Team news due shortly. 5 changes from last week apparently! UTFM!

sulliman starts frigging hell  about time well played jolly

Easah Suliman makes his debut, excellent news

dembele up top with Matt too

McKeown, Clarke (c), Collins, Suliman, Davies, Rose, Berrett, Clifton, Fox, Dembele, Matt.
Subs: Killip, Mills, Hall-Johnson, Kelly, Cardwell, Hooper, Jaiyesimi.

He’s got this spot on with who we’ve got available

Looking forward to seeing how Dembele does in presumably more of a free role.

Well.....at least he has shook it up. Asking alot of Davies maybe if that lines up like a 3-5-2 ...but with Mills and RHJ on the bench maybe just run your legs your off and we will take you off when you are spewing.

Can't see any creativity in the middle still, unless Clifton can do that job?

Is McAllister injured then? Not even on the bench. I'm also concerned that it looks like Davies is at wing-back and as much as I think he's a great professional, the last time he played there was at Pompey and it was awful.

No cm's on the bench. What has mcallister gotta do to even make the bench. Like that line up though with dembele given freedom and less chance of being man marked.

Thankfully MJ can tell already that woolford and vernon offer nothing already.

Cmon boys

I love MJ already 😁

Maybe people need to accept there's a reason McCallister isn't being picked if our third manager this season has chosen not to include him? Maybe the injuries have taken their toll.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Yeah that's a reasonable explanation. I'm just going off the fact that he himself said he was fit recently but you could be  right and he's not the player he once was.

looks like Davies and Fox will be asked to work hard, considering two like for like replacements on the bench.  Same goes up top.  The 6 in CM and central defence better not get injured tho!

As I gave mentioned previously when McCallister wasn't picked, is his contract based more on appearances than a weekly wage, hence Fenty is still picking the team!!!

He did alright there at Colchester a few weeks back (I think)

Davies is not young anymore but still a class  player, Fox maybe not 100% up to speed yet,

So Mills AND H-J   on when they tire I would think.

Quoted from Gaffer58

If it is the poor fornicator won't have taken much home in the last 2 years!

LETS GO LADS. UTM.

There is a difference between a man saying he is 100% fit,

AND

Being match fit, we have so many fitness coaches and managers ect that monitor a players actual fitness that although he thinks he is fit, he isn't.

He needs a run of games to be match fit and  he has not done that for one reason or another.

Feel sorry for the Vale fans looks like another case of fans are criminals as two coach loads escorted by police riot squads down to the ground

On a positive though. Jolly just gotna great reception from the fans

Feel for Mills, he has been one of the few who have given 100% and have turned in any sort of performance lately

Quoted from Gaffer58

As I gave mentioned previously when McCallister wasn't picked, is his contract based more on appearances than a weekly wage, hence Fenty is still picking the team!!!

Fenty is not picking the team FFS

Great atmosphere here at the park, C,Mon Town!

And don't we normally moan and slag off the manager when Berrett is picked? (or is it only when Wilko picks him)

Quoted from Ipswin

And don't we normally moan and slag off the manager when Berrett is picked?

Who would replace him Clements and McAlister are out?

Great positive start by Town, Fox looks very composed, Jolley giving instructions from the sideline, good start this.

Just like Town to win now I'm away on a short break, not that I would be complaining.

Losing 1-0

Patience..........long time to go

1-0 to them man free at back post to control and score.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Just like Town to win now I'm away on a short break, not that I would be complaining.

Don’t hold your breath

I was thinking to myself earlier if they get an early goal we’ve had it , these wasters haven’t got a come back in them whoever is managing them

Quoted from grimps

I was thinking to myself earlier if they get an early goal we’ve had it , these wasters haven’t got a come back in them whoever is managing them

True.....we sound poor at the moment.

Only the name on the manager's door has changed.

We'll be fine........Wilko is offering Jolley some advice.

Not the team i would have picked but still a long way to go.  

Quoted from promotion plaice

We'll be fine........Wilko is offering Jolley some advice.

As it stands right now we may as well still  have Wilko in charge;)

Ex players have a tendency to haunt their former clubs.  I just think MJ missed a trick.  But what do i know ☺

Take off Berret put Davis in there.
Berret & Rose CM no wonder we can't win a game.

Berret and Rose are possibly the 2 poorest midfielders we’ve had at this club

Sad state of affairs when you hope Lincoln will win   :o

Whats the atmosphere like.....any disgruntled fans?  

Our biggest problem is goals.  No one really scoring up top and no one contributing from midfield.  C'mon town this is killing me ☺

The Lincoln game on BBC sport website doesn't move past 26 mins, is it them?, or has something happened?

I can see us biting our nails well gone five because it looks like the kick off at Chesterfield was delayed.

Ah, I see it was a delay during the game.

Quoted from lee65

The Lincoln game on BBC sport website doesn't move past 26 mins, is it them?, or has something happened?

They had to call in an air ambulance because a fan has collapsed and was given CPR

I cant cope with it. The players are so poor, driving me to tears

Simply dreadful first half with an appalling goal given away. Making Vale look world beaters. Could be 3 down easily but for a great save by Macca and a post (I think - actually thought that one was in)
No energy in midfield, no goal threat whatsoever, no movement. Nothing but effort and that alone is not good enough.
Truly truly shocking.

midfield are slow to support the attacks and to help track back .

Wow just wow . Players are strolling through this game ... what has slade done ..... 37 year nearly to the day since my first town game . I feel broken watching this ... it's alright the fans being all town but these players certainly don't give a intercourse . Rose , Matt, Dembele , just don't look interested

Absolute shambles. New system is very much not working.

Another appalling performance. Clarke, Berrett & Rose are criminally bad, Davies can't even make a 5 yard pass & this Fox lad somehow isn't even an improvement on Dixon. Massive gaps between midfield & the isolated Matt, who's again showing he can't function as a lone target man effectively, and Dembele is still struggling to find an end product. Only players up to standard are Clifton & McKeown (made an incredible save to keep it at 1-0 after the defence parted to let their lad in for a free shot). Suliman hasn't been too bad either.

Anyway, we're getting relegated no doubt about it.

Jolley hasn't instilled any work ethic yet then, I know he's stuck with Slade's squad and couldn't turn them into footballers given 7 years never mind 7 days but I had hoped a new man might just have spurred a few on and he might have kicked the odd bottom

I'm having a Jolley good time a Golden Sands Mabelthorpe.....the beer is flowing......relaxed, calm and relaxed. again.....UTM

I said months ago Clifton was the best midfielder at the club even though he hadn’t made his debut  , I was laughed at ...him and the keeper the only ones worth keeping next year in non league , the rest can fuk off

For MJ this is telling him alot about his players he has inherited.  I dont like it IF other people have alot of influence on whos played well etc...i hope this isnt the case.  I reckon it will be a different line up in the next game.

For the 1st time I really am seeing the threat of relegation as a real possibility.

Forget 5 point gap if things stay the same, the lack of quality in this team is worst I have seen in 45 years of watching Town. Literally. No exaggeration

Slade has taken a mid table side and turned them into this.

If we go down, that could be it for another 6 years.

MJ a promising new manager but not a bloody magician 🎩

Same old shite!
Thanks Fenty
You stubborn fool!
Do not blame Jolley for this!
He inherited a complete mess.
We are a joke of a football club.
New grounds for me to visit Chorley and Curzon Ashton
Never mind Conference I can see us going even further down!

Chesterfield 1 up

How Berrett is still getting game time is beyond me, shocking player, players have no imagination what to do in final 3rd, the calamity at the end in front of goal magnifying how poor these players are and Jolly needs to bring in at least 3 new faces to inject pace and guile into this poor poor side.

Chesterfield 1 up

Let's see if the half time talk / roasting does anything.

I can’t see any of this lot getting another professional club after this season , They’ll even struggle to get a job emptying the bins now it’s gone fortnightly

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

I said months ago Clifton was the best midfielder at the club even though he hadn’t made his debut  , I was laughed at ...him and the keeper the only ones worth keeping next year in non league , the rest can fuk off

Time Macca looked elsewhere too give the young lad Killip a chance Non league would be a good grounding for him

Quoted from jock dock tower

Let's see if the half time talk / roasting does anything.

The way this lot are performing .........at half time they probably get roasties.

Id rather keep macca Ipswin.  

Quoted from Meza

Not a lot he can do as most of this squad are excrement.

Quoted from promotion plaice

That would make Clarke happy as an alternative potato option from the chips he had for breakfast

Quoted from Ipswin

FFS I see the knives are out ... they've only played 45 minutes under him!  He's only had them since Monday/Tuesday!

My brother has just text me to say berrett is sh1t, and he knows fu(k all about football



And neither does my brother

Just put the ball in the net

Sorry, corrected your post below.  The whole team is a shambles from the top to the bottom.

Quoted from Marinerz93

This is a group of players that are sleep walking to relegation. The difference today? Vale look like they want it more

Quoted from Teesknees

FFS I see the knives are out ... they've only played 45 minutes under him!  He's only had them since Monday/Tuesday!

But you often get a honeymoon period when the team play out of their skins to impress the new manager. Unfortunately with all the loaness this doesnt happen.
I was upbeat about this game this morning. When I parked up at  2.45 I was full of dread and headed home instead. Fod once a good decision

Quoted from Teesknees

FFS I see the knives are out ... they've only played 45 minutes under him!  He's only had them since Monday/Tuesday!

Read it again buffoon

I'm saying that even the arrival of a new manager has clearly not motivated the bunch of shite he has to pick from, not having a pop at him at all  - wait until we are relegated

Motivation is about getting the most out of someone, making them dig deep down to give everything they've got. Sadly the vast majority of this squad doesn't have anything more to give, they're just shite.

Lincoln make it 1-1 against Chesterfield

WTF was Rose doing?

Quoted from Teesknees

FFS I see the knives are out ... they've only played 45 minutes under him!  He's only had them since Monday/Tuesday!

Ah yes, I suspect the most common comments later today will be "he needs to be given time to rebuild the team" and  "We have to be patient" I'm sorry but we are being sucked into a relegation battle we don't have time to rebuild or be patient.

Peno

Reading the Port Vale forum before the game I got the impression some of their fans thought a good portion of their were crap and some were talking of wanting Aspin out.

Well they are a class above our shower of shite.

Oh I guess Michael Tonge is still playing football. 34 and looks about 54.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

This is a group of players that are sleep walking to relegation. The difference today? Vale look like they want it more

Exclude Macca and Clifton from that BTW

I thought there was a peno?

Quoted from Meza

I thought there was a peno?

There was. It was saved.

Macca saved it

Ah.....everyone seemed to have missed that lol

Would Macca and Clifton even want to stay

Two penalty saves in two games. Well done that man.

Just when it can't get worse.... Kelly

It’s just a shame we’ve not had a shot on target in the last five games

Quoted from jock dock tower

Two penalty saves in two games. Well done that man.

Yes well done Macca,

Now can you go up for a corner and score a goal,

Because none of the useless ones up there know how.

Quoted from jock dock tower

Two penalty saves in two games. Well done that man.

Even though he shouldn't be put in that position in the first place. It's like some players take delight in making sure we lose.

Hallelujah.

Get in 1-1

Hahaha berrett fml lol

Lincoln winning

Lincoln  2:1 up.

Morecambe winning

HOLY MOLEY

YES !!!!!!!!

Apparently people are more interested in Lincoln than our game. Go switch to Lincoln then it;'s only down the road. Can probably make it to every home game.

James Berret had an energetic destroying game last week and this is his reward - pleased for him. He can help keep us up. Get behind him and the team.
UTM

Town equalise
Chesterfield concede
Morecambe concede
The tide is turning

Quoted from Meza

Morecambe winning

Are they ?

Bit of a delay here, Vale fans kicking off with stewards.

It's a funny old game.

Quoted from Kris2

Don't be so bloody prissy. You know why people are interested in the Lincoln game.

I didnt see it as that i saw it as lincoln beating chesterfield.  We dont want those below us picking up points.

Thats not the case at all its simply that Chesterfields results are just as important as Towns more so in fact, if we can't win its vital they don't either - buffoon

I didn't go today........did we deserve a draw ?

Back to our game, is it still going? Bit confused at what happened.

WTF what happened to mariner player???

FT 1-1

A point with a late equaliser is at least something to build on.  

Just finished my humble pie, great turn and shot from Berrett, felt we deserved a share of the points however, we need to press more.

Quoted from LondonMariner43

A point with a late equaliser is at least something to build on.  

Agree when was the last time we got a last minute equaliser or winner ?

Not a Jolley good start but a Jolley decent one in the end.

Test - just posted a another positive message to all but it seems to have been diverted somewhere else - hmmm!

Linscum 3-1 up now!

We need all the help we can..

Its good to see a fight-back. Shows the players are getting behind Jolley

A point is a good result considering we was loosing. It may not be the 3 points we all wanted before kick off but it’s something to build on.

Couldn’t make it today, how did fox do today ?

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Couldn’t make it today, how did fox do today ?

He was better then Dixon, but so is a 1 legged deer. Looked fit and got a full 90 minutes bombing it up and down the pitch.

His techniqual ability was a bit so so his crosses especially, but he hasn't played with the lads before and isn't match sharp so theres time for that to grow.

But for a 97th min equaliser by Crewe, we would have moved up the table. Not too bad all round considering we were outplayed. Another point in front of the bottom and another round of games gone, Let's hope we can keep our noses in front. We were down to 3rd bottom at one stage today.

I saw that Ginny, it looked desperate at that point, with Chesterfields games in hand!

Aye. Most positive thing is the fight back and late equaliser. Shows it can be done. Be ace if we can go one better next week.

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Feel sorry for the Vale fans looks like another case of fans are criminals as two coach loads escorted by police riot squads down to the ground

Morons kicked off big time after we scored trying to get to the town fans n the lower findus.

Oh I know. Clearly was deserved. We were walking through Cleethorpes before the match and there were no signs of trouble when I posted that.

Quoted from Ipswin

Time Macca looked elsewhere too give the young lad Killip a chance Non league would be a good grounding for him

Sorry Swin you really do talk absolute shitt.

To be fair a draw seemed fair given Maccas commanding performance and the penno save, We fought tooth and nail to get that draw and were on top near the end shame the long delay due to crowd trouble took away our momentum.

Fantastic atmosphere form both sets of fans thought Davis had too much to do as a wing back he can't get past his man the crosses were not good either.
