Town win today, I can feel it in my píss.

No pepple surprises me


Ignore me. 5 loans

Cropper, Pepple, Maguire-Drew and Amos all not even making the matchday squad. Some depth that

Quoted from Hagrid

No pepple surprises me


Ignore me. 5 loans

I counted 4 loans? But yes harsh on Pepple.

Quoted from Poojah

Town win today, I can feel it in my píss.

As long as you can't taste it!

Going to be good players not in the 18 every week now. No Pearson or Amos either.

Will this be the first game Bogle will play against us since he left? I'd be surprised he doesn't score against us but I'm feeling confident of a win today. UTM!

Big game today
Get a result and we can start to dream

Think it might allow us to be more of an attacking threat if, as I assume it will be, we are returning to the 4231 of last season.

With Richardson playing as the #10 it will mean there's someone closer to Taylor than as has been while we've been setting up as 433.

Such a strong looking bench. With substitutions being more important, this is looking more like it.

Wow. That’s a fair few good players not making the squad.
Personally, I’d have JMD in the squad if not starting as he’s better than Kiernan for me.

Good attacking bench Hunt,Green,Wearne,Orsi,Simmonds, Maher and of course Battersby

Quoted from chaos33

Wow. That’s a fair few good players not making the squad.
Personally, I’d have JMD in the squad if not starting as he’s better than Kiernan for me.

I’d have at least had him on the bench. Wearne for example has shown very little since coming in, bar a good ten minutes against Northampton.

His line up makes sense to me, rewarding the recent goalscorers and going with the wonky 4-4-2 weve seen alot, a technically gifted striker up front with taylor, should be more like the team of last season playing this way

Now Hurst got Hunt I doubt JMD will get much of a sniff. Probably out on loan in the NL soon.

Players not even on bench shows how strong we suddenly look - and McAtee and Scannell still out, two of our best technically gifted players

PH can afford to be more attacking cos (for example) if a full back got injured during game he could put Harry there and/or Smith and bring Maher on

Green and Hunt are great subs in midfield

Shame Pepple can't make bench but he may well go down pecking order on regular basis

Looking very strong and will be interesting to see how quickly it all clicks

Taylor must have been tanking it to get from Tesco to Newport in that time.
The big question, will Omar celebrate if he scores?

btw
Bring Maher on if Smith switched to FB
But better obvs if Harry switched there and we can keep attacking style

Of course he will.

I love Smith, but I never want to see him at FB ever again

Quoted from Kris2

Now Hurst got Hunt I doubt JMD will get much of a sniff. Probably out on loan in the NL soon.

Or he responds to the challenge and forces his way in?

Quoted from buckstown

The big question, will Omar celebrate if he scores?

He'll probably jump up and down like he just won the world cup, take his shirt off, light a cigar and blow smoke at the pontoon. Probably going to enjoy today and probably has it in for us like most of the former players from that team for some reason.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Or he responds to the challenge and forces his way in?

I'm not sure how anyone expects him to do that when he never gets any game time and he still manages to make things happen in the 5-7 minutes he gets when he does but never gets in the team. Hurst already decided he doesn't like him because him and Doig were defenders and get triggered by any player who isn't good at defending even if they get goals and assists each time they play.

It’s a long way to blow smoke at the pontoon from Newport 🤨

Better start then against Wasall at least so far

Tristan Abrahams scores after 2 minutes for Eastleigh whilst the immortal Louis Robles scores again for Newtown

Nearly from Clifton, starting a lot better than Walsall

Wow clifton

Just got in.  Town doing well.  Kiernan playing well.  At least no Podge to urine on our parade.

What a beautiful game so far by Grimsby. This team looks superb!

Richardson looking tasty.

Quoted from Mayaman

Just got in.  Town doing well.  Kiernan playing well.  At least no Podge to urine on our parade.

no just Bogle

Superb start. Horrendous pass from Smith to let Newport back into the game.

Great shot by Clifton and save by their keeper, good start by Town.

Clifton looking good

Not getting carried away because we're only 13 minutes in to his debut, but Richardson looks really classy

I know it’s traditional retire shirts when club legends move on, but Newport installing a ginger pitch surround in tribute to Ryan Taylor is a really nice touch.

Anyone got a link to the commentary please, I can’t find it.

Best start we've had this season, the team settled in quickly and more than holding their own. I'm sure there's a goal for us coming soon.

Bogle's got his diving kit on.

We look vulnerable in the space between midfield and defence. Just need to tighten up.

Nope they've got rugby league on DAB , FM for town.

Apologies, not listening on Humberside, my mistake, now deleted.

Richardson is a tidy player

Anyone know how Cleethorpes are getting on (FA Cup) ?

Ollie palmer puts Wrexham in front, Joe ironside gets 2 for Cambridge. Quigley scores on his debut for Rochdale

Considering their keeper looks like he's about 5'7 we really ought to be putting them under more pressure from the set piece opportunities we're winning around their box. Delivery hasn't been up to scratch so far.

Who the intercourse is taking free/corner kicks ffs

Cant see how crocombes had the career he's had and never really settled at any club previously, he's quality

Is it just me or does the grass look quite long?

Our passing is our own worst enemy again this week so far

Sounds as if the ref is giving us a few decisions.

Makes a happy change doesn't it

Quoted from DB

Sounds as if the ref is giving us a few decisions.

No he's reffing it fairly. The only thing he might have missed so far was a deflection on Bogle's effort when he gave a goal kick. Everything else he's got spot on and he hasn't bought any of the exaggerated contact from Newport's players.

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Makes a happy change doesn't it

Sure does :)

Getting some joy down the right but Efete and Kiernan very wasteful.

Town playing at pace but need to shoot even if it's a half opportunity.

Am I the only one who doesn't particularly rate Kiernan?

To be fair this is a huge improvement on previous first halfs, i'd take lacking end product to lacking any product

We should of scored then, it just would land to us though would it

Kiernan looking no better than Sousa today.

I'd be looking at bringing the lad from Birmingham on.

Efete is infuriating. Just makes all the wrong decisions. Just needs to whip the ball in but takes an extra touch.

Quoted from Davec

Am I the only one who doesn't particularly rate Kiernan?

I can see his quality, but cant see how that quality is much different to sousa who I feel like he's replaced

Watched that again and Bogle came across Holohan.\

Quoted from davmariner

Efete is infuriating. Just makes all the wrong decisions. Just needs to whip the ball in but takes an extra touch.

For me he always has to take a touch. I don't think I've ever seen him wip in a cross first time always has to roll his studs over the ball

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

I can see his quality, but cant see how that quality is much different to sousa who I feel like he's replaced

Kiernan , imho, makes better decisions, but to my eye looks a bang average div 2 winger. So an improvement on Sousa, but not as much as we might have been hoping

Andy Cook puts Bradford 1 up and the much loved Stefan Payne scores for Welling

Tbf Kiernan did score in midweek, but I totally get the Sousa contrasts. I noticed on Walsall's forum last week a few mentions about him not having enough end product, which certainly adds weight to the comparison.

Kieran is the new erico sousa

Looks good, tries hard, no end product

Need to shoot > Richardson had an opening but waiting for the perfect shot.  

Whats the odds on kiernan first to score might put a bet on  ;D

HT 0-0

No complaints from me, Town the better team.

Good half.
Couple of tweaks we can get 3points out of this.

Solid enough half that and I think we look the more accomplished team, despite not threatening massively.

Happy enough with that given our propensity to do well late in games and the options on the bench.

Have we ever played such a good half of football against Newport? We certainly look more comfortable in this 442 our movement off the ball is the best its been all season, we're controlling the midfield and pressing high and putting pressure on Newport when they're in possession.

Only a couple of things worrying me, one we're not really creating any chances, Newport and our poor passing is snuffing that out right at the end of our attacking movement and when Newport do break on us you always ge tthe feeling theres a goal coming.

Special mention for our ref who's having a good game so far probably only missed the deflection on Bogles shot that should of been a corner. We don't get to say that often and it can easly change in this country so getting it in early while I can  ;D

Richardson looks like a classy player, he’d probs have had a good opportunity if Kiernan hadn’t played like a competition winner.

Morris & Holohan bossing the middle and Clifton’s effort on goal was a cracker

Much the better side.

Kiernan is the most wasteful winger I've ever seen.

New lad looks like he needs to see a bit of the ball. Bogle looks dangerous.

Decent first half but no cutting edge. Could have been 2 up in the first 10 mins. Glennon wasteful with uncharacteristic poor deliveries. Think Bryn Morris has been outstanding.

60% possession away from home in the first half in both this game and against walsall is a pretty mad statistic, if our attack starts firing more we'll be at the top end of the table easy

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

60% possession away from home in the first half in both this game and against walsall is a pretty mad statistic, if our attack starts firing more we'll be at the top end of the table easy

We have a lot of possession high up the pitch too; we’re just not making enough of it at the minute.

HT at 0-0 and we seem to have the better of the half. Options are on the bench so I'm looking forward to us scoring. Let's hope our new fitness regime helps in the second half and we finish them off. As Chrisblor posted the ref is doing his job which is nice to see and makes a change for the good.

I must mention the town fans there who you hear above the commentary.

If we have our standard 2nd half showing, when we are normally better, 3 pts for the taking.

Good firet half, definitely the better team. Have to say there has been so much opportunity for kiernan and he hasn't made the most or it albeit efete has been frustrating in support. Would have liked JMD to have had the opportunity to take over in that role, shames he's not on the bench, I think wearne can count his self lucky to have made the 18 ahead of him.  Maybe the new lad might be an option if kiernan doesn't start making more of these opportunities, or perhaps clifton switching over to the right.

No idea how they've kept that out from Richardson

AAAAAAAGGH, should of scored then. Great defending by Newport on the goal line

Whats up with Glennon? can't seem to get his left peg going today.

Wish we didn't float balls in.

What a peach.

Get in! Was just thinking if only hunt was on, clever free kick that

Lovely strike, get in.

We might of got away with it there!

Glad they don't have goal line technology at this level put it that way

Brilliant goal

That was over the line  ;)

About a foot over the line!

Quoted from TAGG

What a goal straight off the training ground. Thank you for the vid.

the Shop puts York 1 up

Cleethorpes Town now losing 4 -0 , looks like they're out of the cup.

Get Wearne on for Kiernan for the last 10 no reason to risk him getting a 2nd yellow

CLIFTON!!!!!

Clifton again, 2-0 up and going up

Get in Harry!

What a team we have here!

Yes get in

Oh yes! HOW COOL???

CLIFTONS ON FIRE, YOUR DEFENCE IS PETRIFIED

Away day kings at it again

Quoted from Mayaman

Croudson a fantastic coach

Winners again, going up.

Another clean sheet .  

Good away win, never sounded like we would lose. Not sure where the ref got like 8 minutes of injury time from.

Brilliant result that, really enjoyed watching it, we were really good all the way through, and the curse of rodney parade is broken

Scunthorpe bottom tonight  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Scuns & Imps both lose 2-0 and we win 2-0, what a fantastic day. Not forgetting those 405 fans a safe journey home.

Quoted from Poojah

Town win today, I can feel it in my píss.

Town win and I don’t have Chlamydia. Perfect day.

Kept us shape!

Great win well done lads

Best performance in the league so far.  Second half very comfortable.

9th in the league with a game in hand, class

What a superb start to the season.

Even at orient, a pen and wonder goal.
Paul Hurst proving- again- what a coach he is, just want us to get that first win at home now

Only team that have beaten us in the league this season are currently sat top having won 6 and drawn 1 of their 7 games.

We’re alright.

If Bogle had been playing for Town he'd have had a hattrick.

Unbelievable effort from the players, we out worked them and out fought them.

The players desire to win cannot be underestimated.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How many town there?
Probably already mentioned so apologies if it has

Dominant from start to finish without actually creating much. I counted one good ball into the box from about 15 goes, if we can get that sorted we could genuinely be automatic promotion contenders based on that.

Morris and Holohan absolutely superb, Richardson and Simmonds with great debuts. Clifton grew into it and could’ve easily scored 3 today!

I’m going to say it, I’m excited

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How many town there?
Probably already mentioned so apologies if it has

405 someone put earlier

We have the quality squad for using 16 players per game, if we need them.  And to select the 16. This year s without McAtee and others, and we have a home game in hand.  

Unlike some games last season, our away form is outstanding this season.

Clifton’s goal gets better with each viewing. Not known for his composure and coolness under pressure. He had 4 or 5 defenders around him.  Still scores and sends the keeper the wrong way.  He has become a goal scorer.  Stepping up as competition for places increases.

Fingers crossed for a bit of home form and things could look very good in a few weeks time. UTM.

Can the ‘Clifton isn’t good enough now we have strength in the team’ give it a rest now?! What a result!! Exciting times! UTM!!

Didn’t expect anything there today
Fab win town brilliant
Looking 4wd to the season even more now
Come on Town!!

Remember in Only Fools and Horses when Del became a millionaire and he didn't know what to do with himself ? The chase was over and the chase was the drive that kept him going ...... That's how I feel now ,...... ONLY flipping KIDDING... THE TOWN ARE GOING UP . Let's believe it

The new lad Simmonds looked real good when he came on.
Both goals sublime.
Kept our set routine of only scoring in the last 30 minutes going 🤣

Excellent win. Another clean sheet as well, things are building nicely. I firmly believe only injuries will stop us from being play off contenders.

Hurst suggesting Harry's goal might have been an OG, hence their defence looking flat footed

National League top 4 tonight:

Chesterfield
Wrexham
Notts County
Solihull Moors

The will all be very grateful that they don’t have to play and lose to Grimsby this season.

What a magnificent result, performance and showing from the Town fans. Safe journey back everyone.
UTM

Who was it that posted here this week claiming that Clifton was ‘not a natural footballer’?

Care to watch his goal today and reconsider?

Totally agree, easy to get stuck down there for 10 years or more, just like some of those “big” teams have found  :-/

What a cracking win that is. Would have been happy with a point based on previous meetings and Newport are a pretty decent side, but it sounds like we were well in control for the entire game.

Imagine how good we'll be when the strikers get scoring.

Great performance. Solid and well deserved throughout. And what a clearance off the line from Holohan! And check out how many goals the top 4 in the National League scored today. That is going to be one hell of a dogfight for those two spots between those 4 teams!

Cracking win . 3 on the bounce away is good going  by any standard
