McKeown, Hatton, McDonald, Doig, Thomas, Colbeck, Jones, Kerr, McLaughlin, Cook, Hearn.

SUBS: Disley, Neilson, Bignot, Southwell, Rodman.

i'm guessing colbeck is in because he's more defensive than neilson

Not in Grimsby at the minute away with kids in Sheffield but still listening to commentary on my phone.

C,mon Town

Nielson dropped? Is he mental?

Yawn!

Must be dull...

RH have discussed the solar heating on the local houses, last night's England game, George Kerr's watch (not working (stuck at 10 past 10) and Dave Moore's rubber gloves (blue)...  and they were the highlights!

Quoted from ginnywings

Yawn!

Shows what a no score bore this has been so far by the number of posts made.....nothing really of any note to comment on :-/

Sounds like pretty dire stuff so far but just a little bit of quality and I reckon we can win this.

The paint is watching Salisbury and Town dry by the sounds of it!

Get neilson or rodman on to liven it up

Whip round for George Kerr to pay for a new joke book.... or to pay his gas bill..... or a personality.........another thrilling topic today !!

By the way... we should have had a penalty !!

John Tondeur knows when to take a match off !!

Cummon Town, wake up !!

Hopefully the goal wakes us up! Not good enough so far.

too late
One down

boo hurst out

Bloody rubbish

Honeymoon period over for ph?

This isnt good enough

1-0 down and George Kerr still can`t crack decent jokes. :B

Quoted from livosnose

boo hurst out

He can go for me. Boring man, boring team.

Why in gods name would you drop Scott Nielson?

Cant believe how quickly colbeck has got in neilson should be given more games stupid decision

Quoted from pontoonlew

Why in gods name would you drop Scott Nielson?

Because he is way too cautious and worries about the opposition rather than letting them worry about us.

We now have Jones off and Rodman on which means back to 4-3-3

Just realised it is probably still 442 with Paddy moving into the centre.

I think i agree ginny,the team play in the managers image, and for me that is boring, cautious and uninspiring ?

George Kerr has summed it up. No creativity in midfield, which is pretty much how it has been for the last few seasons.

We have no commanding midfield still

Quoted from ginnywings

I don`t believe this.(wallbash2)

Since Scott left the team has played a lot better under Hurst.

If Hurst leaves , kindly tell me who you`d have in to replace him?

Neilson on at last but as usual everything is too late. We go behind before we start playing.

Neilson on to replace Colbeck....time for Scott to show us why he should have started in the first place

Someone better.Not my job to choose managers.

Not beaten anyone of note since he took charge.

Town hit the bar...George says we should have scored

Come on Town!!

I can`t see Hurst leaving yet, or at all this season. Hopefully Fenty and Co. will keep faith with him.

We`ve still got a long season to go , the team will gel together and the results will come.

Third of the season gone and we are no better than last season, probably worse.

What ever happens now its just not good enough

We've now failed to beat Salisbury in 3 attempts. :-/

Bloody hell jack there's nothing like optimistic youth    How long do give them to gel ?   Get rid know Fenty

Spin it all you like Hursty but we are shambolic

Shouldn't have lost that game, they had one proper chance and scored it. Very frustrating.

That's what we get for only deciding to play when we were losing though.

Not good enough, didn't start playing again until way too late - down to one person to get em ready and fired up!

Over to you Mr Hurst!!!!!

UTM

My view having seen a lot of the home games is that McLaughlin and Kerr are wy too slow yet they are first choices. I am usually very tolerant with managers but Hurst is getting close for me. Does not have a lot if presence he same as his team. Anything less than a win next week and I would get rid. There are some good players here but a terrible lack of pace and energy in the middle. Way too many holding players. Sort it hurst or time to go. UTM

Same as tuesday really only got going once we went behind. Not looking like a top five side too inconsistent basically just not good enough. We must have the two worst right backs in this leage.

After fifty years supporting town the depression of the last ten years is kicking in big time this season and I cannot get up for attending any more matches at the minute. Hats off to the die hards who never miss but my spirit is broken for now.

Fortune favours the brave....we should have gone for this from the off so got what we deserved  :-/

FGR lost again.

They'll probably beat us next week.

Quoted from jungleland

The lack of support will be the killer. I am a season ticket holder and will remain one in the future but when we are not competitive at this level it gets harder to go and the crowds will plummet. Hurst plays way too cautiously and I have enjoyed very few games this season. Hurst needs to find some magic soon or the ground will be empty utm

I see that Gateshead won again, they appointed a good Manager in Gary Mills and the results have followed,they are steadily climbing the league, think we missed an opportunity when he was available - i fully expect Gateshead to be around the play offs this season, Mills has been there and done it.
Sadly i cannot say the same for us, there are just too many games when we d'ont score, its OK scoring 5 then 3
when that many aren't needed, its when you desperately need a goal that we constantly fail.

Blame the footwear!!!!

What was the attendance today, particulary travelling Mariners?

Feel sorry for anyone who's given up their weekend to travel to witness us losing to one of these unfashionable clubs AGAIN!  :-/

That's how i feel. Will have to have a massive change of heart to be there next week.

Hurst saying the game was there for the taking but the players didn't sense that. Says we should have had thegame wrapped up by 60 mins and the best one of all was that players were not wearing the right studs for the conditions.

flipping laughable.

Town fans never got on with Scott (who really was the man in charge),because of his manner, leadership and team results, so he`s gone. No loss there tbh.

Hurst is now in charge, and although the team haven`t played to expectations, fans now want HIM to go.  (wallbash2)

Give him a bit more time, and let`s make a firm decision end December.

Even with a new manager, we can`t be certain that he`ll get us promoted at the end of the season.

Also that's five defeats in 15 games and three 1-0 losses out of that total

From having one of the best defences in the league last season we're nowhere close to it now imho

Just looked at the league table,

Salisbury, Welling and Braintree are all above us,

How low are we sinking ?????????

Not quite the level of the Titanic Pete but we've sure hit the rocks

Just like the Costa Concordia we're going nowhere fast if we don't get ourselves sorted out and pdq

"Slip on's" we need a pair of Doc Martens!

Dropping players for no apparent reason worked well Paul.

Can you blame him if he has? I think if I'd been there alongside him I'd have done the same given that performance and result

I think George is just as fed up as we are and finds it easy to talk about anything other than the game he was watching

Why would he mention that players had wrong length studs in? Does he not realise how bad that reflects on the management and professionalism of the club. Agree with another post re Gary Mills, however, if he has ambition he should be able to achieve a lot more at a club our size then Gateshead providing we are a) willing to appoint him on appropriate salary and b) approach Gateshead in the correct manner not through the back door.

Still I cannot see Fenty making any change this season so Autumn rugby internationals for me. God football makes you feel miserable

The team play in the same manner that Hurst gives interviews - totally dull and uninspiring.

Can't. Really argue with the changes. Lennie injured, Neilson did not do anything in the last game and Colbeck provides better defensive cover for an away game. Pleased to see Jones in midfield as he is different to the other 3 and good to give Dis a rest.

I blame Sutton Mariner for today's defeat ... http://www.thefishy.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1381401705/   :'( :'( :'(

When I mentioned Mills a few weeks back, just after the Scott incident broke, a couple of eyebrows were raised as Gateshead hadn't got going under Mills. He's turning them around though, whereas Hurst is slowly doing the same here in reverse, turning us back 3-4 years. It's like the last 3 years have never happened, Woods part 2, lacklustre manager with strange player choices, slow starts, a merry go round of midfielders who are always put to shame by hard working part time opposition,  fans wondering if the new crop (Ritchie Jones, Kerr etc) are finally the real thing or the latest bunch of journeymen.

The 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 myth done away with (2 games no goals) , play in front of a packed BP and it makes the team nervous, play in front of 1,300 at Salisbury and it's no better.
When will it end.

I think we should find a manager who can find brave players who can fire themselves up and be desperate to win at all costs, fed up of 1 in 3 game performers.

Nielson is probably our most effective player. One bad game doesn't warrant him being dropped. Yet again Hursts excrement decisions have cost us a game.

Sick of this excrement ruined my weekend and ive got work tomoz to make it worse  :《

Anyone else hear the fella on the radio moaning about people moaning  ;D

At least Lincoln are still below us and they lost, not all bad  :)

Come on guys - there's a long way to go. We were without some key players today.

Quoted from Belfast Town

We will all feel better after we beat Forest Green 3-0 next week. ;D

How the hell does Hurst justify putting Colbeck back in the team? Sh1t and totally predictable result.

Hurst deserves more time to get it right , maybe a jan transfer window . However his position may become untenable if results don't improve because of his links with Rob Scott . I don't think the players signed in the summer have improved us , except neilson , and can't help thinking that Scott's reputation may have had something to do with it
