Town are: McKeown, Wood, Thomas, Miller and Naylor at the back, midfield of Colbeck, Disley, Thanoj and Marshall, and Cook and Hannah up front. Subs: Hatton, Brodie, Devitt, LJL and Artus.

Sad that I cant' be there today, but living 70 miles away and having a 7 week old have put paid to it.
Come on Town!

Would be happier with Hatton at RB and Devitt on the wing, but I have faith in S&H, good to see Hannah back in the side. 3-0 to town, Hannah, Cook and Thanoj!

Would like to have seen Devitt start but I'm sure the managers are preferring Colbeck's superior defensive/cover/strength/tackling attributes in a tough game on a heavy pitch. Devitt could be a very effective sub. Glad to see Hannah and Cook up front.

I'm glad Thanoj is playing. Hopefully he'll create something for Hannah

Oops, I have to proper mash the 'a' button on this laptop

Surprised Wilson isn't on the bench this afternoon

How have we started?

Mansfield 2-0 up after 20 mins.

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

How have we started?

sounds like we are on top, but they have had the best chance

Drat and double drat. Keeper saves from Hannah

their keeper just made a great save to keep a  header Hannah out

FFS

excrement 1 down

balderdash  :o

Motherf***er

play offs will do i guess

How Gash :(

fuuuuuuuuuuck

intercourse. Scott needs to lay into them at HT

Yeah one of those games where we come from behind to win 3-1!!!! Come on Town!

We need to not lose this game if we want to win this shitty league.

Quoted from Southernboy

Yeah one of those games where we come from behind to win 3-1!!!! Come on Town!

thats impossible at  0.2

So what now then? Devitt? Brodie? LJL?

Devitt on and get some wing play

What now, get Pearson fit quick

Good point so that'll have the 3-2 then!!

dont need to panic, their keeper has kept them ahead.

Quoted from Codswede

Is Thanoj even playing???

OH FFS  ;D

Both goals were gifts after we gave the ball away stupidly and unnecessarily. Their keeper has made two brilliant saves but Hannah really should have buried the first chance which would have put us 1 up at the time.

We dont seem to be scoring headers from corners anymore, is this because the crosses are bad or we miss Pond or both.

Come on Town..lets get back into this !!

GET IN MILLER!!!

Get in!

Who needs Pearson when you have Miller :P

Come back !!!! come on !!!!

Yeah well, Ian Miller ......... class ........ pure class! 8)

COME ON TOWN

Come on. Let's do this.

We may finish up losing this but for goodness sake it's too early to start saying we'll have to settle for the play offs. Lots of twists and turns in this game let alone the rest of the season

Ebbsfleet drawing with newport... Fingers crossed we can get something from this!

Ebbsfleet have equalised against Newport

wrexham losing, newport drawing, this is massive , keep composed town, we are playig well enough just need a bit of luck, fingers crossed

Sounds like a right thriller now - reall top of the table stuff

Barrow just scored against Forest Green 1-1

4629. Shop on for Hannah

COME ON YOU male masturbators.

Go on Rob!!

Balls 1-3

Game over

wish buckley would shut the ---- up

Playoffs pahaha

Play offs it is then.

Feck

Jesus christ, Taking Hannah off lost our momentum. Sloppy defending from us, very un-Town like. Whats happened

Kidderminster as Champions? I know they have played more than most but seem to be scoring a lot of goals like Mansfield

End of the day they are a much better side than us. If they win the league they deserve it. But saying play offs it is then is a joke. Anything can happen

at least we are playing well, and not getting deservedly beaten

ok, ok so we are all a bit dissapointed that kiddy have scored a third, but come on a game lasts 90 minutes these days or have we forgotten, they have just been caught out trying to get back into the game which i am not going to criticize them for. lets not for get kiddy are second in the table, its not like we are playing telford guys,
still keep fingers crossed plenty of time left yet, look at wigan v everton earlier today 3 goals in 4 mins, it can happen, i have to be optimistic as you guys are giving up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subbing Hannah for jl what the heck! If any one Brodie all day long he would of wound them up and probably got us something not a yellow card like that shower of brown stuff. FUMING

Substitution kills our momentum, Rob Scott disgraces himself again and Town blow it as always just when a big crowd shows up. Why am I not surprised? 😫

Kidderminster have got their tactics spot on and done us with quality.

We've not played well since the turn of the year, this is the time of the year that counts and unfortunately we're playing well below the level we were in November and December.

Buckley is a right nob at times

The defining moment of this season that threw Towns promotion off track...

The signing of John Lewis. Utterly bizzarre.

It's the stubborn persistence with him that's causing the problem. We didn't need him.

Perhaps a bit strong but it was definitely a weird signing. No goals or assists yet and surely Brodie would have been a better choice than him today off the bench?!

It all comes down to the saying 'If it aint broke dont fix it '  :-/

Its the last Slade season again

hang on guys, whats with blaming the shop, bit of an over reaction i think, yes he hasnt hit the ground running but you are slagging him off on here, and like myself we are not at the match and relying on radio commentry, its unfair on him to comment like this as we are not watching what his contribution has been like this afternoon. The problem might be we have too  many strikers and with so many options scott and hurst dont now know their favoured front two, it does seem we havent got a settled strikeforce doesnt it, but hardly LJL's fault the club are overloaded with strikers. any strike pairing need a number of games together to buld up that understanding, we seem to be choppping and changing too much, thats my onlu slight criticism.
We have no right to beat kiddy, and we are still having a fantastic season, lets not forget that. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  UTM

Don't agree. We needed to strengthen and we did. The fact John Lewis has been junk is the problem. The signings of Naylor, Brodie and John Lewis showed ambition and that we were serious about winning the league not taking the cheap option of sticking with what we had.

Newport have drawn, that's a bonus. They missed a penalty as well.

Kiddy and Mansfield both gain 3 points on us though. Eeek tight at the top...

FT

I'm off to confort eat on a gateaux and pray for Pearson to get fit

The chopping and changing has been the problem, why drop Hannah a couple of games after you sign him for someone who has a crap goalscoring record over the last 2 years, Hannah & Brodie injured then he is there as back up, but change for the sake of it does not work.
It should be Cook & Hannah every game till they cant run, that was the front pair when we went on the great run so thats whet we should start with every week. as for taking Hannah off when we are well on top is a terrible decision. >:(

Agree with this. If we'd signed a striker who was playing well then it wouldn't have mattered. But he has no assists or goals to his name yet which is quite poor after 6 weeks of being here.

There are bogey team,they was gifted 3 goals n took all their chances.saying that we should of won today but missing key players n shocking substitutions cost us.didnt expect a easy win today but slightly let down how we lost the game.

I think this result pretty much means Tuesday's game is a must-not-lose game...7-pts behind Mansfield (with a game in hand), not to mention Wrexham and Newport (as I don't generally believe Kidderminster are good enough to win this league, even after today).

The problem today was just an inability to score when we had the ball in good territory, in inability to break down their back four and sloppily giving the ball away leading to three good counter-attacks.  I agree with the comments on LJL, personally, going to every home game and some away games, I don't understand what he offers to the cause.  I think Hannah & Cook are our best combination, but we need to start scoring goals soon, believe we have only scored more than 2 twice since the turn of the year (3-0 v Dartford in FA Trophy and 4-2 v Alfreton, correct me if I am wrong).  I thought Niven was missed today, he is good at breaking up those attacks and counters, and ultimately 3 counter-attacks cost us, which Niven may or may not have been able to stop.

On one other note, I think it's ridiculous how (again) the crowd turn on each other, giving part-timers stick (yes I would prefer them to come everyweek) but them going to Wembley is making us money.  Also parts of the Pontoon were giving each other stick, questioning who is a real fan because some left early and some don't stand and sing for 90 minutes...just something I find pathetic

Let the over reaction begin...it's the most predictable thing in this league.

We lost, we didnt play well, they capitalised on that. We have another game on Tuesday. No point playing the blame game just get in and support them. It's far from over.

The reason we lost was because the attendance was over 4k, keep it below 4k and we'd have won today...this statistic of playing crap in front of large crowds is becoming pathetic, it surely can't be coincidence.

its as simple as this town  were not good enough today certain players should take a good hard look at themselves and play for the team ie track back and help out instead of just ambling about after losing the ball . but the biggest mistake was made by the managers why take off the player who looked like scoring and was playing well . we should have took off marshall eariler and gone for it with another striker on ie brodie. but i am sure we will play better tue . UP THE TOWN

The title has gone we will not win enough games now to finish top
We haven't really been the same side as before
Xmas and the problem for s and h is that neither
Brodie Hannah or the SHop have stepped up.

We need Kiddy to go on and win it and hope
That Hearn fires on all cylinders.  We can
Get out via the playoffs, don't think there is much between what's
There at present but we need Hearn

Yes it may be unfair but I was at the match and he contributed precisely NOTHING and killed us as an attacking force! Sorry but that's how it was from my point of view.

I still think we're in for a good shout of the title, remember Kidderminster lost to Gateshead last week

Quite surprised there aren't more doom mongers on here like normal.

The league hasn't gone, isn't even close to going, not just for us but for any of the top five. It really is anyone's. I'm sure Wrexham fans are saying the same things as us tonight as will Newport. Today was a good day for
Kiddy.

One thing we do know is that there will be some odd results to come. The one thing this league has taught us is to expect the unexpected...

We haven't played well since the turn of the year and you cannot keep grinding out results forever. No the league hasn't gone but unless we find some form, starting on Tuesday, then we've no chance.
