New Years Games

[jacobncfc]

Halifax are sitting a bit deep here for me, Grimsby are awful in the final third but they’re getting enough pressure and crosses that they’ll probably get a lucky ricochet soon.

 

[Wooderson]

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.

I remember the day Grimsby won at Woking. We all said it was there’s to lose, 100%. Automatic has gone now, no way they’ll make 11 points up on Chesterfield. Be lucky to make the playoffs now. Sad times.

 

[chrisblor]

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?

We're a 1 man team. Been absolutely useless since McAtee's been out with injuries and suspensions. There's nobody in the squad other than him who can produce a consistent end product. Bell's shown a few flashes since signing but Hurst hasn't been playing him much.

 

[spireite]

Booooom the fish, bullet header!

Alright, not that much of a bullet, but it's a decent header nevertheless and it's the least they deserve

 

[We Are Sailing]

Get in grimsby. Deserved that.

 

[jacobncfc]

Fully deserved tbf, great header. Halifax have been awful since taking the lead.

 

[Ooh Aah Paskin]

Having watched the highlights on the game yesterday it certainly does look like there wasn't an offside for the equaliser, though I'd rather Lennon let it go in than try and stop it with a hand...at least we would still have had eleven men.
The third goal was unclear but it was given so we have to accept it and move on.
I think the deciding point of the game was Mullins penalty miss...score and it was on a knife edge.

 

[Master D]

Grimsby taking about 10 minutes to celebrate, only Pearson wanting to get on with it and get a winner.

That fucking free kick delivery there. Christ.

 

[Luke Imp]

Deserved goal for Grimsby, Halifax kept giving the ball back to them most of the half - Waters seemed to consistently be over the other side of the pitch to where it was being cleared to.

 

[pontoonlew]

Great end to the game that but I still feel absolutely robbed. Ref was absolutely fucking diabolical and I’m sick of saying it. Something to build on with McAtee coming back

 

[Gladders]

Finally a winger that knows how to cross a ball puts it to someone who knows how to finish.

Deserved more, I think apart from the first 20-25 mins we were the better side just don't know how to score. A mistake nearly cost us another loss, but we desperately need to sign a goal scorer and more creative players this Jan.

 

[TheShayWay]

You know what. That's us unbeaten in away games at Chesterfield and Grimsby. Conceded late in both games but I'm not hugely disappointed if I think logically about it

 

[chrisblor]

Grimsby taking about 10 minutes to celebrate, only Pearson wanting to get on with it and get a winner.

That fucking free kick delivery there. Christ.

Really annoyed me this - 3 minutes of stoppage time left and we're fannying about celebrating an equaliser in a game we've dominated. Should have been a picking the ball out of the net and running back to the centre circle with it job.

That aside, good performance and result for a midtable side against apparent title contenders

 

[Ooh Aah Paskin]

This league is mad this season so far.
We are currently third but if teams win their games in hand we could be down to ninth...

 

[Southern Shayman]

Good point considering we got battered for 45 minutes. Can’t keep creating 1 good chance a game and expect to get away with it.

 

[pontoonlew]

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.

Well I mean the correlation between McAtee not playing and us not winning/scoring is absolutely incredible and far too much of a coincidence

 

[Gladders]

You know what. That's us unbeaten in away games at Chesterfield and Grimsby. Conceded late in both games but I'm not hugely disappointed if I think logically about it

You should be, we have been rubbish recently and gifted you a goal today and you sat back and gave us the ball for the rest of the game until you inevitably conceded. Not the sign of a team that will win the league.

 

[GTFCfish]

Still unbeaten this year.

 

[Stoney Ground]

Grimsby taking about 10 minutes to celebrate, only Pearson wanting to get on with it and get a winner.

All putting themselves in the shop window, for a move to Aldershot or Woking

 

[Gladders]

Very true, but imagine the reaction if we did that and Halifax went up the other end and scored. A team that has lost 6 of the last 7, devoid of any confidence and finishing ability and scores that late should treat that as the winner!

 

[pontoonlew]

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

Fox is a cracking player but he’s just not a finisher, McAtee being out has forced us to play him further forward which is not his bag at all.

He’d walk into most midfields in this league

 

[TheShayWay]

You should be, we have been rubbish recently and gifted you a goal today and you sat back and gave us the ball for the rest of the game until you inevitably conceded. Not the sign of a team that will win the league.

Wild is a master of that. Score a goal and try and defend it for as long as is left. We generally defend our box well and that's I guess why we didnt lose.

You expect a home team to dominate a game generally. A lot of home games left and I think we'll win a fair amount of them. We are still well placed

 

[AJS]

Wild is clearly a good manager but he’s got to learn to stop parking the bus and making negative subs on narrow leads. Twice in a week it has come back to bite us. Not a bad point by any means but ridiculously frustrating.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Halifax how’s your bottle

Well in the Fishies!

 

[Gladders]

Well I mean the correlation between McAtee not playing and us not winning/scoring is absolutely incredible and far too much of a coincidence

Didn't say it wasn't. But also the timing of players on a night out and one getting done for drink driving is also far much of a coincidence!

 

[TheShayWay]

Halifax how’s your bottle

Well in the Fishies!

Fine thanks. Played 2 decent sides away from home and didnt lose either of them. We weren't all playing Kings Lynn at the weekend unfortunately.

 

[GTFCfish]

Pretty sure I saw Pete Wild do a double somersault quadruple fist pump in front of the Main Stand at full time too.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Good second half and fully deserved point for Grimsby. Halifax? Meh.

Why are defenders allowed to rugby tackle forwards in the box?

 

[Stocky]

Question marks over Peter "Pete" Wild's cojones there.

BT Sport wanking over him all game, they barely touched the ball after they scored.

 

[Carsonsuckscock]

Fine thanks. Played 2 decent sides away from home and didnt lose either of them. We weren't all playing Kings Lynn at the weekend unfortunately.

We never get tired of playing teams below us.
