Tait back in at right back, Roberston in for Horwood. JPP back on the bench.

Bet Monkhouse & Hoban can't believe their luck.

Negativity to start the match thread, had this non stop for 3 days, give it a rest until after the game, its boring

This is the best line-up available

Lets hope its good enough to win

Quoted from Hagrid

Negativity to start the match thread, had this non stop for 3 days, give it a rest until after the game, its boring

Hurst should take previous performances into account when picking his starting line-up. It's clear from this starting line-up that he's got his favourites who will start every game when fit, regardless of form. Trying to stifle debate by crying "NEGATIVITY" is cheap and lazy. Commenting on the starting 11 on a message board isn't going to have any effect on the team's performance and the eventual result tonight.

Horse poo, clearly a very large majority of fans do not see why Monkhouse gets starts, not negative just bored of the same old steaming pile.
Give the new guys a chance, if they play poor then at least it will only match what they have replaced.

Totally agree. Can't work out what he sees sometimes. I want us to win as much as anybody else even those who think nobody is allowed to comment negatively on a team selection. I look at that line up and it just depresses me. Anyway, by all accounts Aldershot are sh1te, so fingers crossed for three points. I'll be cheering as loudly as anyone else when we score..

Quoted from Hagrid

Jeez, he just commented on the starting line up. Why can't you give it a rest? How is it negativity!?!?

It's clear from that selection that some players will start regardless of form or fitness. That's all I'll say. If it's ok with you that is.

One tactical change (Tait in) , one through injury... in summary.

Listening to Hurst on Humberside earlier he mentioned  having watched the Chelt game back and didnt think there was an obvious gulf between the teams......that would explain why he has kept relatively an unchanged side then... :o  

Hope we find ourselves a few goals up so the new lad gets a chance!

What do you know.... You dont see the players day in day out. Hurst does, its any excuse to have a go at certain players or the manager. Monkhouse scored, and yeah he was half fit but so flipping what. He's been picked. Get over it, its my opinion. Sorry it doesnt go with the constant crap we've had to put up with for the past 4 days

Come on Town, lets give ourselves some play-off breathing space......UTM

Just need to get behind the lads tonight. Even on the message board.Hoping for an early Town goal

People not really agreeing with you Hagrid. Pipe down.

I couldnt care less, its my opinion- pipe down?? Grow up mate

Barrow  1 - 0  Braintree........... :)

We haven't learned our lesson from Friday. Still giving away far too many free-kicks in our own half allowing the opposition to easily lob the ball into our box.

Poor start from us

Doesn't sound like we've started well at all.

Podge has had a number of miscued shots in recent games. Needs to find his shooting boots again.

Tondours just said we've conceeded 1st in 5/6 of our last away games, need to sort out these slow starts before the P/O's for sure

Quoted from Hagrid

I couldnt care less, its my opinion- pipe down?? Grow up mate

  Thats it..  I,ll see you 2 behind the bike shed as soon as school finished

Why is there no proper live text on BBC. I am relying on updates on here now. Please update as soon as there are any goals. I am stuck on a ship off Mexico!

Quoted from Hagrid

I couldnt care less, its my opinion- pipe down?? Grow up mate

Your thoughts are opinions and others thoughts are negativity?

It's not particularly exciting and no goals yet.

just got online and see this thread had 4 pages , I thought intercourse me we've got an early goal or conceded. .. nope just people whinging  ;) ;D

Exactly Ginny. And he's a moderator too. Pathetic.

It's almost as if he's struggling without his more regular strike partner isn't it?

Oh Dear

Sh1t

Hurst out

Ffs another freekick

Quoted from pontoonlew

It's almost as if he's struggling without his more regular strike partner isn't it?

The partner who he almost instantly gelled with at the start of the season and was assisted by in a large amount of his goals?

Nah, that can't be the reason...

Quoted from pontoonlew

It's almost as if he's struggling without his more regular strike partner isn't it?

I don't think you can attribute Podge mis-kicking to who he's playing with.

Regardless, we've given away another stupid free kick in our own half and conceded from it. WELL DONE PAUL AND PLAYERS GREAT JOB LEARNING LESSONS

Sack him  ;D -only kidding but whats going on ??)

Stop being negative, Hagrid doesn't like it

Hurst does not do learning lessons. This is really flipping tiring now.

Quoted from chaos33

Exactly Ginny. And he's a moderator too. Pathetic.

So? You're right, im wrong.. I dont agree with you and i dont care what you think of me

If we lose this he's gotta go to keep our chances alive.

Got to go , end of.

Don't want to sound negative but we sound excrement. :(

Jeeeez it was a horrible deflection that left macca with no chance, shouldn't have been a free kick anyway

Somethings not right and we've got some tough games coming up.
If he continues like this then we wont even make the play offs , I'd be happy to get rid now to be honest

I wonder what the escuse will be tonight if it stays this way 🤔

And to clarify before every man and his dog twists my words, i said stop the negativity before we've even kicked off, clearly we've started excrement, we're losing again, and its worrying- but we are a good team and im sure we'll get through this sticky patch before the end of the season- clearly majority are not of this thought process

*excuse

I said the same after the Cheltenham match... Something is wrong, we are rudderless.
Get rid of Hurst, Put Doig in charge until the end of the season!
Or we will all be tearing up our Play Off final tickets!

Fans' fault. Nothing to do with Hurst or the players.

Quoted from Chrisblor

I don't think you can attribute Podge mis-kicking to who he's playing with.

Dont you? I do, strikers thrive on chances...Podge has had very few of late and going a few games without a goal makes you snatch at chances, you dont relax and dont strike it true...him and Hoban just dont gel.

Season Ticket for Cleethorpes Town looking really good for next season now

Well with braintree and dover both losing atm thats a small consolation if all stays as it is.
We really should be hammering teams like this though !
Hurst out !! 😐

UTM

Oh boy!

Sounds shocking..

Just go paul , just go.

2-0 something wrong here in the camp
Come on Town!!

Permission to be negative, Sir !!?

2  0  FFS

2-0, radio off.

Hurst you are a flipping joke.

Carried on where we left off at Cheltenham, giving away too many free kicks in our own half.

Hurst has assembled another team of useless chokers? What a surprise!

Feeling really spoiled listening to this pile of shite.

Disgrace

Oh dear :-/

Got to think that's Goodnight Vienna

Going to have to rely on other results I fear

Hang on though we are a good team.

Carried on where we left off at Cheltenham, giving away too many free kicks in our own half and inviting pressure on.

Had to laugh at the commentary there, "Surely Hurst will make an early subsitution"  He clearly does not know Hurst and how he cocks substitutions up

Something going wrong here, looks like our season is going to just fade away and we won't make it past the playoff semi at this rate

Please tell me what Hoban and Monkhouse have done to justify a place.

There is something wrong behind the scenes  
No teamwork whatsoever. Ever since Halifax IMO.
Not sure what but something needs sorting and soon.

Turning into a laughing stock once again doesn't look like we will be in the football league next season.  As much I support hurst looks like a new manager needs to come in break the bank for someone who knows how to get out of this league, SORRY HURSTY TIME IS UP

i wonder what the excuse will be tonight?

Quoted from jaymariner

Lost the dressing room????

Worried we might be having the same implosion that happened at Macclesfield last season  :-/

If only those superb mid-season signings Henderson and Straker had made it into the squad. They'd surely rescue this match for us (tick)

I've stopped listening, I'm not wasting my evening. Netflix on and football manager for the rest of the night I think, it'll be nice to see a Grimsby squad storming the league for a change.

Has Hurst ever lost 3 games  before whilst he has been with us?

Half time

so we could be looking at 3 defeats on the trot now and at the most vital time of the season, this is worrying stuff and im afraid it comes down to one man.

We need to act and act now if we lose this tonight , poor performances for a little while now and 3 defeats in a row , im sorry but something is seriously wrong.

Disgrace

If the top two lose all their games and we win...can we still win the league?

Whats wrong with this new version of the fishy tonight, posted Disgrace once and it keeps repeating again and again ;D

Can anyone see us winning another 3 or 4 games to get us in the play offs ?

Must say I have supported Hurst,

BUT

If we lose tonight, time for a change,

Sorry Paul

Slow start, 25 minutes-ish of bumbling around, survive early scare, concede slightly unfortunate goal....almost the Grimsby Town template until the 2nd went in.

Not sure where that leaves us....2nd half rollocking, all guns blazing, but when did we last come from 2-0 down?

Quoted from Garth

Whats wrong with this new version of the fishy tonight, posted Disgrace once and it keeps repeating again and again ;D

dont know but it is very apt.

Quoted from Garth

Its performance mirrors that of the GTFC squad.

But we know fenty aint got the balls to do jack.

Makes one wonder whether he's been told his contract won't be renewed at the end of the season  . Hence his odd and unexplained team selections and formations,  really does seem that he's doing it on purpose to pee us off .

Think Omar hinted at it with his tweet,heard one or two rumours but that all they are.

The signing of Ollie Palmer saved him last season. Literally that one player saved the season.
Townsend was the one that kept us up there this season, without him weve struggled

I can not see that it could be anything else other than a dressing room issue. Favourite players, players who don't get a sniff, players who should be brought on as subs but they send on centre halves instead up front. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. This is basically the same team that ahd been doing so well up to Macclesfield and now the wheels have come off in spectacular fashion. We haven't gone from a very good team to a poor one overnight, something's wrong.

Not sure what's happened to our team. Watching it fall apart before our very eyes after such a promising start to the season. WTF is going on.

Cheer up we are going to Wembley

Quoted from DocTower

If only, he's on a rolling one year deal unfortunately  :(

Had a laugh earlier reading the Shots forum, someone predicted 28  - 2  win for them, He perhaps won't be far off the mark with their score at this rate but don't know where our 2  are coming from. A pathetic performance sorry nonperformance.need to make changes now not on 70 mins.

And the thing is we aint even sure of a playoff place as things are going.

The omar bogle tweets questioning the manager and the aftermath of the halifax game are all looking to have a bit of substance now

Not surprised tbh every year under hurst pans out this way

Kin ell at least he made two attacking changes.

Hurst does what the fans said but too late and if we dont win he has his excuse for the next game

Well well....
Lets see if that livens us up...

Quoted from Grim74

Cheer up we are going to Wembley

copulated if I am and I hope everyone else boycotts that poxy trophy

"Stewart drives to the byeline and puts it across.....gets a corner out of it"

intercourse me, a left winger playing like a left winger!

Can't remember when we last played the same defence two games running or the same team for that matter. It all smacks of a manager who is desperately seeking answers to problems of his own making. He hasn't got the nous I'm afraid. At this stage of the season you should know what your best side is.

Quoted from grimps

copulated if I am and I hope everyone else boycotts that poxy trophy

It will be an interesting photo in Traf Square. JF stood at Nelsons column looking bemused and all on his own !!

As every day passes, Hurst does or says something that makes him look even more hapless, and yet here we are, losing to a nothing team and carrying on with Hurst. Pah!

We have heard bogle and stewarts name more in the first two mins than hoban and bob monkhouse did in the full 45.

Don't worry mate- they'll be back in for Saturday.

Get in

Bogle and Amond combining for.... a goal!??!!?

But I thought Hoban was the ultimate striker!?

Quoted from Garth

Whats wrong with this new version of the fishy tonight, posted Disgrace once and it keeps repeating again and again ;D

I gave every one of the posts a tick

2  -  1  Podge

Bogle and Amond link up. Well what do you know?!

Bogle scores, triggering a minimum 3 match run in the team!!

I meant...Bogle SETS UP a goal...oh you know..

Well well well the two obvious front men do it again, master stroke by Hurst---Christ on a bike

Has he at last seen what we have all seen for weeks.

He still needs sacking , his stubborn  pig headness has cost us too many times

Hurst is a tactical genius  :P

Hurst needs sacking even if we do pull this back.

Would be 2-2 if Hoban wasn't forced off injured 😉

See that Paul? Bogle sets Amond up for a goal.

It's staring you directly in the face, even us spoiled no nothing fans can see it.

Yes!!!!!

Dressing room hasn't been right since the turn of the year culminating in the Halifax debacle. Scrape a few wins, paper over the cracks, draws against poor teams and now three defeats where we can't string two passes together.

After what he did for Hartlepool, somebody get Ronnie Moore's number to Fenty quick. Everything's been stale for a long time. Fresh eyes, selections and tactics needed.

If you think we are sick of it imagine what the squad feels like..

Edit And Amond scores!

No change in what I think though..

Edit And Bogle scores!

No change in what I think though..

Would be 3-2,up if Hoban wasn't forced off injured !!! 😄😄

2 - 2  Bogle

2-2 Bogle

Quoted from pontoonlew

See that Paul? Bogle sets Amond up for a goal.

It's staring you directly in the face, even us spoiled no nothing fans can see it.

And now scores

Cmon attack attack attack ,.....change your philosophy hurst just go for it

Right hopefully that's the last we ever see of Hoban in the starting line up. Hurst must learn lessons from this.

It looks like the team gave Hurst the half time talk

Fenty must be thinking "this girl private hasn't got a clue"
Surely

Quoted from ackomariner

Hurst is a tactical genius  :P

Which Hurst...first half one or second half one?

Fenty must be thinking "this girl private hasn't got a clue"

*Actually, knowing John he'll probably congratulate him on the inspired subs he made

Bogle needs a proper run in the side until the end of the season. No doubt.

Quoted from grimps

It looks like the team gave Hurst the half time talk

It needed it he's lost for ideas

Effing come on Town.

See what a bit of no monkhouse and  no hoban but a bit of stewart and bogle can do.

Yes hurst might get out of jail again tonight but im sick to death of his same old predictable safe team selection, i dont wanna see monkhouse or hoban near the starting eleven , they slow us right down.

Come on!!!

Gowling needs to pull his finger out. Really letting himself down with his recent performances.

Scorers-Amond, Bogle ...it has a nice symmetry about it. Let's stick with it from now on.

Hurst was forced into this I don't want to give him any credit even if  we win  cmon town

Could be time to sub Disley,the only time I've heard his name is when he gives away a foul.

If the scores stay the same in the National League tonight it wouldn't be too bad a night for Town, although we would hope we can win it now.

Defence for some reason is poor these last few games

Quoted from grimps

It looks like the team gave Hurst the half time talk

Haha
They should leave him in Aldershot

Quoted from chaos33

Don't worry mate- they'll be back in for Saturday.

Well if they are i swear i will close line that man into john fenty in the upper.

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Hurst was forced into this I don't want to give him any credit even if  we win  cmon town

Yeah absolutely

Quoted from promotion plaice

If the scores stay the same in the National League tonight it wouldn't be too bad a night for Town, although we would hope we can win it now.

A win instigated by the subs and the Amond/Bogle pairing would be great, not sure if the defence are going to hold out though. Very shaky again.

Quoted from Garth

Defence for some reason is poor these last few games

Because he keeps playing that flipping Toto who is excrement and always has been. Can't see why loads on here wet there pants over him.

3-2!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

WOOP!!!

Message to Paul Hurst do not let Hoban or Monkhouse near the ground on Saturday,not even to sell programmes.

2  -  3  Arnold

U fvcking beauty !

Paul you are one lucky lucky man.

Paul Hursts Black & White army 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You see Paul we do now what we are talking about.

Amond, Bogle, Arnold....it's the ABBA fan club!!! (nearly) :)

Yes!!!! See what happens when we go 'attacking'!!!

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

GET YOUR RADIO BACK ON MATE..............QUICK

Get the fcuk in there!

Great comeback hope it lasts

Listen , he knew what he was doing all along.

Now then defence get your effing act together WTF is going on??

Hurst out.

FFS  

3-3

Can't believe it!

FFS  3  -  3

Heads back on FFS

This 11 playing now should see the rest of the season out

Someone stick all our defenders in the bin. Shameful defensive performance tonight.

Quoted from Rick12

Great comeback hope it lasts

60 seconds good enough for ya  ;D

What's with the defence?

OUR DEFENCE IS FECKING GARBAGE
.

Hurst out

Pearson should have started >:(

I can't take anymore of this.

Quoted from Rick12

Great comeback hope it lasts

;D

Bogle showing he wants it.

Quoted from bradzmilne

Heads back on FFS

Sorry Vicar :D

Not true that Disley only mentioned when he gives a foul away.  He was mentioned on the commentary for a poor tackle that contributed to their 3rd goal!

WTF is going on with our defence??

You can just see that dressing room at half time can't you?
Hurst, "You illegitimates are going to lose me me my job tonight so if you're not going to do what I say you might as well do as you like second half and see who was right."
Team, " Cheers for that boss, we'll play to our strengths then......Omar, get ready mate, let's have it!"

Dover now winning...........FFS

Dover winning, above us as it stands

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

WTF is going on with our defence??

its not settled is it ?  Havnt had a settled back four for weeks.

:-/

Not true that Disley only mentioned when he gives a foul away.  He was mentioned on the commentary for a poor tackle that contributed to their 3rd goal!

Stewart just described by Bill Brewster as "more Sammy Lee than Lionel Messi"  :)

And we are down to fourth !!!

The Fishy to become the new manager/s

Quoted from barralad

Stewart just described by Bill Brewster as "more Sammy Lee than Lionel Messi"  :)

Is that a critical comment on a forum re Stewart?

Tait badly injured

Ridiculous. This ref loves his red cards (averages around 1 every 2 games so far this season), yet Tait gets hacked down with a shocker and he only books their player.

We just need a winning Disley header in the 92nd minute to wrap this up...

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Is that a critical comment on a forum re Stewart?

Not really unless you think Bill Brewster is a critic rather than a fan

Our defence, and midfield cover, has been poor for the last 6 away games.  We have been very strong away from home before.  

Has Tait gone off injured?

Fecking bring Pitman on they want a decent defender.

Get in, Town 4 - 3 up now..........YEEEEEEESSS

Nolan!!!!!!! I think

Get in 4-3

Get in there x

YESSSS!!!!!

I bloody love how excrement you are at goalkeeping Phil Smith

3  - 4   yes  Nolan

2-0 up and they fuc@ed it up ...... I hope lol
UTM

Yes! That'll do. Please blow time.

Who cares if our defence is poor!   As long as somehow we manage to score more goals than we concede!!  (Well in this game anyway).

Paul I'm going to Swindon tomorrow I can drop Hoban off at Oxford on the way.

Ahh dont you love a bit of positivity! Knew we were never gonna lose this 😉 UTM, COULD be the half that changes the tide for us, but paul, please keep this side!

NOLAN YOU BEAUTY !!

4-3 Town

Nolan puts us back in front

What a crazy game  ;D

Get the fvck in.

Paul hurst you need to realise tonight you have got off the hook big time.

Play bogle and amond and drop monkhouse.

Holding midfielder coming on..... :o

4-3 Town

Nolan puts us back in front

What a crazy game  ;D

Tonight hurst has lost his job. Got it back again. Then lost it at 3-3 before getting it back yet again thanks to Nolan.

It wouldn't be the fishy any other way!!

Clay coming on, 4 minutes injury time my prediction.

You just summed this match thread up to a T 😂😂😂😂

Defend the sodomist this time Town.

What is Toto on tonight?  And if so, has he given some to Gowling?

Hurst aint going no where yet get over it ffs the defence as been excrement

How many games have we lost points because we were not positive enough with selections? we should have walked this league.

Quoted from Hagrid

Ahh dont you love a bit of positivity! Knew we were never gonna lose this 😉 UTM, COULD be the half that changes the tide for us, but paul, please keep this side!

Everyone critical of Hurst's team selection at the start of this thread has been proved right though as the introduction of Stewart and Bogle has resulted in 4 second half goals?!

Agree Hagrid....

Boring indeed something you couldn't say about the game itself though ;)

Hard fought victory in the end. Well deserved?

Maybe; maybe not but 3 more points on the board is what counts most at the end of the day

UTM

The Fishy has not let me on this thread until just now - Stewart on at 46mins - 3 goals in 12 minutes after - say no more - well done Town :)

Hurst should go tonight anyway. We have the players to win the playoffs if freed of the shackles that Paul imposes on them. I would have full confidence if he went. With him in charge I have little but he is a bloody bloody lucky manager to my mind.

Football Bloody Nora!

Hurrrrst in. Hurst out. In out in out shake him all about. Nolan scores a screamer and the crowd go wild. That's what it's all about ..... Ooooooo Hokey Cokey

Team picked for Saturday, eh Paul.

WOW   THE END  3 - 4  

I stand by what ive said on facebook.  unless he changes his tactics and actually attacks and plays his best team (bogle ans amond together) I want him to go..

but, well done to the 11 who finished the game, fantastic listening in the second half, utm!

What a come back lol

Quoted from Chrisblor

Everyone critical of Hurst's team selection at the start of this thread has been proved right though as the introduction of Stewart and Bogle has resulted in 4 second half goals?!

Absolutely!

Unfortunately Hurst will claim this win was due to his great tactical move. Muppet

What a come back lol

Well done Town showed some bottle tonight.Carry that sort of spirit through to the play offs now from the off

Lose 1st half 2-0,

Win 2nd half 4-1

Please keep Bogle in the side now Hursty.

Pleased with that, as long as we save some luck or whatever that was for the play offs!

Quoted from promotion plaice

This Match Thread will make some interesting reading in the morning............. 8)

Great come back.......UTM

Most on here wanted us to go for it with Bogle amond and the new lad involved hurst didn't. When his hand was forced the game flipped on its head

You lucky lucky man.

Maybe after five years you can learn by your mistakes.

Thing is i think paul could be a much better manager if he wasnt so fvcking stubborn.

Time to admit your way just does not work sometimes and changing it does not mean you were wrong ! Let the shackles off sometimes.

Does Hurst not know about my high blood pressure - can't take many games like tonight !!

If Pearson doesn't start next game, then there is no justice!!

OMG....

Conflicting emotions.....
brain scrambled...

Well done the 2nd half players.

Hurst inspired substitute fecking get in Paul Hursts black and white army.

I don't know whether to worry about the defensive situation, or celebrate the comeback... what a game!!

HUGE win. HUGE.

feck off tonduer you fecking jonah

I can't listen to the bloke personally, what did he say? Lol.

No doubt it'll be the same team that started today...

Hope we stay lucky until the end of the season Mr Hurst.

Hope we find ourselves a few goals up so the new lad gets a chance!

Tondeur saying rumour is a couple of Town fans left at half-time....... ;D

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

We were 2-0 down getting battered ,only an absolute lemon wouldn't make a change at HT.

What on Earth has happened to our defence over the past week? 8 goals conceded in the past 8 days, following 31 for the rest of the season combined. If we're going to get through the play-offs, that has to improve.

Four goals from 6 shots on target (according to BBC stats) is a pretty good return. Hope we can continue this ratio until the end of the season!

i believe BP Vicar has recent form for that.. ;)

I deleted my last post. My apologies to those I offended.

3 points in the end.

Glad Bogle took his chance.  Agree that he should have been given a long-run in the team to settle into this level of football.  And to develop a good partnership with Podge.

He could have made things easier for himself by having a more mature and professional attitude.  This would also have made it more difficult for Hurst to drop/rest him.  (Scoring more goals would also have helped here).

Quoted from jonnyboy82

BP Vicar has recent form...

Just got back from a work night out with no Wi-fi and no 4 or even 3 G.  Came on here and saw a 27 page thread assumed an 8-0 defeat.  Not convincing by any stretch but I would have taken a 1 nil at the start of the game.  Clearly conflicting views but a wins a win (I make comment about the selection).

Now to make a comment about the selection: Our best team I think is Macca, Tait, Pearson, Gowling, A left back (no harm in sitting on the fence), A winger (Jennings or Monkey), Dis, Nolan, Arnold, Amond, Bogle.  That team can win us the play offs!

Delighted with that, though worried about our leaky defence. I can't help but think how dim people sound when they say Hurst can't get us promoted- we lost the lottery of penalty kicks last year for the chance; a proverbial toss of the coin dictates we are not in League 2 right now. I'm sticking right behind this team (and the manager) until such point as our place in this league is confirmed for next season. Anything else is purely counter-productive.

Couldn't go tonight due to family issues and missed the first half. Listened to the commentary and two things stood out:-

1. Amond and Bogle were back to their early season gelling

2. Town's defence were bloody awful.

If "going for it" is at the expense of defensive security then we might need heart medication before the end of the month

Six tickets for the play off final just bought. This could be a real turning point. I hope so.
Six tickets (4 adults 2 seniors) £101 absolute bargain....I hope!!

Bizarrely enough, our form over the past 10 games is now the same as both Cheltenham and FGR - 17 points apiece!

If only we could have managed a good run of form instead of an indifferent one...  ::)

Win for us, and Dover, Braintree lost, gap between playoffs and 6th extended

Win for us, and Dover, Braintree lost, gap between playoffs and 6th extended

Calm down ,   we've beaten a team that we should have done anyway . Questions should be asked as to why the first half was a disaster , tactics , team selection etc .   Tough home game on Saturday see what happens then .

Its all about the points at this stage. Got a bit of luck for a change and the play offs are a step closer. Started as a nightmare and ended as a dream result at the death. Onto the next game and lessons hopefully learned.

Anything has to be more inspired than the starting line up.

Farting about with strikers who can't score and wingers who can't run has been the hallmark of ridiculous team selections for months.

Lucky, lucky man.

Just come on here and without trawling back I wonder how many would like a slice of fresh out of the oven humble pie?

Couldn't be arsedd to go tonight. Friday was the last straw. So, can't be bothered to read 250 comments.is it hurst out or hurst in?

I'll take tonight with a pinch of salt. At 14:45 on Saturday when that starting 11 comes out we'll truely see if Paul really has learnt his lesson. He got off the hook tonight, credit to the front players today for getting the game by the scruff of the neck and I'm delighted for Bogle.

Absolutely no credit for you though Paul, tonight has only gone to show what a limited manager you really are. I dread to think what a manager who would've encouraged the second half performance would've done for us, I fear this only proves that we've a good side who are held back by a shite manager.

Obviously not a convincing win but the manner of it might just bring the squad back together for a final go at it. A third defeat in a row and it would've felt increasingly bleak. I do get a lot of the frustrations but it is worth remembering that we really are still in with a shout of getting out of this league. Cheltenham are clearly the best team in the league and have the best manager but there's nobody else to fear. Must be odds on a Town vs Dover semi final now.

This.

How did Stewart play.

If Bogle and Arnold can join Podge and Nolan in getting a run of goals then that bodes well for the play offs.

The defence need to get back to their usual meanness though

Excellent - makes me smile - because unfortunately, that does appear to be right (my warped sense of humour). Hopefully, some bold selections, tactics  and motivation (FROM THE VERY START OF MATCHES) can ensure promotion now and reverse the trend.

He won't go with such an attacking line up from the start  next game as its not in his nature and he will be having kittens about conceding 8 in 3. Expect he will tighten things up again for the next game and back to the cautious approach. He's made more half time subs in the last few games than he has in 5 years. He will be hating it.

Post match interview -

to be honest - Nolan sounds like an honest lad..to be honest... :)

It's Eastleigh on Saturday isn't it? The likes of Constable and co. will have a field day if he doesn't!!

This fish isn't hooked. Town is a chameleon - ready to show its next layer  8)  

Been out tonight and just catching up on things. Only read the last couple of pages of this thread. Seeing posts saying Hurst got lucky with enforced substitutions? We're Hoban/Monkhouse injured?

Dunno if they were injured but they had to go off for their lack of contribution. Worst I've seen Monky play.

This. Cuts to the chase.

Stoked for Bogle and happy Stewart finally got a look in; resultant performance unlikely a coincidence.

Roll on Saturday.

I was there tonight.   Clearly less panic-inducing to be there in reality than to listening on the radio judging from this hysterical thread.

Everyone wants a "lucky manager".   You should be pleased!  Especially one who had the wit, foresight and contacts to identify, recruit and select those self-same players that you've just bigged-up Badger.

Yes mate ecstatic.

Being top scorer in the league below last season probably means he wasnt that hard to identify in the first place...

Is that 15 goals for bogle this season so far ? Not bad for a lad who finds himself in and out the team every five minutes when players like monkhouse just have to turn up to get a game ?

Just had a great laugh reading this thread, I wish some of you would actually go to a match, it would be hilarious listening to you.
It was much better than any comedy sketch by the two Ronnies.
