Alan Alger is tipping Village Green Rovers to beat us today. Would love us to win this one.

I'm sure we all would. Not especially confident, but I have to stay positive, C'MON THE MARINERS.

JT has tweeted that Clay and Gowling are both fit.

JT been on RH 5 mins ago, didn't have it then.

Unchanged!!!

Strong bench! Amond, Bogle, Marshall, Arnold and Toto!

Won 4-0 last week, right not to change it around. Utm

You've got to give it to PH, he's his own man. I was expecting to see Bogle and Amond starting today. Seems an unnecessary gamble to leave them out. But what do I know!

Loud and proud today lads UTM

That illegitimates always right too  :-/

C'mon Town. Can't fault Hurst's logic -   team that won 4-0 should start today. But would have liked to have seen Arnold back on...

I personally think it is ludicrous to leave out Bogle and Amond. We had seven shots and created very little last week, against an extremely poor team.

Hope I'm proved wrong, yet again. UTM

I would have liked to have seen one of either Bogle or Amond starting today!

But I'm not a football manager! Up the town!

It's so quiet on here I'm assuming BP must be heaving.
1-0 up 30 minutes into such a big game we'd normally be up to page 7 or 8

Worry about our own result first!

Ashley chambers scored a second

Bloody hell!

Hope Town can build on his now - well done J.P.

Oops :-/

Keep calm, we only win 4-1 remember

Sounds like one of those refs who'd only give us anything if one of their players commits GBH.

Whatever Hurst or anyone else says a draw is not a good result today

I don't think it's a bad result against league leaders if you put it in context.. but it's certainly not the result we want if we want to push for automatic promotion this season!

Would anyone take a draw now?

Connor Jennings scores last minute consolation for wrecsam

With the team that he has picked (defensive i.m.o.) - PH will be reasonably happy with being level at half time.

The trick now is to weld his super subs in to the game at an early stage in the second half, to give us some goal power.

Quoted from lee65

Would anyone take a draw now?

No, we've already drawn too many games, we need more wins on the board now.

Poor first half from both teams.

How fgr are top i will never know.

Bogle and amond are being missed and just a poor match really.

I have no idea how your two top scorers are left on the bench.

Need a win , nothing else will especially as the team at the top are excrement

With such a strong bench SURELY Hurst can make a game changing sub or two.

We won't see a sub until 75 minutes or they take the lead , seen it all before.
I don't know any manager in the world that would leave his two top scorers on the bench

Quoted from grimps

If the manager does this again, as you say (unless we score a hatful in the last 10 minutes), there will be a lot of angry fans at the end of the game. I hope he goes for a win.

Half hour to go, time to make the changes now Hurst you useless son of a female dog.

Hurst prefers unproven loan players over the our better own players.

Bogle comin on 70 mins too late.

Will Hurst make a change before 70 minutes though? That seems to be the only point in a game before he'll actually make a substitution!

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Genuine question.

How does tomlinson just walk into the team ?

Does seem odd. It's less than a month since I saw him come on as sub for Barnet at Carlisle and didn't see anything startling. I hope the lad scores the winner though.

Another game there for the taking, excrement selection and 2 points dropped. Boooooooooooooo flipping useless Hurst.

We came for a draw at home , says it all really.
Hurst out !

Another draw. Great.

What substitutions were made and when? Can only get Humberside on FM today and hardly gone to JT.

Not the end of the world - but a great opportunity to show intent to the league leaders (given the strength of the squad) goes begging

I expected 3 points today disappointed yet again

Toothless performance against village team United.

Top scorers on the bench again !

What's going on ?

Disappointing not to get three points. Don't know what to think about the line up. On one hand, that side won 4-0 last time so it seems reasonable to not make changes. On the other hand, Amond and Bogle have scored most of our goals. I would probably have introduced at least one of them to partner JPP but hindsight is wonderful thing.

Sorry but i dont want to see any negative comments on here tonight apart from the "hurst out brigade" as many put it.

You were all happy last week so what does a week change ?

What a bizarre thing to say, last week we won 4-0 so it's not exactly similar circumstances.

We won 4-0 but only one goal came from a striker,

I would have thought Bogle would have played instead of a loan player.

I am not happy with Hurst yet again.

I take it you were there Sir Matt to give such an incisive judgement!!

There's still 32 games to go, so 96 more points to play for. 74 from 96 should see us promoted as champions. Plenty of time yet. We just need time for the team to gel, and convert a few more chances. We've just been a bit unlucky.

Yeah we just need to sack Hurst and get someone in that'll play our best team every week

Not denying it does seem odd to leave them both out once again, particularly if they are both fully fit.

Quoted from mariner91

Odd? It's beyond odd but Hurst will say he is happy with the draw.

Storming our way to 10th place but lets not worry in paul hurst we trust hey  ;D

10th on our budget is a disgrace.

Quoted from ginnywings

Odd? It's beyond odd but Hurst will say he is happy with the draw.

I'm waiting to hear his reasons, they might both have had slight knocks. If they were both firing fully though, then it was mental. I've never particularly rated Tomlinson although it's a good option to have something different in the squad, he is not as good as Bogle or Amond.

We have to stay positive, we are still only 7 points off top spot, we have to convert these draws into wins very soon though.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Fully agree Chris,

We will win on Tuesday if we start with the right team,

AND

We had better win at Braintree because I am going. ;D

Sounds like a quote from last season !!!

From AB's summary on the radio Tomlinson sounded a real handful and a goal threat, strange how the impression I got from that differs from everyone on here so far tonight, he even said there was no point bringing Amond on in place of him as he was more of the same and that only bringing Bogle on would make a difference to how Forest Green had to defend. I don't think I heard him say that Tomlinson was less of a player than the other two. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer our own strikers to be playing but he's not really excrement or anything so I can understand why the same team started.  I agree he could have made changes sooner but from commentary that should probably have been on the wings first.

Bring on the Heed.

You forgot golden rule number one of Fishy posting. Only bring up quotes from venerated previous managers when they put the manager in a negative light...

Tomlinson did OK. Should have got the headed chance on target, I thought, but wasn't bad apart from that.

What about the sitter that he apparently missed? Missed the ball completely. Did Buckley and Tondeur get that wrong?

Cross was behind him a bit. Could perhaps have done better, but the ball was behind him so an understandable miss - the problem was more the poor cross from Mackreth. On the other hand, I thought he should have hit the target with his header from Mackreth's good cross which I think was a bit later in the game.

To be honest - if you are looking for balance - I would forget this website.
It is out of control.
UTM - think we will stay up and possibly challenge for a top 5 place. Today told me a lot about the intent to win this league.

I think that last short sentence is, sadly, the most telling piece of testimony I've read today.

Weve got to be thankful were not in a relegation battle...

Your last sentence doesn't give me much inspiration .

I think the balance is right , there are two defined camps now but it all depends which one your in . Some are more vociferous than others but all have theirs points.
