Match Thread

Sounds like there's 33 peple there

GOAL!!!

Yes get in. Hopefully we go for the kill.

That was quick. UTM.

GET IN ROSS!!!!!!

We'll have to start a match thread 30 seconds after kick off more often!

'Kin 'ell.

Hadn't even sat down to listen and we score.

Just tuned in online and a goal already. Is that the fastest goal for Town so far this season?

Must be. Cambridge already 1 down too.

Anyone got any team news....missed the kick off but it seems Hannah is definitely playing  

Scunny losing as well

Jones and Colbeck start ahead of Neilson and Rodman from last game. Otherwise, as you were.

Thanks Ginny!

Speaking of 1st minute goals, Stokes goaly scored from one side of the pitch to the other lol.

Hannah and Hearn up top. Cook goes off with groin injury.

We now get to see if Hearn and Hannah can play alongside one another.

A lot of people have been asking to see this combination. Now is our chance.

1-1

We've just given them a goal!

Quoted from cjbill

I was just about to say the same but the action went on at the other end with us conceding

Didn't we just know that they would break their goal drought against us. flipping comical defending.

Well done Pearson and McKeown, great stuff there

Wokings first goal in over 7 hours of football........ !

Quoted from ginnywings

Didn't we just know that they would break their goal drought against us. flipping comical defending.

We most certainly did.

Is this the first time Hannah and Hearn have ever been on the pitch together?

Question why did McKweon not put it over the stand if he was so out of his goal

Just the latest drab game with little of footballing quality where we fail to hold the initiative. I can barely hold my interest in listening to it, how can the team from last year have slid so far backwards, it's so predictable and unexciting.

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Question why did McKweon not put it over the stand if he was so out of his goal

JT said McKeown sliced his clearance....disappointing to say the least given our start and their recent form

Isn't Betsy one of those players who always seems to like playing against us too?

Boring first half, we should be better than this

Feel the same way. Missed the last 2 home games and even the Scunny match hasn't whet my appetite enough to want to go back.

We need new management and ideas.

3-1 to us ft ladies and gents.

McKeown often slices his clearances and goal-kicks. Nothing new then.

Worryingly this seems to be quite a widespread feeling at present. We are playing in the same style as our manager and it is hard work to enjoy it. Not sure that changing the manager is right just yet but it does feel like he's a caretaker manager at present. He needs to present a more positive attitude and hopefully that will feed through into the performances. I said before that the Scunny match may be make-or-break for him which is daft when we are sat handily in this division. But the football is pretty poor and that will eventually feed through into the results. I don't see him lasting the season unfortunately.

Problem with Hurst is he's not a brave manager. The guy just seems to ooze pessimism, last nights 'battle cry' for the next days game is some gumph about how Woking are in a false league position...ok, it's false, let's put them mid-table where apparently they 'should' be. We're still way above that position and knocking on the play-offs door. He's dull and most certainly in my eyes not a winner.

A win today will only paper over the cracks regarding management IMO

Listening on Radio Surrey it sounds a bit grim... Defending well, Thomas blocking what sounded like a certain goal a few minutes ago...  But constant pressure from Woking.
Great to hear the Town fans though; don't know how many are there but they are making the most noise.
Come on Town!!!

Quoted from Garth

We'll be lucky!

4 out of the top 5 currently not picking up maximum points - this is a great opportunity to push ourselves up there...

I feel as a town fan as every single day goes by a little of my passion and actually the reasoning for me giving a toss about us seems to drain from me..

we are what I would call boring right through from the manager to the toilets.

the thought of colbeck and hatton making the team each week bores the excrement out of me.

boring girl privates.

Winfarrah coming on....this will make or break the kid

Well glad I decided not to go. It has sounded flipping excrement! Hopefully we can nick a goal late.

Sounds poor again!  I can see us being in this league for a very long time.

until we get new ideas and maybe a manager who can motivate the team then yes mate im afraid so.

Wow!! 2-1

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

Dizzzzzzzzzaaaaaaa!!!!!!

I'll take it but I was just thinking...if either team grab a late one it will be a little unjust.

YES!!!!!! COME ON

PHEW thank fook for that!

still bore the excrement out of me haha  

GET IN

Is that 2 shots on target and 2 goals?

Hurst for England!--------------

Thank intercourse for that

Quoted from RoboCod

Winfarrah coming on....this will make or break the kid

Make or break , really !

First minute and last minute. We don't half make it stressful. Well done young Caine.

Well done Mr Winfarrah BTW.

First touch in a Town shirt creates a winning goal.

3 points, left it bloody late though.

Quoted from highcliff mariner

Make or break , really !

Great stuff for him, first touch in pro football to get the winner!

Erm, to SET UP the winner is what I meant.

Quoted from ginnywings

Well done Mr Winfarrah BTW.

Inspired substitution by Hurst

Caine Winfarrah. Remember the name.

I always knew we would nick it.  hehehe

Poor Hyde....93rd minute winner, then pegged back by 94th minute goal from Nuneaton!

Get in there town buzzing told you we would win

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

3-1 to us ft ladies and gents.

Miles out  

Good teams grind out results. Today we did that, just. Roll on the Scunts, UTM

Winfarrah brought on 10 mins later than he should of been. He couldn't have been worse than the rest of our midfield

Credit to 9 man Tamworth, held Braintree to 0-0 and stopped them going ahead of us in the table. Meanwhile Lincoln continue their annual journey to relegation scrap/nothingness.

Great win! We've not been getting last minute winners enough over the years, it's usually been the side we've been playing!

How did Cambridge do?

It is funny coming on here late and reading all the posts in one go,

It goes from brilliant, rubbish, rubbish, brilliant ,

Lost 1.0 at Southport!

I'd sum it up as brilliant result, awful, awful game. Can see us coming unstuck the lower placed teams with displays like that.

Still, let the whole "This win could now see us kick on" reports begin !

Quoted from grimsby pete

Disagree Pete. Hurst says the same - that everyone thinks we're brilliant when we win. But in reality we all just breathe a sigh of relief and move on to the next game. It's great to win and keep us up there but they need to do well next week against Scunny for the crowd to really get behind the manager and players. Unfortunately a win away at Woking should be a foregone conclusion to many supporters - and there lies Hurst's problem.

Can't go wrong with "win" and Farrah" in his name.  

We have made ground on Cambridge and others.  Even if we were fortunate today.

It my fault for suggesting this week that Disley and Kerr are too old and slow to support the strikers (and by implication, score themselves).

As much as I like Paul I tend to agree. He'd make a great assistant to a Mills, Burr, Mellon etc etc IMO. Cant see Fenty getting rid with us sitting 4th in the league though.

Jeez imagine the vibe on here if we were in the bottom half of the table! We won with a makeshift midfield, it's not really surprising we were lacking fluency.

UTM

Jones, Disley, Kerr a makeshift midfield ?? Fluency ??

I think he meant it more in the sense that we were missing our best 2 wingers and McLaughlin, so it was never going to be a particularly balanced or creative performance as nearly all our creative players are injured atm!

Quoted from RoboCod

Winfarrah coming on....this will make or break the kid

In his first game? Make or break? What you being sniffing?

Quoted from brad_gtfc

In his first game? Make or break? What you being sniffing?

Nothing sniffed, more like memories of Mansaram, Nimmo(?) and others, thrown into the fray. Giving him a few minutes at the end is much more responsible management though , to be fair.

Indeed, thank you Tom13.
