Feeling very nervous now, do we know the team yet?

One change, Doig in for Pearson. Tounkara back on the bench as well.

Same here.   Not sure I can handle this lol

need a drink to calm my nerves.  

I had an idea Paul would go for Doig!  Glad to see Tounkara on the bench too.

Up the Mariners !!

We can win this today.(yahoo)

Wish i could have a drink meza but i can't due to being at work later, i just really hope the team don't let themselves and us fans down, i am a lot more nervous than the Newport game last season!

C,Mon Town we can do this!

We will win this today, it's our season.

UTM

I really think if we win today we can beat Cambridge i just hope we play the full 90 mins  like we did in the 2nd half on Thursday! COME ON YOU MARINERS!!!

come on you mariners

In new york with the only way to follow on here good luck to town and everyone going today hope to be looking forward to visiting wembley later UTM

Town fans in fine voice, god I'm so nervous here! I don't think I've ever felt like this before not even that Fulham game!  :o

Absolutely bricking it!!

Oh no!  :(

flipping male masturbation OFF

Facking `ell !!
What a fook up by McKeown

We need to stop them from playing! They are on top in the midfield, Really hope those missed chances at Blundell park don't cost us.  :o

Our midfield has decided not to turn up again

is this the same town team that played on thursday!! come on town get into them

We need to play simple football like gatehead we are just once again hoofing it to lewis and not getting anywhere.

That's terrible Disley, second imminent?

Started reasonably but very very poor now. We are doing nothing.

We are looking so poor from Thurs night.
FFS!! Wake up lads and get into them or we`ll still be in this Shitty League next season.(anger4)

Take Disley off ,get the flipping ball down and start playing some football

Come on Mariners.

Chandler running the show in mid, we give the ball away way to easily, at the moment Gateshead are the better team!

This is absolutely awful, a classic bad town performance from this season, hoofing it up, lewis cant be arsed, bad passes all over

Were so slow we need to up the tempo and get at them

Quoted from grimps

Take Disley off ,get the flipping ball down and start playing some football

... and get LJL moving about looking for the ball instead of walking around the field like a lost soul. (wallbash2)

It's not exactly a surprise so far. Launching in the general direction of John Lewis, giving the ball away cheaply and not really looking a threat. It needs to be much better than this or it'll be just like last year in the play offs. We look very short of ideas and a team without a method hoping something might turn up.

this performance so far has been excrement, in the space of 3 days we have gone from looking like one of the best teams in the play offs to the worst!

I agree

GET THE F@@KING BALL ON THE FLOOR !!

Dire, dire DIRE! Thought we might give it a good go after Wednesday display but oh no, this is a bog standard Paul Hurst slow, boring and inept display, and I use "display" in the very loosest meaning of the word. Pathetic I'm afraid.  :-/
On a positive we can't play this badly second half can we????

We've gone from out playing then last week to inexplicably dumping it forward. Horrible to watch.

Surely, this isn`t the same Grimsby side that played on Thurs?

Where`s the passion / commitment / belief gone ?

There`s fook all in the team today that`s whats so hurting.

Were so slow we need to up the tempo and get at them

I dont want to be negative but I just cant see us scoring, we are so predictable. 45 minutes left for hurst to keep his job!

Well.....completely outclassed and outplayed there...terrible way for them to score but they class above.

The Shop should not see the second half IMO, awful.

Time to earn your wages Hurst !!!

Another half like that and we'll have a new manager next week

It is hard to watch I agree. Really poor.

Hurst shouldn't have to say much at HT - now the guys who've experienced promotion like Disley, Hatton and Kerr should be stepping up

truly awful fist half performance, our passing has been atrocious, aimless long balls, clearance out of play.....

just shocking...will do well to get a chance let alone a goal here

Shite.

kerr and disley gone missing in the most important match of the season.

intercourse sake.

sounds same same. hoof it up to lewis  :'(

We really need a Chandler type player in our squad, advantage to Gateshead, now,  we need to come out and take this game by the scruff of the neck and put Gateshead on the back foot. But will we?

Woeful. But it can only get better. We always play well for at least half a game.  Believe!

the only players working are Boyce and Rodman.

Is that not what many have been saying for YEARS now??? :-/

flipping awful, that is all.

Its so bad i wonder if we're throwing the game on purpose, really feel for the fans at the game, i know fans can get the team going but town this season have come up with a special brand of atmosphere killing performances

Hatton receives ball then aimlessly launches the ball 60 yards out of play.

Doig receives ball then aimlessly launches the ball 60 yards out of play.

Repeat.

Too many long balls and if LJL was up for it then it might be a little different but when everything is going through him were getting nowhere.   Bring Oumare on for LJL.

Quoted from moosey_club

The Shop should not see the second half IMO, awful.

Couldn't agree more! Shockingly inept display from a so-called professional footballer!!! The worst moment being when he jumped unchallenged and still failed to head the ball!!!

Quoted from moosey_club

Time to earn your wages Hurst !!!

My sentiments exactly !!

For a player of his size and height, he`s contributed very little. He just aimlessly wanders around letting other players do all the work.
Lazy player today.

I'll predict that in the second half there will be lots of huffing and puffing from town with no end product, then we will get caught with a sucker punch 2nd goal. typical town

Commentator and newport manager saying we need to change our shape, im like "shape? We don't do shapes! Thats too much like a tactic, we might sub a striker or two in the last 10 minutes if were lucky"

Thanoj and Tonk on for the front 2, match them up in midfield with Tonks pace

Story of the season so far a total lack of pace from town especially in midfield, lewis passing poor and poses no goal threatvwhilst Hannah sneaks around without contributing anything. Boyce MOM so far and Doig looks fine but no threat going forward. Why when midfield are struggling goes Nielson not tuck in for ten minutes and help out?

Hope they prove me wrong but at the minute we are going down without a whimper, I would bring Tonka on to give us some strength up top hopefully he can get and hold the ball up but probably get token minutes once we are two down.

Be positive Paul its now or never mate

Totally agree moosey, he has done nothing but i bet you he stays on!

Boring predictable hoofball of the very worst kind.


I hate the way Hurst has us play the game and watching their players pass it around us is so frustrating. Going out with a whimper unless we can up our game 100%.

Get Tounkara on NOW, not in the 80th minute.

45 mins for his team to save his job. Will they or won't they? You tell me

John-Lewis has feet made of rubber today, pointless playing it to his feet so the ball is just being lumped. Poor.

I'm a Shop fan but agree he has been awful. But lets not forget the 10 other inept displays on show.

They can't pass a tur d!!!

Plan A boot it up field to Lewis!!!

Plan B boot it up field to Lewis!!!

We're making them look good!

Where's the FIGHT and commitment!

Great support, but haven't heard it mentioned on BT Sports!!

Well, it can't get worse can it? Really can't see that much to be scared of from Gateshead despite the help we offered them,  so I still think this is recoverable

if we dont make it and gateshead get beat in the final get rid of PH and do whatever necessary to bring in Mills

Quoted from alvinghammariner

I'm a Shop fan but agree he has been awful. But lets not forget the 10 other inept displays on show.

Be fair defence has done little wrong with Boyce and Doig both doing well especially given lack of protection Kerr and Disley provide. Must be great having a midfield that can actually run around!

Quoted from TAGG

Bring in Mrs fcking Mills!!!! for people of a certain age that one!!

NO change !

Justin edinburgh seems to know what we need after 45, whys it taken hurst a season
Just frustrated, i know were still in it

I actually dont think we are out of it as despite the flow of trafic they have not created anything really, LJL and Hannah are pressing in isolation which makes it easy for the back three four to progress up and then the additional midfielder, Chandler, can get space between Kerr and Disley....

FFS Cmon TOWN!!!!!!

We just hoof the ball up and give away possession way to easy!

thats been the way since xmas.
why wont he change things when we are playing excrement go 4 3 3 FFS try somthing you boring twit

P!ssed off big time. Unable to go to Gateshead, I ended up going to the Imperial, where Man United fans sang / chanted Gateshead before the game even kicked off. Annoyed me big time, I had to leave before I got my head kicked in for mouthing off at them all. Tell ya, never have I felt like fighting in my life, but those so called Man U fans, p!ssed me off big time a kick in would of been worth it. And then Gateshead go and score to make things worse. God I hate pride-less tossers.  :-/

Now at home hoping to see the Mariners online and hoping they've turned it around.  :o

Bring in Mrs fcking Mills!!!! for people of a certain age that one!!

Now she`s a blast from the past.(icon_mrgreen)

5 mins of the second half gone and we still haven't strung two passes together

Epic squeaky bum time

WHAT A flipping sharp object THE REF IS!

A player sent off for a graze on the end of his toe???????????!!? intercourse SaKE

We have it all to do now!

Neilson sent off

The footballing gods definitely hate GTFC

They'll just pass it around us now keep possession

intercourse OFF YOU girl private REFEREE!

What the hell!!!! that was no way in any shape or form a card............ this ref is almost as shocking as our passing.

WTF !!!
Ref got that well wrong IMO.
No way was that tackle " studs up " and no intention to hurt.

It was no way a red card.

We need to change this right now!

Get in!!!

Thankyou Lino(thumbup)
At least someone today knows the rules of the game.

flipping get in

flipping yesssssssssssss aswad thomas is a hero

Disleyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
1-1

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Great vision from the shop to spot Disley... :P

Dizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Don't throw it away please!!!!!

Time to concentrate now

Good lad Dizza

This is better from Town, that was a foul on JLL!

Sounds like town have come to life all of a sudden, let's take advantage of any chances we create

Fantastic play by Aswad.
Kept on his feet instead of taking the easy option of going to ground.
Played a lovely ball in to the box and sooper disley finished it off with a goal.

JLL was to honest, he should of gone down!

need to do this in normal time

Maybe im crazy but as it stands if i subbed a striker id go hannah off for tonk, lewis has come alive atm

Kerr still looking sluggish

Sam Hatton booked.

Mckeown not at his best today.

Need some sort of shape change i think, too easy to get down our end

Gateshead are a similar team to Town, play pretty football at times but not much end product.

Cummon Town, get stuck into them !!(yahoo)(groupwave1)

If we get to Wembley would it mean Neilson misses out?

Hatton off!

Cheers Hatton girl private

Hatton now off for a stupid foul

ridiculous..........only hope is pens now

Idiot.

Last time we will see Hatton in Town shirt hopefully!

Worst nightmare of a playoff semi final, can we hang on for penalties? Well either everything went against us today, or were going to pull out one of the greatest victories of all time in english football

Fyfield and Thanoj on Hannah and Kerr off.

Game over!!  Bye bye Town

Not closed down quick enough.

Game over

Balls

Should never have been allowed to get a shot like that, nobody closed him down!

You have to say Gateshead have wanted this more, Them missed chances at BP have come back to haunt us! Story of our season really!

Season spoiled by a tool ref - excrement ground, excrement Gateshead part-time fans, excrement ref, excrement league

Hurst out and I hope the Ref dies on the way home

FFS, how can a team be so inconsistent?

see you next season Blundell park.

paul hurst I hope I wont.

Pathetic and embarrassing. And utterly predictable.

Well all I can say is thanks ref, well done, you acheived in one game what all your cronies have been trying to do all season

Not good enough yet again!

Gutted for you boys. Next year no mistakes you've got to win it!! All the best.

no compliants, ill discipline from Hatton who should never play for us again.  How the intercourse a seasoned pro like that makes not just one but two ridiculous challenges in no mans land is just a disgrace.

Yes it was a bad red card on Scott, but we were insipid for 60 minutes and that stems from the manager.  

All in all a massive let down for a hardy bunch of fans who deserve so much better than that.

Red card ruined our chances which wasn't even a red I really do think theres some form of conspiracy pearson booked after 3 mins we get nothing from the refs but that was awful.

intercourse this excrement league with excrement clubs, excrement refs and Sam Hatton.

I feel so deflated, Hatton let us down again,  Paul Hurst has took us as far as he can, we need a change!

Gutted

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

Well all I can say is thanks ref, well done, you acheived in one game what all your cronies have been trying to do all season

and thanks to sam hatton to take us down to 9 men.

Only GTFC could contrive a defeat like that.

Hurst can intercourse right off now and get a more progressive manager in. I said when Scott went, we should have got rid of Hurst too and got Mills in.

Boring pointless hoofball with strikers who are nowhere near good enough for this football club. I am willing to bet that more than half of our games this season have finished without the strikers getting on the score sheet.

Unfortunately poor ref decisions will give PH the excuses he needs. Lets hope Cambridge win as why should the league want to accept a team that cannot muster 1000 home fans whilst the likes of Bristol Rovers, wrexham, town and many more ex football league clubs who actually have decent crowds home and away play in this god forsaken league.

It should be wholesale changes with only Pearson and Mckeown retained, appreciate others may have contracts but nobody I want to watch next year.

i hope hatton felicitations off for next season he's so slow, useless and woeful

Thanks Sam now you can fu(k off back down south.  

Bottom line is we are just not good enough, Gary mills stuck to a plan and it paid off!

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

i hope hatton felicitations off for next season he's so slow, useless and woeful

He won't be here next season.

Why an earth neilson high fived hatton is beyond me if it was me id would ripped him a new anus

I'm a fan of Hatton but he let us down big time today.

We were poor today yes, but I think that had McKeown not had a Colgan moment and Neilson not been sent off, they probably wouldn't have scored - their goals came because we had 9 men and the first one was obvioulsy McKeown's member up.

All if's and buts Tom but the bottom line is we haven't been ruthless enough and that has cost us!

Quoted from Meza

Why an earth neilson high fived hatton is beyond me if it was me id would ripped him a new anus

Probably because they are team mates and stand by each other.....Hurst has an excuse for 45 mins of this tie.......we were never consistent enough to win the league which is what you have to do to guarantee to get out of this league and for the second time we were not good enough over two legs of a two legged tie.
First tie although dominant we did not create enough goalscoring opportunities, that has cost us more than anything. Neilson was unlucky, Hurst cannot be blamed for that but at least that brought some fight out in us which Hurst could not inspire, Hatton was stupid, Hurst cannot be blamed for that either really.
We wasted the first 45 mins today by sitting off, Mckeown fvcked up, Hurst cannot be blamed for that.

Without the sendings off who knows as they didnt particularly threaten with the tip tappy football they had and we may have ultimately succeeded.

We have the summer merry go round to look forward to now, new squad, new manager (probably, by xmas at least).

Quoted from ginnywings

I'm a fan of Hatton but he let us down big time today.

A fan within our team or do you think hes a genuinely good right back because I just don't see how you can think that, even when he's good hes never great, Bignot not great either but when hatton lost his place and bignot first came in don't think there was any qualities hatton brought that we missed. He's too slow and often his balls forward are too high and slow so he ends up giving it away alot. Really his main flaw is telegraphing his passes.

There has been to many players in our team who can have 1 good game but then very average for the next 3 or 4 games and that has cost us!  Lack of consistency and not ruthless enough in the final third, out of interest who is our top scoring striker?  There lies part of our problem!

Quoted from cmackenzie4

All ifs and buts Tom but the bottom line is we haven't been ruthless enough and that has cost us!

I agree we haven't been ruthless enough, but the scoreline definitely flatters them because they didn't actually have any chances before Neilson was sent off.

For me the only striker we've got that's worth keeping is Tounkara and he's not even our player; I'd keep all the centre backs, Thomas, Rodman, McKeown, Neilson, Kerr, Thanoj, McLaughlin, and Disley. But this is totally dependent on who's in charge and who they want to keep for a potential change of system.

In my opinion I would keep Hurst because there's not really anyone realistically we can get with a much better record than Hurst - the cup success this year shouldn't be forgotten for example, there aren't many non-league teams who get to the 3rd round of the FA Cup, and we were so close to beating Huddersfield. We have been incredibly frustrating this year, but be careful what you wish for - if we get someone in like Burr to play passing football, people will move from moaning about boring football to moaning about trying to walk it into the net like we had under Buckley. The grass isn't always necessarily greener on the other side!

Yeah, i do think he's a decent right back at this level, but it doesn't matter now. He won't be here next season.

Keep

McKeown
Thomas
Pearson (under contract)
Rodman
Thanoj
Disley
Hannah (under contract)

the rest can go

Surprised to see all the blame being thrown around and McKeown escaping it. I thought he was poor in the first leg, he basically had 3 things to do all night yet didn't move for the goal, mis-controlled a back pass and whacked it into touch then rushed off his line like an idiot but got away with it (that time). Maybe it's the constant stream of rubbish we've had between the sticks that makes us think he's world class but I do wonder just how much better than Hedge he is, especially of late.

Soft goal conceded started the rot, ridiculous red card, stupid challenge/red card, wonder goal and finally a roll into an empty net to take the p**s. Never a dull moment in Town games.

But it happens all too often Tom. If's and But's and what might have been. We lost that tie on Thursday, with our inability to score when we were on top. Teams seem to score against us from very few chances. Every shot flies in yet we never hit shots like that. Our strikers are rubbish, no getting away from that and Hurst signed them and coaches them.

Fantastic saves but he also dropped a very soft cross prior to it. He was poor over the two legs for me.

I agree with you  there Robocod, I would like to see Hedge have a few starts next season,it might keep Macca on his toes.. Mckeown is a good shotstopper but his overall keeping leaves something to be desired,not commanding in the box enough for me and his distribution is sometimes lacking. I was very impressed with Hedge in pre season matches.

I agree we didn't make the most of the chances we've had this season to make it much easier for ourselves, but I don't think sacking Hurst would get us anywhere. We'd just be left with Dave Moore/Chris Doig in charge until we can get our 7th choice in in early August - who would want to come here that we would actually want? We aren't going to be paying much in compensation, and there's no-one I can think of off the top of my head who is available that is any better. We'd just be stuck with one of the usual suspects like Gary Brabin or Paul Buckle who get suggested everytime a manager gets sacked at this level.

You are so right.

He would have taken half time action to address the problems. Funnily enough, like a dying hamster, PH may have been right to let things continue - but then the referee intervened to make sure that the hamster wouldn't live.
