cheers mate, I think we will do very well this year, see you next season!

Needing some team news.

Sat in the sports bar in my hotel in Lanzarote wearing. Town top.. Desperate for a win and a great season. 8)

anybody at the game? how many sharks are there?

McKeown, Toto, Pearson, Gowling, East, Disley, Clay, Monkhouse, Arnold, Bogle & Amond.

Teams here:  https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnTondeur/status/630007889772572672/photo/1

Bogle starts.

Subs - Tait, Robertson, Venney, Mackreth, Clifton

What an amazing atmosphere! there's sharks all over the place. ;D

possibly 3-5-2?

Commentary bbc humberside ?

Anyone worked out the formation

Think it will be 442 with Toto at full back

Not the team I expected. Robertson on the bench.  Expected Makreth to play

That looks like maybe 3 5 2 to me.

Bit surprised at that selection if it is 4-42, and more than a bit disappointed not to see Tait start - he's been absolutely outstanding in pre-season.

Still - have faith. Let's see how it plays.

Squad looking surprisingly threadbare. Wouldn't have expected Venney and Clifton on the bench first game but good enough side out on the pitch. Tait's omission also surprising, unless Toto is in there for his height.

C'mon Town.

Can Hear the fans  :)

If it's 352 is East on right?

Atmosphere looks awesome !

JT says 442. How has Robertson made the bench ?

JT says 442. How has Robertson made the bench ?

Dave more said hes 100% fit and one of the fittest in the squad, he can twist turn and everything fine, apparantly hes just strugglign with knocks, hitting a ball ect. so maybe hes got overt it? god i hope we're not rushing him

unbelievably MP is playing the Scumthorpe game!

Will probably only go on if he's needed. Good to see though

come on town

Phew! Just managed to finally get sound. Sounds ace atmosphere - in stereo here with AFC Wimbledon crowd sounds wafting over the railway and back garden.

Town fans are so much louder than the Kiddy lot, awesome support!

Toto showing real class, he's superb!

Monkouse shepherds a ball out of play because they had the last touch and the assistant ref gives a corner  :-/

Noise is incredible. Sounds more like a home game.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Noise is incredible. Sounds more like a home game.

If only we did get this sort of atmosphere at home...

Still if we win today then I think the positivity might well start to come back to BP, especially if those that have generated all the noise today can get the "silent majority" joining in as from Tuesday

Not the way we wanted this game to end

Well there's a lesson to be learned. flipping learn it Town! :-(

intercourse intercourse intercourse. Im off to get drunk

well, I for one will not be part of the Hurst out, we are awful, watch the crowds fall away squad. The fans are still singing, we are going to win this league

dear oh dear  :(

Devastating

As typical town as it gets.

All I can say is hope we learn from this  :(

Just about sums up Grimsby Town's luck that!!!

We never learn

Bollox. We all knew it was gonna happen so let's move on. 45 more games to go.

Failure to put an inferior team to bed again. We simply must get more ruthless if we are to win this league. Fooking gutted.

Same old same old

Two points lost but hopefully an early valuable lesson on what we need to do better this year to win this league
Credit to fans so sad to not be there
Come on Town!!

Ffs same old

Eastleigh and FGR win
Come on Town!!

Early days blah blah. Garbage.
McKeon still failing with the absolute basics, Town still seemingly made nervous, not inspired by large following, still conceding the barely couple of chances made by opposition while taking approximately 1 chance out of every 10. There's only one group of people who could spoil the whole feel good factor after a quite incredible summer and that's the actual team.

But yeah, early days, time to gel.....

We have a lot of potential this season, particularly up front with our pace, movement and one-touch passing.

One good saying in football is "score when you are top".  We missed a hatful of chance before HT. This against a poor team.

Ultimately, these misses proved decisive and cost up 2 points that we had earned.   (Ironic that in friendlies we could not stop scoring).

We need to move forward to the next game.  Can't change today.

Quoted from BeijingMariner

No reason not to keep the faith

Sounds like the performance was there today and apart from a couple of errors of judgement the three points would have been ours

On the balance of play we deserved to win today so no need for any of us to get down-hearted

We go again on Tuesday and I think we will get our first three points of the season in the bag, the first of many wins to come between now and April

Quoted from ginnywings

Yup. An all too familiar feeling tonight.  :-/

I just hope this new goalkeeping coach can see the flaws with mckeown that others haven't managed to fix

You will never, ever see a more one sided draw in your life.

James Mckeown is a very good goalkeeper at this level who just happens to have been hospitalised by a serious illness a few  weeks back.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Did that impair his ability to deal with crosses last year too?

Same old same old.

Comfortably the better team and winning comfortably - cue a defensive sub and a late equalaliser.

Chester MKII.

So frustrating hurst hasn't learned from his mistakes. The positives were the back 4, amond and monkhouse. The negative is that kiddy away should be 3 points for a team who has ambitions to win the league. They are terrible.

Feel horrendous, should of won easily as we were much the better team! But am not going to let one gutting result ruin the positivity. Lot of the same old excrement to deal with perhaps but in terms of our play that was a very good performance and shows the way for the future!

Town are excrement hsha. Never fail to intercourse up 😂😂

Jack was a defensive sub? I dont understand, or maybe you mean his role when he came on? Sorry, I wasnt there so I didnt see what you saw

He is an overrated keeper for me and was not great last season. Still not the end of the world have

2 points spunked away, 135 left to play for. Big test on Tuesday night - get over the ridiculous home opener issue and we're away.

Mackreth for Amond, Arnold going up top...not really defensive is it

Spunked away two points to the title

Quoted from GtfcGarner

Spunked away two points to the title

One point closer  ;)

Gutted. Noticed that Eastleigh started with a 4-0 thumping of Southport away. But lets take 3 points on Tuesday and move on...

If Hurst felt he absolutely needed to take a striker off it should have been Bogle who was completely knackered with fifteen minutes to go. Amond on the other hand was still chasing down our midfield's punts over the top and kept them under pressure. I'm not sure Mackreth even did anything in his time on the pitch.

Absolutely disgraceful, clearly the only point that Kiddy will get this season, how bad are we?

Come on guys get a grip ffs, it's one game and no doubt at some point we'll get a point we don't deserve.  Let's move on.

Taking an in form dangerous striker off and bring on a hard working trier of midfielder is absolutely defensive. I admit Arnold was given a free role but we definitely tried to shut up shop.

We were in total control after the sub as well as before until nobody tried to stop the cross and nobody challenged for the header. We played well today but the players take responsibility for the dropped points for me - fail to see that PH is to blame.

McKeown is the best keeper in the league, he may struggle with crosses but remember we are the conference level and sveryone has flaws. Boyle staying on and Podge off was odd, but hey we will still bounce back; Arnold was fantastic!

Was McKeown at fault for their 2nd. From the other end I thought it looked miles away from him?

#Thistownknows

The only thing this town knows is many are too over confident.

I wont get carried away with silly talk, we drew away at kiddy is it a bad point ? No not really.

Why so many expect on here expect 3 points is silly, its quite arrogant all this #thistownknows excrement.

Im only interested in winning this league this year but do i know we will win it ? No but i cant think a point away at kiddy is a bad result, its the way yet again we give 3 points away.

Sense deja vu.

I expect nothing else but the title this season  ,you might be happy to have low expectations but I'm not and I believe these players and manager need to be let known that we are not here to make up the numbers this season.Sort it out !
