Getting a bit dark now - but it appears that the game has not yet been postponed. It could be that the teams will be able to take to the field and compete.
Looking on the 'bright side of life' -- uuutttmmm! ;D

Yeadon, Shipley and Otley fans may stay in the pub - for what is about to be delivered. ;D

Pearson back, Jennings in for Monkhouse

Strong line up. BENCH, bogle, clay, east, Gregor and toto.

There's yer starting 11 - according to BBC

Opposition is all Boshells and Atkinson.  Any of them ex Town?  Hurst also playing for them?  That will incense the Fishy - Hurst out!!

Danny Bosh and Rob Atkinson both ex Town.

Will be interested to see how Jennings gets on. Was very impressed with him when he came on against Southport.

Anyone doing a periscope link of the game?

intercourse.

I suppose it has been a while since we conceded from the oppositions first attack. :-/

0-1 Rob Atkinson

Makes a change to concede an early goal.

Atkinson......ouch

Yet another bad start away....... :-/

excrement.

1-0  :-/

💩

That be them 11 men behind the ball...just like the home game

Haven't seen any periscope links yet, will post if I see one!

Depends on the mind-set now.
Do we go for a late equaliser or a flurry of goals before half time?

1-1!

Get in

What a player he is

Dis!

FFS thought they had scored another 1-1

Same here Gareth lol

Get in dissssss

Come on Town

Back in it now so let's move on and get the win

UTM

Come on now, Town, get a grip of this game !!

3 points needed tonight !

Craig it is then  ;D

Captain.
Leader.
Legend.

Rubbish guy on the mike (not Chris)

Diz is really showing the way in front of goal! Podge seems a little quiet though, still unsure on the Podge/Hoban pairing.

Who is it on Humbo

Chris Cooper is the commentator.  Very poor so far

I think he's quite a good commentator

Chris Parker summariser doing a good job ( punching above his weight!!)

Not a patch on scary JT, Big Chris keeps interjecting with a description on what`s  actually going on game wise the other guy is just spouting small talk about FA

anyone else struggling to hear them both?

Bugga....Hoban hits underside of the bar....not over the line. Cursed corners!!

Just our luck....beat the keeper, hit the underside of the bar but no goal given

Where's that Alty lino when you need him :-/

Quoted from Garth

Didn't say he was better than JT. Nor did I say he was better; nor am I implying that he is.

You need a barrister to post on here.

That's a green tick from me for brilliant deployment of the "Grimsby O" nickname-ending!

Objection! (turned)

Upheld! case dismissed! clearly a plonker for wanting a barrister! :)

Goal's coming.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Goal's coming.

After half time

Quoted from KingstonMariner

After half time

Objection Your Honour!

Well - Danny Boshell's not on the pitch anymore (injured) so second half (Guiseley lacking in midfield experience):  - Town will be instructed to capitalise and win (with midfield and striker enhancements) - must do!

Quoted from UTMAdinfinitum

Upheld! case dismissed! clearly a plonker for wanting a barrister! :)

Starbucks or Costa?

Jennings sounds like he's having a good game super cross for Dis and one or two shots got to say I think he could be a cracking little player young as well.

Come on town lets do this Attack!!                                       UTM.

BTW Nice to have a commentator who sounds calmer and easier to listen to than Jonah Tonduer.

Let's get at em. Sounds like a good turnout from us

Hoban also unlucky not to be on the scoresheet - let's hope that Town are able to put on pressure and wear them down in the latter stages for the victory !

Bring Bogle on at 60 if still level.

toto and bogle 3-4-3 and just flipping go for it lads,I've  got money on this bad boy !

Quoted from Martz86

Bring Bogle on at 60 if still level.

No. Play him while he's still a young man.

Oh dear

Ffs

The other Boshell swoops at the start of the 2nd half

FFS Town :(

All of a sudden, I feel sick

Bish bash Bosh

Big Chris...'some Town players turned off there'. 30 seconds later...goal.

I really, really will have to stop glancing up at the top two in this league.

Must admit - there is only one player on the bench that you might bring on to try and win  a game - looks like a point would be ok. ::)

Get in there!!

intercourse,

Amond!

2-2 ....Amond, where have you been? :)

YYYYYEESSSS PODGE

Sorry - wife walked in and started interrogating me - and suddenly we're 2-1 down - what a 'crap' minute that was.

Have scored yet ontunein

Silly free kicks again  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Get in

Yessss - (I assume it's 2-2)  ;D

Quoted from bobbyturtle

Get in

Is that 3 ?? FFS!

I'm not a fan of this commentator, I never know who on earth is on the attack.

C,Mon Town!!

Get in!

Is there an echo in here?

Quoted from GyMariner

Get in!

Is that 4? FFS

DESMOND scored for town according to @officialgtfc twitter account..

Bogle coming on. C'mon Omar, get stuck in.

Bogle coming on because Hurst is fed up of arguing with him on the bench.

I make it 4 to us. Disley, Amond, Desmond and Almond.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I make it 4 to us. Disley, Amond,   Desmond and Almond.

Desmond Toto         8)

No more attacking options on our 5 man bench that I can see (now that Omar is on). What is the point of the others?
Hopefully, this will end well.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Desmond Toto         8)

Desmond 2-2  8) 8)

Its still 2-2

Quoted from RoboCod

Desmond 2-2  8) 8)

Clever!

Might as well chuck everyone forward.  Rewards (hanging onto a slim title chance) more than outway the  risks (only getting a point ahead of play-off pack we're already miles ahead of).  ATTACK!!

Live periscope at last!

Agree with that. Attack! Attack! Attack!

(unless we lose, in which case Hurst is a muppet  ;) )

Lincoln losing 4-1 at Dover

Bump

Looking at the table as it stands, it's quite possible it's us, FGR/Cheltenham, Dover and Braintree in the playoffs...

Dissapointing. But as it is really, it was always going to be the PO's

Ft

Not good enough again. That blasted trophy getting in the way again! ??)

2 points against Guiseley in 2 games says why we are third and not challenging for the title. Wonder what their budget is John?

Guiseley twice, Torquay twice, away at Kiddy, home to Boreham Wood, away at Altrincham, away at Halifax. We're not going to get promoted automatically with those results. We've dropped 18 points against sides in the bottom seven. We evolve the team but the fundamental principles remain. Start games and seasons slowly, fail to be sides in the lower reaches of the league.

Reflection of the season i'm afraid never really thought we had a chance of getting near the top two.

Nothing to do with the Trophy.

Anyway, thank intercourse we can get back to finding out how Hull and Man City are doing, instead of that irritating game that the Radio Humberside bloke had to commentate on.

Well we did not lose and we wont catch the top two and that in a nutshell is why we are third only

Quoted from Tradjazz

Not good enough again. That blasted trophy getting in the way again! ??)

No way, if your good enough you should take games in your stride the damage was done befoore we even kicked a ball in the F.A.T. to be fair.

Point - play offs - yep!  

Why has this club got so many people on the bench (little chance of playing) that are not going to the enhance the chances of a victory? It suits Town to stay in this division and, financially, why not?

Could be worse the imps got owned at Dover.

Obviously, a disappointing result, but a good indicator of why we won't get close to the title this season.

FGR have played Guiseley twice, scored 4 and conceded none: 6 points.
Cheltenham stuffed them 5-0 at home so 3 points already and what's the betting they win their away game there later in the season?

In comparison, we've conceded 3 goals against Guiseley and have therefore won just 2 points.

Credit to Guiseley for decent enough performances against us, but we really needed to win at least 1 of the games and  preferably both. We're just not quite good enough at either end of the field.

At least it makes my mind up for Saturday. As a season ticket holder who can not get to mid week matches I have missed about half of the games and so I do not feel inclined to pay to watch Bognor . I think we lack attacking fullbacks and the inevitable loss of Townsend hurt us. Add to this not much from the wings and we do not look great. I was hoping that we would sign a target man and a winger and a pacey full back and we got none. The window was decisive for me. All is not lost as outside of the top 2 none of the teams are up to much ( us included) and so we have a shout but we are not playing well at the moment

We consistently find a way to fall just short. Keeps us unbeaten run going Hurst will say, probably.

Amond scores one,  thats a positive

Quick, get Dale the Binman and Fenty back into Zsa Zsa Gabor's living room for Take 2!!

Worrying that we gave away goals early each half but what a joker on the radio thinks we play the fa trophy before the play off final.

Quoted from HackneyHaddock

Quick, get Dale the Binman and Fenty back into Zsa Zsa Gabor's living room for Take 2!!

PMSL!

Absolute idiot, waffled all night about F--k  All

Hurst will get us to the play offs every season,

BUT

Will he ever get us promoted ?

Quoted from Zmariner

I think we lack attacking fullbacks and the inevitable loss of Townsend hurt us. Add to this not much from the wings and we do not look great.

I actually disagree about the full-backs. All of them are perfectly capable going forward even though Robertson and Horwood may lack a little pace. The issue is more with our wingers who aren't good enough/consistent enough (much the same thing, I suppose). Arnold is fantastic on his day, anonymous when not on song which has been all too often this season. Monkhouse OK, but slow. Marshall, terribly disappointing.

You're not wrong about Townsend, obviously. A better full-back than any other in the Conference as well as a better attacker than most of the wingers here as well! He's far too good for this level which is why he's not with us.

Quoted from grimsby pete

Leave off Pete. We're punching above our weight. Everyone knows that. Even Zsa Zsa Gabor.

But when did he last have a bad game - dumped with Omar? Should have been on the bench tonight at least. Can't understand the mentality of having players that have a good pre-season and then discard them. Having said that, I can if the objective is to stay in this division.

He's injured. And he's lazy, no thanks

Quoted from grimsby pete

I think the players have to play their part too Pete,  IMO he chose a strong team  tonight and to only get a draw was disappointing against lower opposition, he said in his interview post match that the instructions he gave from the line were not being carried out to his satisfaction

Same or higher gates, lower wages to pay  ;)

Ah, come on. Marshall has been completely ineffective pretty much since the season began. He may have only had a few starts but he's made 15 appearances in the League this season and his record stands at no goals and no assists. He's surely had enough playing time to do something this season, but I can't remember anything much myself.

I'm not saying that he shouldn't be in the squad, but I wouldn't expect anything from him if he was!

Quoted from Garth

Someone else at fault then as per usual  :)

We've played way worse than that and won. It's frustrating but it was a case of missing a lot of chances. We should have had 6 or 7 and some of the headed chances wasted were criminal. Disley should have had a hattrick.

Quoted from Hagrid

He's injured. And he's lazy, no thanks

He wasn't lazy (and injured) earlier this season, when I saw him in 2 games - he played well and displayed a lot of sharpness and talent. Presumably that's why he was signed for the second time. Not seen any stories  /evidence he's injured - not documented. Don't buy it  - where is he?

Quoted from ackomariner

I blame the fans they did not sing enough  ;D

Yup! PH can kick the ball about all night but it won`t change the score, I was not at the game but apparently their two goals could easily have been avoided, Hursts fault?

  If they didn,t do what he said I can see us having a strong youth training squad. Wrong midfield picked again----he just has to play his recent signings G only knows why. The new signings are just not good enough !

Marshall has a knee injury. I read he may need a scan to assess.

Jesus, if you're going to make such bold statements at least read the one or two news sources that we have available. He's flipping INJURED and has been for the last week or so.

Any other players who Hurst doesn't play that you want to dig up? Or past players? I tell you what, if only Andy Cook, Hannah, Thomas, Neilson, Mackreth and Brown were playing last night eh? We would've definitely won and we'd probably be winning the league if we had them all season too. BOO HURST OUT!

If Marshall is the answer, then i don't want to ask the question.

Quoted from ginnywings

If Marshall is the answer, then i don't want to ask the question.

It's sort of slipped under the radar a bit in all the discussions post last night but I think the "answer" could well have turned out to be Monkhouse. We missed him last night.

Exactly. I'll back all of our players and want them all to do well, of course. But when people are bringing up players that simply have not delivered this season when given the chance (nevermind the fact that they're injured) and using them as a stick to beat Hurst with, it's just ridiculous.

The times Marshall has started in the FA Trophy/reserves, people were saying he looked poor and uninterested and not like a player who is trying to break into the first team. Now he's the saviour according to some people. The wingers we have been using the most have played their part in us being 3rd in the league....would Marshall being involved more have improved that league position?

Hi all,

Guiseley fan in peace. Just to say thanks to everyone who came on Tuesday - it was our most complicated game of the season what with our little ground in the midst of DIY-SOS-style improvements to be graded appropriately by the end of the month. (We can thank the council for sitting on our applications for roughly two years for that.)

I've never seen so many hi-vis jackets in Nethermoor at once! But it was a good game and a good atmosphere. Neither team defended their box brilliantly so it was a fun match. Sorry it was a frustrating result. I thought you looked good going forward. We've been demolished by Bogle before in his Solihull days so were extra nervous when he came on.

With any luck we won't see you next March Boxing Day. We know how painful the playoffs can be but if that is to be your path then all the best with it - there's a few clubs in your position (i.e. really shouldn't be in the Conference) but probably none with a stronger case than you. All the best for the rest of the season!

Much appreciated wenik

I'd like to wish Guiseley all the best for the rest of the season also
