Subs v @southport_fc : Hatton, Colbeck, Cook, Thanoj, Tounkara

Team v @southport_fc : McKeown, Bignot, Fyfield, Pearson, McDonald; Kerr, Disley (c), Neilson, Rodman; John-Lewis, Hannah

Ooh which one to follow :-/

No doubt Brodie will score.  

I think we posted at the same time the mods will merge them.

I hope Hannah takes his chances today we need a result today.
Brodie red card lol

Quoted from LondonMariner43

No doubt Brodie will score.  

Hope not, Pearson and Mac should snuff him out, just hope Pearson doesn't do anything daft and get sent off.

Northampton 1-0 down to Plymouth

1 striker doesnt make a team and they've been poor all season even we beat them bad decision by Connell but its his choice.

Wrexham 1 down

lincoln 1 up at hyde

Sunderland down to 10 after 3 mins  ??)

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Sunderland down to 10 after 3 mins  ??)

And 1 -0 down

Any updates on how Town are playing?

Pretty scrappy so far but Rodman looking lively and playing well!

wrexham  1 - 1 dartford

Brodie with a horrible late challenge on Kerr that angers the Lower Findus, the striker escapes with a yellow card #gtfcby Grimsby Town FC via twitter 3:25 PM

Fyfield battles well to release Rodman on the right but his low cross is cleared for corner#gtfcby Grimsby Town FC via twitter 3:23 PM

Free kick from the right floated in by Kerr & Pearson rises to head over the bar when he had more time to direct effort #gtfc

Brodie you silly silly boy!*









*He used to be a wank3r and now he is again

I did say he will get sent off if there manager has any sense he will end up being subbed

Our corners seem to be a little lacking again.

Their goalie trying to make our corners a bit more dangerous. ::)

OFF THE LINE! A corner works its way through, McDonald got a touch & it bobbled towards goal in slow motion but was eventually cleared#gtfcby Grimsby Town FC via twitter 3:31 PM

The free kick starts a period of pinball in the box but no Town player can force it home 

You just know that Brodie will either score or be sent off........or both!!

Former #gtfc Trialist Scott Brown cuts inside and curls an ambitious 30 yard effort just wide of McKeown's goal

Buckley talking about Hannah and being offside- I've been banging on about that since he signed! Incredibly frustrating, makes you wonder how many more he would have scored if he had an ounce of awareness.

He's just too eager he just needs to drop 5 yards but he's lucky to be starting tbh.

N'thampton 2-0 down.Oh Alan.. :P

Hyde 1 Gimps 1  ;D

Poor Alan lol

The wind is causing problems Town unable to find their rhythm

Have we had a shot on target this half?

Anyone hazard why we're so poor at home?

Yeah it was cleared of the line albeit a feeble shot lol

I have this gut feeling Oumare will win us the game.

That wasn't from a shot, it was the defender and keeper cocking up after a flick-on.

Lincoln 2-1 up again, as are Dartford against Wrexham.

I can see Tonka becoming an impact player off the bench. Let's hope.

Anyone know which way the wind is blowing?  Hopefully if the wind is with us we need to try a few long range wind assisted bullet shots lol

Damn! Brodie subbed. Wanted to see him sent off, and he would have been! :(

Poor so far today, the conditions seem to be preventing us from playing.  Need to get 3 points today and keep the momentum going,

Come on Town!

UTM

Brodie...what a waste of time.

Inevitable Brodie being subbed c'mon town

I had a feeling it would be like this !
Same old Town really ,we have no chance of the title as we can never put the shite teams to bed  :-/

The Shop and Hannah have had chances already this half, lets keep it up.

Tounkara will probably come on soon and change the game (hopefully)

UTM

Best chance of the game for #gtfc , McDonald splits the defence. Hannah runs onto it but his effort is turned awayby Grimsby Town FC via twitter 4:08 PM#

gtfc start the 2nd half on the attack with Neilson firing over from 25 yards

A corner runs to Bignot 30 yards out but he fires well wide. Rodman then goes on a run down the right but his cross is behind LJL

Today's attendance: 3306 (25)

Kerr floats in a lovely corner from the right that is met by McDonald at the near post but he heads just wide #gtfc

Its coming lol

Sub - Colbeck on for Neilson.

Need to get into their half and attack.

UTM

Hyde 2 -2

How many more times is Hannah going to fail to score when one on one with a keeper.
I really get that feeling were going to lose this 1-0

Think we need a change here, not threatening their goal at all.

Hyde 3  !!

Hannah is our top scorer and Oumare is only on loan but why play him which he scores and gets an assist then dropped its this I do not agree with.

Time for a change. Nothing's happening. :(
Can see Southport sneaking this I'm afraid.

We seem to be hell bent on giving them chances and seem to be a little vulnerable when they break.

Come on Town, need to make a change up front.

UTM

Hyde 3-2 against the GIMPS

Go on Hyde

Could tjis be hydes first win

We need to. Score!


Listening on the way back from working in Wales last night

C,mon Town lets have a goal now.

Quoted from Meza

Could tjis be hydes first win

First home win. hey've won ONE away. Shocking even by Lincoln's standards.

Disley with a great knockdown from Kerr's deep left wing free kick but it's nicked away from LJL before he can react

God this sounds horrible. Just hope they don't sneak one

We have to win these games at home, a draw is no good, we need the three points.

Quoted from Meza

Could tjis be hydes first win

They have already won this season, this would be their second win
UTM

Two great saves by Southport keeper, come on Town

And he waits how long to brink a striker on?

Lincoln 3-3 !

That might spare us on now for the last 15.  C,Mon Town.

Quoted from mariner tommy

They have already won this season, this would be their second win
UTM

Oh ok I thought they hadn't won lol

Att. 3,306

Bloody hell Shaun!

Pearson booked and will now have 2 match ban (Wrexham away and Cambridge away)

Cook coming on for the Shop.

Come on Cookie, same as last week please!

UTM

Pearson booked for #gtfc . Believe that will be a suspension for the Town defenderby Grimsby Town FC via twitter 4:35 PM

Tremendous double save to deny, first a John-Lewis snap shot & then McDonald's follow up header. Still 0-0 #gtfc

Oooh Tounkara has a great shot saved

Tounkara & Cook both on now for #gtfc having replaced Hannah & LJL

We really miss him when he's not playing, we really needed him for the likes of  Wrexham and Cambridge.

Shoots his mouth off too much unfortunately. I imagine half those 10 are for dissent.

Disley hits into the side netting.

Its coming, keep the faith

UTM

Golden chance goes begging for #gtfc . Bignot's deep cross from right falls on the head of Disley but with Hurst to beat he hits side netting

I think this will end 0-0

These misses could cost us!

A cross from right finds Ledsham at far post. His ball back across only needs a touch but it drifts wide for visitors #gtfc

Its got a draw written all over it!

Cook tries to muscle his way through in area but is eventually crowded out #gtfc

Gutted. Gutted. Gutted.

I hope next time hurst sticks with the scorers from the previous week

Quoted from Meza

I hope next time hurst sticks with the scorers from the previous week

I hope not ;) lol

Changes for change sake hindsight is a wonderful thing lol

We really needed to close the gap today, it now means we are 11 behind Luton with only 1 game in hand on them, very tall order to catch them now imo

It doesn't matter how well their keeper has played, the shots still have to be close enough to him for him to make a save.

Teams know statistically that they have a better chance of at least getting a point here than losing, that's poor. If away form doesn't hold up we could easily slip back.

Disappointing draw, 2 points dropped today without a doubt.

Need to, and should be, beating teams in the bottom 4 - poor performance I'm afraid.

UTM

Very very poor. It's the display more than the result that brings up so many questions. Neilsons spluttering form, Hannahs frustrating play, our dopey opening 20 minutes to EVERY game, our lack of plan B and options on the bench. I really fear we will limp into the play offs once again, unable to put teams to the sword in crunch games.

Today is why we will only make the playoffs at best. Hannah needs a long rest till he remembers how to score goals :(

Im a bit annoyed that hurst went with Hannah despite the number of one on ones he's fluffed I know he has great work rate and hasn't been poor his misses will cost us eventually.

oh well tea time lol.

Absolutely dog egg.

How can we not score at home against a team with a  -21 goal difference?

flipping usless and predictable,Ive said all week that they'd intercourse it up.
Luton have the title now and this lot can poke it if they think I'm going to Wembley to watch them choke again in another damp squib.
Ruined my weekend again  :-/

That was very very poor. Enough said

Not sure most on here realise how bad that wind was. If it was just blowing down then pitch OK but it was swirling the ball all over the place. Extremely difficult for players from both sides.
Probably just about shaded it, but thought a draw wassa fair result.

Think I am more positive than most about the play offs. We seem to do a lot better against teams that make a game of it.

The two legs coming up against Cambridge should be a good guide to our play off chances,which I am very confident we will be involved in.

No chance of the title but was never going to happen, we are simply not good enough. End of.
Home form is roughly equivalent of most mid table teams. Only our away form, where we can hit teams on the break rather than knock down a brick wall is our saving grace.

Attention seeking weirdo.  You know who I mean.  (Not you, badger).  Makes me wonder why we used to think he was so good.

Couldn't really control the ball in those conditions - both teams pretty much cancelled each other out, but we ran out of time towards the end, when they were wasting as much time as possible, so I suppose we must have been dominating.

Not sure if anyone had a particularly good game, but I don't think anyone was shocking either.  Crowd was disappointing - support only really got going well into the second half, when everyone was getting a bit desperate.

The crowds vocal support yesterday reflected the lack of performance on the field, but we all got a little vocal with our ex ace brainless Brode

Quoted from grimsby pete

Their support yesterday were very quiet Pete, having said that there was only a small tea shop full of them

Bit harsh on the support, think in the second half we in the pontoon really cheered the team on and dragged a few good chances out of the team when nothing was really happening on the pitch.

Agree with StiggsGTFC though, the wind was really bad and affected the game but we are all a bit too doom and gloom on here, we often lift ourselves for the big games ala Cambridge and so playoffs we have every chance!  Lets get behind us and not let a few poor results ruin the good feeling that had been developing over this season!

I quite enjoyed booing Brodie, yesterday.  In fact it was probably one of the highlights for me.  Unfortunately, I suspect he was quite enjoying it, too.   :o

Don't mean to be harsh on the fans Caesar, as I know we've been through enough, but still a bit disappointed in the support during the first half - a bit feeble for a promotion chasing side, I thought.

Yes ,I will go along with all that. It seems that to many are ready to criticize when things arn't going to well,as we all witnessed yesterday. At BP we never seem to acknowledge good play but as shown yesterday when Big Mac miss placed a pass everyone was moaning but when he does those wonderful crossfield passes there is very little appreciation heard. Lets get behind OUR team and push them all the way to the playoffs.I think to many people are watching Premiership matches on the box and expect OUR team to play that standard of football but thats not going to happen. I for one enjoy watching Town, home and very often away and will be very happy to support them which ever league we are in.
