Shame holohan is out

Hi see Walsall scores a nice back flick goal against Wrexham ala Tony Rees a nice goal.

Sorry what pardon ???

I’m looking forward to seeing Conteh playing in a more advanced role today.

Matt Dean doing the commentary again. Whats happened to JT?

Quoted from DB

Matt Dean doing the commentary again. Whats happened to JT?

Don't know, but much prefer Matt Dean to JT.

It's all Town at the min started really well lets hope it continues

Its not often Rose gets physically out muscled, but their no.6 is. He's ruling the roost at the back at the moment.

Yeah Rose is gonna struggle today

Open goal then Andrews has to do better there

Great goal.

ROSE!!! Great football as well!

Quoted from It Bites

Yeah Rose is gonna struggle today

You was saying?

Beautiful football, Danny Rose SCORES GOALS

Interesting little tweak that paid off, Artell had swapped Kam and Greeny around and it's Greeny that gets the assist.

Get in 1-0 Town, poor defending by them for a change.

1 0 up and a goal to Rose YYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Quoted from It Bites

Yeah Rose is gonna score today

GETT IN!

Niccceeeee

Great start.

only 9 pts off the play offs ;)

1-1 from nothing. Town switched off

Waterfalls lack of pace caused that goal.

And thats why Waterfall hasn't been playing. His complete lack pf pace. Cartwright had no hope saving that.

Waterfall outpaced easily there.

Well it was a good shot, but Waterfall should have done better.

Cartwright has been fantastic recently but he must stand taller there, it was straight at him

Shame that.  Thought Waterfall has played well so far.  

Bad positioning. Lack of pace and not deserved.

Like the positive way town have set up.

Keep going lads!

Sunday league embarrassing defending from Waterfall shocking defending

Last 15, we've given stupid fouls away.  Before that , we just pressured enough for them to make errors.

Quoted from lukeo

Cartwright has been fantastic recently but he must stand taller there, it was straight at him

This is a joke right?

Shite defending 2-1 Walsall

Heads dropped for 10 mins which led to there goal Town have been the better Team tho. Could of been 2 or 3 up if chances took

Ffs. The usual, no one picking up the man from midfield. Two completely unmarked midifelders walking into the box

FFS

Again, Waterfall at fault.

Ffs

Headed clearance towards the penalty spot

2 1 down and what was the defence up to

Day light robbery to be losing this

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Ffs. The usual, no one picking up the man from midfield. Two completely unmarked midifelders walking into the box

This. FFS. Absolutely appalling.

Talk about contributing to your own downfall 🙄

Walsall made the sub and are now looking a threat , it’s not all waterfalls fault

Our Players seen to struggle with back to back performances! Waterfall against salford had a cracking game this game he's been shocking

Poor Glenno pass from LB just lobbed in to space on the edge of our box, then Waterfall trying a deft header rather than a simple header out for a corner.

Trying to play too much in a dangerous area?

We realy need to do something about the defense in this window

Glennon and waterfall shite defending

Three pasages of play before there second goal Glennon copulated up.
Hes been bad today.

Should of been 3-1 then our heads have gone need to get to HT

Quoted from It Bites

Walsall made the sub and are now looking a threat , it’s not all waterfalls fault

Well for sure he was at fault for both their goals.

How the f..k are we losing this ?

Waterfall has the turning circle of an oil tanker ! The bloke who scored the equaliser started 6-10 foot behind him !!!!!!!

As for the second goal our defending was pathetic and amateurish !!!!!!!!

Defensive reinforcements needed during the window !

Christ half time can't come quick enough, team falling to bits after they scored. So many misplaced passes and giving them the ball.

We don't have fanny about with set pieces.  Get it into the danger area. FFS.   They nearly scored off our free kick.

Defence is killing us. Shockingly bad. All us until we did what we do and gave them chances on a plate.

Waterfall totally rinsed. Turned like an oil tanker.

HT Town 1-2 Walsall

So frustrating after a decent start by us.

Quoted from 123614

Well for sure he was at fault for both their goals.

I disagree. No one came across to help him with the first goal . It’s not his fault he got done for speed .

get Waterfall off at half time for giving them two goals its killed us

Waterfall and Glennon have had a shocking half.

Quoted from immariner

Soft as shite our defence. All need replacing

To be honest all their chances came from mistakes further up the field that put the defence under pressure. Waterfall gave the ball away for the second but he's going to be beaten for pace and shouldn't have been put in that position for their first goal. Things just became sloppy after we scored and too many wasted chances then the first chance they get to pounce on a mistake they counter fast and get behind Waterfall.

Couldn't fault town for the first 20-25 mins could of been 2 or 3 up. After that we dropped a gear they got a goal then our heads went.

Poor from Waterfall for the first. Should have just brought him down

Where were Conteh and Green for the 2nd

Who was covering for the first?  He should have run to Taylor to close the angle down. I can't believe we are losing.  We have been all over them.

Quoted from It Bites

I disagree. No one came across to help him with the first goal . It’s not his fault he got done for speed .

He was beaten by his opponent, therefore his fault, which several other posters agree with.

While agreeing our defence needs improving our midfielders have got to track back and help out. Who was picking up their player for the second.

Easy to describe that half. One team took the.majority of their chances the other didn't

Still the same, lots of possesion not enough shots, stupid defensive errors. Waterfall is too slow, no real pace anywhere else, too many risky passes in our own half and not theirs. Dont get me on set plays.

Don't know what on earth Eisa is doing there

FFS urine poor! Pratting around in our own half with excrement passes

What the actual f*ck is going on 3-1

excrement defending. Absolutely terrible

Ffs what’s going on

Plan B should be “ just put your fckin foot through it”

I am lost for words, from 1 0 up to 3 1 down. Mahr sets them up this time.

Eisa, reserve that for the oppositions half please.

I'm all for playing football but NOT in dangerous positions FFS !

Some of these players are just not good enough playing out from the back, much improvement needed during the window !

How has the ref not given a penalty there? Joke

Lackadaisical there.  Crofty jinxed us because he said they ain't won in 20 years.  Or, maybe it's me because I didn't watch on Friday and we won easily.

Hows the ref not given a pen? Theres no reason for Green to go down!

FFS.

Oh FFS! Silly place to leave your foot

That minute sums up our season

Seriously!! Nightmare

This can put to bed the calls to play Conteh further forward, he's been awful today.

We didn't get a pen and they do. 4 1 down

Embarrassing

This is criminal.

Honestly, defensively we are weak as pi$$

We need some less error prone, inconsistent, defenders in the window.

What a f.....g shambles !

How can they give there pen and not ours its a joke

Their play left a foot in, no penalty.

Conteh leaves a foot in, penalty

Theirs was a definite Pen . Ours wasn’t

Quoted from It Bites

Theirs was a definite Pen . Ours wasn’t

Disagree, I think they both were tbh

Another year same old shite.

Watched 5 minutes of the second half and turned off now.

Quoted from Freemoash88

How can they give there pen and not ours its a joke

Because from where I was sat it wasn't a penalty.

This is excrement defending and hopefully Waterfall's last game in a Town shirt. Thanks for what you have done but sadly your legs have gone.

The defence must be sorted. We are by no means safe.

Probably illustrates how bad Salford were.

Paid for it but turned it off as soon as they scored the second goal, i knew what was going to happen with this bunch of useless tossers

Think this should seal the fate of about 5 players here. You can't polish a turd and make it shine.. And will folk stop mentioning play offs every time we score first. It's a jinx and no gonna happen with this crew

As a minimum we need two new centre backs. I have lost confidence in all of ours.

So poor defensively, who's supporting the back 4?

I didn't think ours was a penalty until I saw the replay then I noticed the player purposely push Green with his hip into his team mate

Far too many players are non league standard we need a good transfer window otherwise we’re in big trouble cos I can see forest green / Salford throwing a few quid at it.  

Quoted from mariner91

As a minimum we need two new centre backs. I have lost confidence in all of ours.

Gold star from me as that is exactly what our group are saying.

FFS.

It's a rout

We’re just so inconsistent. The confidence just seems to disappear in milliseconds.

As much as I like some of the players and appreciate the effort they’ve put in, it’s time to put the club first and not get emotional when it comes to getting rid. Out of the starting line up, I’d say not even 5 are worthy!

Ffs

Quoted from mariner91

Waterfall at fault there

For the first time I actually just sat and laughed at us conceding a goal that was comical.

What a horror show. Clearly this squad, as it is, are not up to the job at all.

Thousands walking out.

Atleast Niall Mahers mum might not be so vocal tonight on Facebook, unless she chooses to slag off every single player apart from her son

Are we just destined for eternal misery as Grimsby fans ?

This should of happened against Mansfield, it’s not a flash in the pan is it ? Salford were beyond dreadful

Quoted from arryarryarry

Thousands walking out.

Good I would as well

Happy Nappy New Year.

A nap hand conceded at home. We are worse now than we have ever been in the last few years. 3 defeats in the last 4 games, good job Forest and Sutton are worse than us!!!


??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??)

I don’t think our current back four are good enough to ensure our survival. We need new players and fast.

Sounds bad on Humberside radio feed.

Missus said let's go to bed when we went 3-1 down.  I should've listened.

What will DA say after that.

If he suggests the players are still learning the new way of playing he can intercourse right off.

Can't wait for the interview after if I don't seen him drag out Waterfall and chin him he can intercourse off aswell

Maher is guaranteed 3 mistakes a game he’s national league north at best.

This is the most spineless performance I've seen from a Town side in a long time. We were the better team before Waterfall got minced (I think he's finished at this level unfortunately) and then we completely folded. Some players look like they've thrown in the towel. I don't think we're a particularly bad side but some, especially at the back, need a big shake-up.

Quoted from arryarryarry

What will DA say after that.

If he suggests the players are still learning the new way of playing he can intercourse right off.

His style of play can come next season for now we need to get results playing anyway possible save all the philosophy bollox for next August.

Turned off at 4-1. Absolutely ***ng cr@p.

This lays firmly at the feet of Hurst. Wasted our money on non league standard players. Artell don't have a chance with this lot.

I haven’t heard Clifton mentioned once on the radio.

Quoted from Sir Matt Tease

What a f.....g shambles !

This site really makes me laugh  ;D

Four red crosses for this post suggest that some on here are happy with our resolute defending today  ;D What a bunch of tossers !

Why isn't Gardner on, game is lost give Rose a break

I agree that Artell should not make any attempts to justify any aspect of this embarrassing capitulation.

Big changes in personnel needed at the back.

We have far to many players who are non league quality. Only player I feel sorry for is Danny Rose. He must be thinking why the f*ck did I sign for these.

Did better under Ben and Shaun.

Rose missed a sitter

I think the biggest worry is the absolute lack of balls amongst them. And this removes the idea that Waterfall’s “leadership” negates the negatives in playing him. But every time we start playing badly they crumple which when we’re not very good anyway is alarming.

First things first, at least two centre backs in. If we can find a full back available who’s better than we have (not hard) then get them too.

Quoted from Mayaman

Did better under Ben and Shaun.

You must be joking.

Hate to say it but we look weak mentally and physically. What’s worrying me is lack of plan B when we went 3-1 down . We keep making the same mistakes and I think Artell is gonna get found out pretty quick unless he has a good Jan window

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Far too many players are non league standard we need a good transfer window otherwise we’re in big trouble cos I can see forest green / Salford throwing a few quid at it.  

Might as well hang onto them then.

Praise and Grumble will be interesting tonight.

As has been said already on here, Artell's appointment worries me.

Quoted from RonMariner

Big changes in personnel needed at the back.

No chance we'll ever find 4 players on the reject pile at other clubs. We have to abandon this insane style of play otherwise relegation is a certainty.

Town haven't got the players to play out from the back and come to that they haven't got the players who can defend either - big changes needed.

Where is the new manager bounce? this is worse then we have ever been... hmmmmmm Artel hmmmm

Quoted from 123614

You must be joking.

More direct.

Quoted from GrimRob

No chance we'll ever find 4 players on the reject pile at other clubs. We have to abandon this insane style of play otherwise relegation is a certainty.

No . You have to play tippy tappy football out from the back because it’s the modern way and is backed up by the stats gods ……

Quoted from denni266

This lays firmly at the feet of Hurst. Wasted our money on non league standard players. Artell don't have a chance with this lot.

He's been sacked, get over it and move on. I wish I could be as dedicated to anything in my life as you are to hating Paul Hurst.

Quoted from RonMariner

I agree that Artell should not make any attempts to justify any aspect of this embarrassing capitulation.

Big changes in personnel needed at the back.

The disappointing thing for me is we’ve spunked FA Cup money on some of these players, and we’ve ended up with a group of players who are comfortably worse than last season’s, not only those we’ve paid fees for players who are worse than players we’ve released. Sad thing is the as the summer window dragged on there was clearly some names through the door who maybe weren’t the first names on the list.

Either way Artell is going to have his work cut in the next couple of windows. I can’t see us going down this year, but it’s well and truly a right off.

Quoted from promotion plaice

As has been said already on here, Artell's appointment worries me.

I think how he handles the interview after this is really going to be important today.

Some of the comments are comical. We was opening up a Walsall side that are the most inform team in the division for fun for 40 minutes. Individual errors and we've copitulated. There's a reason we are where we are and it's been said before that these players are not good enough nor are they consistent enough to deliver what Artell wants. The window is open and like he's said we are working to improve.

Quoted from chicaneuk

I think how he handles the interview after this is really going to be important today.

Yeah it needs calling out and saying how it is, some are just not good enough and up to standard and changes are ahead, he will get relegated with alot of this bunch

I’m only staying to end to applaud Rose off.

Never seen such a mentally weak GTFC team in my life. Soon as they scored their first, heads went down and all their early good work was thrown out of the window. Frankly undefensible and incomprehensible for so called professional footballers. Embarrassing and unacceptable. Left at 1-4 because quite frankly, if they can't give a toss then neither can I. Big changes needed. 😡

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

No . You have to play tippy tappy football out from the back because it’s the modern way and is backed up by the stats gods ……

It's not backed up by stats though. It's utter balderdash to pretend it is. If you take a data-driven approach the data should dictate how you play not the other way around. Our whole approach is amateur and muddled.

Newport take the lead at Sutton.

Quoted from tashee69

I’m only staying to end to applaud Rose off.

He’ll be gone in Jan if someone opens the cheque book . I don’t blame him either he’s far too good to be playing in this team

There will be no decent players available in January.
We need to find a style to stay up the rebuild in the summer if we go down we have a ready made non league squad.

Quoted from It Bites

He’ll be gone in Jan if someone opens the cheque book . I don’t blame him either he’s far too good to be playing in this team

He can play in any team in this league he will be thinking what have I done signing for these looking at the defending..

Quoted from promotion plaice

As has been said already on here, Artell's appointment worries me.

He's only been in charge for 5 weeks FFS!

Even at 5-1 up, the majority of their players are putting more effort in!

Danilo orsi not deemed good enough banging them in for minnows Crawley again,
Why do we constantly get rid of half decent players and replace with nincompoops?

Quoted from promotion plaice

Newport take the lead at Sutton.

1-1 now.

Oh no shocking.

Quoted from 123614

He's only been in charge for 5 weeks FFS!

Ben and Shaun steadied the ship and we could all see that we weren’t too bad but these 2 performances against Mansfield and Walsall are WEAK , ok for 40 mins doesn’t cut it against a good side . We will stay up because 2 teams will be worse . He is trying to implement a style on a mentally weak set of players . It’s not working at all unless we play shite like Salford

1-6 shocking

This is flipping pathetic. Not sure I've ever felt so ashamed as a town fan.

I'm glad my wallet out talked my heart today and I'm watching from home instead of making the trip today.

6 goals is pathetic.

Thrashed 6 -1 Absolute dire

No excuse , but those penalty decisions destroyed us.

Just watch Waterfall for that sixth, don't want to pick players out but that's Sunday League positioning.

Thank goodness it's over

A shocker.

Degree of understanding but after the Lord Mayors show what a let down.

Artell job starts today.

Lowest I’ve felt in 45 years of supporting the club

We could easily have conceded 6 against Mansfield. We have got this 100% wrong. We present the easiest challenge to play against in the division. Salford didn't do their homework but everyone else will. And supposedly this is the Grimsby Way lol.

Unbelievable.

I will lose all respect for Artell if he makes any attempt to sugar coat any aspect of this shambles.

No point DA going up the ref moaning about the pen we shipped in 6 soft excrement goals from poor defending.
How about DA comes out in the interview and tell us what we want to hear no cover up BS lip service. Call out some players and dish out some P45s and bring in some players that can play for 90 minutes.

Quoted from It Bites

The first 40 minutes proved that we can play good football, it was individual errors that cost us in this game, and at 3-1 down we gave up, which is not good enough.  That is NOT David Artells fault, the players let him down and should be ashamed for the way they capitulated.

DA bangs on about how he wants them to play. Surely, you have to work with the materials you have.  You can't make decent fish 'n' chips out of a stickleback and a sweet potato.

Quoted from bawarmy

Lowest I’ve felt in 45 years of supporting the club

Burton was worse imo

Salford and Fgr will buy their way out of trouble.

We are in big trouble. We can’t rely on the teams below us to save our asses.

Even at 3 - 1 I wasn't worried.  The penalty that we didn't get led to the one that did.  That was the death blow.

Only Poor old Rose to come out of that with any credit,he must be wondering what the hell he come to with team mates that can't string two passes together.

Absolutely gobsmacked - even suicidal.
Cannot ever remember us losing 6 - 1 at home in 65+ years supporting Town - words fail me.

Quoted from Mayaman

Even at 3 - 1 I wasn't worried.  The penalty that we didn't get led to the one that did.  That was the death blow.

Personally I thought it was all over at 3-1, and most of the team did too.

That half our goal difference advantage flushed away too.

Quoted from Heswall Mariner

Absolutely gobsmacked - even suicidal.
Cannot ever remember us losing 6 - 1 at home in 65+ years supporting Town - words fail me.

Hopefully it won’t end in that .
I was just talking to my boy about how I can’t remember in 40 years losing 6-1 at home so feel better it’s over 65 years according to you . Still , not a glorious record these baffoons have created .

Quoted from 123614

That is NOT David Artells fault, the players let him down and should be ashamed for the way they capitulated.

Maybe not but haven’t we got a deal worse yet under the new boss. Bar Salford who weren’t at the races and let us play the writings on the wall if the not new owners don’t stump up some cash.

Quoted from RonMariner

Salford and Fgr will buy their way out of trouble.

We are in big trouble. We can’t rely on the teams below us to save our asses.

They weren't worried the last time we were staring at relegation

The BBC have it that they only had 34% possession .

How many would they have scored if we gave them the ball more often.?

68 years supporting town and that's the worse score at home in that time.

Artell. Tell the truth or you will lose any respect the fans might have for you.
We were crap and only one man deserves his wage this week Rose.

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Just watch Waterfall for that sixth, don't want to pick players out but that's Sunday League positioning.

Sorry but I don't agree, Sunday league players I've played against defended better than Waterfall did today, he was woeful. I can't believe how a player can perform so well only days previously then put in a performance like he has today.

Maher was worse jogging back for last goal woeful
