New Years Games

[OneDecentLester]

23 points from 10 games since we set ourselves on fire at Halifax, and played Wrexham, Stockport, Boreham Wood, Solihull, Dagenham, Bromley, Grimsby, Yeovil and Eastleigh in that time, Southend the only one in the bottom half. Ridiculous run of form. Crazy run of fixtures as well - we’ve played 10 of the current top 12 in our last 11 games, and it would be all of them if Chesterfield wasn’t called off!

Solid run that, think we’ve took 24 pts from the last 10 but obviously we’ve been playing Dover and Weymouth every week so doesn’t count!

You won’t have seen it from your end but Fox just missed a sitter. Free Header maybe 5 yards out and he just completely misses the ball

Luckily I’m in Spain so I have one of the best seats in the house. We are stinking in front of goal anyway, think you’ll sneak it late on.

You just described all non league wingers, that's why they are non league and not league players.

thats why I called him a 'Bog standard non league winger'

Efete is the same but he's a full back so can be forgiven sometimes.

Fox looks half a yard of the pace in both halves. Maguire-drew looks our best hope but not seeing much of the ball.

Which is why I think Myles Weston is one of the better ones at this level. 34 but can still run and has a peach of an inswinger from the the right with his left foot. Mind you, that’s probably why he played a bit higher in his prime.

Where’s McAtee? Injured again?

Chicksen clearly played onside by the guy in the middle and possibly the one near side as well who is out of shot, and a blatant handball, so we can put that one to bed. The third goal we’re not going to get a conclusive answer to I don’t think, obviously really close.

Going to hold my hands up and admit I was wrong there then, the linesman got it right and Lennon has cocked up massively there by playing him on and then taking the red card afterwards. A meteor could've hit the ground and wiped us all out, and Lennon's error would still be the most catastrophic thing to have happened in that moment.

 

[Gladders]

last of his suspension

 

[chief]

Don't know where this offside stuff has come from, he's clearly on.

Pretty much everyone in our end thought it was off at the time, it was a pretty dire error by Lennon to not keep up with the line.

 

[jacobncfc]

Ooft that is horrible goalkeeping.

 

[We Are Sailing]

Oh dear goalkeeper...

 

[spireite]

Bloody hell Grimsby, pull your finger out

 

[B2TF]

YYYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!!!

 

[PaulHaddock]

Shite keeping, after what should’ve been a penalty.

 

[Wooderson]

Did similar against us, parried a cross straight into the path of Rodrigues for a 90th minute winner. Seems Grimsby need to add a new keeper to a no9 on their list if they are to trouble the playoffs again

 

[Luke Imp]

Good reaction from Grimsby.

different keeper

 

[EnglishRed]

What's up with Fox? has he won a competition to play today?

 

[spireite]

This Fox guy is really shit isn't he

 

[EnglishRed]

Fox's broken biscuits

 

[Wooderson]

different keeper

Oh, fair enough!

 

[Gladders]

What's up with Fox? has he won a competition to play today?

Like I said, seems a yard of the pace for eveything. Maybe one of the ones who sufffered with covid? not sure

 

[We Are Sailing]

Grimsby need a striker massively.... they should be winning, not losing....

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Grimsby desperately need a new keeper and a new striker.

did you see the tats BT Sport showed before the game?

First 12 games 9 wins, 27 scored, last 7 games 1 win, 4 scored.

All our chances today other than Maguire-Drew hitting the bar have fallen to the wrong people, need Taylor and Drew on the end of them more we might have scored one. No one else knows were the goal is. Even Pearson a centre half got closer with a strike outside the box than some of our attacking players!

To be fair ALL Grimsby fans said they needed to sign a no9, and Hurst just ignored them.

Got to be under massively pressure tonight.

 

[Gladders]

Grimsby desperately need a new keeper and a new striker.

Sign a striker who can score and keeper won't matter. When you can't score, one mistake at the back costs you the game. When you score goals you can afford that error. How many mistakes do we make on attack every game? Nobody remembers them though.

 

[jacobncfc]

Sure this happens to whoever’s top after ten games or so every single year.

That's an awful record. How can you go from being the form team to being unable to score a goal in such a short space of time?

 

[PaulHaddock]

Fox wants shooting.

If you believe Lew its because we lost the best player in the league

To be honest not sure, injuries didn't help, but think there must be more too it.
