Stats don't look good for us!

its a conspiracy !!!!!

Lovely day. Just about to set off for BP.

C'mon Town, let's get Tuesday night out of the system with a dominant performance.

UTM

Hurrah town lets have a 4-1 !

C'mon Town. Make up for Tuesday. Hope we still have a decent crowd today, wish I was there! UTM

TEAM: #gtfc v Torquay - McKeown, Mackreth, Nsiala, Gowling, Pearson, Robertson, Robinson, Disley, Monkhouse, Arnold, Bogle.

Marshall and Pittman have made it (for the bench)

Amond, Clay, Tait, East all dropped? or Unfit?

According to Beeb, Podge, Clay and East on the bench, Tait not in the squad

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33944788

I think 6-1 to Town.
Bogle hat-trick, Arnold 2 and Pearson 1
And then a 20 match unbeaten run
Crowd 5271

JT speaking passionately on the radio about the refereeing decision from Tuesday. Think the fan got the better of him there.

Need to show the intensity we did for 15mins before half time at Alty, think the changes will freshen things up, fancy a clean sheet 3-0 (Bogle2, Arnold)...

too many changes for me

shouldn't break the front two........mistake i feel

Amond dropped after doing his job and scoring goals.

Wow.

Alot of changes today.

I hope they win today but i wouldn't have dropped Amond.  Some strange changes really.  C'mon town.

If Amond is dropped, then I'm unhappy with that.

For people who are there, is it 4-5-1 or is one of Arnold or Monk playing up front?

Edit - JT has just clarified, Arnold upfront

Dont get why Amond is dropped, and given East is available why Toto at right back. We know from previous seasons square pegs dont fit round holes as well as round pegs do.

It looks like tinker time has started again , let's hope it works out for him

Yep dropped mate.

I understand tuesday wasnt good enough but to not even have tait in the 16 match squad is strange too ?

I hope for the three points today.

Good to see Pitman and Marshall on the bench

Quoted from grimps

It looks like tinker time has started again , let's hope it works out for him

I see that as a positive though.Hurst raising the standards ?

Looks like Toto at rb because they are a big team, like it worked at Kiddy.

Obviously he's been dying to play Robertson but he's not match fit.  He's a good player but has no pace.  If Ayala is playing he could have a torrid time.  Fingers crossed.

Regarding JPP, why wasn't he introduced up front on Tuesday? Or was he?

Lot of changes for me, surprised he has made so many.

Quoted from Paris Mariner

Regarding JPP, why wasn't he introduced up front on Tuesday? Or was he?

Wasn even on the bench was he?

Fuming at Amond being dropped!

Quoted from psgmariner

Wasn even on the bench was he?

no, he wasnt fully recovered

Only saw Mackreth & Pearson come on at Alty?

So what sort of start we made ?

0-1

Lol typical town strike again.

Come on Town!

Oh dear

repeat of Kiddy, bromley goals ad finitum- full backs not being closed down and allowed to cross. >:(

East coming on for injured Toto

I hope Toto is ok

Good test for us this.1-0 down interesting to see how we react

Missing clay big time!

0-2 own goal

#thistownknows we have been sucked in again ;D

Cracking, the hurst tinker machine in full flow. >:(

Are we even competing lol unfortunately it looks like the changes have back fired...silly silly man.

F@ck's sake Town!!!!

ffs

Stupid making so many changes! Same old same old.

Why didn't he spend the money on more than 1 player i wonder if the rest of the money has gone on the budget instead.  Well he needs a miracle today.  

Amond ON!

Amond ON!

Amond ON!


Please.

Quoted from RoboCod

Amond ON!

Amond ON!

Amond ON!


Please.

Cant risk another sub this early unfotunately

The morale in the squad must be brilliant knowing you getting dropped after 4 games.

Is the team today stronger than the one last week , no i dont think so.

Tuesday night wasnt great but a loan midfielder and certain players not even in the 16 , our top scorer dropped just seems so desperate and strange.

For me Clay was MOM last Saturday and has started the season well. If he isn't injured, Hurst is sending out the message 'one bad game and I'll replace you with a loanee'. WTF?

Equally, he has signed two new full backs and has started 2/4 games this season with Toto at RB!

I think Hurst has panicked more than the whole of the fans collectively.

This is the PH i hate.  

A Town set piece cleared and the opposition break unchallenged to our box :-/

My belief is draining....

Clay and Podge on for Robinson and Mackreth. (I say from the comfort of not being there)

That was bad!!! Pearson could have been sent off as last man. Two bad goals and too much tinkering. Having said that it could be two all, Arnold missed a sitter and we were denied a stonewall pen for handball.

urine poor team selection, car crash defending and another excrement girl private blind referee. A great 45 minutes!

Absolutely excrement.

Fuming that again we manage to turn a good looking positive team into a excrement one with nothing to be arsed about.

Only at grimsby.

You dont have to make umpteen changes if midfield was the problem why? If Clay was mom how did Disley do.  Id play Monkhouse in the middle with Dis and Clay give the players a 2nd chance to make amends and play Arnold behind Amond and Bogle.

But saying this is hindsight.  Just disappointed with PH reaction i hope he doesn't kill the positivity.

Learnt nothing has he ?
This seasons is panning out the same as the other four he's been here except this time there are 4-5 teams better than us

Can't believe what I am seeing. What the hell is going on? :(

Toto was crap, New guy is crap, they have a little black guy in midfield who is running it

same old . we had the players last year and better this year,, just the same old nothing of a manager .

Well he hasn't really strengthened as he.  

Interesting what AB had to say about the subs
Why the intercourse aren't the subs in the dressing room hearing what the manager has to say?
They played excrement against Kidderminster and the subs were doing the same thing, playing keep up for 15mins.

Quoted from grimps

5th game of the season!

WTF has Podge and Clay done wrong? Hurst has f?%£ed this up with his selection. Operation Promotion? No chance!!!

Clay must start second half.

We'll done Hurst and the players - 4 and a half games in and you've killed all the excitement and belief. The all too famiar picture is emerging once again. F@cking sh1t.

When you lump it for 35 minutes to Nathan Arnold against a very tall defence, you're committing footballing suicide. Funny how we looked much better for the last ten minutes when we played the ball around.
Arnold skied a very good chance and Moleman ref misses what looks a blatant handball ala Herd for Lincoln a few years ago.

Its alright paul always saying players need to be up to his standards to be in his team but maybe he needs to look in the mirror and see what he is actually offering us.

6 flipping years he has had at getting us were we are currently.yes still in this illegitimate league.

A big gap already developing at the top so we are already playing catch up yet again.

Re: not giving a penalty for that handball, truly the worst 'important' decision I can remember for a long long time. The whole ground saw it as they say.
Don't know what toto was doin at right back, odd decision for me, surprised at Amond bein dropped too. Would like to bring on clay and Amond and maybe Pittman and Marshall too, but obviously we can't.

That is interesting nightrider i think this will be PH last season if he fails i just have this feeling.  I hope im wrong as id love PH to get us up but not signing enough players at the start of the season and then making loads of changes some probably unlucky to be dropped.

My team

                               McKeown

Tait             Pearson            Gowling          East


               Clay           Disley       Monkhouse

                                  Arnold

               Bogle                          Amond


Although we can talk about formations but i believe this will get the best out the players and give us more help in midfield.  The fullbacks bomb on.  

As bad a 45 as I have seen for a long time. Who the intercourse is the new bloke, he's excrement and that being kind

Those saying the new man is crap i think its a panic signing personally.

There are thousands of players out there especially in lower non league.  What do i know i aint a manager lol

sounds absolutely excrement.

As per usual the substitutes that could be a positive change have not come early enough.

Amond warming up 60 mins too late.

Id love to know the reason why Amond never started....

I bet he takes bogle of instead of going for it  or swap an attacker for a attacker

4290, 70 from Torquay

You know, just for a little while I thought and hoped Hurst had turned the corner towards being a half decent manager but then, after seeing the team selection today, I realised it was in fact a complete U- turn into stupid, ill conceived tinkering and fully blown idiotic incompetence.
Hmmmm, so I was right all along then.  :(

Well that att will change if it continues like this

Clay has arguably been our best player this season and been dropped for a player surplus to requirements at Luton.

Really don't know what's going on tbh

Robinson scores  ;D

get in

Thought he looked tired and ineffective second half on Tuesday, hopefully he'll be back to full steam next weekend!

Yes, come on Town!

Come on lads!

Bout time

Hurray! I had over 2.5 goals! Happy days.thanks gtfc :-/

Get in but should have never been dropped

There you are a right back at right back and your top scorer on the pitch amazing how it helps

Get in!

WTF Do you leave your goalscorer on the bench FFS Get a grip

Amond on bench: No goals.

Amond on pitch: GOALS.

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Can't disagree! Let's hope we get a 3rd!

Pissing myself at West Ham should never have got rid of Big Sam lol
