Agree with that to be honest.
Cook and Thomas look knackered.
& Marshall and Brodie haven't done alot last few weeks.
Artus can feel hard done by, but Disley an Naylor are streets are head.

only 10 players?! Assuming the missing man is Devitt. UTM!

Indeed, Devitt plays. I hope LJL and Colbeck show vastly improved performance levels. Good to see Disley and Pearson back. No Hearn on bench.

Is there a new rule that if you lose 3 in a row, you start with ten the next game?

10 man team - interesting tactics!!

Oh tinkering again, what a suprise...

Sorry forgot  Devitt

Quoted from pontoonlew

Oh tinkering again, what a suprise...

Out of interest, what would've being your team tonight?

Makes you wonder if Hearn is being rested for an appearance from the bench at Wembley?!

dont know if ive missed something but wheres  thanoj> injured?

I agree with that, need to keep people fresh for wembley

Quoted from aaron rattray

I agree with that, need to keep people fresh for wembley

No we don't.

We need our players fit for the league. I want to win on Sunday of course I do, but if I had to choose it would be league all day long.

IMO our strongest one bar Niven.

The exact team who turned out our best performance in months against Mansfield. Tinkering the team is something that has cost us so much this second half, each game means a host of changes. What side do you know win things with constant rotation?

For the record, the guy just on the radio from the Chronicle spoke the most sense i've heard on RH all season.

Quoted from Tom13

Makes you wonder if Hearn is being rested for an appearance from the bench at Wembley?!

Hearn only came in on Sat because Hannah failed a fitness test, no surprise he isn't in tonight. They said he wouldn't be involved till after a reserve game this week, their hands were forced for Saturday due to injuries.

Be surprised if he is on the bench on sunday if the other strikers are all fit.

Quoted from aaron rattray

I agree with that, need to keep people fresh for wembley

With that in mind, why do you think we've risked Disley and Pearson?

Quoted from topuphere666

No we don't.

We need our players fit for the league. I want to win on Sunday of course I do, but if I had to choose it would be league all day long.

Yes but it would be nice to win

With john lewis i dont mind because whenever he has played it has been with similar players too himself and Hannah will be his perfect partner

C,Mon Town lets get 3 points tonight, we Can't let ourselves lose 4 in a row, Be good to get the confidence ready for sunday and also widen the gap between us and FGR.

UTM

Quoted from aaron rattray

Yes but it would be nice to win

With john lewis i dont mind because whenever he has played it has been with similar players too himself and Hannah will be his perfect partner

Of course it'll be nice to win. But we shouldn't let it take priority.

Going to get crucified. But, LJL probably deserves a start. Cook looks absolutely knackered recently. & Brodie and Hannah doesn't work for me.

Anyway, COME ON TOWN!

youve just said that aaron ;)

I don't care if John Lewis has a blinder tonight, if Hearn is fit for Sunday I'd pick him.

Odd cHoices tonight but who knows, it could work. If it doesn't though there would rightly deserve to be an uproar...

It turns out FGR don't play until good Friday - by which time we could be trophy winners and nine points above them.

We mustn't balls this up tonight

"Hearn only came in on Sat because Hannah failed a fitness test, no surprise he isn't in tonight. They said he wouldn't be involved till after a reserve game this week, their hands were forced for Saturday due to injuries.
Be surprised if he is on the bench on sunday if the other strikers are all fit."

Yeah, just wishful thinking/speculation - as long as LJL and Hannah come up with the goods we should be alright anyway

In my opinion, tonight's game is not only important to get three points but is also the game that players can show they deserve a start on Sunday. After Saturday I reckon they should have raffled off the squad places to fans...

Great minute silence. Town fans sound brilliant already! Well done lads for turning out this late in the month and before wembley! Hope LJL can silence us all tonight with a great performce

Come on Town

Come on you mighty mariners

May seem like a silly question so some fans, but although ive listened for years i cant recall the commentators name that is assisting tondeur tonight.. I think he's much better and easier to listne to.

Not heard us make 2 passes yet, come on Town.  Lets keep the ball and knock it around.

UTM

theres gonna be a commentator f ight

flipping short corners (blink2)

PLEASE STOP THESE SHORT CORNERS!!!! IVE SEEN IT WORK MAYBE ONCE THIS SEASON AND WE STILL DIDNT SCORE!!!!

Quoted from springstomind

May seem like a silly question so some fans, but although ive listened for years i cant recall the commentators name that is assisting tondeur tonight.. I think he's much better and easier to listne to.

It's Matt Dean

We need to sort out our corners out.

Does devitt to colbeck from a corner count,, he did over hit cross lol.

flipping useless. Colbeck intercourse off. Wood intercourse off

OH FFS!!!!

flipping jesus

oops a daisy

Ace.

Kamakaze again FFS, why do we constantly get done by teams on the break!

:/

#BringBackBuckley
Sorry  :B

Dear god we're playing abslutely terrible. Shocking! .... Come on town get it together!!

expected us to lose this match, nuneaton have 1 defeat in 6 and have conceded 2 goals in 6, while we are in some awful form, and they really need the win to fight relegation.

Wood is getting skinned left right and chelsea.  Colbeck looks bottom.

This is getting stupid now!

ouch

Woods amazing remember....

Sunday could be embarrassing - the league's best defence is leaking goals these days - playoff winners ? You're having a laugh!

This flipping squad rotation is stupid. When we stuck with a settled defence we were practically impenetrable. Now we keep dicking about and playing left footed players at right back and swap centre halves every game and are consequently shipping goals for fun.

Thats why you don't play Wood left back, especially with Devitt in front of him.

Pathetic!

FFS Town what is going on????

FOR intercourse SAKE

Quoted from lukeo

me and a friend both have £1 on 5-0 to Town .. 100/1. COME ON TOWN!! Please.

100,000/1 and I may have been tempted

is Thomas on the bench?

Quoted from bradzmilne

#BringBackBuckley
Sorry  :B

Idiot

I agree chrisblor I've been saying for weeks that the squad rotation has killed our consistency and fluency

intercourse off!!!!

Can I stick up for Wood and say, he can't help it if the other bloke is quicker than him. & im pretty sure he doesn't want to be playing LB.

have we got enough points to stay up ??)

flipping excrement town

I really don't see why if Thomas is fit wood would even get near a start...

Why do we always go for the short corners

Quoted from ackomariner

Idiot

Calm down.
Anyone who wants Buckley back wants their head checking.

Quoted from brad_gtfc

Can I stick up for Wood and say, he can't help it if the other bloke is quicker than him. & im pretty sure he doesn't want to be playing LB.

Yeah that's fair enough. It's a ridiculous team selection by the managers.

absolutely sick to death of short corners. never work.

this sounds dreadful.

Quoted from aldi_01

I really don't see why if Thomas is fit wood would even get near a start...

Because Dumb and Dumber have proven that rotation definately works....

We'll get back into it, its only early remember.....girls.




I did NOT say this on Saturday.

"town lose another one, meaning the defenders have to charge back"
Its like we never learn lessons, or change anything about how we play

Do we even feckin practice corners?

Why on earth have they played Wood when Thomas is fit ??)

Why can't we just simply put the ball in the box properly from corners? The amount of opportunities we waste from corners is ridiculous.

All the postponements due to weather and cup games have just come back to haunt us. I bloody wish we'd gone out of the trophy in he First Round now!  :'(

Crazy team selection IMO why not play your best team and stick with it....

but but but

rotation is the best way to play football though according to 80's

we can't lose 4 in a row, surely?

Jesus Christ...

Why dont we let Hatton take corners and put a decent ball in for intercourse sake.

jesus christ what has happened to our defence :o

Don't tell me even mckeown is gonna go off form now

What the hell is going on, get a bloody grip Town.

Get the ball on the deck and start getting comfortable with it.

UTM

just to add to the mix macclesfield are 1-0 up as it stands they would be only 6 points behind us.    early days in the match yet and although we have started poorl lets not panic and hope we get some time on the ball and get settled into the game.

Quoted from gobby

Why on earth have they played Wood when Thomas is fit ??)

Then again Thomas has been awful for the last few games too

This is getting beyond a joke.

What has gone wrong, and how can we put it right?

Thomas was rubbish Saturday so hardly a surprise Wood plays. Why do we have only one left back or no left footer to play at left back?  

In every possible respect - energy, tactics, hoofing, delivery, set-pieces, passing, defending...... Town sound utterly, utterly sh1t. Being outplayed comprehensively by a bunch of relegation-threatened part timers. Well done one and all.

Quoted from marinette

This is getting beyond a joke.

What has gone wrong, and how can we put it right?

Wake up on Monday morning next week

Quoted from marinette

This is getting beyond a joke.

What has gone wrong, and how can we put it right?

Turn the clock back and lose the Trophy semi-final

Newport 0-1 Kidderminster

As JT just said 'square peg, round hole'

Quoted from lowerfindus

Thomas was rubbish Saturday so hardly a surprise Wood plays. Why do we have only one left back or no left footer to play at left back?  

A left back and a midfielder is what people were expecting to sign at the end of january. Instead we got lennel john lewis. How can BOTH our managers have got some sort of head injury/bribe from luton

FFS if we play like this on Sunday we could get a hammering

Sounds like he's having a great game too! Not.

'Town seem to have players running at half speed at the moment'

Can't risk pulling a muscle before Sunday can you lads?

York is ripping Wood a new ar se

Come on, blast this in

Newport 1-1 Kiddy

The way Newport and kiddy defend that could end up 4-4...

What the hell has happened to this team seems to be in freefall

Oh hey we took a corner properly and it sounded reasonably threatening. Do that more instead of taking them short you shits.

Not mentioning any names but were carrying too many passengers at the minute. The managers need to have a serious word with the lads, starting to think Wembley has been more of a negative than a positive...

I Disley even playing?

'Front two looking like their on different wavelengths here'

Yeah, one of them isn't on this flipping planet.

Must admit, although he isn't to blame for our recent form I still question why the shop has got a start...

Quoted from pontoonlew

'Front two looking like their on different wavelengths here'

I know Hannah hasn't scored since we signed him, rubbish signing booo S&H out!

A left back and a midfielder is what people were expecting to sign at the end of january. Instead we got lennel john lewis. How can BOTH our managers have got some sort of head injury/bribe from luton

Woeful yet again

Quoted from aldi_01

Maybe he has a store card!

I'm afraid to say this has been coming for a while, our performances have been dire since Xmas, we need to end this slide asap, if we fall out the play offs after our position a month ago I think fenty will will get rid of dumb & dumber

Said it last week we have bottled it and the managers signings now need to be questioned.

end of!

Quoted from mariner122

I'm afraid to say this has been coming for a while, our performances have been dire since Xmas, we need to end this slide asap, if we fall out the play offs after our position a month ago I think fenty will will get rid of dumb & dumber

Please re-arrange these words
Talk out dont ar se your

Super Town.

If fenty were to get rid of them it would show just how dumb he really is. Although the mangers ideas of squad rotation aren't great, players still have to put a shift in and against kiddy, Cambridge and so far tonight that seems a long way off. Surely some of them are to blame too?

For smeg's sake. What is going on with us?! Great opportunity tonight and, as with our big crowd at home syndrome, we've ballsed it up.

Quoted from mariner122

we need to end this slide asap,

Of course - but how???

Do we have anyone in our squad who can turn this game around?

Richard B might be a contender but I'm not holding my breath.

Disley bottles a tackle and some say Wembley isn't on the players minds.

Give Disley a rest for the second half, he is obviously not fit or doesn't want to throw himself into tackles as usual.

UTM

Quoted from marinette

Of course - but how???

Winning games would be a start... ;)

Quoted from Chrisblor

It's Matt Dean

yer thats it thanks a lot mate

Come on would you even play lewis in a sunday league team , Lets be honest the last time we played well was at home to wrexham i dont like what neilson did but its since he left we have been awfull

Quoted from Cumbrian Mariner

Give Disley a rest for the second half, he is obviously not fit or doesn't want to throw himself into tackles as usual.

UTM

If its the latter the twit should not be selected on Sunday

Sounds frigging awful. It's like Woods is still in charge

Are you suggesting neilson is the difference? If you are then you are verging on being deluded. He's had a huge impact at Luton. His heart isn't in it, he's money orientated too much.

Fact is we just aren't playing good enough. They need to raise it.

Make subs now?
-Disley sounds unfit,
-Wood doesnt sound himself,
-Pound World up top - well to be honest he hasnt done anything wrong but you can guarntee his going to miss a chance before the end of the game  ;D

doesnt seem to matter what side is selected, it sounds like we are serving up rubbish.  This is getting beyond a joke, I expect S and H to make the situation clear in no uncertain terms. Things have to improve, and now.  Enough is enough of this rubbish.  Its relegation form ffs

Missing pond he was the key.

This season feels like 05/06 all over again. Going great guns until the new year and then performances dropped and results got steadily worse (although I don't think we lost four on the trot at any point).

Do we over-work them in pre-season? Do we burn them out in the first half of the season? It's a weird one to work out because some teams are slow starters and then in the new year they get it together and storm into a top position.

get rid of the managers? shut up you loonatics. S and H are class, its not their fault top players like disley devitt naylor mckeown pearson miller and hannah arent performing at all!

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

Missing pond he was the key.

Agree with that 100%

Get Artus on for Disley

Cook on for LJL

incredible what is happening:( it really is, and there doesnt seem to be any answers on how to stop it

Quoted from aldi_01

Yes i am he moved the play fast drew defenders and gave hannah space he switched play very well and yes i agree he has not pulled any trees up at luton but he did for us. As you are rite it was about money with him but it does not change the fact we have not looked the same team without him  

Pond, Nielson and in form Hannah are all massive losses.

This is depressing.

Anyone suggesting managers out, your a complete bell end.

Quoted from springstomind

get rid of the managers? shut up you loonatics. S and H are class, its not their fault top players like disley devitt naylor mckeown pearson miller and hannah arent performing at all!

Did agree but have to say. we have played our best team until end of January since then ROTATION !! how many games have we won in this rotation system they have suddenly installed ?? that has to be there fault !!!!!!!

Wood a right back with average pace being asked to play left back....Dizzer not fit.....John Lewis ffs, never questioned S & H  but seems finally they have give up any chance of promotion,  another possible year in this shite league, Wembley seems more like a chore than a pleasure at the moment, expensive..excrement beer..and not guaranteed the players will turn up....

Not if you listen to no intercourse all 80s according to him this is how you manage a modern team the game has change so much modern players cannot be expected to play week in week out like they used to!!!!!

Wood off Thomas on Disley off artus on colbeck off Brodie on play 433 come on town lets not become the laughing stock

The managers pick the team yes! But it's down to the players to implement what they want. The players at the moment are a disgrace and they need to be held responsible for NOT the managers.

I need an explanation, and saying we have had a 'nightmare week' isn't a proper explanation.

So many opinions, I feel a poll coming on if we can't turn it around:

Wembley-itis?
Squad rotation?
Players not good enough?
Tiredness?
Confidence shot?
Tactics?

Changes need to be made soon they have had 45 mins to show that they are the ones to start Sunday, Cook has to come on to partner Hannah, Wood off for Thomas with Brodie on for Hannah and Disley off for Artus

Town are one dimensional . There is no plan B , this has been proven recently. People are right to question the managers. While the unbeaten run was good at this moment in time we are on the verge of repeating last seasons poor end to the season. Have we learnt? What can we change to put it right?

LMFAO! WHY WOULD YOU TAKE DEVITT OFF? COLBECKS BEEN LITERALLY bottom!!!! sorry for caps

Quoted from Ipswin

If its the latter the twit should not be selected on Sunday

So, one of our best players this season is now a twit after having one poor 45 minutes.

Quoted from Garth

so colbeck who cannot take a corner, often nutmegs himself and looks like buzz lightyear stays on and devitt comes off!!

Read the post I replied too again FFS The poster questioned whether Disley a) wasn't fit or b) didn't want to go into tackles If he's fit but not committed then no, fuckit he shouldn't play

Quoted from springstomind

LMFAO! WHY WOULD YOU TAKE DEVITT OFF? COLBECKS BEEN LITERALLY bottom!!!! sorry for caps

Totally agree. Genius tactics.

Squad rotation is what's wrong here. Too many changes week in week out. Even jt on the radio said to many changes, the player's don't know there jobs anymore. Also playing people who are clearly not fit like the skipper. Why not put the young lad from hull in center mid tonight, but no, he's not even in the squad for the game. Think s+h have lost the plot a bit in trying to get things going again. UTM

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

Missing pond he was the key.

Not sure I agree with that, we still have the best defence in the league, however we arn't scoring goals, we have scored 14 goals in 13 games (including tonights so far) and 7 of those came in two games. So thats 7 goals in 11 games, not sure how Pond makes a difference to our strikers.

Hannah has failed to score since he signed and so has LJL, Brodie hasn't done much either. Plus our midfield is not creating anything especially the wingers who can't cross a ball to save their lives.

Quoted from Ipswin

Still very harsh to call Disley a twit though.

Hopefully Marshall can deliver for the first time since....... (I'm genuinely struggling to finish that sentence)

Come on Marshall, give us some of that old form.

What I wanted to say was should Hannah fail to find his form Brodie on for him for last twenty

Quoted from Les Brechin

Still very harsh to call Disley a twit though.

Not at all, if he's fit (and if he isn't he shouldn't be playing) but isn't committed to tackles because he's got his eye on Wembley then he is a twit (the site does not allow the word I really wanted to use) - as are any others currently not giving 100%

Quoted from aldi_01

Do you think Wrexham will agree to play 5-a-side? :)

I think tonights line up already tells us a bit about who they plan to use at Wembley.  Devitt Marshall as wingers and Brodie Cook up front.

probably not 5 a side haha, but if it was based on today id have to play

2-2-1

Thomas, Pearson
Marshall, Artus
Cook

as noone on the pitch is even trying tonight

Pond scored a good 5-7 goals and was a constant threat from all set pieces.

Cook on for LJL thank god!

LJL. Why?

Absolutley mental

eh? ;) something fishy going on right??!!!

This sounds bloody poor, You would think with Wembley on the horizon and all to play for we would play with some urgency. :-/

They keep going on about LJL's bulk up front, he doesn't win alot of headers, if he provides bulk its useless bulk.

Whats it matter which goes off, Hannah or LJL? neither have scored since they signed.

Quoted from springstomind

Cook on for LJL thank god!

Lol.

At this rate the men in the white van will be coming for Scott and Hurst. Clearly lost the plot.

There has to be a reason behind LJL?

lmfao gotta love Brodie, chopsing off not even on the pitch haha

I think I must be having some kind of out of body experience, I'm listening to an extremely frustrating performance (again) which sounds lackluster (again) with some bizarre substitutions (again)!  HELP

If things carry on as they are, are we allowed to feel disappointed?  I'm currently beyond disappointed - I'm flipping angry, but I'm not sure who I'm angry with.  

What the flipping hell has happened to S&H, I cannot believe what is going on. Yet again we see the team selection and know it's going to turn out shite, we see substitutions and know they are going to turn out shite, yet S&H persist with it week in week out? It's not the fact we're getting beat that hurts lately, it's the inevitability of it before the games even kicked off.

What f***ing world are the management living in?! They've killed it!

Quoted from 2578

1 of them is shagging the shop I'm convinced!

Probably, after all they've already fuckedour promotion chances

I'm guessing Hannah isn't 100% after missing Saturday

Unbelievable.

LJL must have an appearance clause in his contract,play him 10 games you can release him in the summer sales for nowt!

He's done no worse than anyone else tonight

They might as well engrave Wrexham's name on the trophy now

On the one hand S&H have done really well to reverse the fortunes of this club and have us do so well this season. On the other hand its them sabotaging their own success. If they can turn around the bad starts we've had both seasons under them. They should find away to turn the bad finishes around.

Apparently we're passing it about quite nicely now...

WITH THE SHOP AND COOK UP TOP

Ffs, still nothing.
We haven't created a proper chance for what? 150 minutes now? This isn't good enough.
Shove Wembley up its bottom, i now see it as nothing more than away to earn 250k because were going to get mullered. Play for your places in the team at very, very least?
This is completely unacceptable

Quoted from AdamHaddock

They might as well engrave Wrexham's name on the trophy now

Sad but true _ I just hope it's not too embarrassing - if it's like tonight Sunday's game is going to seem very very long indeed

lol joke isnt it, were the new Luton as it stands. Have we had a shot on target?

I've just got back on here, how is there 15 pages about this match? lol

These bad patches are when Managers earn there crust. S&H seem to be struggling as much as the team to make the right decisions. Once we started rotating the team with the likes of John Lewis who is a poor footballer in anybody's eyes we have lost all essence of a being a team. We have lost all momentum and to me that is completely down to this chopping and changing.

Quoted from Codswede

Apparently we're passing it about quite nicely now...

WITH THE SHOP AND COOK UP TOP

>:( (cursing)

Not according to positive John we're not

FFS Brodie should be on the pitch.

Sound like not one player deserves their place at Wembley. :-/

Quoted from paddymariners

FFS Brodie should be on the pitch.

I hope he starts on Sunday - mind you he will probably have a big barney with Itchy and Scratchy later tonight and screw up his chances

Quoted from paddymariners

FFS Brodie should be on the pitch.

based on what? he's hardly dug up any trees has he...

Attendance tonight 964. So we can't play in front of big crowds nor small crowds

this sounds absolutely disgraceful

Did i hear correctly ? did we then just get a decent corner in ?  ??)

Maybe just leading Wrexham into a false sense of security for Sunday maybe all part of the big master plan

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

based on what? he's hardly dug up any trees has he...

He's dug up a few trees by scoring snce he signed, which is more than either Hannah or LJL have done since signing.

Get this bloody "being hit on the break" sorted out.  We have been hit god knows how many times by teams this season, it makes it worse when its by a team that train twice a week.

UTM

The words that fill me with fear EVERY F******G WEEK....

"There's a break through the middle now......"

It's like we've hardly progressed at all since S&H's first month in charge.

Maybe our fitness will begin to tell against a part-time team for once........

ffs they dont know how many subs we can have ;D

We carry on like this, There is a real threat of missing out of the playoffs now.

Quoted from ackomariner

This

I agree that the tinkering has cost us as we have quite simply lost momentum.
It's like 2 steps back now losing to partimers again
It's painful listening to these two aswell

We have been playing poor ever since Xmas, but I can't help thinking we are going to pull out a big performance at wembley and win the trophy.

Quote JT

"Town happy to wack it up field"

#tactics

In other news, a certain Anthony Elding has just scored.
You just don't no whether to laugh or cry

How can the two in charge get it so right for the first half of the season and seem to be getting it so wrong for the second half? Beggars belief really.

Aren't lincoln currently in the relegation spots?

Calm down Tom.

Who cares, he's pretty much playing expensive pub football... The mans an idiot and was a bad egg...

I honestly don't give a excrement where lincoln are

here we go lack of discipline again

I don't like the idea of them playing Shaun Pearson when he's injured.

"Marshall says something under his breath"  half of bloody Grimsby are shouting at the radio!

[quote=284]Who cares, he's pretty much playing expensive pub football quote]

He'd have fitted in really well tonight then, MOM probably

not even at the right end of the pitch, this is terrible

;D

Colbeck mentioned there! forgot he was still on

just intercourse off

Normal service resumes on monday? I bloody hope so

This is bottom

Theres no urgency when they play now, they just aren't desperate for a win

Shop and Poor ball is ringing in my ears ..??)

I'll be well p!ssed off if they all suddenly play blinders on Sunday

Without a doubt the worst performance of the season, possibly Braintree away or Nuneaton home are on par but i doubt it.

I'd put a lot of money on normal service resuming on Monday...it's not right that our form has dropped off but you can see it happening..

Sounds like Naylor is the only one who gives a sh!t and he can't play on Sunday - coincidence or what?

At least we managed to draw against Nuneaton in that horrible home game in August.

Not good enough, absolutely shocking performance by just about everyone!

The players and management tonight should go over and personally apologise to the travelling fans tonight.  Not acceptable.

Really am baffled as to what has changed.


Just please turn up on Sunday.

Substitute any one of six or seven other names and it still works

Spot the pattern

in 98 when we got to Wembley we won 2 of the final 11 games, in 08 when we got to wembley we won 2 of the final 11 games, in 13 when we reached wembley so far we have won 2 of the final 15 games.

How hard is it to take a corner?? Suppose to be a pro footballer ffs.

These sharp objects don't deserve to play at Wembley

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH !!

It's just hopeless. We lose to bottom teams like Nuneaton, Braintree; we lose to teams at the top, Mansfield and we lose to mid-table teams with nothing to really play for, Cambridge. If we scrape the playoffs (scrape??) we'll carry no sort of form into them. Hopeless.

Winning at Wembley means intercourse all if we can't get out of this tinpot league, seasons finished.

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

Said it from the first time I saw him at bp.

Colbeck needs to intercourse off

Thank intercourse we can regain some form after Wembley...if not wed be bollocksed.

Yeah i agree about Niven you only know what he does when he's playing, i'm suprised we never went to get Manny Panther free agent for a couple of months or to the end of the season because the lad from Hull Dougie Wilson isn't getting a look in.

This is the problem with having a small squad - when a few don't perform, there aren't many options to change it!

just intercourse off Colbeck, utter flipping excrement

dear oh dear oh dear o dear.   Whats happened, lacking in quality, lacking in passion, lacking in ability.  On our books we have 3 talented players at this level on the wings who cannot cross a ball right now, plenty of strikers who havent scored a goal between them for approx 6 games now, we have lost the engine room to injuries and the defence have lost their confidence that comes with clean sheets.  

we really dont seem to have a plan B right now and by the looks of it just about everyone has sussed out our Plan A.  
this my first downbeat comment for a very long time, but i feel extremely deflated.  i can handel losing, thats not the issue and no i am not expecting too much from the team but come on lads your better than this surely,   maybe that long unbeaten run completely flattered us.  

am p!ssed off right now.

James McKeown 93rd minute equaliser - his been close last few weeks. Tonights his night

What the f@ck did the management ever see in him to think he would improve the team ? When we needed a cm ffs

They are suppose to be going to tesco on Thursday as a pre Wembley advert at this rate the fecking horse burgers will be more popular.

Disgraceful Town, players and management should put their hands in their pockets and remburse the travelling few

[img]http://www.mediasourcetv.com/Portals/0/BreakingNews.png[/img]

We are cack

I don't give a monkeys fvck what the managers say, we haven't been the same team since winning the semi-final (barring the 1st half against Mansfield) and Wembley is definitely the reason! I've seen Disley flying into tackles all season yet can't do it 5 days before the final!!! Absolutely shocking!!!!

The money will probably help us have a decent budget for next year to get back in the league because we certainly ain't going up this year with gutless performances like tonight!

Fvck Wembley - it's totally screwed up our hopes of going up!

4 defeats, how embarrasing to be a town fan right now, im never talking to anyone about being a town fan again, can never talk them up, it always goes wrong

Rubbish

We have not been the same since we lost pond and neilson.

OUCH!

I think the after game comments will be left to Hurst tonight

FECKING RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!

I think the after game comments will be left to Hurst tonight

FECKING RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!

The only good thing is Macclesfield drawing at the moment because if they win they go 6 points behind us and we have to play them away.

rubbish. you can take a loss if you play well (only just) but to lose a 4th game on the bounce in the manner in which we are losing games is ridiculous.

What a load of excrement

Astonishing. Turning radio off, there's nothing the management can say that will go anywhere near explaining what they're doing.
Wrong to single out single players but come on, LJL is a total jinx. Has he come close to scoring yet?

Serious questions about S&H's management skills in regards to the final part of  season.

Quoted from TWAreaTownSupporter

This is the problem when you sign 1/2 dozen strikers when you have no cover at CB and CM

Fair point!

I just can't understand the signing of Junior Mendes mk. II, and why the hell are we playing like a bottom of the league team? Surely it can't get any worse though, I think we'd struggle to beat Lincoln at the minute!

Quoted from Garth

I think the after game comments will be left to Hurst tonight

I couldn't give a toss who gives them. Its the pre-match talk i'm bothered about.

Great Macclesfield just scored always happens.

I expect nothing less than a profound apology from one of Scott/Hurst for that fuc*ing abject pile of sh1t. As if.
This run of results will do a lot of damage to supporter backing from now on IMO.

One word - DEFLATED  :-/

If people are embarrassed about being a town fan at any time they can intercourse off. We've been excrement for two weeks.

I still stand by that after Sunday we will improve if by magic. What does annoy me is that these managers have said you get picked on your performances in games and training yet we know that players who've been poor the last few games will get a game...

Quoted from RoboCod

Serious questions about S&H's management skills in regards to the final part of  season.

This

Quoted from fiveallive

Oh what a surprise! They'll be finishing 5th this season.

Jesus, Kiddy with 90th minute winner. Again :-/

So 4 losses on the bounce. Relegation form at the end of the day!

Something has to have gone on behind the scenes. No team goes from sitting top to our current form.

can not say anything good at all about our team tonight but will take some consolation in the fact that nuneaton now overtake lincoln and that puts lincoln in the relegation zone tonight.    
that in no way is meant to detract that we are all so desperately dissapointed in our team right now.   :(

Aren't Macclefield 2-1 up?

Speechless :X

Looks like wembley has cocked up are season!,next year play the youth team!..

If I was to put a shift in like that at work I'd be out of a job. Annoyed again tonite and really hope that we have a team that will turn up on Sunday.  If I'm honest there are some who have played in the last few games that I wouldn't pick on Sunday and the ones that I would pick I would not be telling until about 1:15pm on Sunday.  

They need a massive kick up the bottom and need to realise that they are lucky to be playing for our team.  If they think they can just turn up and go through the motions - they are wrong.  The supporters pay good money to support the team and do not have to put up with this type of performance.

The season isn't over, but if we don't wake up then it will be.

Come on town, this is just a blip and we can/will got over it.  We are still in the play-offs and have a lot to play for.  UTM

Quoted from CairnsMariner

Aren't Macclefield 2-1 up?

hm, obviously not fully awake - they'd already WON 2-1

Quoted from RoboCod

Jesus, Kiddy with 90th minute winner. Again :-/

Has anyone noticed how we never get any late goals? I thought we had decent fitness, but perhaps not - when was the last time we actually got one that mattered?

Hatton, Wood, Hannah, Coulbeck, Marshall, John Lewis, simply not good enough, none of those twits deserve to be at Wembley on Sunday, let alone on the pitch

Quoted from RoboCod

Jesus, Kiddy with 90th minute winner. Again :-/

They (Kiddy) are looking like a team of winners. I thought we had one but they are showing they dont have the winners' mentality.

The jitters are well and truly setting in. Macclesfield  close the gap to 6 points now. Very dissappointed with that tonight

Had we won say two out of the last four and managed a draw would be people still be moaning about Wembley? I doubt it very much...fickle fornicators are football fans.

We were excrement. End of. No need for a debate. It needs to change, and quickly.

LJL was bottom, Colbeck can't control a ball properly, Disley clearly unfit, Pearson clearly unfit, Devitt (usually my fave player) was terrible, Naylor cant pass a ball, Miller didnt win a thing, McKeown looked dodgy for the first time all season, Hannah lost his touch, Cook didnt do anything since coming on, hatton couldnt cross, good lacked pace, aggression (usually there) and anything really.

We were beaten by the better team tonight (part time who train 4 hours a week), looked like complete strangers and never ever ever looked like scoring

Quote of the night at 66 mins in

Matt Dean "We could play until midnight and wouldnt score"

A very big shame.

Absolutely flipping awful. Nobody comes out of that with any credit.

Don't use getting to Wembley as an excuse. Getting to Wembley doesn't turn an entire team into complete excrement.

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

Hatton, Wood, Hannah, Coulbeck, Marshall, John Lewis, simply not good enough, none of those twits deserve to be at Wembley on Sunday, let alone on the pitch

So when can we talk about it? After 5, 6, 7 defeats? Ever?

If we miss out on the playoffs which could now happen, It would be a massive failure this season, Just hope this loss tonight gives the players the kick up the bottom they need. :-/

Yeah we have to play Macclesfield aswell worry about Jack mackreth can play both wings and would boss both Hatton and Wood at RB and maybe trouble Aswad Thomas aswell. We play in the second game of 5 games in 12 days in April.

Thats stupid, you may aswell say had we been 10 points clear and storming to the finish, but we're not, and we've lost 4 games in a row, people are gonna moan, and discuss the reasons where its going wrong, thats how the world works

I really don't want to hear the crap Hurst will come out with tonight. Radio off. Hopeless but it's been on the cards. S & H are a one trick pony and everyone has sussed it. They are clueless. Boor off S& H!

absolute cak..

Quoted from AndyGTFC

Absolutely flipping awful. Nobody comes out of that with any credit.

Don't use getting to Wembley as an excuse. Getting to Wembley doesn't turn an entire team into complete excrement.

It does when if thats all there fixated with.there not premier league players so playing at wembley,instead of 950 fans at nuneaton ,big difference.they might not do that again in there career. Next year play the youth team,if still in this poor league.

Macclesfield away at Mansfield saturday if they beat Mansfield then its down to 3 points then things would start to get scary. S&H are the best managers we had in a while but Harry Redknapp got sacked by Tottenham because they diden't win the league, you loose at Blackburn and you get sacked these days so i worry at the end of the season if Fenty pushes the panic button.

Don't worry

at this rate luton will overtake us ,   ??)

If hurst comes on the radio and says "well its 4 losses but the performances have been ok" i will headbutt the little twit but i will have to kneel down.

I think we all need to hear some honesty and some sort of explanation.

I just hope he admits that he and Scott have got it wrong and takes it on the chin.

Before Xmas we played fast attacking football that punished teams . Since Xmas it's been slow , boot it predictable stuff , real non league stuff . Why ? Losing 2 quality players in neilson and pond and signing players who havnt delivered like devitt and LJL .

And replace them with who? Mickey Mellon? Gary Mills? Knowing Fenty he'd appoint Reg Holdsworth!

What's happened to Richard Brodie is he injured got a knock because it was all Brodie and Cook now he's out of the picture. And what's Frankie Artus done has he had affair with Scott or Hurst's wife lol, i know he's been injured but he never even made the bench for weeks then gets thrown in at the deep end then dropped again Disley isn't fit so throw Artus in to keep his fitness the guy hasen't hardly played since November so he can play back to back games.

We can start with having a 29 goal scorer when fully fit. Bin shop and 37 goal scorer Brodie, who offers little. Develop  Cook and Hannah.  Get rid of wingers who cannot cross well consistently or even beat a fullback.

Have a strong CM and good cover.

Train as part-timers do. (said tongue in cheek).  Works very well for Nuneaton and other teams. Even Salisbury were a division and beat us in ET after we took the lead in ET.

Get more players in who are physically strong enough for this league and the poor pitches.  Like Kidderminster can still pass well and last for 90 mins.

Stick with a winning team. And concentrate on the league.  Like Kidderminster again.

Hurst sounds despondent. Players saying Nuneaton put more effort in. Worrying stuff.

Hurst is usually  calm and composed in these interviews but he really sounds at the end of his tether

Devitt worries me. He's an honest player, and I wonder how affected he was by that illness a few weeks back. I remember Tondeur commenting on his first game back saying he looked even skinnier than usual, which was worrying. He's a shadow, literally, of his former self and maybe needs some extra care and attention in rebuilding his fitness. Colbeck won man of the match a few matches back and has been shite/inconsistent ever since and there's no excuses that I can see. Which sums up most of the team right now, they should have been playing for a Wembley shirt tonight and yet they manage the worst performance of the season. Inexplicable.

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

And replace them with who? Mickey Mellon? Gary Mills? Knowing Fenty he'd appoint Reg Holdsworth!

That's the point i'm making i don't won't them sacked but Fenty might push the panic button. But if had to pick if Fenty did the crazy and sacked S&H i would go for Mark Cooper new assistant manager at Swindon would easily drop back into this league as a manager or maybe Gary Brabin.

But i still rate S&H but you never know with Fenty he might go cheap and make it Buckley 4 lol.  

The current caller on RH saying john lewis looks like he has power and pace.

well intercourse me.

i think you have to look at it this way,, they are non league players because thats all they are , and we are a  non league club,  cant blame fenty for this , he has backed the managers all the way most out of his own pocket .

Well what a game of football! best home performance of the season from Boro. Well apart from the result for you guys hope you enjoyed your stay in Nuneaton, be interesting to see what you think about our town plus the pubs you visited pre match.

Watching that performance I think Grimsby have got alot of work to do before Sunday, we played Wrexham back in December and we lost 1-6 and we wern't that bad, so best of luck on Sunday! We don't want another welsh club getting there hands on our trophy.

Just want to credit you for your fantastic support tonight 264 isn't bad for a midweek fixture, just a shame this wasn't a weekend fixture as it probably would have doubled. Well best of luck at Wembley, also best of luck to the rest of the season, though I wanna see you again next season.

Before Xmas we played fast attacking football that punished teams . Since Xmas it's been slow , boot it predictable stuff , real non league stuff . Why ? Losing 2 quality players in neilson and pond and signing players who havnt delivered like devitt and LJL .

Nail on the head!

Hurst's comments sound worryingly like those we heard at various times last season after some dreadful performances when half the team was different.

Even a few weeks ago you simply couldn't have anticipated we would go on such a terrible run of form. We certainly weren't playing all that well, but we still looked solid at the back, compact in midfield and were grinding out results. For that to disappear suddenly is baffling, to tell the truth.

The managers aren't liked by many of the fans but I think a lot of the stick they are getting for this bad run ignores the fact that it is the players themselves whose performances have dropped horribly, particularly the forwards and the wingers. The criticism for team changes such as dropping Thomas for Wood may be good in hindsight, but Thomas was very poor on Saturday, looking knackered and Wood had a very good game at left-back last time I saw him play there. Cook has been in poor form of late as well so trying LJL is perhaps understandable. Just a pity he doesn't look up to much. The new Damien Spencer on what we've seen so far.

For me, I think that the fact performances have deteriorated so badly in the lead up to the 'big' Wembley game says rather more about the character of the players than anything else. A poor performance in the week immediately before the game is typical for many teams, but surely not when keeping in the promotion race is so vitally important after such a poor run?

Regardless of what happens on Sunday (which I don't expect to be very enjoyable for Town fans), I'm more worried that I can't see the players getting back to doing what they managed so well for much of the season - grinding out results.

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Hurst is usually  calm and composed in these interviews but he really sounds at the end of his tether

That's the worry for me - it is his and Scott's job to organise, inspire and motivate the team - they're not doing it.  They don't seem to know what to do. Wembley is always going to be a massive distraction - no matter what anyone says.  Tonight Disley, Pearson, Cook, Thomas and McKeown should all have been rested for Sunday.  Artus, Thanoj, Wilson, Southwell and Fleming couldn't have done any worse!

Wembley is going to be a pretty horrible day out if we play like we have been doing. Will we be the first team that gets booed by their own fans at Wembley (excluding England)? I wouldn't bet against it at the minute.

Even a few weeks ago you simply couldn't have anticipated we would go on such a terrible run of form. We certainly weren't playing all that well, but we still looked solid at the back, compact in midfield and were grinding out results. For that to disappear suddenly is baffling, to tell the truth.

Injuries to key players in midfield probably a factor !
Even key defenders are carrying knocks.
