yes i know i am over 2 hours early but the team i would do today will be

Fleming
Hatton
Pearson
Miller
Wood
Marshall
niven
Thanoj
Devitt
Hannah
Brodie

Swap brodie and fleming with cook and macca we have the same team

Oh and dizza for niven

Oh and dizza for niven

Think we need Niven, they're a good (for conference south) attacking side.

Quoted from CatchOfTheDay

this

I'd probably go with rattray's team apart from I'd have macca. Could be a chance for Brodie to open his account. Don't know if Devitt will be fit to start, PH said something about him being 'nearly there' on mariners player.

just arrived in cloudy and cold welling

Quoted from Southernboy

just arrived in cloudy and cold welling

Heard any rumours about team news?

nope

Devitt is at least 2 to 3 weeks away from full match fitness and fortunately from the first look of him last week he is already match sharp.

going to the Guy Earl of warwick

Quoted from Southernboy

going to the Guy Earl of warwick

Don't get too drunk(chat) otherwise doddsy(lcop) will get his note book out

Can't go today unfortunately but I'll be listening on the radio. UTM :)

Decided I can only afford one game so no welling today but will be at Braintree instead.

Would like a nice big win today but will settle for a Hannah goal in a one/two nil win

Got off the bus at the wrong stop, so a couple of Desperdos in Wetherspoons before continuing the hike!

It's on Radio Humberside AM today and on line. Will have to dust my old radio down to get am.

Welling must be respected then only then can we hammered these barstewards lol

Any team news yet?

Quoted from Meza

Welling must be respected then only then can we hammered these barstewards lol

Looks like you are already hammered ;)

Devitt has to start today. I'm no expert but match fitness requires matches! I'd also pick 10 other players.

In the iterests of nurturing Devitt back to fitness I'd be looking to try for 45 minutes out of him, so would probably start him on the bench. Think Brodie and Hannah will start and Cook on the bench. Wouldn't change anyone else, especially the middle of midfield. Miller in for Pond takes care of itself. Would this be a time to bring some fringe players on to the bench and give them another chance by using them as subs? Soares? Southwell? Artus?

Start him, see how long he lasts, I'd like to say 60min but after last week I can't see it. Bring colbeck on, it will give Colbeck something to prove and hopefully friendly competion.

Welcome Back Hannah
UTM

Yeah fair enough. I was just thinking that the first 20/30 minutes could be fast and frantic and wondered if this was the best use of his energy - using it all up closing down, covering etc. Think it'd be better to bring him on at half time or for the last half hour. Also, to a point, it could be said that this would protect him slightly more from injury (or recurrance of injury) in a game that isn't as important as a league match. We wouldn't be looking for him to do too much too soon and it would probably also be kinder to Joe Colbeck.

Hannah, Brodie and Devitt all start

McKeown;

Hatton, S Pearson, Miller, Wood

Marshall, Disley, Niven, Devitt

Hannah, Brodie

Substitutes: Ford, Southwell, Thanoj, Cook, Colbeck

Brodie, Hannah and Devitt all start.

Colbeck and Cook the fall guys from last week !!

They're going for it!

Pond on the bench for Fleetwood.

Quoted from davmariner

Pond on the bench for Fleetwood.

Good!

Bench is Ford, Thanoj, Cook, Colbeck and Southwell. No Pearson, Artus or Soares.

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Hannah, Brodie and Devitt all start

McKeown;

Hatton, S Pearson, Miller, Wood

Marshall, Disley, Niven, Devitt

Hannah, Brodie

Substitutes: Ford, Southwell, Thanoj, Cook, Colbeck

that team, plus hearn to come back, can win us the league and fa trophy.

having, Thanoj, Cook on the bench is awesome, Greg Pearson, artus, soares all not even getting in the squad, what a great position we are in.

S&H Black and White Army

Quoted from davmariner

Pond on the bench for Fleetwood.

Hope all the best for him if he gets on, if he doesn't he should hand in a transfer request  :X :X

C,mon Town and please no inuries today.

Bench would also normally have Bradley Wood on it too when Thomas returns.  We have a very strong squad now.  Surprised to see Southwell on the bench instead of Pearson but I guess they can use Southwell on the wing as well up top.  Hope we dont take Welling too lightly, if not we may get turned over

Quoted from cmackenzie4

C,mon Town and please no inuries today.

Obviously we don't want an injury but if we do get somebody injured we have people who is more than good enough providing it isn't a bad injury

Quoted from GtfcGarner

Hope all the best for him if he gets on, if he doesn't he should hand in a transfer request  :X :X

If he gets on I hope he gives away a penalty, scores a couple of own goals and gets sent off!

For a second there I thought Tonduer called thier player 'Anthonys a Tampon'

town penalty!!

PENALTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

PENALTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Never mind the penno, lets keep going and fitness will hopefully tell.

UTM

Can someone get me the link please?

Hero to zero in 10 mins :P

Oops!

Shame about the pen, an early goal is what you want in this sort of game but it sounds like we're doing alright.

Who is this new guy Hannah, he sounds shite  ;D

Missed the start of the match only to hear Hannah miss it, first thing i'd like to say is doesnt that bench look so much stronger now, the differnce a few signings makes

Waste of money! SHOULD of started elds.  ;D

Quoted from Super Clive

Waste of money! SHOULD of started elds.  ;D

Everything is coming from Devitt, looks like he will be instrumental in our season

Nice one Devitt.  :)

I wonder who will take the penalty's on a regular basis now... lol (Confused)

I would of liked Brodie to have taken the first peno for town

Fleet 0 rock bottom Brizzle Roves 2 !!!

Think Pond might save the day :-/

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Game over

Get your coat

Kidderminster and Newport currently winning there league matches,not good for us :/

Whenever I feel confident, we always fail :(

Christ O'Connor scores again with a great finish for Newport.  At least we're looking brighter

Newport 2-0 !

Lincoln won't cope with Newport. I'd expect more  :-/

Quoted from mr b

Newport 2-0 !

Typical Lincoln raise their game for their big games (v us) this season and are then excrement.

Newport 3-0 open the floodgates !

Still dont think we'll score from open play listening, i dont think either side will to be fair

Lincoln are tossers

3-0 Newport, Wilmott.

FFS. Scunny 1-0 up too

Quoted from Codzilla

FFS. Scunny 1-0 up too

What a cr@p year this is turning into... ::)

Goal back for Gimps

Wrexham 4-0 up away from home in the cup...

4-1 to Newport

Lincoln pulled one back

Lincoln are better when playing away at bigger grounds such as ebbsfleet lol

Lincoln are shite and I hope they go down we can only control our matches lets just hope we win our games in hand

Gainsborough beating tamworth 2-0, would be great to get them away

Some get thier books out and tell me when was the last time there where 3 penos in a game (+in a half) in a game involving town. And whats the most number on penos in a game involving town?

Bit of a doddery, rambling commentary from JT today

Noticed that Gateshead game v Barrow has again been postponed. They should be fined heavily by the FA or the BSP because it's getting ridiculous now.

We have got loads of penalty takers in our starting line up

Hatton
Miller
Pearson
Disley
Devitt
brodie
Hannah

Penalty shoot out anybody ? ;D

C,mon town, let's get back to winning ways and turn these league draws into wins then we will be in control. Not really fussed about this fa trophy if I'm honest, League is massively important, its gonna be a rollercoaster ride to the run in by the looks of things,

I remember one game in the 89/90 season (I think it was against Colchester). We had 3 penalties in the first half. Gilbert missed the first and Cockerill scored the next two).

Quoted from aaron rattray

Bit of a doddery, rambling commentary from JT today

Said before we need someone who keeps up with the play

YES TOWN!

Pond on as a substitute at H/T for Fleetwood. They're currently 3-0 down to bottom of the league Bristol Rovers.

Att: 1,037 - tonyfordsmicrofro predicted this exact crowd! Mystic Meg!

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

People only b1tch about tondeur when we 're struggling on the pitch.

There isnt a town fan alive who has seen the mariners more than tondeur!

And Gainsboro 2-0 up against Tamworth. Wouldnt mind them next :P

Hereford thrown away 3-1 lead vs Alfreton. Now 3-3

Jonothan waltes has scored 2 owl goals for stoke lmfao!!!! he must have an accumulator on or something

All we can do is focus on winning our games and forget about everyone else!

Quoted from springstomind

Should have given him the pen for his hat-trick. Boo Lampard Boo  ;D

How many games off wembley are we?

We seem very flat, not creating much, just seem to be content.

A wins, a win as they say I guess

Quoted from springstomind

Jonothan waltes has scored 2 owl goals for stoke lmfao!!!! he must have an accumulator on or something

They were interviewing him on football focus today and afterwards Lawrenson waxing lyrical about how consistant and reliable he is ;D

Quoted from Rhys_Mariners

If we win, 3.

Quoted from davmariner

If we win, 4.

That many?

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

That many?

Sorry wrong key I meant to write 3.

Hows Hughes mason doing?

When is our next league game ?

Quoted from aaron rattray

Friday night v ebbsfleet on tv

Town need to get hold of the ball, maybe bring on Thanoj and pack the middle

Friday night v ebbsfleet on tv

Quoted from cmackenzie4

When is our next league game ?

Braintree next Friday I believe mate. It's on Premier Sports.

Braintree away next Friday night 1945, also televised on Premier Sports

Thanks lads,

That proves hes a big gtfc fan nothing more

How many bookings before a suspension?

Quoted from aaron rattray

Well how did huges mason do while playing?

Ok, lively but not overly dangerous. Seemed to fade a little.

Sounds like another excrement referee. 10 bookings in a game of no malicious challenges according to Tondeur.

I'm sure mckeowns bookings got cleared new year?

Quoted from chaos33

How many bookings before a suspension?

10 I think now but not sure when the deadline is. The 5 deadline was 31/12.

2-4 to Newport

GIMPS now losing 2-4
FGR 1-1

Will this now mean we are 3rd in the league if results stay the same ?

So chaps.mstuck at work. Final score?

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Will this now mean we are 3rd in the league if results stay the same ?

Yep although we'll have a game in hand over Wrexham and Newport.

Newport will be above us having played the same amount of games

Thanks dav, So we need a good result friday then mate.

I bet john walters wants the ground to swallow him up.  2 own goals and a missed penalty.  you've got to be gutted with that!

Quoted from davmariner

Yep although we'll have a game in hand over Wrexham and Newport.

Wrexham, not Newport.  All very very tight, not just for top spot but play off spot also.

Cook has sounded as though he has a point to prove since he came on, a bit of hunger that Brodie didn't sound to have.  UTM

Great win, back to winning ways.

Sounded like good support from the travelling Mariners, well done to all!

UTM

And breathe :)

Back to winning ways, scored two despite Hannah and Brodie having an off day and beaten a form team.

Nice one

Good win

Thats 12 unbeaten in all comps

FGR draw.

Gainsborough away in the next round please, UTM

Good result against an in-form side and JT didn't make us sound dreadful so we must have done reasonably well. I await the Just Back thread.

anyone know when the draw is?

Town win and FGR held to draw vs second bottom Nuneaton.  Not a bad days work. Pity the Imps couldn't achieve a result at home to Newport but we can still go back top if we win on Friday nite and in to final 8 of the trophy. Double still in our sights. utm

Some other cup results: Gainborough won 2-1, Luton won 2-0, Wrexham won 5-0.

We're only 2 rounds away from Wemberrrley! Getting exciting now...

Lets hope we avoid Wrexham/Luton away and they get drawn against each other

Good win because that was a tricky tie. We probably would've lost that sort of game in previous seasons. Into the last eight now!

Poor ref. Welling weren't a bad side and could've taken us to a replay. Cook did well when he came on.

Quoted from caistormariner

anyone know when the draw is?

The last draw was made on a Monday, so that would be my guess.

Quoted from shotandcursed

People only b1tch about tondeur when we 're struggling on the pitch.

There isnt a town fan alive who has seen the mariners more than tondeur!

Only cause he doesn't have to pay to get in! His commentary was a bit lacklustre this afternoon.

Wouldn't want Walters in my dream team today

You fans were a credit i reckon 200-250 there today. We gave you a proper game and feel a bit unlucky. Your keeper made one immense save and think we had a penalty shout ignored.

Good luck for the rest of the season, hope your fans and team get back safely.

There will be match highlights up very late tonight (between 1230 and 2am hopefully)

The winning goal was a superb strike one for the end of season DVD.

PS found out today why your video is not HD, Its impossible to upload to mariners player so they have to upload standard quality. I think its the company that run all the players being behind the times, its not GTFC's fault at all and the camera is capable of superb video.

Hopefully our paths cross again, was a pleasure if a little gutting to lose today.

Thank you mate, pleasure to read your post. Very gracious of you. Look forward to seeing the highlights and all the best for the rest of the season. (thumbup1)

I really enjoyed today - an entertaining game and a super club to visit. I thought a draw would probably have been fair, but I doubt either club would really have wanted the extra game. Certainly wouldn't be surprised to see Welling in the Conference next season on today's evidence.

Speaking to a Welling fan afte rthe game, he was saying they couldnt afford a replay, travel expenses etc, and the players havent been paid for 2 weeks.  No idea how true this is :/

Very untrue. Get a lot of chinese whispers in non league.
