Gerrrrintothem !!(whip3)

F uck em up

Thrown the lead away yet again

Bollox !!

1-1

Sort it out Town !!
Cummon lads !!

We are no threat from open play. Every moves breaks down with a poor pass or cross.

On a plus note, Kiddy threw away a one goal lead and losing 2-1 now

would a replay mean that the Kiddi game on Thursday  was off?

Dayle Southwell does it again Barnet 1 Town 2

Yes Dayle!!! Great sub. Get in!

YE!!!!! Dayle!!!

Quoted from RonMariner

would a replay mean that the Kiddi game on Thursday  was off?

No. We would have to play Tuesday and Thursday

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

Southwell..
2-1
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!

UTM!!

Southwell super sub scores!  :)

Great save Macca !

Is Thanoj still on the field? If i have heard his name three times this half then i would be suprised.

Wasn`t Thanoj booked earlier?

Not sure if he`s been taken off or not.

Get in Southwell. Have to question in the form he's in why Hurst didn't start him.

Got away with possibly the worst miss ever, their striker defying physics to put it over the bar from a yard out!!  >:(

Southwell = Goal machine! 😁

Seriously though, well done Dayle 👍

3 mins extra time.
Hold on Town !!

Alfreton 1-3 up at Kiddy :-)

Curse of the poster....ask a question and fck me he's suddenly all over the ball

fookin` `ell !!
That was sooooooooooooo close.
Off the post and away.

Destined for at town v kiddy final!!!

Would happily be at wembley in march. Though, we play them firstish week of march

Great result. well done boys. Kidderminster also losing today. Good day all round. UTM

Job done - well done Town! Keeps up the good run :)

So he could bring him on to score the winner perhaps??  :P

Well done Grimsby Town.
A well hard fought win away from home. Onto the next round of the Cup  .
UTM !!

The run goes on. Honestly thought we would lose there today.

Kiddy player sent off today will that mean an automatic ban for Thursday

Quoted from ginnywings

The run goes on. Honestly thought we would lose there today.

You need a PMA Ginnywings
12 games unbeaten now

Hopefully 14 come boxing day night!

I predict North Ferriby away in the next round - they just beat Woking 4-0 at home.

Thats some result that is
Be a tasty game if it was the draw

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

That'll be difficult mate - Kiddy went out in round 1.

I`ll be there for the home game v Gimps on NY Day.

A few of these...(sharabi)  before the game.

Bring it on!!(yahoo)

We're getting good at this late Southall goal/late Mkeown save lark. Chuck in a post to help out, lady luck seems to be back on board just as we've hit form.

usually the case, as is poor luck when we're struggling

Cos I can't help.......falling in love with you

Quoted from Peeler_Crab

Will be very happy to draw north ferriby away, as i live just down the road from there, plus we dealt with them comfortably in the pre season friendly.

I don't want to tempt fate, but when did we last have a longer unbeaten run?

Oh flipping eck! another win. The fixture pile up will do for us. However well done especially good for the so called fringe lads to do the business and get some game time, it is good to know the squad are all capable of stepping up.

Good to see the fringe players making a solid contribution and giving Hurst a good selection problem.

Dayle is certainly going to keep knocking on the door, and Cookie needed that goal, just hoping that starts him off on another scoring run !!

Another run out for Caine Winfarrah as well!

Is the Stuart Watkiss influence kicking in to produce young players capable of moving up to challenge for places??

Should we aim for the final again? Thoughts on that?

Quoted from Hagrid

Should we aim for the final again? Thoughts on that?

Take each game as it comes.  ;)

Personally I would not be unhappy if we were out of this competition. However I might feel different if we bow out of the FA cup in round 3

Of course!

However a local game against N Ferriby might be interesting

Quoted from PB

I don't want to tempt fate, but when did we last have a longer unbeaten run?

In 11-12 season we went 15 league games without defeat, started on November 5th against Bath City and didn't lose again in the league till 6th March against Fleetwood.
Also in that time period we played Port Vale twice and didn't lose and drew at Salisbury in the FA Cup before losing the replay 2-3 at home. So although technically it wasn't a longer unbeaten run over all games, but it was in the league.
Coincidentally Salisbury City ended our unbeaten run that year, but this seasons run started after we lost at Salisbury.
If we go unbeaten up to the Huddersfield game then that would be 16 games unbeaten.
UTM

A favourable home draw against lower league opposition in the next round and (assuming our stiffs beat them) we're potentially 2 games from Wembley...

Quoted from Hagrid

Should we aim for the final again? Thoughts on that?

Too right!

We are NOT Certain of promotion. Stick or twist and all that, we are quids in this season, keep the cash flowing.

Ah!, i see.

I just thought we would put a weakened team out and Barnet have won their last three games, so wasn't expecting us to win there.

Glad we did, it keeps the run going and some fringe players got a game, so all good.

Was speaking with Andy Cook yesterday at our school Christmas Fayre (drafted in to help). He said that he wanted to get to Wembley again, personally he was more likely to start in the Trophy games at the moment. He said that winning was a good habit whether it be in the league, FA or Trophy did not matter, to keep the unbeaten run going for as long as possible.

Last year when the cup run led to the fixture pileup didn't we play the first team in both the cup and the league though? If we play the reserves in the Trophy, the fixture pileup shouldn't affect the league form of the first team really, although I appreciate it is likely to be a mixture of the two in the Trophy from now on.

We were so close to extra time and a replay too. Rather have to play an extra game that's the next round of the cup!

Problem is Hurst will have a big decision if we make the final, play the team that got us there or the strongest to win a trophy for the club.

True Gaz. Looking at the team he put out today, looks like he'll be increasing the first teamers' inclusion as the rounds go on, probably keeping in the better performing fringe players.

You have to think about the money involved for both finalists. Financially we can't just disregard a decent chanxe of getting to Wembley again.

That's assuming we keep 'resting' players as we continue.

Quoted from Abdul19

That's assuming we keep 'resting' players as we continue.

I think the teams we field will become gradually stronger. Pick a team considered good enough to win. I guess if we drew North Ferriby at home in the next round, that we'd play a weaker team than if we had Cambridge away.

IF, I say IF we get to to the final, can we book some better weather this time?

I'd agree with both the last 2 posts, especially the weather one!

What if that wrecks our chance of promotion?

Yes we need cash, but if we don't get promoted soon then we are in the deep stuff

So many games really will affect us later on the season. Remember what happened last year?

If we're doing 'What ifs' then what if we get ourselves knocked out of the trophy and don't get promoted? The title looks a long shot to me already and do we really think another 4 or 5 games would cost us one way or another?

Quoted from gaz57

You get twice as much for winning than we got last year for appearing. no brainer really strongest team whatever the heartaches

I just don't think the long term survival of the club should be reliant on an fa trophy run. We need to make sure we do everything we can to give us the best chance of getting out this league. And Last year the fa trophy seemed like it was a massive distraction for us.

Don't underestimate the extra 4-5 games. We are already behind in terms of games played, throw in bad weather as well it is going to be similar to last year .... 3 games in a week scenario.  The 4-5 games extra isn't just the games themselves it is also the travelling involved, risk of injuries etc.... Plus an extra 3 games for the playoffs if you don't think we can go up as champions. Plus the extra 3 fa cup games this year.

Yes York did the double, and we played a ridicolous number in '98 but that was an extraordinarily good achievement, and is the exception raher than something we should aim to repeat every year.

so yeah  I do think the extra 4-5 or 7-8 or 10-11 extra games will take its toll and affect our chances of promotion and therefore not a risk worth taking. It's not really a 'what if' but  more of 'the likelihood will be .......'

The trophy is a very chance to bring a large amount of income into the club. Not trying to progress in it will in no way guarantee promotion. I think the League has to be and will be our priority but that doesn't mean we have to completely neglect the trophy. Ihonestly think the signings of last Jan and the time taken to sign Hannah were far more detrimental than the Trophy.

I think I would have to agree with that, the clubs future has to come first.
