Fleming;
Hatton, Thomas, S Pearson, Miller;
Niven, Disley, Thanoj,
Neilson, Marshall; Cook

Subs Wood, Rankine, Hannah, G Pearson, Southwell

4:3:3 - interesting.

Hope Fleming does well - he's been very patient.

UTMM

Wow 4 strikers on the bench

Southwell unlucky not to start I think. He seems to have been doing well of late coming on as a sub.

Thought Soares would be on the bench to cover wingers, as we have no winger cover or midfield cover, if a midfielder gets injured I guess it would be 4-4-2 having said that if Nielson or Marshall get injured etc it would be a striker on.

Strange bench, 4 strikers and a full back! Surprised to see no Ford or Soares! Think that days a lot about where there Grimsby Town careers are headed!

Any updates how we doing

Cummon Town !!

Still 0-0 mate, very small crowd and nobody is in a rush to tire themselves out and go for a lead. Town appear to have most the ball but no chances or any goal mouth aciton to note as of yet.

Yer the games "not really in second gear yet" i don;t think we have too much to worry about yet, however i'm sure if Scott gets the impression that Town are not taking it seriously enough, then he is more than likely to voice his views at half time lol.

zzzzzzzz....wha?.....oh, cook just hit the post.

He likes hitting the post does cookie get this first goal and well be better, I read the they played fleetwood and they only managed to win in the 95th min.

Quoted from Doctor Sanchez

zzzzzzzz....wha?.....oh, cook just hit the post.

Yer massively boring ha ha, Cook should have put that away, i'm sure we'll get one soon, get Marshall earning some free kicks so Hatton can smash one in :P

Anyone else's commentary gone over to the Scunny game??

Quoted from davmariner

Anyone else's commentary gone over to the Scunny game??

It did, now I can't get anything at all.

Radio Humbershite

comms gone

par for the station :(

Gone on Mariners Player too :(

Yup completely gone :(
he did say they're aware though so sure we'll get it back .

Radio Humberside is an absolutely excrement radio station.(wallbash2)(sniper)

Half time 0-0

pretty poor half

Back on!!!

C,Mon Town lets hope we can up it 2nd half.

We do we seem to labour so much i front of goal. Like Alan Buckley said, we should be beating these. Even under strength we should be doing something better than this. I still wonder bout this teams 'belief' at times.

They are defending stubbornly obviously they want the replay and extra cash but its been all town just not clever enough to break them down same old same old

Sort it out Town !!
We can win this game!!

UTM.

I'm sure our superior fitness and the share fact we have 'full-time' profressionals will ensure we'll win the match during the next 45 minutes.

anyone know when the 2nd round will be if we get through ?

Hannah and rankine on

Sorry meant to put get Hannah and rankine on my bad

This performance sounds like total bottom

Any goals yet ?

STILL 0-0

I'd be happy to go out

Buxton should have scored from a corner.

Disappointed with the poor performance but we can't be doing with a replay on Tuesday night.

Scunny 4-0 down at Donny. *titter*

Scunny 4-0 down at Donny. *titter*

Free kick in the D. C'mon Hatton.

Nielson instead...decent attempt.

Bit of a wet performance from Town

What is the gate today: anybody know?

cant imagine there being many over  1,000 there to be honest...

Water load of shite

Poor performance by Town, we really should have beaten this team.
Let`s hope we can do better on Wednesday.

Jeeeez

drown the players in mineral water

0-0 FT

Dismal. Thought we may be at the point where we have fringe players chomping at the bit for a first team shirt.

Well, that sounded good.(anger3)

Isn't about time these bloody managers sort out how to break a team down ffs sometimes they do show there managerial inefficiencies  

Replay is a pain in the bottom. Would rather have lost.

Can't say I am overly bothered though. Some positives are that Rankine got some game time with his new team mates, 1000+ attendance should hopefully mean we didn't lose too much money plus no injuries or suspensions.

Not the only dismal performance and result this season against a small team/PT team/team at the bottom of the league or from a lower league.  We can't break them down or don't have the strength or guile to do so.   Not encouraging for the rest of the season when we have similar games.

Quoted from Meza

Isn't about time these bloody managers sort out how to break a team down ffs sometimes they do show there managerial inefficiencies  

Calm down and look at the table. We messed around with the formation and some part time team played well in their cup final. No big deal.

What date will the replay be?

Quoted from Alfie

What date will the replay be?

This Wednesday i think.

snigger, chortle, titter  ;D

Wednesday, I'll be there weather permitting

Quoted from Alfie

What date will the replay be?

Who cares ?  ;)

Tthat was one of the strangest, half arssed game i've seen in a long time.

Was it a case of under estimating Buxton's abilities? Would appear that way in my opinion, "football is a funny old game." Though I can't judge the performance because I wasn't there. I don't like that saying from naive football fans, "we should beat teams like this." That's just like I said, naive.

I ain't too bothered by the FA trophy and don't feel so gutted for not being able to be there today now. But will have to up our game in the replay. UTM.

On the possitives, we're top of the league.  ;)

Annoyed yes, but it can have a negative effect to players mindsets oh well I must admit I ain't really that bothered about this cup just want us to do well regardless of the fixture.  

Did Fleming go up for any corners ?  :)

Quoted from grimsby pete

Who cares ?  ;)

I don't particularly but Buxton is a nice, little trot from Manchester so, as my team are playing, i'll make the short trip.

Not a great day for Town especially with having to go to Buxton this week now, Lets hope nobody picks up an injury at there place.

Quoted from Gary Haddock

Was it a case of under estimating Buxton's abilities?

Can't a doddle breaking these teams down but tbh it sounds like we played completely sh1t !

Maybe was aiming for a tactical loss then? Throwing the game away sort of speak. But didn't go to plan as Buxton didn't take their chances? Makes sense to me, get nocked out of the trophy and focus on the league.

Quoted from Meza

What a load of utter bollox mate . We should've played the full reserve team . The fa trophy is nothing but a hindrance to us this season . What the intercourse do we want a replay for which could cost us players for league games

excrement game.


Fao girl privates in yellow jackets..why all of a sudden have u stopped fans from upper findus going back into the ground when the gates open in injury time?

I've been doing this for years so I miss the rush down the stairs...ridiculous


Apparently I'm a marked man now ha ha so I got told by that lanky ash? silly girl private

tbh think you're going a bit OTT or "deep" there Gary.
Didn't Cooky hit the post anyway ?
Think he's a promising player but doubt he'd have that degree of precision tbh.
Apologies for the sarcasm, no offence intended !

Obviously wasn't there so can't comment on the game but let's be honest, not the first time lesser opposition have shut up shop (or worse).

Ladies please !

Yeh maybe, I wasn't there so just asking others for their opinion. Have to be open minded though. I guess it's because I don't care about the trophy this season being why I said what I did.

P.S. not being funny.

I think Scott and Hurst will be out to for revenge and to redeem themselves in the replay.  ;)

No worries, wouldn't be suprised if they're out for revenge in the dressing room or in Sunday training !
I know "it's only the trophy" but wouldn't like to be in that dressing room. (or maybe I would just to see it)

Yeh I agree. It's only the trophy and though I ain't bothered too much, if we are to go out then I want to go out fighting.

Quoted from aaron rattray

Did anybody see me?

I will not rest until I have seen you arron,

I will ask every town fan at Ebbsfleet ,

"  Are you arron ?  " ;D

Surely we should be keeping the players happy? Morale and all that. It just seems stupid to be honest we are top of the league with a smallish squad ffs. Stuff the cup, the players are probably thinking the same as the majority of fans.

Extra training.....

Probably our best performance of the season.  Yeah, we sat 10 players behind the ball in the first half but you know, rather that than a 7-0 spanking some of your fans were predicting.  We did the same at Guiseley, except it didn't work there!  Genuinely can't believe we got away with a goalless draw.  I'm bloody delighted.  Some more ££££ for us as well! Earned around £3-4000 today.  Disappointed with our turnout of 94, quite low for us.

All the best for the rest of the season (Wednesday aside!)

Shows that performances like that aren't acceptable, whatever the competition.

Hello disgruntled Grimsby fans,

I was filming the game today as I run BFCTV.net so many thanks to Dale Ladson and all other officials, stewards etc I met today. Including the Grimsby fans I met in the Blundell Park Hotel before and after the game. Absolutely great co-operation and friendship. (We didn't go in the Imperial).

It was an excellent view from the top of your main stand! I've had a good work out today toing and froing from the gantry.

This is what I recently put on the Buxton FC forum;

Quoted Text

Very professional performance as you will see when the highlights are done. With the high viewpoint you will see how well we kept our shape at the back AND the tremendous physical effort the lads put in.

I thought Grimsby overplayed at times and I expected a bit more from them but that may be down to a bit of complacency on their part and not relishing the more physical aspects of the game that Buxton always bring; allied with an increasing ability to catch Grimsby on the break that proves how fit the whole squad is.

Went through lots of water on the way back home and its still chucking it down. However the game may still be on Wednesday as the forecast is a lot drier after today. Our pitch is not as good as yours :)) so your players need to pull their fingers out and get stuck in because if they don't they may well get beat.

From the tone of this forum I suspect you want your manager to play the same lot, get beat as worst case, but talk about promotion as the target. I feel the same way about our League Cup and DSC (Derbyshire Senior Cup) as IF we win our games in hand ([url=http://evostikleague.pitchero.com/tables.php]look at the table -link[/url]) WE should be fighting for promotion also.

Lets hope we both get there.

All the best.

To be honest I'm wondering how many a reserve side ready, eager & willing and more skillful could put past you.
Presumably we're fitter, quicker and younger (and possibly stronger) and more durable than you ex pros lot too?

Not sure if Wednesday's too soon for you ?
By the sound of it, might take you a good week to get your breath back !  
Would be no such worries for us we'd be fresh as a daisy...

To be honest I'm not even fully convinced you'd be able to get out your own half or get 1 shot on target, let alone score !
Or if you did you might be 3 down by the time you'd realised !

Perhaps the only bottle you've really got is one with a Buxton label stuck onto it ? ;)
That's a "nice shape" too !  :)

Anyway honestly and sincerely pleased you enjoyed your day out, hope you made the most of it (while you could ?).
Who knows perhaps you'll even score or get to the 2nd round next year too ?  

Anyway thanks for the link and best wishes... (I guess you may need it !  ;))

All the very best.

Bloody Hell 80's do you understand the dictionary definition of "Patronising"?

It's called reverse psychology, good old fashioned team talk and banter.

Don't get me wrong he sounds like a very good, fair and nice bloke. Even offered us the highlights too ?

But let's be honest here as well...
THEY started it all off with their mind games in the GET which I didn't rise to and just let go.
But now they've come on here GIVING IT LARGE again and tbh, feel like they deserve a taste of their own medicine.

Whilst I don't want to take any risks with the league, I'll tell you one thing...
I would absolutely LOVE IT if we sent a weakened reserve side down there to beat them.

And I think we can, in fact we KNOW we can !
So what are we waiting for ?...

Let's rally the troops chomping at the bit to get going with 100% commitment, desire and energy and show these cocky g1ts how it REALLY done.

Let's send a weakened reserve side down there and fookin HAMMER them !!!!!  (anger3) (smash) (anger3)

I mean this sincerely: Have you been drinking?

Not at all.
tbh I'm just fed up no-one seems to have any faith in our reserve players and automatically assumes they can't beat Buxton.
Can't people see
a) it's not a certainty we'd lose to Buxton by any means
and
b) the HUGE benefits it would provide if we won ? (or even if we didn't for that matter).

Someone likes Scott Neilson  :P

I liked the picture of the ball on its own in the sky. Reminded me of the days when the Telegraph ran a competition called "spot the ball" where a picture was published with the ball removed and you put a cross where you thought it was. Great fun, maybe The Trust can resurect it as a fund raiser.

I remember those days.  :)
You'd be wondering what logic to use to guess where it might be !
Great fun though and good idea, bring it back !...
