Subs  Eastwood, Efete, Green, Wood, Holohan, Wilson, Obikwu

A strong attacking bench.

Looking forward to seeing Vernam today

Quoted from DB

A strong attacking bench.

Only one defender on it

Quoted from chaos33

Only one defender on it

The best defence is attack!

What bothers me is that we are going with the same defence that is leaking goals for fun.

Waterfall isn't even a sub today so here's hoping DA has coached them in the last 14 days to not make stupid mistakes. He obviously has faith in them.

Nice spread and fancy something out of this👍

Penno for town

Lovely football for town.  Was hoping ot see the replay.  Got a cross between the test card and an 80's video tennis game.  - Made by Horizon perhaps

1-0
Roses

Incredible start. 1-0 Town, penalty scored by Rose.

Great football from Town

We're all over them here, almost 2

Excellent Penalty. ! 0 up and it's what we deserve after the start we made.

Cmon town keep going at them

If Chas had hit first time.

I'll tell you what if Town can keep this level of pressing and good football this could be 3 or 4 nil.

Quoted from Mayaman

Lovely football for town.  Was hoping ot see the replay.  Got a cross between the test card and an 80's video tennis game.  - Made by Horizon perhaps

Fine on MarinersTV

Mariners TV have us in League one which is a nice surprise

Higher press by Town or is it just me.

2-0 Eisas

2-0 Eisa with an incredible team goal

Eisa, yes were on fire 2 0 up

I say again keep going at them

Get in!  Maher did well there as it was a poor corner.

Get in, poor corner by Vernam  ;D

I'll stand by what I said we look up for it good football and still think Town could win 4 nil

Nice to hear the clapping for Cameron and Dave on the 16th Min

We're carving them apart.  Just go to keep attacking.  Vernam.s gotta score soon.

These are here for a beating need us out of sight b4 halftime so things don't get tetchy

Mariners not letting Notts play at all.

How did Clifton miss that!

Miss from Harry, hitting the bar.

Crossbar haha should of been 3

Miss of the season

We need to score next

This is barnstorming stuff from Town.

Jeez, What's Andrews been eating?

Clifton had to score his chance

The lads have been working hard on the training ground on this showing.

Quoted from promotion plaice

The lads have been working hard on the training ground on this showing.

Absolutely, there's so much more pace and desire to win the ball. Lovely to see.

Sounds like we're attacking well. Hopefully we make all this play count and kill the game off

2-1  >:(

Dembele equalises for Brum against Swansea

Vernam really isn’t up to it so poor

Crash, bang, wallop and they score 2 1. When will we have a clean sheet?

That’s why we needed harry to bury that chance

Quoted from DB

Crash, bang, wallop and they score 2 1. When will we have a clean sheet?

When we don't gift away possession

Where was Glennon?

Should be 6-0 up easily

Quoted from Wrights35

Don't talk rubbish!

Quoted from 123614

Don't talk rubbish!

Poo bearrrrrrrrrrr

2-2

2-2. Normal service has resumed. We can't defend for toffee.

This is what happens when you fluff your chances against this team. flipping Clifton is absolutely male masturbation on the ball. We can't keep carrying him in midfield because he puts a lot of effort in, he's junk on the ball and has zero technical ability and should have put this match out of sight.

FFS sake.  Should be five up

2 2 and defence go to pieces, again

Well it's groundhog day, again.

Clifton scores the game is over … back to normal now 2/2

Complete shite!
??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??)

Why are we incapable of marking and maintaining that mark on players in the box! Two goals almost identical with a man free stood between town defenders

Ffs

It's almost like a switch turned off in their heads at 35 mins.

Clifton must score his chance to make it 3-0. FFS 2-2 is ridiculous from the position we was in

Awful Town. Down our right again

Dreadful defending down the right again . We’ll get another “ we should of been 6-0 up “ speech after the game . If you can’t control the game defensively at home then we’re doomed

Come on Town ffs, so bloody leaky at the back

So again, for 38 minutes we are good but let 2 in for the second home game running before half time. I bloody hope it doesn’t follow the same Walsall script in the second half.

Awful miss from Clifton to kill the game

Awful customary defending week after week, Mullarkey at fault for both

Here we flipping go again! 🙄

Quoted from Plankton

Clifton must score his chance to make it 3-0. FFS 2-2 is ridiculous from the position we was in

"Heeee's one of our ooowwwwwwnnnn!" "brains" Clifton will always be the first name on the team sheet, one of our own you know! That's the most important thing.

Clifton needs dropping, we can't let those chances go. He scores we're out of sight. He has a lot of desire but it doesn't match the technical ability required.

Mullarkey at fault for both. I accept it was a poor touch from Vernam but when the ball is not under our control and bouncing in front of our back four you don’t want your full back bombing on leaving a massive gap. For that very reason.

The second was an excellent cross but he did nothing to stop him or hold him up. He was actually having an okay game before then but 1 v 1 defending he is not very good.

This is just painful. DA will be doing that weird rubbing his head when he’s dishing out the ht team talk

Said as soon as we missed the chance for the 3rd that County will take there next chance and get back into it..
Like we have seen this film before.

Despite the score, I thought that was a great first half of football.
Wish we had a winger that could put those sort of crosses in. Rose would fill his boots. I’m not happy about the score but as a game of football, that was very good for this division.

Tiktok Toby needs replacing this transfer window, he literally cannot defend.

Only team winning in Lg 2 at HT is Bradford

I'm afraid we need to be 7-0 up in any game before we can relax !

Is this one of the worst defences we've ever had ?

Mullarkey, enough said. Cannot defend. Glennon also miles behind his man for their first. If we want to get to safety we need 2 new full backs.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Tiktok Toby needs replacing this transfer window, he literally cannot defend.

Wonder who we'll replace him with. Apparently we paid a fee for a new defender who's not even fit enough to play yet. Though we gave Crock Vernam a 3-year deal after paying a fee so it's probably par for the course of decisions we make to get players in.

Very entertaining half. Can't accuse Artells football of being boring.

That said its the same old issues. Can't defend and can't control a game adequately enough to run out comfortable winners.

First a little unfortunate, I think, but no excuse for Mullarkey letting their winger trot in behind him for their second.

They are wide open at the back and we should have buried them already, but we'll rue the missed opportunities. So many chances when a simple cross into the middle would have led to a chance for us, but it has been fluffed.

I've enjoyed the half, however. Amusing to watch their No. 15 (who has a great touch) not know what he should be doing when we stand off him instead of trying to press. A real tactical battle but I fear our defensively-weak full-backs might cost us.

Quoted from Kris2

Vernam's been good today

A half of a few missed opportunities really. Good chances for vernam and Clifton. Hitting the bar doesn’t help either.

Defensive frailties are what has become my bugbear with this team and not having a defender closing down the ball coming in for their second is criminal.

All that being said, what an amazing half of football

Tharme is fit, he signed after the deadline? and Charles has been one of our best players today? Smile mate, it might never happen.

Clearly Clifton missed a sitter but to suddenly make him the scapegoat for us then conceding two goals is bonkers and not being 6 up is bonkers.

Contrast their crosses into the box compared to ours. Totally different quality.

It's not all doom and gloom though. We are showing good signs of progress in our play, but the defending is letting us down.

County dodgy at the back, but quality going forward.

Fundamental question is do we want points or entertainment? Not many people rave about 4-3 defeats.

We've conceded 8 goals in the last 97 minutes of home football. Madness

For the second goal, Langstaff had two defenders within a few feet of him, one in front and one behind, neither of who got anywhere near him or the ball.

Quoted from ginnywings

Have the crosses been good or has the defending by us bad?

We’ve played some quality balls in, but, there always seems a notts county player getting to it. 3/13 (town) and 3/4 (notts) successful crosses probably says as much as does the 0 (town) and 17 (notts) clearances made

Quoted from cardiffmariner

He should have scored he didn’t , I don’t blame him for the 2 goals but the fact is he missed a sitter which kills them probs. Everyone is accountable even harry  

Both Rodgers and Mullarkey drift out of position too easily.

50% shite to be accurate - offensively we have been very effective.

Clifton proves us wrong, 3 2 up

One harry clifton one harry Clifton

I'm happy to be proven wrong when it means we take the lead again.

Excellent finish from Clifton.

See how much that meant to Harry.  Redeemed himself.

Good chance, good finish. Get in!

Hope we see the game out after that smug little pr!ck Crowley shushing all the Ponny fans..

Well pleased Harry got his goal.

FFS

Oh look a 3rd almost identical goal from County

We need a whole new defence.

They pinpoint a cross and score, again. 3  3

On a side note, what a save by Cartwright before

4-3
A classic on our hands
Can we match that Burnley game?

4-3 Eisas. DEFEND NOW, PARK THE BUS, STOP THE CROSS

They have scored 3 almost identical goals.

4-3 town  ;D

Eisa!!!! 4-3

Eisa again and we're winning

Get the flobie whatsits in

Defensive masterclass this

Nice one Eisa!  Thought it was over.

Just didn’t stop the cross . Awful awful awful . We will go down under artell . It’s naive , it’s week and it’s football suicide

Neither team can defend at all  ;D

It's the Wrexham game all over again

Quoted from Plankton

4-3 Eisas. DEFEND NOW, PARK THE BUS, STOP THE CROSS

I honestly don’t think we are capable of that - need to score another if we’re going to win this.

7 goals only will do for a second game on the trott at BP  ;)

Finish Mo! This is mad

We've got to stop inviting the cross.

Have we tried stopping them crossing the ball?

Bonkers.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED

Quoted from It Bites

Just didn’t stop the cross . Awful awful awful . We will go down under artell . It’s naive , it’s week and it’s football suicide

Quoted from Mayaman

And vernams.

Apart from the back 4, I don’t think it can be said that any player has had a below par game.

How's Cartwright got away with that clanger

Quoted from It Bites

I give up . It’s a mental game of football . It makes big Ange at Spurs look normal

haha

Are these the two worst defences in the league ? Its like watching the Keystone Cops !!!!!!!!

Cant say we have'nt had our monies worth today  ;D

Shades of 6-5 Burnley this

Any chance of stopping them crosses?

THEY'VE SCORED THE SAME GOAL FOUR flipping TIMES

Another excrement show at the back.

Same cross, same flipping goal, FFS!

Same again 4  4

Ffs again!

Agreed. hard to pick a MOTM.  Eisa maybe.  His tracking back has been better. That said about the defence, Malarky has been OK going forward and Maher's touch for the first goal got it back into the danger area

ffs

We just can’t defend

you just know Notts County are going to win in the end

5 players running back and only one near their players . Just pathetic defending.

Between the 38th minute of our previous game and the 81st minute today we've conceded TEN GOALS, in the space of just over three halves of play. These defenders don't deserve their wages they're a disgrace.

WE'VE STOPPED A CROSS.

Kieran Green just isn't good enough at all.. he's awful

Feels like a defeat should of won this with ease shocking really to only get a point

Mullarkey wants belting after this game in the changing room. Every single goal down his side same cross.

4-5 county

absolutely appalling

flipping hell!!

excrement what bloody awful defending 4  5

Subs have killed the game, Donny Wilson and Kieran Green have done intercourse all.

Ffs

F*CK OFF TOWN!

In the lead 4 times ffs

11 goals shipped in the last 2 games. Notts must be playing well because Crofty on commentary is wanking over them

Harvey Rodgers is flipping conference north standard. His agent has had Hurst's pants down giving him a three year deal. Absolute flipping waste of a player

11 goals in two games...

Going down

Absolutely inevitable I'm afraid.  :o

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Speechless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5-5

Get in

5-5 hold on now

1st touch on his debut thats how you make an entrance

First touch and WOOD scores a screamer 5 5

Absolutely pathetic again . We are talking Bignot here . Artell is the wrong man to get us out of trouble . We should be grinding out results but here we are shipping 11 goals in 2 home games . I’m not being dramatic I’m been honest

What a finish Harry Wood, celebration even better.

Bonkers

How not to defend, by Grimsby Town and Notts County.

WHat a mad game.  Top finish from Wood.

5-5 FT

Shocking defending from both sides.

DA on the pitch already bollocking maher

I wish I'd been there to watch that. A draw against one of the promotion favourites and attacking at will. But we should have had it won, and eleven goals conceded in two home games is shocking.

Bonkers

Still, scunny lost eh

Lets just say Football won today.

Tiktok Toby and Harvey Rodgers absolutely awful today. Hope to see Doug line up with Maher next game and maybe hope to see a new right-back this window.

Unbelievable game of football, could have gone either way.

Are you not entertained?

A point against a team in the play offs is certainly something to be happy about in our current predicament.

I thought we'd get beat today, so a point is a bonus for me. Extremely worrying defending.

11 goals conceded in two home games is not just disappointing, not just unacceptable, not just pathetic, it’s actually shameful and ridiculous. I think we need a few more defenders in the window because quite frankly we do not have a defence worthy of the name right now.

Quoted from BrMarin

I thought we'd get beat today, so a point is a bonus for me. Extremely worrying defending.

The quality of the balls going in were difficult to deal with in a 1v1 situation.

You just can't please some people.

Draw 0-0 against one of the top teams and we would have been pleased to be bored for 98 mins.

Draw 5-5 and moan bloody moan.

That's entertainment folks !!!!!!

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Still, scunny lost eh

And the vegans lost.

Absolute mental but hugely enjoyable game of football!  :D
I would have been so angry if we'd lost that game though.
Well done to the referee who I thought was brilliant in letting the game flow as much as humanly possible.

I’m really not convinced DA is the real deal . There’s no way we should be conceding 11 goals in 2 home games . He looks an absolute loon in his interviews. Ive got a bad feeling about this bloke  .

I would rather watch 5-5 than 0-0 or 1-1, but our defence is shocking 4 almost identical goals against. What a debut for Wood(s) though

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

I’m really not convinced DA is the real deal . There’s no way we should be conceding 11 goals in 2 home games . He looks an absolute loon in his interviews. Ive got a bad feeling about this bloke  .

Quoted from GtfcGarner

Well you can't say it wasn't entertaining can you.

Some nice football, some great goals scored and a ref who let the players get on with it.

Still conceding the same old goals, unmarked players in the box who've just casually escaped their markers.

Quoted from Bristol Mariner

Don't watch then, go see Scunny

Why would I do that ?

Agree ref DA
11 goals at home in last 2 is unacceptable
We need points and new defenders
Come on Town!!

Yes but at the other end we had more shots in one game then we would have in 6 when Hurst was here never mind scored

I think that game summed up what it’s like to be a town fan 🤣🤣

We got our first away win of the season and got a clean sheet in doing, we actually have an identity about us in the way we want to play. It's far from perfect right now but he's been in charge 5 weeks with a squad he didn't build. The defense is a huge issue but to say you can't see it working when we're much more fluid going forward and the way we break teams down is a bit naive.

Notts County had 19 shots. Walsall had 18 last game. We had 22 though today!

One of those players who didn't really do much in the game - apart from curl some lovely crosses into our box. Some very poor defending from those crosses and the usually reliable Cartwright made a complete balls up of one of them as well.

At the other end, in similar or even better positions, we kept hitting the defender or putting it too close to the keeper. The match stats are a bit misleading because they don't show just how many gilt-edged chances we fluffed, scuffing a shot or a cross instead of just rolling it to an unmarked player for an easy chance.

I bet Artell is really frustrated not to win that one.

I am even more peeved that I was last night.

I was really looking forward to the game today against Notts County - a 'proper' game unlike Sutton, Crawley etc.

However when I went to book a train ticket last night I found there are no trains from Kings Cross to Peterborough.

I thought I could drive to Peterborough (over two hours) and get a train from there. But then found part of the journey to Doncaster would be on a bus to Granthan - grrr! I do not fancy driving all the way to Cleethorpes or Doncaster so I was at home.

With the game finishing so late I would have been in two minds whether to miss the 5.24 train back to Surrey or watch the last 10 minutes. If I had missed the train I would not have been home until 22.30. As I was not able to get there I did not have to make that decision.

What a game to miss.

Looking forward to the Tranmere game, LNER and TransPennine Express permitting

I think we need a more experienced keeper, Cartwright is decent but I don't think it's fair to the lad to have as much pressure on him at his age

We said the same about our crossing...particularly Mullarkey who did some good stuff to get in position to cross but then it petered out.
Eisa could have had four or five BUT at least we are creating the chances.

I remain very unimpressed with Glennon's set pieces, it must be said. I know we're not the biggest team, but they were smaller and we didn't really the threaten from any of them.

I suspect Wood will be the one who takes them on when he gets into the team.

Build from the back, free flowing attacking football. Artell has been here 5 weeks and we can carve teams open and create chances for fun. We used to bemoan the lack of entertainment and that we couldn't create chances, now we can. It's now Artells job to fix the other end. Like you said, Salford are shite and we beat them 3-0, FGR and Sutton are even worse. We won't go down. This season is about implementing a philosophy and a style at the club for him to work on. He's signed his first 3 players yesterday, one of them stuck a worldie in the top corner to rescue us a point today. We've had two different styles this season and the defence has been useless playing both... If they can't adapt, they'll be out the door either this month or the summer and he'll have replacements in. Judge him in 12 months, not after 5 weeks, which btw there's been a lot more positive than negative.

Salford beat Crawley away. Not a good sign.

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

I remember him being quality when Coventry beat us 0–2 quite a few years ago when they were in League Two.

Yeah remember that game I think it was the game where Nathan Clarke went to go pass it back to McKeown and hilariously under-hit it and their striker (McNulty I think) tapped it past him.

So the fact that we play good football and score lots of goals doesn't please you?  DA is doing his best and has improved the football at BP no end.  Unfortunately he has inherited a defence that he didn't buy who are constantly leaking goals.

These comments you've made a few times about him rubbing his head during interviews is really coming across quite weird.

So what if he rubs his head while he's being filmed doing an interview? Seems a bit of an unnecessary personal jibe.

Who cares if Artell is not 100% confident infront of the camera and has some nervous mannerisms,  I couldn't care less. I just want him to succeed.

What I am more concerned with; can DA continue to play expansive attacking football as well as making us more formidable at the back ? - and if he can't? -  Is he willing to compromise ??

I was very entertained today. We played some great stuff, as did notts. 2 good football teams that are woeful at the back.

Very pleased for wood.

What I am more concerned with; can DA continue to play expansive attacking football as well as making us more formidable at the back ? - and if he can't? -  Is he willing to compromise ??

I was very entertained today. We played some great stuff, as did notts. 2 good football teams that are woeful at the back.

Very pleased for wood.

So am I at my age.

Quoted from GTFCNiles

Unbelievable game of football, could have gone either way.

Are you not entertained?

A point against a team in the play offs is certainly something to be happy about in our current predicament.

Well there were four of us walking away from the ground and everyone of us were just thrilled to have been lucky endotoxins have witnessed one of the most enjoyable games of football at BP for many a year. Straight from the game me and the lad went to watch “ All town are we” and the parallels with the Wrexham game were quickly very apparent and whilst we should have won sometimes football is to be enjoyed and today was one of those days with the referee excellent in allowing the game to flow.

I accept defensively we again had problems but let’s not forget that in Jones, McGoldrick and Bostwick they have three of the most gifted footballers playing in L2 this season. Jones was excellent in the game at County and the same today a bloody nightmare and the quality of his crosses were just those of a player from a higher level. We must strengthen our defence, thought Efete should have definitely come on after their third, but if we attack like that and just add a bit more quality to our crossing and finishing we will be winning sufficient games to get away from the relegation zone.

Anyone solely blaming Mullarkey today has never played footy .Especially at right or left back .Sometimes wide players are so could it's difficult to stop them getting the cross in .When that happens you either have to double up and try to stop the cross or deal with it when it comes in .Today we did neither .But it was collective failure rather than one .Sometimes a player is just better than you

It’s really difficult to stop them getting crosses in if you never actually attempt to close them down. Or if you stupidly run forward for no reason leaving a massive gap to exploit

Problem with Mullarkey though is that it happens every week. It’s not the odd game where he lets the side down, it’s actually the norm.

I do think there was a lot of misfortune for the first goal (though Mullarkey should have been more circumspect with his run), but no excuse for the second where he let the winger run in behind him so he had absolutely no chance of stopping the cross when he received the ball. Rank bad defending, that one.

Quoted from Maringer

I know we're not the biggest team, but they were smaller

Just to say they weren't smaller, they had at least 6 players bigger than ours. I sit in the main stand and always notice when the two teams line up pre-kick-off that nearly every team has bigger players - not just taller but in overall physique as well.

Quoted from Tommy

These comments you've made a few times about him rubbing his head during interviews is really coming across quite weird.

So what if he rubs his head while he's being filmed doing an interview? Seems a bit of an unnecessary personal jibe.

Also today, never rubbed his head once, only once rubbed his nose, but as the above poster said, so what!

Norseman would agree with you however every winger is better than our full backs we never stop the crosses coming in.

Mullarkey is a liability, ok if a one off but it happens week in week out.

We all love to see a good fast winger. Unless he playes for the other side.. Then we have crap full backs    :-/

Fine lines in football..

Finish that chance to go 3 up instead of hitting the bar and I think that was the game. Huge moment. At the time Town warranted that 3-0 lead, had given Notts C a sniff, we’re winning the battles all over the pitch and doubt anyone would’ve argued Town were playing very, very well.

Of course then the game changes with conceding, and we know the fragility in our lads at the minute - plus the quality offensively of Notts C, and the effort/energy we were putting in is hard to sustain. Going in level at h/t absolutely  gutting for us, the opposite for them. Tbh I feared we’d get put away second half..but credit to our lads for digging in, not rolling over and getting back in front. Very strange game, too and fro’s, some very good players on show, good offensive play mixed with comical/diabolical defending. Both sides. When we went 5-4 down I think most would’ve thought that was that. And a defeat would’ve been hard to take, don’t think we deserved to lose - and a brilliant 1st touch from Wood got us a point. Both sides would’ve felt both sides of the story..could’ve/would’ve/should’ve won….would’ve/could’ve lost.

If you were there as a neutral it would’ve been a fantastic game to have watched..if you were a supporter of either side it highlighted both strengths and weaknesses already know.

Personally I think we should view it as a step forward, some promise, and given In sure a tremendously difficult week for everyone in and around the club - it was a great effort collectively, and a fitting tribute.

Speaking of..what a fantastic tribute ..by both sets of fans it should be said..👏
