem, mine's Guinness and red wine.

Two good chances for Town on 2 and 6 minutes, both missed, with a very well worked corner routine from Chesterfields right straight from the training ground giving them the lead in between. Sadly Town were stood like statues.

A rocket from 20 yards from McAtee and then another from Holahan gave town the lead. Thereafter we had almost all of the play. On the balance of play we are probably two goals better.

Just need to keep it up second half now.

Get a bottle of mad dog 20/20

We've bossed this game so far apart from switching off for their corner routine. Need to keep switched on at the back for the second half if we want 3 points.

Don't ever say that PH is not passionate about us . Just look at his reaction to Hokohan's goal  !

Love PH’s reaction to the goal

Cracking strike! Look at Hurst going nuts, things you like to see. I think holohan left him hanging as he ran past though, he definitely wanted a high 5 lol

Quoted from smokey111

Chesterfield have their own mad dog on the bench.... Really hope he comes on and gets a red card straight away

Thanks for the vid. Absolutely brilliant goal.

That's exactly what we stopped doing during our barren spell.   We wouldn't have a pop.  Same again this half  

McAtee needs to watch himself second half now he's on a yellow but he's not the type of player you'd wan't to take off is he.

1  -3

CLIFTON!

Cliftons given you your answer

I love Clifton more than Father Jack loves his brick

Bloody hell!

Let's bury them now!   Taylor needs a goal.  He is is getting the curse of the shop.

As if dagenham have given us the key to our playoff place

Loving JT’s commentary today - passion only surpassed by those noisy Mariners

Quoted from AdamHaddock

I love Clifton more than Father Jack loves his brick

Well I hope the “love” lasts longer than that one did.. “Feckin Brick”  ;D

Commentary is excellent. Fans are excellent. The players are fantastic. Keep it up boys!!!

But we must see this game out and follow it up with a win at Weymouth. UTM

Notts County just gone 2 up, we could do with them losing today.

This is the best crowd ive heard over the radio in a long long time

Quoted from SouthLakesMariner

I've never understood the JT critics, Town through and through with passion.

Spot on. Got to say this is the best Covid antidote ever. Feeling ill and loving it!

Scannell on for JMD

Things you love to see

Still a long way to go. Looking at the table it's still worrying with the teams behind us having games in hand. Hopefully by next Saturday they'll have lost/drew in midweek and lost whilst we win at the weekend to ease my anxiety 😂

Chesterfield hit the post from range. Sounds like we're letting them push us back too much

I think we are tiring a bit

VGR 1-0 Scunny

Scunts losing 😁😁

Don't panic, points in the bag are better than points you might get! ;)

We have to catch up and take over a team if not 2 above us if we are going to finish inside the play offs. It's definitely doable, I havent looked at the remaining games of others but feel we need catch Notts County and/or Chesterfield as I think Boreham Wood will do just enough in the extra games they have to scrape into the play offs.

1  -  4

And another yesssss

Taylor 4 - 1

Quoted from lukeo

Based on form it’s looking like Chesterfield might be the team to lose out in the chase for a play-off place

TAYLOR!!

1-4 Taylor

you ginger beauty!

4 - 1 up and good for goal difference. Going up for certain

YESSSSSSS amazing stuff, we can win 2 away games in the play offs no bother!

Please for Taylor.  Had a bit of a barren spell.  GET IN!

How good can it get, I was in middle of typing time to replace Taylor with Manny as the ball was not sticking up front anymore  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

this glorious listening in Jakarta. its my birthday, literally, and town are winning 4-1 against Chesterfield. Thank you Grimsby Town :-)

McAtee off Fox on

Statement of intent today.

Hopefully their fixture congestion starts to take it's toll and they lose to lower teams fighting for their life.

Superb

Is this the beginning of the end of the National League for us and a return to the EFL?

Impressive performance this. Chesterfield aren’t in form but they’re not losing many, mainly picking up draws. They’re certainly no mugs so to bang in 4 is a real statement of intent.

F/T    1   -   4  well done Town,Great win.

Get in town

Good win against a team above us. It shows what we can do when we turn it on. Also we shouldn't forget the magnificent fans who gave it all. Well done to all.

Great win, Scunny lose and now 13 points from safety with 6 games left :)

Sweeeet

What a great result. Well done to everyone involved and to all the town fans there, what a day to be a  Mariner

Made my weekend, we'll done all.

Amazing, great stuff!

Shithousery from humberside talking about the demise of scunny with town fans sounding brilliant in the background

Crofty couldn't pick a MOM.  Anybody at the game can chip in?

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Great win, Scunny lose and now 13 points from safety with 6 games left :)

Potentially confirmed next game then isnt it?

What can you say about that, we did everything we'd been wishing we had been doing, best game of the season. Hursts late squad additions have all been brilliant and exactly whats been needed. Got nothing to fear going into the playoffs wherever we finish, just need to show consistency till the end of the season

Be interested to hear how Joey Jones did. Suddenly feels like we've got some real depth there with him and Holohan coming in and Fox back.

Does that mean I have to book my tickets for Wembley?

Both JT and Crofty said Joey Jones did very well

JT getting over-excited.  Commented that Chesterfield fans started leaving the pitch after Taylor scored,

Hitting form at just the right time.  A statement of intent today.  As others said, no fear with playing away in the playoffs.  If we get there.  

Superb sharp-shooting today was like Alias Smith and Jones.  Apologies to our players of those names.  Linked to TV series in the 1970s, a spin-off of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Well done to all Town fans today, listened on the web today! Thought JT was going to ...

Looks like our form is coming good at the right time.

Looking at fixtures, other than Stockport at home I struggle to see where we'll drop a point!

Squad now looking very strong, and the latest midfield partnership seems to have the right balance straight away according to the commentators.

A continued good run in needed and Hurst will take it one game at a time while quietly chuckling at his detractors as his signings hopefully become more shrewd each week.

Having most of the squad fully fit now obviously helps and many will be striving to play for new contracts next season.

Every chance of staying in the top 7, and with the magnificent away support will make sure that a 12th man is always there for them.

Good weekend has started with this win - thanks Town !!

Brilliant.

I said last week we could just be peaking at the right time. Timing is everything.

Really uplifting. Hope we finish the season like we started. JJ looks a great acquisition from the comments of those who went.

Are we replicating the form at the beginning of the season to finish with a flourish?

Hope so!

Bet Cropper enjoyed that game.

I'm often quick to criticise but that was a superb performance ! Why can't we play like that all the time ?

As supporters that's all we ask,

Once again well done Town.

On that performance we would be happy finishing the season in 7th spot if Chesterfield finish 4th. No fear

Just seen Brentford won 1-4 at Chelsea as well and also came back from a goal down.

Seems so unreal the direction them and us have gone in since the days we played them fairly regularly.
