Jt reckons ljl drops out for cook with southwell partnering him??? TAylor starts

More Southwell :o

Get Hearn in the bloody squad!

Has anyone seen aaron yet ?

Southwell starts upfront with cook.

I have seen nothing in southwell to see why he even makes the bench

Will have to see what he does today.

Hannah should be starting on the basis that at one point this season he looked like a confident, goal-scoring poacher. Southwell has never looked anything like that sort of player.

Taylor to start? Scott said he looked sharp-ish but lacked fitness for 90 mins. Maybe we're going all out to get goals, that would settle us.

Hmmm, another strange decision. Hope it works because nothing else has seemed to recently and this could just alienate the fans.

I think Southwell has a lot of potential, but is not ready to be thrown in at such a pivotal time.

Hope i'm wrong.

Agree, would have rather seen Hannah partner cook than Southwell. But, who knows! As long as we have 3 points at 5pm, I couldn't care if lord Lucan and Red rum were up front!

Hannahs confidence must be sky high..

jeez dropped for  a winger.

drunk off we dont stick with him for a run of games.

Don't be daft. Lord Lucan is a natural centre half and Red Rum is too slow nowadays.

Another shocking line up from the managers have no faith in there decision any more

Lets all pick on Southwell before the kick off FFS  :B

Quoted from TAGG

Lets all pick on Southwell before the kick off FFS  :B

I hope he proves me wrong, but a half-fit Hearn or an out of form Hannah are still more likely to score a goal than him. It's a poor selection from the managers in my opinion.

Looks like we have gone for either 433 or 451 with Southwell and Taylor on either wings

Quoted from mariners till i die

Looks like we have gone for either 433 or 451 with Southwell and Taylor on either wings

Nah I think it's 442 like this:

                      McKeown
Wood/Hatton (???) Pearson Miller Thomas
         Devitt Naylor Thanoj Taylor
                 Cook Southwell

Quoted from ginnywings

Don't be daft. Lord Lucan is a natural centre half and Red Rum is too slow nowadays.

Would still give half our squad a decent race.

   The managers watch the players in training every day and know a lot more about them than we do. If they have gone for Southwell to start there is a reason. No one can guarantee results ( though we desparately need a good one today ) but I trust their judgement, hard as this might be for you to believe Chrisblor, even more than yours. Let's wait and see what happens before we start saying they got it wrong.

Come on town! lets get back to wembley!

Come on Town lets have a good up beat performance on build non the last 2 performances.  Keep the ball on the deck and take the game to them without leaving it overstretched at the back.  A win today and the season is still on track.

UTM

Early goal please

I thought I just heard AB being positive about a town player

ffs come on Taylor you have to score there

Sound absolutely shocking!

Come on Town, keep the pressure on them

UTM

How many time today have we heard "chipped it in but its too long" get the ball on the deck and play to feet.

Hyde beating Wrexham 1-0

Cookie needs to keep his cool today, Barrow will now how to wind him up and will keep trying to niggle him.  Needs to let his football do the talking and bag a couple today.

UTM

Ebbs fleet 0 - fgr 1

shitte

Sounds like we're still sorely lacking any ideas or creativity :o

Come on Town

Gimps 1 up

This sounds bloody rubbish.

And another one from Thomas. We can change the strikers all we like but it won't deal with the real problem

Kiddie losing 1-0

Can't even take a corner properly ffs.

"poor"  "terrible"..... how many times are we going to keep hearing these words from JT and AB today

Absolutete shizzle,

Scotty get the bloody hair dryer out ad sort this shiit out.

"They seem empty" like the hope I got for gtfc at the minute  :-/

Devitt sounds as though he hasn't turned up, but to be fair I don't think he is the only one - the players need a big boot up the bottom for the 2nd half.

Wrexham 1-0 down.

Just poor. Struggling to remember how this bunch even got into the top 5. Devitt underwhelming, Taylor sounds too unfit for a game. We're just so blunt and predictable. As soon as Tondeurs voice rises a touch I see if I can count to 5 before the move breaks down. Don't know what the next step is...

Poor game, i have brought 4 neutrals to the game today and they all say the same, We need a spark in the second half.

What are the commentators saying about the game ?

It is very poor. One good chance that Taylor just didn't know what to do with. Southwell made some good runs in front of right midfielder (devitt and Taylor swapping ). Thanoj decent first half.

the words not bothered and no idea come to mind buckley described it as a end of season match with players lopking jadded and tired with no spark anywhere.

And knack3red!

Telford near enough down :(

Losing 2-0

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Poor game, i have brought 4 neutrals to the game today and they all say the same, We need a spark in the second half.

What are the commentators saying about the game ?

Commentators saying pretty much the same.  Saying that we are struggling to string any passes together and that the pitch is a poor playing surface today but are not using the pitch as an excuse.  JT and Buckley saying that Taylor is looking like he hasn't played for a while and that Devitt isn't up to much today.  Too much long ball instead of to feet.

UTM

this is the team that got hammered 8-0 come on town

Think we need to bring Hannah on soon, he is a busy player who will come deep for the ball and is pacey when he gets the opportunity.

UTM

I said we wouldn't make the play offs a few weeks ago. These are virtually the worst team in the league and we're matching them.

Kiddie now 1-1

Kidderminster equalise. Meanwhile we look to bring on 0 goal striker John-Lewis as a solution to this stalemate.

john Lewis on for cookie wtf

Cook off!

LJL on for Cook, Wilson on for Devitt

What a joke these two are  :(

Barrow respond to our game-changing substitution by hitting the Town post :o

Quoted from winston

What a joke these two are  :(

They know best!  :o

Kiddy 2-1

And Kidderminster go from behind to ahead in the space of 2 minutes.

Getting drunk off with these two male masturbators

Me and wembleydouble98 are agreed on the reason that we are giving away points and not playing to our previous best, is that whenever McKeown gets the ball either from a goal-kick, free-kick or otherwise, we always hear, and i quote "James Mckeown kicks it long" "Mckeown puts a long ball down the field" "James Mckeown puts a long ball down the middle" notice the common word is long, From what my dad has told me is whenever he used to either go or listen to the GTFC games it would be "davison rolls the ball to McDermott, down to black, inside to groves" back then we were playing possession football now we are HOOFING it down the pitch, and we are not getting it down and playing it, S&H are obviously telling them to HOOF it long and just clear it, when we were winning game after game,after game we were playing good football. Anyone else agree with me? UTM

Barrow hit the post coming into it WTF

Macc 1-0 now too

FFS totally baffled by what I'm hearing now, the substitutions are somewhat baffling to say the least.  S & H obviously can see something though!

Kiddie now winning 2-1, Macc winning 1-0

Macclesfield now winning (and hauling us and the last playoff place in)

I'm starting to think that Scott and Hurst may have had a mini break down sometime around January. Their substitutions, team selections and tactics since then have been bizarre to say the least.

Earlier in the season when Hatton was mainly playing at right-back we'd quite often roll the ball out to his, or Thomas's feet and play on from there. We don't do this now

We need a goal, Just do not know what as happened to the Mariners, we are poor, the team need to understand there is a real possibility we may now miss out on the playoffs.

Mansfield now winning. All the other teams at the top end of the table are turning it on when it matters. We're just looking hopeless.

I'd say we're looking very unlikely to make the play offs. We're at home to one of the worst teams in the division and don't look remotely like winning. The teams we play after today will not be as shite as these!

And what a surprise...out come the negative posts. We'll support you evermore and all that...

Quoted from Chrisblor

Have to agree Chris, I am at the game and this is very poor, Barrow are a poor team too, We should be winning these games we are at home FFS with all to play for, do the players realise there is a chance of the playoffs at stake here ?

Bring Hannah on and go 3 up top

There just seems do be a lack of confidence.

IMHO, although he had showed nothing really, Pearson needs recalling now!

Quoted from aldi_01

And what a surprise...out come the negative posts. We'll support you evermore and all that...

Umm, while negative i'm pretty sure everything i've posted is true. I'll be going to Stockport on Monday and getting the intercourse behind the team, but they have not been performing for two to three months now (when it really matters) and that is indisputable. Both the players and managers share the blame for this.

Quoted from aldi_01

And what a surprise...out come the negative posts. We'll support you evermore and all that...

So we're not allowed to be negative when the team has played shite for months and can't beat this pile of poo we're playing? Right...

Find something to be positive about at the minute.

Its not a lack of confidence its a lack of tactics and wrong players playing all due to excrement managing skills

Never said I was but the negativity is predictable...

Fgr2-0 up now

Quoted from aldi_01

Never said I was but the negativity is predictable...

Because we're bottling our chances of promotion by struggling to beat a team battling relegation, while all our rivals at the top of the league are comfortably winning. I suppose we should just ignore all this because it's negative?!

To say they're bottling it is harsh but each to their own...

Quoted from aldi_01

Never said I was but the negativity is predictable...

To be fair Aldi because of the run of late and the way we are playing  you can understand why there is a bit of negativity, I am at the game and this is poor, it is not for the want of trying but we are creating nothing, there is a real possibility if we carry on like this we will miss out on the playoffs, we are at home and Barrows keeper as not been tested, so i can understand why there is some negativity on here, You want to hear the bloke next to me he's going mental hehe

God, Allah, Buddha, if any of you do exist, please give us a fully fit Disley and Niven on Monday

Quoted from aldi_01

Never said I was but the negativity is predictable...

So what if it's predictable? Doesn't make it wrong.

We haven't played well for months, many of us were saying that would bite us on the bottom but some people thought we could just grind out results for the rest of the season. We don't even look like scoring, let alone getting points. In the last four league games we have played Cambridge, Gateshead, Barrow and Nuneaton. We have managed one goal in that time and hardly even created chances. These teams are all well below average for our league and we're struggling against them. Imagine if we'd played some decent teams. Wrexham are a good team but we only managed two shots on target all game against them and as much as people want to try and make out we gave them a game, without our keeper we'd have been comfortably beaten.

Thank god our centre backs and keeper are good or God knows what our results would have been in the last two months.

Quoted from Chrisblor

6 goals in 8 games is bad for any team. Jesus Christ that shows how bad we've been. Sad thing is, except for the Mansfield game and Kiddy game, the opposition's keeper has barely even been involved.

Not wishing to sound negative, but, what has the shop done since he came on? When he challenges he concedes a free kick.  When the ball is played to him he miss controls it. In fairness he does close down!

If we don't make the playoffs I can see these 2 resigning

Wrexham now losing 2-0

In all honesty, I think the past 2 weeks have been a defining period in the season, it's sad to say.

We've sorely missed Niven and now sounds like we are badly missing disley rascal too. For me, the managers needed to get someone in last week, that could add a bit of bite and spark to the midfield.

FFS i nearly let out a little pee!

Cheers mate,

Macc drew, FGR won

Whats copulated our season is to much squad rotation not playing the right players at the right time.if they dont walk then they shud have be sacked in my opinion  

We must gamble and include Hearn in the squad on Monday. I know he's not fully fit yet, but he's the only player we have who seems to be capable of scoring goals.

Absolutely useless.

FT

Absolutely hopeless

Terrible no more excuses we are in relegation form

So thats another 2 points gained on us then, this is scary stuff.

a total disgrace.

Who says hes not fully fit if he can play 90 mins midweek then he cud of today

Booooooooooooooooooooooooo

The fact that we started with Southwell instead of Hannah was massive. The one on one that Taylor missed was huge.

Well we're on a terrible run of form, playing terribly, couldn't score in a brothel and don't look like scoring but there is no reason to be negative eh aldi?

Clean sheet, another point are the only positives from today.

Failing to score again and struggling to create chances are again the negatives.

Newport drew.

Disappointed as it feels our season is again fizzling away, hope not though and will continue to keep the faith (just).  Comeback Disley, Niven and Hearrn please.  Need to get back to playing on the ground instead of the long ball game.

UTM

Scott and Hurst have done this, totally inept tactically, dross loan signings, not one of them has shown anything.

Lewis is a disgrace of a footballer

LJL comes on and gets lots of the ball but in useless areas. Hannah comes on and hardly gets a touch. Southwell hardly plays at all then is given a full 90 minutes.
I hope Hearn cam come good, the forward line have lost their way and I don't see them recovering at all. Could be out of the top 5 come midweek.

another side that are down the bottom and we cant beat them, just another mark of how far we have fallen under Scott and Hurst.

The knives are out, and heading for S and H;s backs

S & H pick the team and are responsible for preparing the team, they must believe that the team they pick can go out and get the three points!

Just on way home now, will look forward to the managers response to that performance.

Quoted from Cumbrian Mariner

S & H pick the team and are responsible for preparing the team, they must believe that the team they pick can go out and get the three points!

Doesn't mean they're right.

Change a winning team at your peril. The side has been changed and swapped around that often since Xmas it's almost laughable. Talk about throwing it away. Now a full 15 points off the top, incredible in such a short space of time. I thought in blind optimism we would win the next 3 games including today's. I can't see us in the play offs now. The run in is too tough compared to Forest Green. Hope I'm proved wrong.

BARROW A TEAM THAT HAS CONCEDED 28 GOALS MORE THAN THEY HAVE SCORED AND WE CAN'T SCRAPE A 1-0 WIN ABS SHOCKING !!!!

FOREST GREEN WAITING IN THE WINGS TO TAKE OUR PLAY OFF PLACE !!

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TACTICS BEREFT OF IDEAS ETC..
ARGH WELL AT LEAST WE GET THE CHANCE TO WIN AT BRAINTREE ----NEXT SEASON. FRUSTRATED !! ??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??) ??)

What do you mean????? are you saying we would have won if Hannah had played?
By the sounds of things Southwell was the best of a bad bunch

Keep it simple for the rest of the season. Cook and Hannah to start up front every game, if available. Hearn on bench to replace the first one to tire out. Marshall/Devitt on the wings, Taylor to replace the first one to tire.
Disley/Niven if/when available, Naylor close behind. An honest assessment of LJL, Wilson and if they bring enough to the table.
A possible replacement for Thomas who looks a shadow of himself. And endless arguments over Hatton/Wood and who has the least rubbish game.

Centre backs and keeper are ok though!

On  the positive we are unbeaten in two... :o

Quoted from TAGG

What do you mean????? are you saying we would have won if Hannah had played?

Who knows. I just think that Hannah has proved to one and all that he can score goals. Now he is not even being given a chance in the starting 11. Am not saying that is the only problem. Far from it in fact.

Southwell did well from the sound of it, asking 90 mins of him is mad though.

Quoted from TAGG

What do you mean????? are you saying we would have won if Hannah had played?

Don't think it matters who the striker is, the service to them is abysmal. A front three of Suarez, Messi and Ronaldo would struggle to score goals in our team.

Quoted from mariner91

Don't think it matters who the striker is, the service to them is abysmal. A front three of Suarez, Messi and Ronaldo would struggle to score goals in our team.

Nah, those three players can make goals themselves. Messi would probably manage about 100 goals a season in this league!

Quoted from TAGG

By the sounds of things Southwell was the best of a bad bunch

See a previous post of mine. Southwell had a decent game. The one decent cross that came over was from the shop, header went wide.
There are idiots on here that don't see the whole picture. THERE IS NO CREATIVITY. The wingers are getting marked out of the game and they don't seem to have the ability now to take a player on. This all results in long ball from the back.

Shocking performance, shocking tactics and selection! Rapidly losing interest and money. That it from for fear of  saying the wrong thing.

Thanoj faded, southwell was our best player, naylor and wilson wanted to spend ages on the ball and got caught unawares, neither of them suits this level, Taylor is a serge makofo

Feels like we're on a hiding to nothing.

We need to hang on in the play offs but even then I think it'll just be for the experience. Not good enough to go up. Managers are being found out well and truly.

Devastated. Can't even be arsed to 'disect' it. Barrow were truly appalling and we didn't even trouble them.

What a pathetic performance and result.
