Same line-up but artus replaces niven

UTMM!!!

Come on town  ;D

come on Town

Mmmmaaaarrrrrrrriiiinnnnnnerrrrrrrssssssss!

Big game for Frankie, he hails from the other side of the river i think so will be up this hopefully, he is more suited to a central role and his finer ball skills may just click with Neilson and Hannah........should it go wrong today though he will no doubt be looked at for not doing what Niven does.

Just watched a few of their match videos and they really dont look too clever at the back.

UTM

COME ON TOWN! WE CAN BEAT THEM! UP THE MARINERS!

I think Disley can do what Niven does, just that he's less physical.

Agree Disley can fill in the holding role today and let artus have more time on the ball hopefully. Come on Hannah make it 3 in 3 my son.

Quoted from CatchOfTheDay

Same line-up but artus replaces niven

UTMM!!!

I disagree with this.

We need someone strong to win the ball, that isn't Artus. An Artus / Disley partnership is too physically weak. I believe it will cost us the game. I just don't see us retaining the ball away at the leaders with Artus in the side. I hope people are quoting this text at 5pm and making me look like a mug as I hope I'm wrong.

I would have pushed Pond into CM, brought either Ford or more likely Miller in at centre back. Big call from the managers.

commentary down on the OS and bbc radio humberside telling me to download a new flashplayer that wont download properly :(:(

would have put thanoj there tbh but like you said hope it makes no difference what so ever

scrap that done now!

luton 1-0

Come on Cook !

barrow 1-0 down and ten men already

Hannah goes close

C,Mon Town, Seems pretty even at the minute, Crowd sounds lively. :)

I think Soares is playing for Ebbsfleet but BBC & Sky Sports seem to have changed his name to Foares

BBC showed us with 62% possession after 14 mins.

think i just excrement myself ....

fs, we need to calm down slightly, well done pond, goal line clearance

we are struggling here..

Sounds like our defense is more exposed without Niven in the team

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

BBC showed us with 62% possession after 14 mins.

Doesn't sound like it on the wireless!

Lets hope we can nick a goal second half.

Half time 0.0

Sounds like we need to wake up

Not bad but not great. I agree the defence will be missing Niven however, we do have a fantastic squad, Hannah went close but Cook doesn't seem up to much today, i think this is the sort of game Elding would relish, also think his experience, composure and hold up play would work well with Hannah. But we'll see.

Up against it here, but to be expected. Playing the team at the top at home...need to adjust things a little and get that counter attack going. A point right now would do for me though.

Pretty much par for the course away from home. No shots on target.

We really don't know how to pose a threat away from BP, which is why we draw so many.

Yeah would be pleased with a point here

sounds like there is a lot of pressure, very loud crowd, can hardly hear the commentary, we need to settle abit

anyone got a link to the game pls

just to weak in the middle without Niven, push pond up into midfield and bring miller on

I would take a point right now.

Colbeck comes close

Grimsby creating more

We're great on the counter attack. Should nick at least one goal.

I'll settle for a clean sheet right now !! We could nick this

Just seen liam hearn in town, he hasnt got crutches but he is limping badly

Grimsby look much better, Colbeck looking dangerous every time he gets the ball, i think we could steal a late one here.

Lets hope so, Last season we would of lost this, We seem to be well in this, We are not an easy team to beat.

Seem to have gone from "concerns at the back" to optimism that we could sneak a goal.

Have they said how many Town fans there ?

Yer i completely agree, and all this attacking that is to no avail by Newport zaps engery. Let's hope Grimsby's fitness levels show late on.

How many at the game ??? Many Town

Excellent. That's a long haul, hope they come home with something.

Fantastic turnout! Well done all tht travelled, lets hope you come back with 3 points :)

Come on Elding earn your spot.

Disley comes close, Elding on for Cook

Disley just over. Home crowd went really quiet then.

'Looks like newport have gone to 3 defenders' could benefit colbeck+Neilson

Elding for Cook...substitution 70 odd minutes too late

Brilliant support by the Mariners fans yet again,Newport is a long trek, Well done to all who travelled. :)

Newport hit the post

Newport hit post. :o

I think i just excrement myself.

anyone else noticed Newport have sung the same song all match, come to think of it it's not even a song

*tune

Thanoj and Southwell FOR Hannah and Neilson, why???

Quoted from GyMariner

Thanoj and Southwell FOR Hannah and Neilson, why???

Fitness I would imagine

i really hope thanoj can prove himself

OMG!!! southwell denied twice

Jeez southwell just missed.  :o :o :o

Late pressure from grimsby, cmmon town!

I will tell you what, I bet Newport won't be looking forward to coming to Blundell Park,Both teams have had chances,Newport have a good home record too, We have improved massively and are always a threat now as well as defending very well.

Free kick deep inside newport half

Stop giving set pieces to Artus !!!

3minutes extra time

Neilson tired apparently.  Getting fitter though with each game.  

Maybe give Southwell more time as he offers something different to defenders.

Take an away point and maintaining our unbeaten away record.

FT 0-0

Yeah!! Well done Town!  :)

More Town fans at Newport than there was Peterborough fans at Hull.

I'd have taken that at KO :)

Good point for town.

What a great 0-0 draw. Chances for both sides. Reminded me of the old promotion days under Buckley when we'd not only grind out draws but give it a real go. Really pleased with that, we have something building up at this club finally.

Will definitely take that. Both sides had chances to win it in the second half so a draw was probably fair.

September looked a very difficult month on paper and we've come through it undefeated and in the Play-Off positions. Good stuff.

will take that, good result.

0-0. Not a bad result and it sounds like Southwell went close there at the end so we maybe could have won it. September unbeaten. I would have taken that at the beginning of the month.

Well done town, shame we couldn't get a win but hey a point will do nicely and we are still in the play-offs. bring on the Dartford! UTM!  :)

Quoted from RoboCod

Stop giving set pieces to Artus !!!

Totally agree with you Robo.

Decent resut, only the second team to come away from there with a clean sheet this season.

Agreed good point, given there millionaire investment, stadium, new squad, current form and large home crowd, we played very well, defended brilliantely and could have stolen it 3 or 4 times. UTM. Roll on a long streak of easily winable games.

Our league position will reflect the fact that by next Sat we will have played all the other 5 teams in the top 6. This makes our good league position even more commendable.

a Good point, yes southwell didn't score towards the end, put they hit the post and the bar, so count ourseleves lucky! good performance

When's that streak of 'easily winnable games' start? I haven't spotted it. (blink2)

Quoted from chaos33

Bloody Artus wasted that great opportunity!

Actually, don't think we are still in the play off positions despite our good result. Luton and Dartford both won and both go above us - down to 6th I think.

We're 5th, but Macclesfield have a game in hand, which would take them above us if they won it.

you say this, but we normally struggle against the lower teams, hopefully we can change this and get a good win streak going! UTM

Very decent point, i hate saying things like this but i can see us going unbeaten in October and November as well.

What because we drew against a team at the top some are now in doubt? WTF?

I ain't in doubt, I believe we'll work our way to the top soon, I ain't worried about any team, I actually look forward to match days because we can beat anyone and not just anyone can beat us as we have proven, WE ARE HARD TO BEAT! FACT!! So get a grip! Onwards and upwards, UTM!

flipping well said mate, we'll be up there this season, without a doubt.

What's going on with the conference scores? BBC and Livescore and Bluesquarepremier have different reults to each other. For instance, Bluesquare have Dartford winning 2-1, BBC have lose 1-0. BBC have Luton as winning 1-0, Livescore had 3-1 with a Rendall hatrick???

In fact, loads of the results on bbcsportfootball are wrong across the divisions. Has anyone else noticed this? Livescore.com has lots and lots of differences. Don't know who's won and who hasn't?
For instance - read the Luton v Southport report - the final score says 1-1, but the report mentions 3 Luton goals??

Same with the premier league, says liverpool won 2-0, but when you read the report Suarez scored a hat-trick and they won 5-2. Bizarre

Press association went down at half time. SSN had Queen of the South down as 6-1 home losers when in fact they won 1-0!

They are rubbish,

It stills says 0-0 at Newport v Grimsby

If you go on teletext they have the right results on.

Ok guys just got in and to be fair thought a draw was a fair result, Nice to meet a few of you guys in the Ivy Bush before the game and had a good chat asked one guy had a good trip "yes not bad from Kardiff! " lol

We're 5th, but Macclesfield have a game in hand, which would take them above us if they won it.

No, we are actually 6th and out of the play-off positions (temporarily of course). Dartford and Luton both won and are now 4th and 5th.

How are we 3 points behind Dartford? They was on 19 + 3 = 22, we was on 20 + 1 = 21.  ;)

5th Dartford - 22
6th Grimsby- 21

We'll be back in the playoffs next saturday;)

That table is copulated up.

This one's the same and looks wrong too:

Shouldn't Luton be on 23 and Dartford on 22?
