come on you mariners

c'mon you mariners!!!!!!

HERE WE GO, C,mon the Mariners.

Well chuffed,  23:45 here in Dubai. Sat watching the game on tv.

Sounded a good chance by town, Sounds a decent start.

FFS, Stonewall penalty for town denied. :-/

And, by the sounds of it, a blatant foul that was a definite yellow goes unpunished. FFS, some of these refs are f***ing cr@p.

I've got it on the box and Disley was lucky not to get booked. He went down far too soft. Never a penalty.

Interesting. Why didn't the ref book Disley then if he felt he was looking for it? It was either a foul (and a pen) or a dive (and a yellow). Both Buckley and Tondeur felt it was a penalty.

I'm watching as well don't think there was any contact and lucky not to get booked

Sounds like Wrexham coming back into it a bit at present, Like chaos says, Buckley and Tondeur said it was a penalty.

I was twitching for the ref to give a penalty when I first saw it but looking at the replay, I think it was a dive. The ref had a decent view of it as well.

How do Wrexham look TFM ?

Average I'd say but we're about the same. Wrexham seem to have come into the game a bit more since Morrell went off. No real threat from either side I'd say as of yet.

Cheers mate, From the commentary at the minute it seems a goal either way could win this.

we're struggling a little but defence doing ok

Pond Man of the match so far, excellent tackles. Reckon we are shaky when counter attacked.

C'mon town...........we can win this.mwe need to win this.

Many there chaps?

If Cook had put that into Hannah's path instead of being greedy i'm pretty sure that would have been in the back of the net. A wasted opportunity.

Half time 0.0

Wrexham on top. Their 3 in midfield outnumbering us and allowing them to keep possession easier.

We can't keep the ball and have started to struggle to get it off them in the last 10/15 minutes.

Hopefully more to come from us in the 2nd half.

2nd half and we'll be better: 3-0 to us at full-time

Can see us snatching this

Wrexham have definitely been the better side towards the end of the first half and were unlucky not to score from a cross punted deep into the box. Our best chance so far has been a ball put over the top of Hannah who got a great first touch but didn't manage to put enough zip and direction on the finish. It was too low, stretched their keeper but it was probably going wide and the keeper looked like he had it covered anyway.

Hopefully we can improve in the second half. I wouldn't say we're playing badly but they certainly look the more likely to get something at the minute.

Are we shooting towards the pontoon ?

Quite frankly I don't see the "Wrexham on top". The TV said that but we have 66% possession on BBC sport and I see that. You could argue they have challenged our keeper more that we've challenged theres, but we have created a few chances that we could have done better with. We seem the more positive.

Cook could have teed up Hannah again. He tried to go it alone, again. Stop being so greedy. Team game. Plank.

Cook needs to up his game, we just don't look threatening enough. Cmon Town UTMM.

fuckin beautiful   yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Hannah 1-0

that has possibly cost John Fenty an extra £5,000 :)

GET IN!!!!!!!! Great goal.

He just needs a sniff and bang! 1 - 0! UTM! Awesome Hannah!

We have to sign Hannah, He is quality.

Sing Ross Hannah......

Both of Thomas's touches were fantastic there - one to take it past the defender, one an inch-perfect cross. Beautiful!

Totally agree, If he signs he could become a town favourite, We have to get him.

Couldn't have said it better :)

Good pressure from Town, Totally different team from last season, It's great to see us pushing for another goal and not sitting back inviting pressure.

nervous anyone?

Great result for Town that, Will bring us great confidence beating Wrexham, A good start for the Christmas period, Another 9 points from 9 would be the icing on the cake,  ;) Hope Braintree do us a massive favour tomorrow.

Well done Town.

MARINERSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSS GREAT WIN

Superb :D

I wasn't well enough to go tonight (got one of those horrible bugs going around), but that result has cheered me up a little!

Now just to keep it going over the rest of the tough seasonal fixtures...

Won 5 of our last 6 at home in all comps (after it was said our home form was becoming a problem).

Kept 6 clean sheets in our last 7 games in all comps.

I guess Wrexham don't know that green is unlucky in fishing towns  :)
Fantastic touch from Aswad, great goal.

We are top of the league,

We are top of the league,

AND  I saw aaron, if he was wearing a santa suit  ;D

What do we need to do to keep Neilsen?

Great last game for him - super team effort all round.

Ah, well, back to work - hide the laptop - thank God for streaming tv !

Well pleased watching that :)

I was unable to make it tonight as was Ill but tbf it was good to watch the game in a different view but scared now we are favourites but come on town let's do it and go all the way

The best thing was the hard work the players put in for a full 90 mins

Nielsen going to Luton Town

Fantastic result, UTM

Good result

Very even game between two good sides that cancelled each other out. Wrexham edged the first half, we had the second and it took one moment of quality to be the difference.

Thankfully it went our way.

Get in there, lets hope Newport don't win tomorrow.

RH just announced that they won't be getting a post match reaction from either of the managers or a player. Anyone know why?

Good second half. As the commentators kept saying, Scott and Hurst obviously got us to press them better second half which worked for us.

Dis and Del Boy got stuck in to their midfield, and we got Neilson on the ball a bit more.

Special mentions for me should go to Neilson who worked as hard as anyone out there when it could've been easy for him to slack off a bit in his last game. And Miller who continues to come in from the cold and put in solid performances.

I thought the game as a whole summed us up really - solid at the back, and likely to score if we create a chance going forward.

The more the second half wore on i was thinking to myself - if we just create one good chance i fancy us to win this.

Great result, gritty performance. Crowd amazing as per usual. What was the official attendance?

I'm guessing it's probably something to do with premier sports and the tv cameras being there. Perhaps it's contractual reasons.

Probably premier sports, did they give one after other TV matches?

Hurst gave an interview after the game on the TV, as did Hannah and Pond.

well done town great win !!
really happy with this one

now that the lonees won,t be there for the rest of dec we will need to make sure that we don,t get complacent utm ;D

Right. Can you summarise what they said?

4,302  128 wrexham fans

4302 I think. Good effort, especially this time of year. Hopefully some of the 'floating' fans will be back for more.

* Pete beat me to it!

Quoted from chaos33

No cause I can't remember :p

Hannah hopes he can stay, loves it here and wants to stay.

Hurst said it was a tight game. Wrexham a very good side. Christmas day will be better after a win.

Summit like that.

Its christmas !!!!!!!

Early finish for commentators, gone on the pis s   ;D

Matt Dean and John Tondeur have just said that the managers wont speak to them  tonight due to Tondeur's tweet earlier in the day about Shaun Pearson being ill, and thereby giving away information to the opposition.

careless talk costs points

Not tonight it didn't  :)

Journalist in journalism shock!

Seems a bit peevish to me. Couldn't they just have a quiet word with Tondeur and still do their after match duty?

intercourse it dont care about hearing from  them if we got tonked then yeah but we won so its all good !

Doesn't Tondeur often spout off about the goings on at Town on Twitter? Maybe they have had a quiet word with him on a previous occasion.

Yeah maybe so. Just takes the edge of it for me. Spoils a great result a little bit. Let's be honest - we've had these tantrums before.

It certainly seems that the managers and Tondeur don't quite click.
