Anyone heard any team news yet?

According to Tondeur no Devitt, Disley, Southwell or Wilson.

Quoted from Tom13

So who is playing then ? :)

Without causing debate on whether or not he should be in the squad, does anybody now believe something really has gone on behind the scenes with Devitt?

Mckeown

Hatton Pearson Miller Thomas

Colbeck Naylor Artus Marshall

Hannah Cook

bench

Taylor, Wood, LJL, Hearn, Thanoj

Quoted from grimsby pete

So who is playing then ? :)

No idea as of yet, presumably:

McKeown

Hatton/Wood  Pearson  Miller  Wood/Thomas

          Taylor    Artus        Naylor       Colbeck

                       Cook       Hannah


With Niven, Hearn, Marshall, LJL and whoever's left out of Hatton/Wood/Thomas

*edit: 2 changes:Colbeck and Marshall for Disley and Taylor

^^^ I'd probably go with pontoonlew's line up except Taylor for Marshall

No, that IS the line up  ;D

Possibly though he has been pretty garbage and looks like a malnourished child.

Somebody mentioned that he had been a bad time keeper and maybe other off field problems,

No idea if true.

Quoted from mariner91

I agree he's not been as good as we know him to be, but he's still had flashes of excellence which you'd rather have in your team than out of it imo.

Quoted from pontoonlew

I agree he's not been as good as we know him to be, but he's still had flashes of excellence which you'd rather have in your team than out of it imo.

Depends, I think he really struggles in the defensive side of the game in this league, shirks a lot of challenges and with that in mind I wouldn't have him in the team when on bad form as he's more likely to cost you a goal than get you one. Just as an example, some people were apoplectic when he wasn't brought on at Wembley but for me, we'd have probably lost if he had been cause he wouldn't have pressured them enough and given them time to do damage. Just my opinion.

I thought his missus was due to give birth? Or was that supposed to be nearer the time of the play-offs?

Come on Town!

Southport supposed to be playing 5-4-1; talk about parking the tank!

forrest green losing

Come on Town lets keep the momentum going and get something from today.  

FGR losing 1-0!

UTM

Poor Luton lol I wonder if the title is still in their reach

C,mon Town.

Shite.

1-0 Southport :/

FFS

Oops we don't seem to have a great record against these

not a good start for town, cant begrudge southport their lead right now.

Anyone who has ever lived with a pregnant partner will know that life is rarely normal in the last four or so weeks, false alarms, not sleeping, worries about the baby and delivery positions, pre natal classes - it's no fun being a future dad !

And this new thing on the blocks - Braxton Hicks - sounds like a porn star !

We are so bad that I thought I'd post on here because we are not at the races. There's only one side that's playing.

C,mon town pick it up a bit.

I honestly can't remember the last time Town started a game well.

That good first half at Mansfield apart (a game we went onto lose anyway), when did we last start brightly and boss the first half?

My theory as to why we never start well is that we keep changing the starting line-up and that can't help team cohesion.

Kiddie beating Gimps 1-0

Mansfield 1-0 up at Barrow

I'd agree with that what incentive is there for a player to work his balls off only not to feature the next.  Oh well in the managers we trust.

Get in Cooky!

Yesssssss

Get inn COOOOOOOOKKKIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Better!!! :)

Coooooooooooooook :D

whoa cookie cookie, andy andy andy andy andy cook

Cook the Monster

YES c'mon cookster!
Think mp is a bit behind though?

phew

Cos their job title is Professional Footballer . If they don't give 100% they can fook off

Thank god

we p1ss on your fish 1-1 more like it, now kick on from there town please.

Yay get in there Cookie Monster  ;D 1-1

Get In! Cooky is slowly putting himself into our history books

Yay Preston 1 up vs scunts

Quoted from prestonmariner

Get In! Cooky is slowly putting himself into our history books

History books I wouldn't go that far.  However he seems to have come on leaps and bounds.

Need to get a bit of composure and put our foot on the ball, get it wide and make WHALLEY back track and defend in his own half!

UTM

forest green 2 down

FGR 2-0 down

Tammy 2 FGR 0

I would like to see Whalley here next year good player.

Sh*t refs

We always get sh*t refs

UTM

FFS - need to be given a hoof up the backsides

intercourse sake

jesus christ Town come on

2-1 Southport sloppy at the back by the sounds of things :(

Their all excrement refs I'd like to see some of these refs in the prem, prem managers would rip them a new bottom hole

a disgrace

Hatton is garbage he always has been and always will be

Our full backs sound shocking today, again.

same old same old

Marshall. Hannah. Colbeck no contribution whatsover

Town need to reduce admission when Disley doesn't play. Last time it was Kissock mentioned every 2 minutes, today it's Whalley. Where's our midfield?

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

Hatton is garbage he always has been and always will be

on what basis are you blaming hatton for the goal, did he prevent the cross no, did he not pressure the ball no, oh yes he got beat in the air by a player who probably had a run on im and a very good cross, behave yourself, your not at the match and neither am i , so why blame hatton?

Good job FGR are losing, lets hope we come out all guns blazing second half, we have sounded second best throughout the first.

Ive seen enough, and he isnt good enough at this level, not on his own, but he is the worst imo of a very poor bunch of players

i started a thread last night asking if anyone else was concerned we still might not make the playoffs, well its no looking so ridiculous a thread at half time is it? thank god forest green are losing as well, as town just not with it today.
hope they change the formation in the second half and have a go at them as they are dominating possession, and territory and quite simply outplaying us right now.   c'mon need to change something and have a go at least. we can still get something, just need to up theskill level and get settled on the ball more.  not unachievable just hard work thats all.

[quote=41 he wouldn't have pressured them enough and given them time to do damage. .[/quote]

Were you there or have you forgotten already? The players who were already on the pitch didn't pressure them (at all) and sat back too deep on our 18 yard box which allowed them to do the damage which led to the penalty

Lets get Hearn on if were just going to hit it long

Dont count Heraford out yet

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

Ive seen enough, and he isnt good enough at this level, not on his own, but he is the worst imo of a very poor bunch of players

will respect your opinion of course, i dont think he is that bad, but give me westwood from wrexham in that position for sure.

Hatton, 1 defender having to mark 2 forwards, one of which is giving Pearson a tough time. McKeown seemed to dive over the ball for the first. It's like watching a team with nothing to play for and all contracts signed v a team needing the win. The officiating is appalling too, not that that's our problem. They close us down we constantly sit back and let them have all the time they want

I'm starting to get fed up with the managers tactics, they are really showing how incompetent they can be if you look at the teams above us they haven't done any unforced squad rotating (I checked on the BBC website) except we're injuries or suspensions occur.  I'm sick of this 'oh lets wait till half time for our hair dryer treatment'  it's getting boring.  I hope they don't bring Hearn on and expect him to dig them out of the excrement.

Can you see us win the playoffs not on your nelly.

They should of got a midfielder when they had chance, not sure why they got Wilson.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Good job FGR are losing, lets hope we come out all guns blazing second half, we have sounded second best throughout the first.

Sad really that we are now worrying about FGR and fifth place when so recently we were wondering who might challenge us for the championship

poor

Hannah nothing again

Liam.

unlucky

Penalty?

Sounds like we should've had a pen there, shite refs in this league are so frustrating!

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

Penalty?

Yes no ?

Lets face it Town will keep us waiting till last match of the season to make sure

We don't do easy - keep the faith!

UTM

C,mon town lets get a goal.

Luton trailing 4-1

Cmon lets get one from a corner

Quoted from Trawler

Luton trailing 4-1

I suppose we could be on a worse position, I'm just frustrated we change after change etc, oh well time for another beer me thinks buurrrp!!

do we practice crossing?

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

Who are fifth...

well i just watched the national and was hoping things might have changed but sadly not, hearn on but dont expect miracles, 15 mins to go a point would be usefull but we are lucky with other results going our way, crikey this isnt good enough is it.  havent got the answer either.

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

do we practice crossing?

That's one thing I was good at during my footy days

Hatton what a lack of quality

Ooh Pondy sent off lol

Nathan Pond sent off

The Cart Horse coming on

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

The Cart Horse coming on

What a stupid time to bring a striker on fooking clueless these two sometimes.

Get that anus out this club

This sounds garbage. Back to earth with a bump

No realistic chance to win playoffs with performances like this . Another summer of squad strengthening I reckon

get in

Get in FFS

ha ha

woop

Get in

Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss Taylor

flipping COME ON TOWN!!!!!

First late goal in god knows how long!

Artus not good ebough

defend this, take the point! thats 1 more than forest green have!

Whaaaaaaaat!!

Well done Taylor

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

The Cart Horse coming on

Thats the entire squad you've slagged off this afternoon. Why don't you just clear off and support another team if you can't think of a single positive thing to say?

All from a disgraceful corner kick

Get the intercourse in! I'd already thrown the remote at the wall and dented it thinking we'd lost. Polyfilla required before the Mrs. gets home then...

Phew!!!

Quoted from killingholmemariner

Quoted from buckstown

I think you will find its Hatton/Marshall/Colbeck and The Shop who draw the most critique from me........you dont get 90 minutes out of any of them added together.

Not good enough

Jesus, these corner routines are disgraceful. They attack AGAIN from our lousy corner kick.

Please Town, send Wilson back and bring in someone who can bolster this midfield just a little bit. We are screwed without Disley/Niven.

Limping into the playoffs, worrying...

Quoted from Citymariner

;D  insult of the day.   hats off to that man!

crikey a lucky draw, i will take that.    was unsure about cleveland taylor when he signed as i had seen him play a few times in the flesh  before, but in 3 games he has one goal and one assist, not too shabby a start to his mariners career is it?   and justifiably keeping devitt out as well i think.

That sounded awful from Town but at least we kept going and snatched an undeserved point. Five unbeaten since Wembley

2 points from 12 at home................is that really acceptable, 3 of those against teams below us?

Quoted from Meza

Haha blame the kids ;)

So now I have to create some make-believe kids... Don't know whether I'll keep my cool under the scrutiny...


Acquired the most points today out of the playoff teams (excluding the title racers). I'd have taken a point.

bit of revenge for their late goal on the first day of the season

Well barring a complete U-turn in Forest Green's form and us getting no more points, we're in the play offs at least.

It would appear that Bruce Springsteens popularity is on the (Bruce) wane
Our friends have a dog called Bruce and thats a crutch sniffing rabid moron. Its all beginning to fall into place

Quoted from mariner91

Well barring a complete U-turn in Forest Green's form and us getting no more points, we're in the play offs at least.

FGR are really inconsistent, I don't think they ever had it in them to trouble us. The top 5's been sorted for months now, but we've had a wobble and are still coming out of it, and Wrexham seem to have the jitters big time. A full strength Town team would see us catch them and Newport imo.

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

2 points from 12 at home................is that really acceptable, 3 of those against teams below us?

No it isn't

Lincoln back in trouble

Did many leave the ground before the goal??(as they do pretty much every game which really gets on my nerves)

big difference between a Full Strength side, and players performing on a consistent basis, which hasnt been happening.  No one not even the managers know what the best side is at the moment.....hopefully the big plus is the more minutes for Hearn, he and Cook could turn it round.  

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Lincoln back in trouble

Took my mind off that last 5 minutes of commentary by looking on their forum to read "Will that disallowed Goal against Grimsby on New Year's Day cause us to be relegated"

Yes, that goal is why you're 6th from bottom and -9 GD(icon_rolleyes)

Think they mean they were robbed of two extra points which could potentially make a big difference.

Was this the pondy world class full stretch save?

Quoted from mariner91

I think any team could point to a certain incident and say that though.  And with refs like Joyce at BP today, it's nothing more than a lottery sometimes as to what you'll come away with.

Quoted from Bruce Springsteen

2 points from 12 at home................is that really acceptable, 3 of those against teams below us?

But what should we do about it? Sack the managers, sack every single player? Stop looking at the last few games, 73 points in 42 games is completely acceptable by my standards.

Quoted from jaygy

Was this the pondy world class full stretch save?

Think so, but still only went some way to avenging the draw at BP back in the league when two blatant handballs by Lincoln were waved on by the ref. Swings and roundabouts really.

But what should we do about it? Sack the managers, sack every single player? Stop looking at the last few games, 73 points in 42 games is completely acceptable by my standards.

anything that means Tondeur doesnt use the words poor ball, more than 50 times in a commentary would be an improvement.

Feel exactly the same, lets take the positives from today's result:

The unbeaten run continues
Momentum carries us forward to the play offs
We didn't lose, we kept on fighting to the end and that 7 points out of 9 this week.

Disappointed with the result - yes, but my glass is half full.

Keep the faith - UTM

Quoted from Cumbrian Mariner

Feel exactly the same, lets take the positives from today's result:

No we can't do that we're all supposed to be miserable that we're only 8 points clear of 6th place with 4 games to go. We're doomed, doomed I tell you  ;)
