Subs  Eastwood, Maher, Holohan, Vernam, Obikwo, Wilson Braithwaite

I assume it'll be Clifton wide right, possibly to protect Mullarkey some what? Thought Vernam was good against County. Very attack minded bench.

Mullarkey starts so that’s at least two goals against.

First time under Artell that I’ve been a little confused by the line up. Rodgers ahead of Maher feels bizarre, as does benching Vernam.

You never know if they’re both not fully fit mind

Think maybe with the possibility that he wants to break that partnership up of Rodgers and Maher and at least Tharme and Rodgers have played together? I assume Clifton will be out wide with an eye on Connor Wood bombing on from left back and to help Mullarkey out

Neither have been great TBH so I’m not sure what the difference would be.

Artell needs to get n touch with Maidstone keeper .

Quoted from It Bites

Artell needs to get n touch with Maidstone keeper .

The keeper that scored for Torquay against Hartlepool in extra time before going out on penalties.

Two players? walked round pitch with Hunt. Are they out new signings? Who are they, are they sat with him in Main stand?

Quoted from Grantham_Mariner

Two players? walked round pitch with Hunt. Are they out new signings? Who are they, are they sat with him in Main stand?

Is Hunt injured? or out of favour?

Maher is the weak link he’s a liability

Unacceptable yet again from our streaming service, 2-3 times now something similar has happened

Yep same issue, had this multiple times now

Yep, I'm on monthly.

Like the look of Wood, wanting to get on the ball at every opportunity.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Donny losing 0-2 at home after 11 minutes, they're worse than us.

Playing Stockport isn't the easiest gig, though.

This is a poor game so far.

Very disjointed game, both side can't get a rhythm.
As much as I like Green he's having a nightmare at the moment

What on earth is Glennon and Rodgers doing

Glennon shite

Same old shiite

Glennon ffs . We’re going down

If forest green or Sutton get their act together, we could be in real trouble. By no means safe yet.

Glennon at fault for that goal, he's been poor at times and that showed. 0 - 1

Glennon!!!!! WTF. Weak as p**s.

Glennon is really poor

Glennon at fault for that goal, he's been poor at times and that showed. 0 - 1

Poor defending by Glennon.

So far this is pretty crap.

The game's not over yet!

1-1... Tharme on his debut

1-1

Think we need a Carlsberg pub in the Town.

Scrappy goal but we'll take it, get in.

Get in!

Goall and deserved as well to bring us back into the game. Tharme makes it's 1 - 1

Get in Dougy!

Ha, mention Carlsberg... and we score... it works

Awful fare this from both teams

Has Arteĺl reverted to Hurstball?

I was seeking a suitably descriptive word to sum up Town's first half performance, I decided on.................................uninspiring !

People have said that we require a RB, having watched Glennon again this afternoon I think we need to add a LB, he is a bloody liability !

Tough watch this. Don't really understand why Artell has picked a load of our more technically lacking players when he's trying to get us to play a possession based game. Interesting to see that apparently rugby tackling an opponent in the area doesn't warrant a penalty these days.

Tad fortunate to be level. Look like we've never played together before. Didn't get into their box until the 10th minute.

Hoping for a better showing second half.

I knew I shouldn't have watched a "On this day" clip on a Buckley team this morning. Could weep watching this rubbish. Look like a team of players that have only just met.

Awful first half, lucky to be 1-1. Such a poor side.

A low-quality game with none of the Town players performing particularly well. The ref isn't dealing with their pushes, pulls, elbows and blocking very well, but we need to play a hell of a lot better than this.

I'd haul Green off and bring Vernam on

Going to have to step up a gear second half . teams below us picking up points at half time . Anyone thinking we are safe needs there bumps felt

Sutton drawing FGR losing!

Need to get the ball into the feet of the midfielders.
A risk worth taking.
A big whole where Conteh was.

That was a pretty awful watch sadly lacking in most departments but at least we are still level at the break. Not much more to be said about that half.

Quoted from 123614

Sutton drawing FGR losing!  Oh and btw, you don't get any points at HT!

Quoted from denni266

We have more points than Salford, Colchester, Doncaster, Sutton and Forest Green.

just got back .  Needed to get out for mental health. Can anybody give me a quick summary of Town's performance?

You can tell this central defensive pairing got Accrington relegated last season

Ripped apart down the left this week... desperately need new full backs.

I really hope the rumours of a new left back are true. Teams constantly target that side, any kind of aerial ball and Glennon's useless.

God we awful and there's no words for Glennon.

We had a little bounce when hurst left . Now we actually look even worse . This is a huge worry now .

Glennon missed the challenge again

Defence, what defence 2 - 1 down and looking awful

Glennon lost his header urine poor

How many goals have we conceded from crosses into our box. This is amateur defending at its best.

Kieran Green might be one of the worst footballers i've seen at BP... he's utterly useless

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

We where better under the caretaker managers

This is incorrect, same points as Salford, Colchester and Doncaster.

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

Kieran Green might be one of the worst footballers i've seen at BP... he's utterly useless

More importantly this is the worse midfield collectively I have known for a long time.

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

Kieran Green might be one of the worst footballers i've seen at BP... he's utterly useless

Not been watching Town for 70 years   there been dozens

Think this game highlights why Conteh will be a huge miss. The only other midfielder who plays as a holding midfielder is Green and he’s a pretty poor footballer. This is particularly an issue if your manager wants to pass the ball through the thirds, Green is not capable of being the pivot.

We are in trouble this year
V Worried
Come on Town!

Utterly abysmal, we look like a relegation side to me.

Tharme subbed for Maher. Injury?

Looks well scrappy.

Our defence is utter rubbish, we can't defend, don't know how to mark an opponent, and can't pass. and no midfield.

Quoted from MaccasBoots

Tharme subbed for Maher. Injury?

Ham string according to Crofty

If either Mullarkey or Glennon require transport to attend an interview with their next employer..........................let me know, I'll give them a lift !

Very scrappy indeed

I'm not normally knèe jerk

But if we don't bring better in we are finished

We will go down again and the 350k from Conteh will be irrelevant

Just wondered about wood. Looking very tired. Would swap green for my nan (ok maybe Holohan) but I don’t think so far any player is playing above a 5 or 6/10

Should have stayed at the bar.  Freeflow for 8 quid

Dog excrement

Would rather we make some subs and go for it, if we go down by 4 after that then so be it but ffs Artell try to influence the game because this is excrement

There's a stale stench of relegation exuding from this amateurish and disjointed lot I'm afraid.

Quoted from DB

Ham string according to Crofty

Typical .. No waterfall to fall back on   and Cont goes and we replace him with Green   looking good aint it

Great defensive tackle by Glennon... to give them a goal kick.

Quoted from Wrights35

Playing loads better under DA and things are looking better….

Just sit quietly and nurse will be along shortly with your medication.

Not looking good for us   :(

There’s just no eagerness. It’s all lethargic like we’re defending a 2-0 lead

We are not good enough to play it out from the back.  

I’m just utterly bored of a poor football, poor footballers and I’m not wholly sold on Artell as our manager, it’s tedious, it’s dull, and it’s just more 4/10 football for us on offer.

You can't play the way Artell wants with the players he's selected today. Conteh, Hunt, Gnahoua and Khan could all do it (to an extent) because they're all relatively technically adept and have a decent first touch. Green, Clifton, Andrews, Rodgers, Mullarkey are all various shades of shite on the ball yet he's trying to get them to play like Man City in a side which leaks like a sieve at the back.

Since I came in, we don't look like scoring.

Quoted from Mayaman

Since I came in, we don't look like scoring.

Sweet talk the mrs then

Forest green Donny Sutton and us .. 2 of these are down and we’re seriously in that mix

The fact he hasn't subbed Green yet makes me question Artell.

Should be level

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Sweet talk the mrs then

Rubbing it in?  Had a barny last week and haven't spoken since.

Quoted from arryarryarry

Poor defending by Glennon.

So far this is pretty crap.

Awwwwwwww

Vernam has been our best player today and he's been on the pitch 5 minutes

Vernam has brought into some impetus.

Rose misses a sitter, about as good as it gets

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Forest green Donny Sutton and us .. 2 of these are down and we’re seriously in that mix

Fortunately, Forest Green and Sutton are so bad that even though we're utterly shite, we're pulling clear of them.

Salford beating Crewe

When you have experienced relegation so many times you get familiar feelings. I've started to get them again.

Genuine question, why do we never progress like other clubs?  

Quoted from GhostDan

Genuine question, why do we never progress like other clubs?  

Because we're excrement

Unless Artell has a couple of aces up his sleeve as the transfer window closes we are copulated because this squad is so lacking in quality we are undoubtedly doomed.

Quoted from GhostDan

Genuine question, why do we never progress like other clubs?  

Because we are 20 years behind most teams in terms of the ground and the state it was left it . As I’ve said loads of times a good season for us now is mid table lg2 . A bad one is what we’re witnessing this season sadly

We need to change the whole team before the window closes. We are poor.

I am not lifelong mariner but I have seen us relegated a few times and it's hard to not think the spectre or relegation is starting to loom a little large unless something miraculous happens. There's that feeling of just... desperation for a run of actual positive results or to see some improvement but it just isn't coming.

Bit depressed listening to this

My love life is a disaster.
My work is shite.
My social life is dull.
My football team is...

... and  I don't even have a dog!

Could be a busy week  next week. I think we need eight.

94th minute, losing 2-1 and Maher decides to just pull the keeper.... the lack of intelligence from these players is frightening

No composure at all.  

Artell's a clown for not even chucking Wilson on. He's the most likely player on the bench to pop up with a goal yet instead we've persisted with Clifton and Andrews falling over in midfield. What a flipping load of shite

2-1 full time.

Need a lot through the door imo. A centre half, a right back, a left back, a holding midfielder, and a striker. Will we manage that in the next few days? Almost certainly not

Absolutely dire performance 🤯

That was flipping awful. Relegation is staring us in the face yet again.

We were better under Pearson and Davies.

A centre back, right back, left back and a replacement for Conteh cause it sure as hell isn’t going to be Green. The lack of desire, physicality and just basic ability in this squad is frightening.

Better under caretakers and defensively

I hate football, until next week for more punishment.

Easy to blame the players on this one but I am fast coming to the conclusion that Artell talks a good game but the reality is becoming very different and started to seem clueless. Hope I'm wrong.

Hurst managed to win away in a league as bove us ---just saying

Quoted from MaccasBoots

2-1 full time.

Need a lot through the door imo. A centre half, a right back, a left back, a holding midfielder, and a striker. Will we manage that in the next few days? Almost certainly not

There's no money, so I doubt there will be much at all

Is there a player out there called Miracle because we need one right now. That was a dreadful performance in which we just didn’t have a clue how to break them down. Really disappointing.

I think crofty summed it up well at the end, the players are not good enough to play this system yet he continues to push it. Questions need asking. Luckily there’s a couple of other poor team in our league so we may get away with it

Said it after the Walsall game but Artell's reign is giving me Bignot vibes

I wish I had a men in black pen to wipe town out my head

I  just cannot believe we are staring at a third relegation to the NL, the thought of it makes me
feel physically sick, when will this constant torture ever end?

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

I think crofty summed it up well at the end, the players are not good enough to play this system yet he continues to push it. Questions need asking. Luckily there’s a couple of other poor team in our league so we may get away with it

They aren't good enough to play any system full stop, they got Hurst sacked. If they aren't good enough they'll be replaced

I’ve got to say Artell is not filling me with any confidence. I’ve not warmed to him at all

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

They aren't good enough to play any system full stop, they got Hurst sacked. If they aren't good enough they'll be replaced

The caretaker team got the best out of them. The guys that know them best. Stuck with them and we'd be a few points better off.

I am sick to death of Grimsby Town...   Its taken 68 years to say that and this is the worse team and set up i have ever encounted. They just don't get it and know very little about running a football club. A football club should be football first and foremost and should be built on pure passion. The rest dosent matter.

Quoted from Garth

Hurst managed to win away in a league as bove us ---just saying

With a clean sheet as well…not that he would have much influence on todays game.

4 goals conceded on our right last game, two goals from the left this time. Plug one hole and another appears. It’s all basics as well. Only plus is I thought Tharme looked very comfortable but a tweaked hammy could be a few games out.

Quoted from GrimRob

The caretaker team got the best out of them. The guys that know them best. Stuck with them and we'd be a few points better off.

100% agree with this, they was doing absolutely fine

Quoted from GrimRob

The caretaker team got the best out of them. The guys that know them best. Stuck with them and we'd be a few points better off.

I get that, but they also failed to beat Forest Green and Sutton? Short memory because we were awful in both them games. Whether we'd be better off sticking with them is conjecture, the players aren't good enough and that is a fact.

It's amazing how often you read people saying the game/team is the worst ever. Bad memories fade and the present always seems worse than it is. The Woods and Holloway teams have to be worse.

Quoted from Garth

Hurst managed to win away in a league as bove us ---just saying

Always said stick and support him.

It doesn't matter  who's team was/is the worst if the end result  at the seasons end is  the same!

That wasn't a team I just watched.
I didn't know what they were trying to do.
They didn't know what they were trying to do.
I'm worried about Mr. Artell?

Artell having a 'mare on Radio Humberside - sounds out of his depth

Its starting to feel like getting beat in  a game is just normal right now. Artell is not the man that will get us winning . Stupid playing out from the back  with 4 div players  and thats being kind to them. Replaces a center half with another that makes us play with a relagated pair at the back. we needed full backs  and a defencive midfielder to raplace the one we just lost. Either we have no money or he is blind. New owners that think nice eggs and glass pannels and a a expencive pint in a fanzone is more important than getting decent players in the door. If they thought they could run a football club without spending cash they should have stayed away.
