Team:

McKeown
Bignot
Doig
McDonald
Thomas
Neilson
Disley
Kerr
Rodman
LJL
Tounkara

Subs: Colbeck, Cook, Hannah, Thanoj, Fyfield

The Tonk and LJL up front and Thomas back.

Thoughts: Disley is very lucky to retain his place and Thanoj is unlucky to miss out. Disley seems to be undroppable for some odd reason. Also quite surprised Rodman has retained his place. Hopefully LJL and Tounkara will link up like they did against Tamworth.

Agree

I have a feeling we will play a lot better tonight and hopefully stuff them.

Hopefully Tonk will get on the score sheet tonight, lets hope Town put on a good display ready for Saturday.

C,Mon Town

Amazed Rodman starts again. Disley has the armband which I think is the only thing keeping him in the team at the minute. Hoping Tank and LJL pick up where they left off. Come on Town!

TOUN, TOUN, TOUNKARA

TOUN, TOUN, TOUNKARA

Lets hope he scores tonight.

Pleased the Frenchman is starting.

Yep..

Just on kickoff too. FFS

Should have kicked off by now but technical problems they have just announced.

Yes me too.

Oh dear will have to put up with City V Barca what a come down

One down after 2 min

C, Mon get it sorted Humberside!

Town losing according to flash scores.

Town 1-0 Down

FFS flipping useless (both Town and Humberside and Barnet's commentary facilities)

Really? F***ing sh!te.

Glad we missed it.

Quoted from crusty ole pie

One down after 2 min

Really?

Smallest player on pitch scored with a header.

Humberside back, confirmed one down, nearly two.

FFS Town should be 2-0 down....

Now Barnet hit the post. This is pathetic. We cannot start games at all.

They just hit the post too :(

Bad start again, we are lucky not to be 2 down.

The way town start games now is quite pathetic really.

FFS come on town wakey wakey!!

WTf is actually happening, awful start again!

Makes you wonder what sort of talk PH gives them before they take to the field?

Can just imagine it....it's a 90 minute game so no rush - as long as you don't concede early you'll do ok

Oops!

Good to hear the Town fans in fine voice, if thats any consolation..... UTM

My mate is there. Barnet have just missed an open goal!

Same here !
Just a repeat of the last few seasons

Lets hope the commentator starts cheering us up soon with some jokes.

I like how the source of our problems appeared to be in midfield, most people were suggesting that maybe someone should get a chance over disley, paul hursts idea...change the leftback?

Salisbury leading 2-0 already away at Tamworth.... our games in hand don't mean much if we don't win them and the opposition continue to pick up points

Good to hear the Town fans still singing away.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Thats right Tim, if things don't change we could even miss out on the playoffs.

My view is that Doig is probably past it, he's never filled me with confidence. If he was bringing Thomas back in I'd have played Fyfield at CB to see how he got on.

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

I like how the source of our problems appeared to be in midfield, most people were suggesting that maybe someone should get a chance over disley, paul hursts idea...change the leftback?

He's done it again too! Aswad off injured so Fyfield is back at left back

When your midfield powerhouse is 64 years old, there's going to be a tendency to pace ones self through  the 90 minutes.

Maybe Pearson missing is the problem.

Quoted from KK_DOG

Maybe Pearson missing is the problem.

Defensively he probably is being missed but going forward our midfield are just not at the races AGAIN

I doubt it, JT is not that funny.

First time I've heard Rodman mentioned

So more than half an hour gone and we've created nothing of note and not had a shot on goal yet (unless we did when RH were off air)....not good enough is it?

Oh Christ..."There's a break on here"...Barnet player runs length of the pitch with the ball.....are we back to this?
We don't sound remotely like a team vying for promotion :-/

Sporadically yes, consistently...no.

Like listening to most Town games 2003-2012. Limp.

Central midfield showing its age?

Honestly, its f***ing infuriating. Same old same old. No urgency, slow start, second best, second to the ball, no midfield mobility, no chances created because the gap between midfield and forwards is massive. Going downhill after Christmas.......nothing changes. Pile of sh1t.

Neilson making things happen. The rest of the midfield continue to be anonymous.

It is only recently that we deservedly inflicted the first home defeat on Cambridge. Did we peak then?

C'Mon Town, Let's step it up now, show our Quality

Pre half time push by Town....would be good to equalise but no great expectations really.  :-/

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

So more than half an hour gone and we've created nothing of note and not had a shot on goal yet (unless we did when RH were off air)....not good enough is it?

The worrying thing is, after a dreadful performance in the last game, the very least you would expect would be an energetic and explosive response from the off, but it's the same old tortoises on tranquilizers.  :o

Thats a wasted corner..

Never heard that before.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Thats a wasted corner..

Never heard that before.

Earlier this season Scott Kerr was firing in some excellent set piece deliveries. I don't know what's happened.

I only just found out we were 1-0 down haha

HT....not very inspiring at all  :B

Need to step it up big time second half.

If there isn't a vast improvement in the second half there will be a big backlash, and rightly so.

having already used a sub probably means we won't see another till the 80th minute

Quoted from chaos33

If there isn't a vast improvement in the second half there will be a big backlash, and rightly so.

I accept we can't really expect to win every game but to lose without putting up any kind of fight is unacceptable

Hurst needs to tear into them during half time and tell them all to get their fingers out

If our players can't @rsed to put in a good shift then PH needs to question himself...we've got plenty of ability no doubt but its the application of it giving problems

No excuses now - we need the next 45 minutes to be full of passion from our lads and if they go down fighting so be it. At least they'll have tried to turn it around

Don't worry, Disley will probably tweet after the game acknowledging the fact that the effort wasn't good enough, but the fans where great. Again. :(

A promising end to the half and hopefully they'll come out fighting in the second half.

Barnet are a good side and we have had our share of good fortune in the two previous games against them.

Slow starts.

Can't keep a clean sheet.

Can't create chances except set pieces and we are pretty dire at them.

Recipe for mid table.

Quoted from Belfast Town

Blimey, bright start from Town!

Commentary down again  :(

FFS humberside now im listening to some excrement song and not my beloved Grimsby town... (anger3)

Barnets commentary is dismal. But working.

Could've ironically been "voice of the beehive" they'd played!

JT is back..... sounds like we have turned up now

John Tondeur is back and commentating from inside a tin can!

Using a yoghurt pot on a piece of string to the studio.

Lmfao what's with this commentating? Is he reporting through speaker phone on a mobile phone to another phone in front of a mic back in himberside or something lmao! Sounds horrendous

This sounds a bit better, i would give anything for another Town goal right now.

Barnet's commentator has all the personality of a yoghurt pot.

It's all Town now, which is a good thing

John lewis offside and he misses it anyway.

LOL.

Hannah coming on for Tonka.

come on town

Shocking. It's got all the makings of a dawdling 0-0 draw yet we let 2 in.

Rubbish

Woods out.

We're making great use of all these games in hand.

If you can't defend and concede at least 2 goals a game, you're not going to win many.

If by some miracle they scrape a win Saturday there's no way Im going to Wembley to watch these male masturbators !

Quoted from Chrisblor

We're making great use of all these games in hand.

Losing to teams that will leapfrog you in the table is helpful too.

Push everyone up.  About time McKeown scored a goal.

Cook coming on - doesn't really fill me with confidence!

I still don't understand why we dismantled the best defence in the league from last season.

No quality up front going to cost us . Strikers need to create their own chances as well as having them laid on a plate . Our strike force isn't capable of scoring from either . Shite transfer window work in jan Hurst

We need a goal - better take off our most creative player to try and get one!

Deja vu from this time last year.

Sick of it the bunch of bottling girls privates.

Still don't understand why we let Bradley wood and makofo go

Am i dreaming or did we match Huddersfield not that long ago?

Cook and Hannah partnership re-unit :-/ed - a minute to salvage a point

Free kick...into the wall. AGAIN.  Shite.

I wish Lenny and Rodman would stop flipping diving.

Rodman diving to try and get a penalty. Embarrassing stuff.

What are we now? 9th? 10th? Well done Town.

7th actually

Alfreton, Nuneaton and Salisbury all above us in the top 5  :-/

Sorry but this isnt good enough:(

no 8th

Quoted from GyMariner

Still don't understand why we let Bradley wood and makofo go

Exactly,  letting matt heywood go also was puzzling.

Losing is a habit...

Game over...shame we only tried our best in the 2nd half

1 win in 5 in the league this year as it stands

I'd get offering billy heath a new contract if I was the north ferriby chairman

Another unacceptable result and performance.

Poor by town But I reckon we will get the play offs which is the main aim this season.

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

I think we might struggle with our pis.s poor strike force

I accept that they squander a few chances, but definately feel they don't get given alot in the way of opportunities due to the team playing to deep all the time, lack of good balls into the box, and lack of quick counter attacks to stretch the opposition defences. Our attacking tactic consists of passing it around infront of 11 men until we either lose it and have to run back or get a scrap into the box. How many of our goals have come from corners or set peices this season?

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

me too, 4 points off the play offs with 5 games in hand impossible!!...........

Doesnt mean owt if u dont win em.

Quoted from Chrisblor

You know, keep Barnet guessing!
Surely to god you take off a defensive player when you are a goal down with 5 minutes left d'ont you?
I've said for ages that  IMO Hurst is doing a decent job, but has little idea on attacking play and we badly  need an attack minded coach.
Too many echoes of last season i'm afraid.

Definately like i've just said above, attacking tactics have been poor both seasons, said in another thread should bring in an experienced assistant manager whos been part of a succesful coaching team before, agree with what you said should have an attacking bias

You need to win those games don't you and ATM we can't win a game, so the talk of getting in the playoffs at a canter is boll ocks

Must be like being at AA and confessing our guilty little secret Chris

Hello my name is Tim and I'm a Grimsby Town fan....

Can't keep a clean sheet and the strikers can't score when we are on top. Another blank from the front four tonight.

Pretty poor all round. 1 point off the play offs now becomes 4 points off the play offs. I know we have games in hand, but they have to be won or at least drawn to keep pace.

Its sounds simple from watching and commentaries, we are totally fixed into compartments till we are chasing the game. Its almost like we play 4-2-2-2. when we put the ball in the box in open play we only seem to have one player in there which means crosses have to be inch perfect. This sitting off and letting teams have the ball where they cant hurt us always seems to hurt us, we should push 5 players on every time they get possesion. Wer are not playing against Messi and co. Most defenders in this league panic when put under pressure.  :o

I don't see how opposition defences can see LJL , Hannah , cook or tonk as a threat . They score fook all between them

Quoted from ackomariner

You need to win those games don't you and ATM we can't win a game, so the talk of getting in the playoffs at a canter is boll ocks

so we're gonna lose all 5 of them then?

Its like the game where kidderminster were 3-0 up in 16 minutes against us, in the second half when we got 2 back, we were FINALLY doing what they were d oing to us, and pushing players up, and getting the ball up the pitch faster, and their defence started having a nightmare! until we petered out later in the game, but it just proved me right in what I always harp on about under these managers, but sadly they didn't see it and we havn't really done that since.

After the first half showing I'd challenge anyone to be cheerful tonight mate

I did say at half time if we went down fighting I'd give them some credit....well they seemed to want it in the 2nd half but just when we finally get on top of the game (after an hour!!) we let it slip at the end

In the scheme of things I guess this is a defeat that we can say was to a team who are up there rather than from the wrong end of the table who just set out to stop us playing but why only show for half of the game (again)

If we'd gone into the game with the attitude we showed after half time maybe we'd have had some reward tonight and been that bit cheerier?

Unsurprisingly a number of posters aren't exactly optimistic after a sustained period of poor results and performances. I don't know why you seem so shocked.

Please forgive all of us who are drunk off when we lose in such a predictable manner.

Tonight's result may not mean much if we still make the play offs, which we should, but the performances don't suggest we have the capability to win through in the play offs, when we can't score and can't defend.

Our strikers have returns that suggest a relegation side, not a promotion winning side. If people are happy with that, then fine.

I'm struggling to understand why the players are so F@#king slow to start and get stuck into games from the off.  I think that the 2nd leg against Cambridge was more on the players mind tonight than the bread and butter game we needed the points from.

We have proven fire power at this level, the problem is midfield, no balance and no midfield general / play maker.  To many players getting an automatic start when they are either off form or not good enough.  I just hope that the play off's don't slip through our fingers, sadly on this form it will.  

The worse thing I heard tonight was from my lad who was at the game, he said that this side looked like the Town of recent seasons, clueless, 2nd to the ball and not good enough, we should have been out of the game by half time.

Yup! Midfielder has been major prob for as long as I can remember now and yet it never seems to be addressed or even identified as a problem by the manager!

BEFORE last nights match i was talking to several fans who have already made the same decision which surprised me somewhat.

PS: What was the attendance last night?

Quoted from Chrisblor

Unsurprisingly a number of posters aren't exactly optimistic after a sustained period of poor results and performances. I don't know why you seem so shocked.

I don't understand your definition of "sustained". Exactly three weeks ago as of last night our "poor" team played Cambridge off the park in, if what we are led to believe on here is true,  the ONLY important competition we play in.
Four days after Cambridge we thumped Tamworth 4-1- a mere 17 days ago.
I wasn't there last night and am loathe to read too much into the commentary of a game I didn't see but we apparently had much the better of the second half.

So from the available evidence it would appear the sustained run is two admittedly poor results sandwiched between the same number of good performances and a game where we appeared to be worth a draw.

Why not invoke the current "in-phrase" and call it an unprecedented run of bad results-who knows Cameron, Miliband, Clegg and Farage may turn up in their wellies to offer sympathy and "support".

The reaction from some on here is bordering on hysteria...

I don't call six points from six league games hysteria barralad , I call that a worry
