Why no devit or hannah

Something bizzare is going on with Devitt - anyone with any knowledge of football knows his twice the player of Colbeck (to be honest i quite rate Joe but Devitt is a class above at this level).
Surely he still isn't injuried? Or lacking so far behind in match fitness? Strange...

no Hannah!!

yep.

how colbeck gets infront of devitt is bizarre...

unless of an injury but very strange.

Think Colbeck is in for his defensive game,he provides a lot more cover for the full back than Devitt.

Glad hatton is being rested. BUT why no Ross or Devitt??????

Quoted from jonnyboy82

yep.

I can understand no Hannah, due to his lack of form at the minute.
But Devitt, very strange but I'm sure HandS no what their doing anyhow

Any one got trouble with radio humberside live lads??????????online

Devitt was poor against Ebbsfleet I thought. Like the managers have said its a squad effort.

Quoted from Wayno

No problem if you are a Hull fan,

Quoted from grimsby pete

No problem if you are a Hull fan,

Gathered that pete,i can hear them now but something wrong big style,2 conversations 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Devitt has been out of form, certainly not the player he was. Colbeck deserves an opportunity.

I thing we have to start squad rotating, to try and keep players fresh but Ross Hannah should already be fresh.

Devitt can also change a game from the bench...

Gloucester site!

Well my connection is more quiet than the Pontoon on a match day.

Big game tonight. Difficult to see many of the other top sides dropping too many points so looks like a must win

Don't think  Devitt has lived up to expectations since he came back, however he is better than Colbeck going forward. Colbeck is better defensively and thats probably why he has the nod tonight. Thye play 4-3-3 I believe.

Don't think   there is anything bizzare in it

We have life!

BBC Humberside sorted for me now

Quoted from GyMariner

BBC Humberside sorted for me now

Do you have a link please

C, mon town !!!!!

Wrexham 1-0 up already

Quoted from alvinghammariner

Wrexham 1-0 up already

Fucksake

Alfreton game off due to fog, and Gateshead v kiddy is at York today and thick fog already could get abandoned,

Gateshead must be very unlucky if it does get called off! :D

Adebola at 37yrs old in 3 minutes.

Seems to be many misplaced passes, and all what i have heard currently is "long ball by wood",long ball by miller", i have heard that at least 5 times, get it on the ground for god sake

2-0 Wrexham

Brodie is a flipping moron

Is it just me or does matt dean seem alot better commentator than JT?

To be fair looking at the fixtures it was only ever newport that might drop points tonight

Marshall sounded good then, hopefully he'll show his pre-recall form again

I see that Mr Neilson isn't even on their bench tonight ??

Quoted from acko338

I see that Mr Neilson isn't even on their bench tonight ??

Their bench must lack ambition.

I also prefer Matt Dean to Tondeur. Shame to hear us wasting set pieces with poor delivery. A consequence of dropping Hatton perhaps. Sounds like Rob Scott is charming folk as usual.

I have just looked out of my window (in York). There is indeed thick fog.   There was no fog when I came home an hours ago.  Gateshead must think the Gods are conspiring against them.

Brodie needs to be careful after being booked - it would be typical luck for us for a ref to find a small minor offence to be enough to drop us to 10 men!

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

I'm between York and Harrogate and there's no fog to speak of.

thanoj, get in. Roll in the hate ;D

Sounds like a groin injury for Niven. Not good.

Niven going off injured :/

Balls, Niven injured.

Niven injured,thanoj on.

Niv is going off, were going to get ripped in midfield defensively

excrement! Niven coming off  ??)

Niven looks to go off, hopefully thanoj can unlock the defence.

Fannodge on for Niven

Derek Niven Injured,Andi Thanoj coming on.

Not a good thing that niven is injured, but thanoj could provide the pass that opens forest green up

Anyone know if Niven has gone off? and if so who replaced him?

Had naylor been in the bench that would've been an easier one. Thanoj may get the ball down though and put a foot on the ball more than Niven perhaps.

:)

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Anyone know if Niven has gone off? and if so who replaced him?

yes..

Thanoj on for niven as he seems to have injured himself. :P

Is Thanoj more suited to play on an organic pitch? ;D

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Anyone know if Niven has gone off? and if so who replaced him?

I think he may have gone off and Thanoj could have replaced him? :)

Thanks, I wasn't sure.

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Thanks, I wasn't sure.

No probs..

im surprised this wasn`t mentioned before.

What and put Bradley Wood in midfield? Risky given Wood is relatively untried in CM.

Quoted from coddy60

And never will be

You mean... And never shall be.

Any substitutions yet? We need some clarity on here...

The Who are looking to play their "Substitute?"

Will that do?

Quoted from davmariner

No but i think Hatton is...

we need creators in games like these, i'd have gone marshall thanoj devitt Hannah all to start

I'm suprised the players havn't all collapsed...according to the commentator ther is no atmosphere at all in the ground!

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Indeed it does. I am in the lower Ure valley, and we sometimes escape!

Let's just keep it 0-0 until half time, hopefully Fannodge will open them up later

We could do with a sudden fog at Wrexham....

Is it getting foggy in Wrexham yet?

Hereford  1 nil up

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Is it just me or does matt dean seem alot better commentator than JT?

He's just gone up in my estimations after slagging the drum off.

I'm hearing a lot of 'long balls' and poor final balls. Gah.
Still, ok with 0-0 so far.

phew!!

Newport losing 1-0

intercourse, come on town!! step it up ::)

Phew post

Lol at the posh southern commentator "Oh my word"

Bloody Nora lucky there.

Newport losing

This sounds very boring.

newport losing, come on town

come on town at least have a shot or show some intent in winning the match..

Quoted from banos

Hereford  1 nil up

Nice....even if we drew this and won the next 2 we would go top hopefully, ifs and buts though.

Quoted from davmariner

What and put Bradley Wood in midfield? Risky given Wood is relatively untried in CM.

No naylor in centre mid and wood can play in centre back so wood there and hatton in right back, having said that i understand that hatton can play in centre mid aswell

No point of playing 2 target men with Thanoj and Dis in centre midfield - wastes them

Wood in CM? Are you mad?

Sorry I meant, You are mad!

Quoted from bradzmilne

No point of playing 2 target men with Thanoj and Dis in centre midfield - wastes them

Brodie isn't a target man.

BRING ON HANNAH

We need to step it up a bit 2nd half.

wrexham 4 up

Crazy they dont get the ball to the wings at all! Scott will be telling them to use colbeck are marshall but doesnt go!!!!

Has anyone else got a 5 minute delay between Mariners Player and real time???

4 to go on commentary, but the Sky site says 0-0 at half time?

Lost track of the number of times I've heard "Oh poor delivery again". This will come back to bite us hard unless we sort it. A feature of just about every game since Christmas...

Mariners Player is always a bit behind.  It's in real time if you listen to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_humberside

Breaking news.....Ebbsfleet are useless.

I just hope Gateshead and Hereford can hang on to what they've got

Nice to hear from Burnett, good interview

Wayne Burnett - top man. Great interview

Quoted from bradzmilne

What would you class him as then?

I dont think brodie is a target man, i dont know what he is, probably abit of everything, certainly not an out and out target man in my opinion

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Nice to hear from Burnett, good interview

Agreed, sounds a top lad.

Quoted from aaron rattray

Doesn't sound good for Niven!

Quoted from barralad

In a game where set-pieces or crosses could be decisive, our best two at this - Devitt and Hatton are not on the pitch.

273 fans at gateshead v kiddy

We do not sound at all threatening or like we are going to score..

i would not mind but even a little excitement would do me.

And only 744 at Forest Green!
Come on, beat this tinpot club

Quoted from jonnyboy82

"promising move for town"

Sadly at work but trying to keep up. Just seen the crowd tonight is 744?!?!  Is that really the only support a  financially well backed team can manage? Poor. Now come on town make my night shift fly by!!!

Any mention of roughly how many Town fans are there?

Quoted from Paris Mariner

Any mention of roughly how many Town fans are there?

Radio Gloucs guessed around 200.

199 apparently...

Quoted from Paris Mariner

Any mention of roughly how many Town fans are there?

i think they said about 250 earlier

Around 200 then :)

That's good. Fair play to them.

WHY OH WHY

FFS Not The Shop  ??)

FFS get hannah on over lewis!

John Lewis? Really? Why Not Ross Hannah? Has he drunk the managers off or something?

Brodie off for LJL?

Doesn't make any sense to me, surely Hannah would have been the different option.

Cant fault the lads heart, but he can't finish!

Newport still 1 down. Kidderminster 0-0 with Gateshead. Wrexham pi$$ing it 4 zip.

No devitt or hannah yet... Are they on cr crack!

Who knows, maybe LJL and Cook will click

Devitt time please Mr Hurst & Mr Scott

Devitt for Colbeck looks obvious, but they might not want to expose a potential vulnerability defensively. Maybe 80's glory will get some answers to his questions of last night..?

Keep it tight, or try to score and win........

I've got a horrible feeling that a FGR goal is imminent (gulp).....(bash)

C'mon Town, just 1 goal, please....

Time for shop to be a hero

Gateshead 1 nil up come on town

PS: Snafu - the fog has well and truly arrived!

newport 1-1

Lennell John lewis seems good so far

We need 3 points, C, mon town don't let em back into it.

TFFT



UTM

Orgasmic

Hereford winning again 2-1

hereford 2- newport 1 now come on town

Thanoj sounds like hes bossing this game! Miller and Naylor solid, Disley and Marshall better thi s half

Listening to radio blunder side....
Who's the commentator?  He's great after the morose JT!
UTM

If these scores stay the same you can consider us right back in the title picture. Enough games in hand on Wrexham

The Ebbsfleet comeback is on too, 4-1 now.  ;)

Quoted from chaos33

Wouldn't be too bad if Newport finished 1-1 if we get 3 points. 2 gained on them.

Are they not losing 2-1

Newport losing 2-1 - Ebbsfleet start the fight back  - now 4-1, just three more quick goals then??

Newport losing 2-1 now.

Come on the fleet ;D

Newport 2-2 now

newport scoreds 2-2 now

FFS Newport, fck off.

If its a knock ok.. But surely you never change the back 4 of a winning side that have not conceded otherwose

Ebbsfleet reducing Wrexham's better GD over us.

come on town!!!

Please.

Come on town please hang on.

This will be a massive 3 points.

Massive 3 points, well done GTFC

Great result.  Come on Town!

UTM

Huge win!! Well done to all involved  :) :) :)

gateshead 2-0

Nice one, is there an updated table anywhere?

GET IN THERE TOWN. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great result and if Kiddy lose then tonight has been good.

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Nice one, is there an updated table anywhere?

BBC football page.

commentator is wrong it was 2-0 to gateshead!!
saw the gold flash saying GOAL!!! on scorecentre, was like oh no..... and then saw 2-0 :)

Bbc sport town 3rd

Get in 2-0 to the Heed.

This sets the team up for Sat with much greater confidence and in a stronger position.  Every team on a long winning run has to have a few defeats to balance things up!

Great result i said 1-1 naylor to score glad i only got second bit rite

That is almost the top 5 sorted now. Just need it to be in the right order!

flipping newport lucky gits

Last min winner for Newport

as long as teams around us are drawing/losing when we win, Newport's win is still a crap result for us, and even better Kidderminster losing 2-0 a game before they play us. All in all a fantastic night, lets take each game in turn and crack on

FFS   nEWPORT 3-2 UP 90 MINS

Newport last minute winner. excrement

neweport the jammy gits

flipping sheep shagging girl privates Newport just scored 93rd minute winner

intercourse off Newport, they have to start dropping points soon

F**k off Newport!!!!!!

Still a good night tbh we won, and one of the teams around us lost

Disapointing about the Newport game but we just won a extremely hard game and also got a clean sheet out of it so roll in Saturday :) :)

Sod Newport, as long as we keep winning that's all that matters.

Newport you illegitimates

lets take the positives, i was in such a good mood :-/

Got to admire Newport though. To score 3 away from home deserves the points.

Still gutting.  :(

All eyes on Dartford Friday night now. Come on Darts!

Good try, Hereford, just couldn't hold it for us!

Well played to Gateshead !

Building upto a cracking finish, hats off to Newport tonight, trailing twice to win it in injury time. Will fill them with confidence.

Nevermind we can only affect the games we play in and weve done that tonight, cracking hard earnt result and we even rode a bit of luck at times tonight which is nice for a change!

Nice win tonight. Sounds like they did well - better and better as the game wore on. Chipping away at Kiddy's lead on us.

Yeah shame about Newport. Tonight.

Wrexham were always going to win that one.

:)

Good win for us, in fact massive. Newport grabbed a good win but I still think they concede too many and against better sides they've struggled.

At least Kiddy lost!

Quoted from bradzmilne

Niv is going off, were going to get ripped in midfield defensively

:P

what a great result for town tonight, am happy as a pig in shite.  kidderminster lost, what a bonus, ok so newport got out of jail again, but look at thier match stats and on the balance of play to have that many shots at goal away from home and you deserve to win.
This has not taken the gloss off a fantastic result for town, and for all our moans and groans regarding wrexham, newport etc the facts of the matter is that town can only affect the results of our own matches and by 'eck we are getting good at that just lately. looking forward to saturday now, keep the faith UTM well done lads.

We can sort Newport out on the last league game of the season.  Hopefully, with a big crowd and something special to aim for.

Newport seem very good at last minute winners and equalisers and generally coming from behind, and no clever comments folks you know what I mean. :P

great win guys, well done

With Kiddy losing tonight and us winning, it takes the pressure of Saturday abit, they are our bogey team in the BSP, but if they won tonight and beat us Saturday we could have been 7 points behind, now if we lose we will only be 4 points behind with 3 games in  hand.

Hoepfully we finally get a result over them though and put to bed their title aspirations. Our record against the top 8 sides this season is very impressive so we shouldn't be fearing Kiddy anymore.

Thanoj  makes the difference. Hmmmm, the creative midfielder who can boss the midfield and make things happen?
Just what some of us believe we are crying out for! (The older ones among us?)

We had the hardest game out of the teams at the top but we won and one of the other teams dropped points. Keep doing this and we'll be fine. But one game at a time!

I think Thanoj (judging by the commentary) came into his stride more and more as the game moved on. He could probably exploit the space more than Niven.

But we still need Yard Dog MkII.

Excellent win tonight and very pleased that Kiddy lost - they were really starting to worry me! I still can't bring myself to be worried about Newport though - think thy can easily be beaten!

Fantastic result for town tonight, so come Saturday let's get behind the boys and sing them to victory.UTM

Surely got to strengthen midfield if Niven out for any period of time because we are down to the bare bones.

The bottom line after tonight is that it is still in our own hands. Thirteen games is loads, but the one game at a time brigade are right, and whilst its tense as intercourse I'd have taken this back in August.

Oh and Luton; pffffffttttt!!!

Great win and on Saturday a chance to deliver a hammer blow to kidi after their loss tonight.

Just noticed Luton are closer to the relegation zone than to us  :)

From a FGR fan :-

"Not a good night , but credit to Grimsby and their travelling fans , IMHO that's by far the best side I've seen at The New Lawn this season."

If we beat kiddy on Saturday that would be a massive blow to them. The teams around all have games in hand and show no signs of easing up. A defeat is a far bigger blow to them than us in my opinion.

If we get 6 points from these 3 key games happy days, 7 would be great and 9, well...I say get that party started...lol

Updated #BSBP Title Prices from Blue Square Bet: 7/4f Grimsby, 2/1 Wrexham, 7/2 Newport, 9/2 Mansfield, 11/2 Kidderminster, 40/1 FGR. 200/1+

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

This sets the team up for Sat with much greater confidence and in a stronger position.

Spot on x 100 !

Whatever happens (and I've already predicted a win) we've already bagged 3 pts.
It's a flipping HUGE relief !  :)

If we beat Kiddy we're 2 point clear + 3 games in hand on them !  ??) :)

Let's not get TOO carried away though cos Hurst may a fair point and said it could be their "blip" - and he may well be right.

But let's be honest here, he's a "feet on the ground" bloke anyway (quite rightly)
We'd be a lot more nervy had we drawn and they'd won again.

Great win against a good side struggling for promotion form. And six points off them, superb! Well done lads, now for Kidderminster? : ;D

Quoted from arryarryarry

From a FGR fan :-

"Not a good night , but credit to Grimsby and their travelling fans , IMHO that's by far the best side I've seen at The New Lawn this season."

Well that is good to hear!

Think that result has finished FGR off now as contenders and barring a disaster, we are almost guaranteed a play off spot at the very least. If we beat Kiddy on Saturday (have we ever beaten them?), that will cast them adrift slightly and up our chances greatly.

All getting tight now and we could really do with a winning streak to shake off a couple of teams.

Quoted from ginnywings

(have we ever beaten them?)

Only once and that was at home in 2004

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Only once and that was at home in 2004

could say we are somewhat overdue then

Exactly !

Just wonder though, are they more likely to want to win NOW their unbeaten run has gone ?
No idea but sometimes teams who don't want to LOSE (their run) "tighten up" so to speak.

Well god knows tbh but I'm not overly worried.
Give me a bumper crowd and fervent home support any day.
We know 2 losses on the bounce won't do them no favours for sure.

Quoted from arryarryarry

From a FGR fan :-

"Not a good night , but credit to Grimsby and their travelling fans , IMHO that's by far the best side I've seen at The New Lawn this season."

Yeah saw that as well, been browsing a few boards, Wrexham give me the impression there home and dry, don't they have to play any of the top 6?  If we won our games in hand we go top 2 pts ahead of Wrexham 3 ahead of kiddy but level with Newport.

This is the best way to approach these last games every battle is a massive win and against a rival like Kiddi would be a massive result.

That would be a major blow to their promotion ambitions. I am too frightened to look at the big picture just take every game as a cup final must win game and don't worry about Newport,Wrexham etc.

Come on lads you can do it keep going. UTM
