I might be missing something but Contehs regular appearances on the bench feels harsh. He’s hit a slightly rough patch but for me he’s evidently our best player when even playing at 80% of his potential

Big chance to relieve some pressure today, we'll go into 18th at least with a win, possibly even 16th.

He did look a cut above early doors, but I think he played well below standard in the games before he was dropped.

I watched FGR at Harrogate earlier in the season and they were dreadful. In fact both teams were terrible that day. They do have one very tidy looking player though and that is Kyle McAllister - a Modric type player who makes things tick and who gets about the pitch with a very sweet left foot. Look out for him if you’re there. Wonder how many fans we’ll have there today.?

You can't really play Green & Conteh together as they're too similar. Unless you push Conteh into an attacking midfielder role and I'm not sure you'd drop Gav or Andrews from that role on current form.

Green deserves the start after the last few games.

Conteh will be back for sure at some point.

Try contacting Mariners TV for an international pass, as for RH try this:-

I don't know if either will work but give it a try.

He's clearly never watched a Grimsby game in his life and gets far too excited about normal action.

One thing I will say about today's commentator is that he has zero clue who any of our players are. Frequently he's just referring to 'grimsby players' instead of calling them by their name, and when he does try to identify someone half the time he gets it wrong (he's just called Holohan Green, and keeps calling Pyke Andrews)

Our expert commentator told us the ball came off ( unnamed ) Grimsby player for a corner and Green ( No8 ) crossed the ball. It was Holohan. This guy is very poor but mouthy.

So going back to your no reason to complain comment you've now actually conceded that the commentator had no idea who our players are and keeps calling them by the wrong name.

There's no reason to complain about the standard of coverage the bbc are providing. When Tondeur's commentating he gets half the players names wrong these days so it's no different to normal.

This was my major take from the first half. Football isn’t good but not bad, FGR not great but not poor, just an average game of L2 football really. Other than the score only a few little complaints here and there which I’m sure would be true of FGR fans too.

But yeah, the commentator is making those little annoyances even worse and I’m finding myself shouting at him through the TV for being so sl-lit.

I feel reasonably confident that we’ll have someone in by the Sutton game next weekend. Two cup games and a league win have relieved the sense of urgency somewhat, but that’s about to ramp right up and a month is ample time to run a robust process.

Obviously not great, but I don't know how anyone can say we haven't had a goal threat. We had one cleared off the line by our own player and several other scrambles in the box. Wind is a massive factor, still a possibility we could come back from this.
Posted by: Mayaman, November 18, 2023, 4:04pm; Reply: 124
the wind is playing a part and we need to capitalise on it.  We started playing long diagonal balls.  Madness kicking into the wind. Still think we can get back into this though.

Can’t see us getting back into this and I’m actually thinking FGR will extend their lead before we do score. They keep the ball well and don’t rush, unlike Morecambe who looked to play forward quickly. That meant when we won the ball we had space and areas to attack, whereas FGR don’t leave anything. They’re patient, composed and although few chances for them they’ve probably been the better of the chances.

From our side, we haven’t been able to force as many errors, haven’t won the ball back as often as last weekend and we haven’t got into any flow. The few chances we have created have never really looked - bar the goal line clearance - like it’s troubling them in any way shape or form.

I’m gonna go with a FGR scoring next with Town then waking up and grabbing two back, the second being in the 86th minute, meaning we chase the game. Doing that allows FGR to break and they go on to score again and win 4-2.

Was a brilliant run from Hunt there to take a few players out of the game and get them on the back foot. All Holohan had to do was shift it out to the wing quickly and we'd have been in a dangerous position but instead dawdles, gives it away and they nearly score on the counter.

A point saved in my opinion.  The wind played a part but we chose not to keep it on the deck.  After the poor pen decision we crumbled and lost our composure. Scrapped it out until Conteh came on and steadied the ship.  Shocking weather, shocking defending, shocking commentary.

Good fighting spirit to get a draw but in all honesty those are two very poor teams. Maybe we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was the windy conditions that made them look bad.


It's the same for both sides mate.

Wilson wasn’t on the pitch when the first goal went in and clearly scored the second without assistance.


Do you work for sky? He was clearly on the pitch😂😂

Have to say that given the fact that we were 2-0 down at half time, I'm pleased with a point. However, so disappointed that we have not beaten them, FGR were bloody appalling !

We really do have to sort ourselves out defensively.

Please, Please, Please appoint a manager who knows what he's doing ASAP !!!!!!!!

Well done Town - for coming back against the adversity of the first half. Worth 3 points against FG - that Wilson equaliser.
Current management team unbeaten - with some tricky fixtures - well done

Good result, poor performance. Given the other results, it’s a decent day but we need to get someone to sort the defence out.

We drew with FGR  and the two teams below drew, also the 10 teams above us lost and drew.

Football gods are smiling at us today

Nod to Shaun & Ben for changing it up and it worked as we came back to get a point. Really frustrating though as FGR looked like if you pressed hard & competed for every ball they’d capitulate.

Whoever comes in and I hope it’s this week needs to fix the defence as I’m not convinced any of them can actually defend at the minute.

Could have gone 16th today with a win.

Must win next week. I don’t care if it’s blowing a hurricane and the ref is blind, no more friggin excuses. Just win for Chris’s sake. If we can’t beat FGR and Sutton we will be playing Scunthorpe next season.

Can't keep conceding 2 or 3 goals a game and expect 3 points with any regularity.

We are scoring goals most games, which is good, and just about keeping our heads above water. Get tighter at the back and we could start moving up the league. 15th spot is only 3 points away, and it's all very tight in the bottom half.

Was hoping for a win, but a point from being 2 down is fair enough, and also denies a team below us 2 points. Results went our way mainly, so not too much harm done.

Glad we didn’t lose and normally I’m all for an away point but forest green were absolutely abysmal and we mad them look ok by not closing down enough . We won’t play a worse team all season and we huffed and puffed again .

I can’t get my head round the meltdown. Horrendous conditions which quite clearly affected the course of the entire game.

Yet again the players have come from behind and positively affected the course of a game. Happy to be proven wrong but we’re absolutely nowhere near trouble based on recent performances.

Why bring on a sub in the 93rd minute? Dont’d understand the logic. Presumably to shore up the defence and/or waste time. It takes time for a defender to settle into the game and that made Amos susceptible to a mistake.

We could have lost all three points with that decision.

I saw some of Notts and Bradford (second half). Notts passing the ball across their box and playing out or trying to. Three or four times they lost possession and let Bradford back into it. It’s a modern fad and I wish they would stop doing it.  Years ago you would get an absolute b..king from the coach for that. The idea is attack the other goal, not mess about at the back. Perhaps they were watching England last night.

Score reflected the performance, but in the end Cartwright kept us in it. Wilson is a good finisher and we created a few chances, but the number of 10 yrd passes we overhit in attacking positions was ridiculous. Good to know we can come back from behind now so there is always hope. Won't use the D word its almost like swearing. :D

Commentary said 150 hardy away fans.

Still work to do, and the pitch won the contest.

Cartwright made some brilliant saves on several occasions.

How many times did Glennon's crosses skid across the 6 yard box?

Conteh and Wilson certainly improved ghe 2nd half performance.

Andrews is fast becoming a midfield enforcer - lost count of him winning tackles or intercepting their through balls. Ran at them as well after getting the ball, putting pressure on their players.

Fresh legs were a big factor in getting back in a game that could easily have ended 5 - 5 with better finishing by BOTH sides !
