egg chasing on digital, on line its normal footy talk at the moment

So once again despite being fit and our strikers not scoring- g pearson isn't on the bench, ridicluous

It's Elding if he doesn't play he spits his dummy out.  However I heard that G Pearson is like spencer

i dont agree they have obviously gone for the work rate and/or Greg just doesnt look as good in training

will be interesting to see how many starts Thanoj gets this season

You watch them train often then ?

Quoted from Rick12

Not many, as we need Niven so his spot is taken up by Disley who is the captain.

Can hear the Scunny commentary 'underneath' this...? Bloody annoying.

Can anyone hear the scunny game in the backround aswell?

Quoted from 1739

yep

I can hear Matt Dean over the top of the online commentary, weird!

Quoted from 1739

Beat me to that

He has shut up now, thank god.

F off with the annoying scunny rubbish  :-/

Quoted from Meza

no just dont think they'd play a player just because he spits his dummy out if we do it we have a big problem as everbody would be doing it

It's fixed on mine

Scunny commentary gone off now, always thought the BBC were good at covering things up  ;)

Quoted from jointhetrust

JT's just said last 20 mins of our game will be on DAB

Sounds very poor at the moment this game.

Elding seriously needs to produce something today.

Quoted from Meza

no but as he has come through the youth I  want him to do well

"Bradley woods goes in strongly."

Oh right I thought he was talking about Pearson . G

I've never known so little input on a match thread - what's going on ?

Poor first half, lets hope the second will be better!

ok Meza

November is such a boring month.....

Marshall seems to be struggling to get into it, although in fairness he's not on his own.  Kind of expected him to be eager to prove himself though!

Wright is a dirty get, sounds like he is trying to get Town players wound up.

Come on Hannah lets put one away!


UTM

COOK on for ELDING

Another corner. Been a bit rubbish with them so far though.

Goal !!

Attendance: 1142 - 340 Town fans and the Tpwn fans are going mad!

1-0 COOK Get in

about time Cooky. UTM

Cook from another rubbish corner !! :) :)

get in!

YES!!! Well done Cook! (thumbup2)

FISH scores against the Scunts!  Matt FISH, 1-0 Gillingham!

Well in Cookie lets see this out.

YES!

Delighted for Cook - and for Town! Come on!

Lets hope that sets him away for the season. Come on Town lets get the second!

Red card for Tammy

seems abit heated

haha! Come on town, let's take advantage

This mofo is nuts!

town goal ruled offside

Perfect time to take a break from Xmas shopping!!! (In the pub ;) )

Tamworth down to 10 men! town score form the free kick through POND but disallowed for offside

Quoted from RoboCod

Red card for Tammy

Ha Ha, I read that before I heard it on Humberside on-line commentary, wondered what you were on about.

Yeah, should be clearer with names really.

Tilly subbed  :)

Tammy sees red!!! ;)

Corner !!

Set pieces are improving a bit.

Better pressure from Town, lets make it count.

They're a rough lot. Yellow for them now.

Quoted from RoboCod

?? From what i've seen of us this season, they've been our biggest threat going forward all season.
Nathan Pond top scorer...

Not in this game, from the commentary.

Think Hannah could do with a goal to boost his confidence.

Tamworth not getting away with bully boy tactics.

Attendance now given as 1042, a third of the attendance are Town fans - fantastic support.

2 mins left, Town have the ball the right end at least.

Jeez, Tamworth almost score in added time.

FT 1-0 !!

Get in, Yes, 3 points

Whooooooo!!! (groupwave1)

Yes well done town nicely played out!

:D

Get in  1-0 win, 3rd in the league now.  Not a brilliant match but a good result.

Great away support again, well done to all.

UTM

Get in!

A lovely hard fought away win is just what we needed after our mini blip. Pleased for Cook as well.

phew

Phew indeed

Get in you Mariners  'Believe' UTM  :)

The Tamworth hoodoo is finally over!

Great win Town. We've been fantastic away from home so far.

I love scrappy 1-0 wins, it shows you can grind out difficult games. Days like today could prove massive come late April/early May. Well done Andy Cook as well!  :)

Get in town! And special well done to Miller, a true proffessional.

We would be top now (on GD) if we had won last week.  On 33 points.  Still a lot of the season left to improve and deliver success.

Good solid win lads...3rd in table fuckin lovely....

Quoted from GyMariner

We're away. Makes it a lot easier. Tartan Army will be in attendance on Tuesday night - me, anyway - and down early to sample the real ale hostelries in the area.

Great result for Town, Just got in hotel and have not been able to listen to commentary or get on fishy - Well done Town, Onwards and upwards.

Were does this now leave us in the league ?

3rd place, if we win on tuesday night vs hyde we go top

3rd place, if we win on tuesday night vs hyde we go top

Are Newport/Luton not playing Tuesday?

Quoted from GyMariner

3rd place, if we win on tuesday night vs hyde we go top

As long as Newport and Luton lose.

Its now 1 defeat in 23 away games. Cant remember such a run in the past.
It seems that most on here are very positive about away fixtures which in turn has the desired effect.
When we play at home however many on here have lower expectations and that has a negative effect.
My point is if the fans emit positive thoughts and energy most of the time then the home form may improve. Its not as daft as some may think.
Positive and negative energy exists. I'm sure top teams  always have positive attitudes.
BTW I'm not related to David Icke
UTM

Thanks Lads, Can't complain at 3rd place, Let's hope we can get our act together with our home form, 4 points minimum from the next 2 games in this next week, 6 would be lovely.

Fantastic result, well done to all.  :)

Are we starting to become a serious team now ?

For me 2 questions

- Will that mean Cook now starts even though Elding seemed to play well ? (can't wait for the just back comments !)
- Why are some people still frowning thinking worse case scenarios ?!

Don't get this idea that we're jinxed at home.
Look you won't win every game even if you play well (which we did), just so happens our bad luck happened at home.
And wow shock horror twice in a row, well stranger things have happened !
But what's obviously clear is that we're regularly playing well.  

Blimey there were enough people imagining the worst away just because of the Tamworths record.
And tbf I got sucked in myself a little until looking objectively at the bare facts & getting calming inspiration from the Hurst's no panic / "not concerned in the slightest" (his own words !) attitude.
So please let's not create another home/away red herring as if it really means anything ?

Got to hand it to Hurst, he's "Mr steady hand" in a whirlwind of natural concern and unnecessary panic.   (100)
Think we're lucky to have them both and thank god we stuck by them through the tough & early times.

Onwards and upwards...

Pleased that Andy Cook got the goal today - needs a couple for confidence !

I was working today, but Marcus Marshall sounded a handful in his first game before he ran out of steam!

Colbeck's definitely a right winger, then?

Another clean sheet, but the commentary sounded like it wasn't easy to achieve!

3rd is great - got to give credit to the decision to bring another winger in straight away - is this a real sign of intent to go full out for promotion this year?

Well IMO it's not playing at home, it's after we've just lost.
"Fooled by randomness" if you ask me ...

Quoted from 1600

I don't think it is randomness 80's.  Clearly we are set up to play effectively away from home and that doesn't naturally translate into home perfs.  Whilst recent perfs have been better than the results suggest we still haven't completely figured it out at home.  What should be of concern to the rest of the div is the distinct possibility that we figure it out and turn it around on our own patch.

Well done to S&H for what they have done to this point.  Genuinely positive for what is to come.

Agree half and half with you.

Yes we haven't FULLY worked teams out at home (and might be better on the counter) but like you say, recent perfs have been better than results suggest.
Yes you can argue "we struggle to break teams down" but had Maccs keeper not made all those saves or we hadn't conceded 3 early goals I'm sure we'd have been saying that we figured them out.

Win lose or draw surely it's only a matter of time before this statistic is put to bed for good anyway ?
Suppose part of my concern is the longer we keep keep obsessing and worrying about it, the more risk it's gonna turn into a self fulfilling prophecy.
I mean TWO games ffs, really ?!
If it gets to 4 then maybe, perhaps, but sorry I just don't buy it.

I mean it's not like we haven't already beaten two decent sides 4-1 at home (whether they came to play or not).
Or maybe that's part the reason if fans (or perhaps it's the players!) occasionally get complacent and think EVERY home game will be 3 points.

For example who expected Salisbury ? Or for us to concede 3 goals in 15 mins ? And why do we sometimes start slow ?
Who really knows but it might explain more than we think IMO....

Don't forget people that we may be third but teams around us have a game in hand and Wrexham have two games in hand!  Realistically it's fifth place if the others win that game, but still good result and we have to keep on winning.

Still better to have the points on the board than the game in hand. Plus we now don't have to go to Tamworth on a cold wet Tuesday night in Feb!
