McKeown; Hatton, Thomas, Miller, S Pearson; Niven, Disley, Devitt, Marshall; Cook, Hannah

McKeown, thomas, marshall and cook all back in the team !

Good to see Cookie getting his start he earned.

SUBS: Colbeck, Brodie, Ford, Wood & Thanoj

Good to see Niven keep his place aswell. Come on Derek, have a good game!

Probably the best team we can put out, Liam Hearn aside.

Bench not looking too sloppy either!

Quoted from KK_DOG

Probably the best team we can put out, Liam Hearn aside.

Was thinking the same.

Really could do with 3 points today.

UTM.

That line-up looks very strong.  

That's a very strong looking bench! Got a good feeling about today!

Scary to think the left side with Aswad and Devitt/Marshall..

Being 4 points clear at the top would be very nice. I will really be listening out for the Thomas Devitt combination, think that will make a big difference. Cooky will really be up for it again and I would expect Brodie to feature at some point and he will be chomping at the bit.

Just heard Burns on Hull moaning about the lack of buzz at the KerCee. Is the FA Cup meaningless these days or is he just an árse?

Meaningless to us.

Ha true!

Anyone know why JT isn't doing the commentary?

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Just heard Burns on Hull moaning about the lack of buzz at the KerCee. Is the FA Cup meaningless these days or is he just an árse?

Both. He's an anus and Bruce has been treating the competition like the reserve league. Burns and Swanny (a front bottom) have been going on for a while that the cups pointless and the money is in the Premier League.

Unlucky on Fleming, came in, did his job, clean sheet and not on the bench!!

Link anyone?

Quoted from davmariner

Anyone know why JT isn't doing the commentary?

He hasn't tweeted since 22nd January - unusual for him. Hope all is well.

Anyone got the link again? I always forget..

They are physical team like i said in other thread, thats clear already as theyve had 2 or three chances on goal and got right into us, hopefully we  can weather this spell and get passing the ball a little.

Cambridge have made the start that we never do.

Straight out the blocks and at us.

can't get any grimsby commentary on mariners player? listening to cambridges at the minute

Yeah I agree, let's hang him...

A big WELL DONE to all the Mariners supporters that have made the journey down to Cambridge

Support sounds good

LINCOLN LOSING.HA HA HA HA HA

oh jeese

He's a good commentator...he's done a few games in the past. I like him at least I know whats actually going on. Jt for all his positives(ha) he's pretty bad at actually commentating. I do like jt though.

Nerves now kicking in

LINCOLN LOSING.HA HA HA HA HA

But it's not good.

sounds a great game

agree that this commentator is much better than JT. With JT i struggle to work out if we are scoring or conceding when a goal goes in

LINCOLN LOSING.HA HA HA HA HA

But Forrest Green are winning?

Pondy is starting today for Fleetwood and they are 1-0 up. :)

Hope Cook can continue  :-/

Cook looks to be coming off for Brodie due to head injury  :-/

Current FA Trophy scores Gateshead v Barrow 0-0, Halifax v Dartord 0-0 & Southport v Wrexham 0-0 aftrer 24 mins

Looks like Cook is coming off...  :-/

Brodie on for Cook, is booed on by home fans

Come on Brodes, Show us what you have got

Brodie booed by their fans ;D

Brodie with a point to prove after being dropped. Brodie goal predicted as Hannah isn't getting a mention.

Booing brodes is good! HE thrives on that and is part of his game. I'd put money on brodie scoring if the abuse carries on.

Did Cook get injured?

Quoted from The Yard Dog

Did Cook get injured?

Yeah, head injury.

Had Cook first goal and GTFC 2-0 doh! Come on Brodie!!!

Sorry for the confusion livescores.co.uk has the Gateshead & Halifax postponed now, Wrexham just taken the lead at Southport

why did they play hatton over wood again, woods a rightback that came in and was class at leftback, but gets chucked out the team instead of hatton whos never been defensively sound

Agree.

Sounds like were on the back foot, need to wake up a bit...

Town are slightly under the cosh, Pearson is having a screamer, shame cook had to go off as he was looking bright!

This is hard to listen to atm. Cmon Town.

come on town, lets start playing like we are top of the league

C'mon Town

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

linesman our best player atm

OMG Hatton, get a grip of your shaging body

im listening to bbc cambridgeshire, they are not happy for the linesman who keeps flagging for offside !

Sounds like for once a team has spotted a weakness at RB and they're trying to get that Haynes Brown on the ball.

0-0 at half time is good IMO, Scott will fire a rocket up their backsides and we'll come out the better side hopefully!

Cambridge commentators are ripping into us ! 'Just remind me who is top of the league' ?

Listening on Radio Humberside, Come on Town!

half time 0-0

they also sound very impressed with devitt

Quoted from Super Clive

Not what they was saying last season! They was jizzing over us! Tossers.

To be fair the away game at their place last season was probably the best performance of the season (apparently) and it sounds as though, barring a 10 minute spell, we have looked a shadow of that team.

Can see us coming out all guns blazing now though after S&H have a word with them :)

Err calm down, Cambridge haven't been that impressive (i'm at the game)

We need to. I know we've not lost in a while but since Lincoln away we're playing shite.

Southport 0 Wrexham 2 at Half time

Quoted from Super Clive

He's a good commentator...he's done a few games in the past. I like him at least I know whats actually going on. Jt for all his positives(ha) he's pretty bad at actually commentating. I do like jt though.

A bit too excitable for me, every time anyone gets the ball near the edge of the area it sounds like a goal is imminent.

Four changes from last time out, disrupted with Cook going off early all have effects.

0-0 yet again without playing great by the sounds of it so hopefully we can grab the game now and get the win.

Brodie and Hannah need a goal to boost their confidence, hope they grab one

Come on town ,we need to make this count today  :-/

ever since Lincoln home we haven't regained our form

Quoted from GyMariner

ever since Lincoln home we haven't regained our form

Neither have Lincoln the useless twits

TBH, were not doing too bad considering are we?

Brodie hit the crossbar

Brodie is our pantomime villain

Brodie also hit the deck!

Quoted from Tinymariner

TBH, were not doing too bad considering are we?

results wise no but cmon wheres the performances gone

although I prefer cook, I like Brodies mental game

C'mon Brodie, find the net lad

Bloody Ross Hannah, comes on loan bags a load of goals - comes on a permanent deal and has been useless ;)

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

results wise no but cmon wheres the performances gone

What I mean is, If this is our dip in form, or blip, then I will take it and hopefully we will kick on and improve now.

Offside!  Aaaaaaaaaaargh

Close

Fook sake lino, looking better though, Marshall on form, fans hate Brodie here but you've got to love him.

Is Ross even playing? Sounds like a shadow.

haven't heard Ross Hannah mentioned

Cook brings our strike force together

He's literally playing out and out striker, stand on the last defender and not do much else, but thats always his game really, he just looks likely with Cook on the pitch as he can anticipate the flick ons etc.

Take Hannah off and go 433 with Thanoj on and Devitt and Marshall supporting Brodie.

Maaarrrrriiiinnnneerrs

I think this is the hardest of our next few games, Cambridge third in the form table as well. Late goal would e nice though.

Southwell will do well to get on today, not on the bench

Quoted from Conference10

This is going to be a crap 2 points dropped

Disagree


I'd say a point on the road is always a good point so worth taking it

Quoted from Conference10

This is going to be a crap 2 points dropped

Not necessarily. Its quite a good point on paper and another game unbeaten.

Quoted from Conference10

This is going to be a crap 2 points dropped

How on earth do you work that out??? Cambridge are decent and we are away.

0-0 final score!

Get in, Town. Maaaaaaaaariners. I know its only a point but they all count, UTFM.

Well that was exhilarating

Well we all would have like 3 points but another clean sheet and unbeaten again!

Not a bad point, but not a brilliant point either. Slightly disappointing, but great support from the Town fans yet again!!

A draw is decent but how many more opportunities can we afford to keep letting slip? Another chance to create a little bit of a gap and put the teams just below us under a real bit of pressure missed again!

Don't get me wrong tho a points better than none :)

Take the positives out of today, a good point away from home against an in-form team and another clean sheet.

Would love us to win every game but satisfied with the point.

Fantastic away support again.

UTM

Another away point against a reasonable side, another clean sheet, lets take the positives and move on...

2 points dropped IMO. Again when we get a chance to pull away a bit we pass up the opportunity.

Have a feeling we might regret not winning today later in the season.

Yep, taking all into consideration having goal offside, hit the bar twice, 1 cleared off the line and many opportunities, a stone wall penalty on Brodie (lmao) denied, then we are unlucky but a point away at Cambridge is not a bad result at all.

If we could be just a little more ruthless in front of goal, we'd urine this league.

Positives are another point, another clean sheet, another game gone and carries on our impressive away form.

We started with 4 changes to the side today and still came away with a draw and clean sheet. Still top and those below are under pressure to catch us. UTFM

I'm a little disappointed with 1 point TBH, we have a strong squad - I know losing Cookie early on was a knock back - and Cambridge had a fair few players out injured. It was a decent time to play them and we didn't seem to take full advantage.

But hey its 14 games without loss.

UTM!!!

Lets look forward to Tuesday night now in the FAT.

Quoted from jimgtfc

Lets not re-open that can of worms again eh?

Think it's worth pointing out. Don't mean to re-open the whole debate but if there's a time and a place for the drum it's certainly not when we've got a corner. Would hate to see the tradition of chanting Maaaarrriiinnnneeeerrrsss at corners die out because of a minority who don't show any respect to other fan's opinions.

Time will tell whether today was a good point or not but that's 10 league games unbeaten so can't complain.

I cant believe Luton have beaten Norwich i recall seeing about 60 minutes in they hadnt had a shot on target! Fair play parking the bus containing them and then pouncing bringing on 2 of their star players.

Quoted from Tinymariner

Lets look forward to Tuesday night now in the FAT.

Indeed - it is a game we should be able to enjoy. Luton's heart won't be in it after today!! Lets go at them and score a few goals to knock their confidence!!

Marshall for a hat-rik and Hannah to get 2 hahahah

Quoted from Mariners_15

Despite the recent drawn matches, we're still joint second in the form guide, just ahead of Cambridge:

I reckon Luton's cup run will finish off their league push too.

Quoted from Tinymariner

I would love that to happen!

This was Town's SIXTH 0-0 draw of the season (fifth in the league).

I wonder when the last time it was that Town played out so many goalless draws in one season?

I'm particularly happy with our defensive record this year - so while we might not be the division's top scorers we're certainly keeping them out at the other end (hence just four league defeats all season).

EDIT - I've just checked and we actually drew 0-0 six times last season (four in the league).

should the goal have stood does anyone know?

Quoted from Tinymariner

And a Neilson OG!

I think he is cup tied.

A decent performance. Devitt almost scored an amazing goal.

Brodie was off side so it wasn't wrongly rules out. If one team was going to win in my opinion it was town.

A point away from home and another clean sheet is always a decent result in my eyes. We stay top and we haven't lost...only four all season so far isn't bad is it?

If this is our bad spell then we've done alright...

Gutted.

According to RH 699 Town fans there which is a fantastic effort.
For what its worth i think we still haven't addressed the lack of an offensive centre mid player,  we can sign any amount of forwards and wide players and  indeed its true Disley and Niven do a job for our back four, hence our goals against record, but are nowhere near as effective for our forwards IMO. What have they scored between them this season - less than 6? I believe  we need a return of  vital goals from centre mid.

Did any other stayaways hear that and think. .  if i wasnt at wirk/childminding/w@nking off  to Jeremy kyle usa on Itv 15 it wiulda been 700? Rofl

I'm trying not to be disappointed.

Just heard Paul H. on R.H. - he sounded quite upbeat and wouldn't take any negatives from Scott Thingy.  Said it was a better performance than other recent performances.

I don't really care about Tuesday and Luton and the FA Trophy.  I'm just greedy for points and desperate for us to make it out of this league.  Really hope we don't pick up any injuries on Tues as there may be a bit of needle involved.  Luton have got a bigger squad than us, I suppose.  They will need it with all their extra games.

Sorry, this thread is a bit negative.  Just getting it out of my system.

On another day we'd have won 4-0. I still think we were the only team likely to win. We have to take the positives. Had we come away and not created any chances etc i'd be worried and critical but we did everything but score. We never really looked under any threat and we still look very good going forward.

Tuesday is an opportunity for us to keep the momentum going. I'm not arsed about the result but i believe we should try and win every game and in honesty so does he squad and the gaffers. Luton can have their cup run in te FA cup, it'll bring a few quid in for them to pay more over inflated wages for players but come May they'll have intercourse all to show for a cup run apart from another season in non league...
