Apologies for getting in the way of all the other threads but we do have a match tonight

@officialgtfc: #GTFC STARTING XI: McKeown, Tait, Pearson, Gowling, Horwood, Monkhouse, Nolan, Clay, Arnold, Amond, Pittman. #UTM https://t.co/Jm4OxWDBJh

Toto, Jennings, Robertson and Bogle on bench with Henderson

@officialgtfc: Subs: Robertson, Bogle, Nsiala, Henderson, Jennings #GTFC #UTM

Toto dropped. Interesting.

He's a stubborn one isn't he, Hurst? Monkhouse has been dogger for a few weeks and keeps his place after the worst of those last few performances at the weekend.

Have to agree with bringing Pearson in just while all the other stuff calms down. Bogle obviously said something out of order on Saturday then!

No moaning till after. Tonights about supportig

Lot of changes again. Could be a strange atmosphere tonight, though i hope it's back to business. Soon find out.

Pleased to see Pearson in there..... hope he has a good one....

Surprised to see Monkhouse keep his place. Or maybe not.
East left out completely. Another good footballer frozen out.

Monkhouse in, what a joke.

Can't believe Monkhouse is still in!

Big game tonight. Turning point or compounding the misery and negativity.
Lets hope for turning point

How does Monkhouse still get in the team, he's had one maybe two good games, he's either not got back to help defend or he does get back to defend and stands in the wrong place. When he's attacking he's too flipping slow to do anything useful, he hardly wins any headers which is supposedly why he's in the squad.

Glad Pearson is back in the squad, he's one of the first names that should be on the team sheet.

New scapegoat's been selected then I see.

There is no turning point, if we win tonight then will get three points maybe win the next game but sooner or later will lose some games  and we will draw some games,  an automatic place went months ago in my opinion,  we will get into the play-off places without too much trouble then it's a lottery after that as it was the season before, the season before and the season before!!

There must be a lot in the Findus bar right now otherwise today's attendance is going to be a shocker!

People starting to talk with their feet.

Welcome back Pearson, reclaim your rightful starting position.

No straker then

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

New scapegoat's been selected then I see.

Hope not. He needs a good game tonight though, as he seems lucky to retain his place on merit IMO, and I am one of those who understands the value he has to the team when on form.

As Buckley said, it's about a win tonight. That's all that's important.

Cmon town.

Not suggesting we're going to win the league. I'm saying we haven't won for 3 games and it could become a habit. If we lose tonight they might start wondering about the pay offs let aloe the league

We're winning guys!

Get in

If Woking had scored how long would this thread be......

Yay!! Couldn't make tonight so put my 18 notes on over 3.5 goals. Good start.

Woo hoo 🍾

Missed that. Tuned in late, looked at the BBC "live" text and it didn't list the goal for ages. Was merrily sat here wondering who is gonna score first.

1-1. Jeeeeez.

How the hell did we concede to Woking. We've reached a seriously low point.

3 times we've given away a needless free kick - inviting a ball into the box and conceded. Stupid. Basic.

Amazing how an early Pittman goal has elicited such a negligible response.wonder if the same would be true if Woking had scored.....

Been all woking last 15 and they score.

Shocking marking.

2-1 Town

Get in Ammo!

Amond!

get in podge

Shocking defending by woking and we score.

Amond

Get in. Good job they're not good defensively. Come on...let's turn the screw. We've not used the opening goal to press home an advantage, so hopefully we can do that now we're back in front.

UTM

Bit like mental torture this though - we need another!

Podge again!

Get in again!

Yay, 3-1.

Great goal amond.

I love you podge  :P

I love you Podge, going to win me so much money.

Well done!

There you are!

Get podge on a 36 year contract!

Getting the goal machine running again!

OK - my glass is looking decidedly more full than it was 20 minutes ago. This is a rather more reassuring scoreline going into the second half.

Quoted from GYinScuntland

What's the return?

Very well done  :) :)

That's what I'm talking about!  :)
Amond is so good. I would dearly love to keep him.

What was that rubbish that was just spouted about online coverage? Only caught half of it

We need a big turn around from Woking if we are going to keep the negativity, faux outrage and self-entitlement going.

The ref sounds terrible-we're doing well despite him, would be doing much better without him.

Good 1st half performance, pittman and amond linking up well. Also feel monkhouse is having a much better game. Refs excrement

Quoted from AndyDarloFC

What's the return?

Very well done  :) :)

It'll be just over 40 notes as got 13/8. Peed off as could have had 4/1 I think for over 4.1 goals and I bottled it. Watch the buggers fly in 2nd half. Sob!

Quoted from MeanwoodMariner

Or maybe it was the kick up the behind the manager and players needed

Just realised our former loanee midfielder Robinson is in midfield for Woking tonight? How's he doing against us?

For how bad the referee is, how about this:

Podge has a powerful effort cleared off the line and the follow up is then apparently palmed off the line but the ref doesn't award anything. The ball is cleared to the half way line where Arnold tries to turn his man and is fouled, which the ref ignores. The ball then goes across to the other side of the pitch where Clay is penalised for a foul he didn't commit. They duly score with a free header. That's 3 bad refereeing decisions in 30 seconds which effectively leads to a two goal swing!

Later on, Podge was clearly pulled back when running through on goal, but the referee chickened out. They then almost scored from a corner which should have been a throw-in!

Nothing against Woking who look a decent side but for a dodgy defence - lots of pace throughout their team and decent on the ball, they've won loads of corners and too many free-kicks in our half.

I wouldn't think the scoring is over in this one yet so let's hope Podge can get his hat-trick.

Playoff dream still alive. Come on town we can do this (3rd).

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

New scapegoat's been selected then I see.

I like the monkey man. Ye had 2 or three not so good games but still like him as a footballer. I would have him in.

Just put on me tin hat 🙉

Quoted from MeanwoodMariner

That was well worth saying.

Crowd of 2874 with 10 from Woking.

That crowd is pretty appalling in all honesty.

Ars v Barca..... on top of saturdays performance... easily 1,000 stay aways because of those...

FGR 1-0 up, not that it really matters.

Sounds like Podge has taken his responsibility as a senior player seriously and put in a big shift for the team and potentially for the club after the last few days.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

FGR 1-0 up, not that it really matters.

Does matter for my Yankee rodders!  ;D

Good old Forest - same old same old :-/

82nd minute for FGR - bit early

FGR get a late one. Just waiting for Danny Wright to get his obligatory late goal for Chelts.

What would be the odds on winning every game until the end of the season. 39 points and a 101 points tally. Did Mansfield do something like that? Probably a load of balderdash but you never know.

Biggest positive - 2 points gained on the leaders.

Shock news Chelts dont score last minute winner

Jeez - Cheltenham didn't win

Quoted from Teestogreen

Biggest positive - 2 points gained on the leaders.

;D ;D ;D

Quoted from nightrider

Jeez - Cheltenham didn't win

bloody rubbish....  ;)

If we win the two games in hand, there's only 11 points to catch up on- the heat is on!

Can I sense a touch of positivity or is it sarcasm

Quoted from buckstown

Can I sense a touch of positivity or is it sarcasm

Think it's the excitement of possibly making the play offs :-/

What do you think?

Good win will at least temper some of the vitriol of the past week.

6 more wins should sort us a play-off spot out judging on previous years. Hopefully have it secured before April.

so you guys need to win 5 or six of your remaining fixtures to enter the lottery,  even after this recent slump that has set you back you should make it pretty comfortably,Interesting to see Wrexham sliding into the frame now albeit with two extra games played than you,  So.. out of the top two who would you prefer to take on if it came to the final again, the facthunt at Chelt is the one i would hate to match up against, he is one of the best motivators of a lower league set up about,[this is what his managerial career has been about, he aint upper league material] and think he will take them to the title, If its the veggie crew, providing you do the first round  right, reckon you could be in for a similar type of game to last season.. but whatever keep fighting,  and best of luck,

Quoted from Grantley

That crowd is pretty appalling in all honesty.

No Grantley,it's not that crowd that is pretty appalling ,it's the so called fans that after a few poor games decide not to go and support our team thats appalling.

You're right, that's what I should have said. The best points tally we've had at this stage of a season and after a poor couple of games, a sub-3000 crowd. Fickle beyond belief.

Understandable though.1000 down on the last home game but night games usually have a few less fans, Barca on the telly and a couple of poor games leading up to this one. I thought there would be about 3100.

JF was handed a bit of paper, presumably with the attendance on just before it was announced and he looked deadpan before handing it to someone else who was shaking his head. Of course it could have been something else but the timing suggested it was the attendance figures.

It's not though is it.  It's not 'fickle beyond belief'.
