Official Match Thread Grimsby Town v Southend United

[Shrimp and two veg]

Mudbath up there today. Hope we go on to stuff Grimbo, theyre really living up to their name.
Akinola has been rubbish imo, we need to be on the end of balls into the box and that means coming off your man, running in and taking a chance.
I think we are missing Hart's creativity, get him back in midfield

Has anybody else had problems switching to the home commentary? I select home and it just switches back to away. Using android app.

Hoping taking Olayinka off is as a precaution for Tuesday against Cambridge, going to need him then.

 

[Holy Joe]

Poor first half from both teams. Looks like if someone can nick a goal they'll win it.

 

[Tommy2holes]

When we play the football triangles in the final third we start testing them. This is a game we should definitely win.

Grimsby are a poor side and a goal will mean they have to attack more which plays into our hands.

 

[GBJ]

Agreed, we should just BATTER all of them.

[Whispering Bob]

Quite enjoyed having no commentary, it confirmed how vocal our bench are (which I like). We will be disappointed not to be leading at the break - bossed the first twenty minutes especially - and they are quite pants. Thought we should have had a pen on 5 minutes when ANG was pulled then pushed to the ground? Two wide men are looking a threat, ANG ghosts past players with ease. It was a clumsy foul that put Olayinka out of the game, think the main damage was done when their fella landed heavily on his ankle (looks like ligaments to me and don't think he should have carried on). Their 10 should be ashamed of himself for that incident at the death, he deserved some kind of contact for walking in front of the free-kick.......I thought the Oscars were in March?!?

Much better football by us against cloggers. Weve been clattered 4 times and no sign of the yellow

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

This will be a scrappy 1-0 either way.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Surely MM will be going for the win against this mob?. “Town” looked a lot better under Holloway I must say, think we dodged a bullet not getting hurst as manager because Grimsby are poor.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

I think on a better pitch we would be leading this already. Need to get the ball to our forwards feet more.

 

[GBJ]

Eel learn one day.

I thought he was more sofishticated than that.

 

[superblue24]

Think I'd definitely take a point today.

 

[Maroon Blue]

Might be harsh, but do not think Olayinka has fancied playing for us the last month. He could not wait to get off. If he was genuinely injured then I am wrong, but also by that do not think he is robust enough for the top level. If his groins still bad, should not be picked to start. I hope not but think we have seen the best and last of him.

 

[Holy Joe]

Their centre backs look to be winning most of the headers, need that big lump up front!

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

God you lot are piranha roll with these fish puns.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

The only problem for me is that according to their commntary team there's only one tem playing and that's Town.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Was it their commentators who pointed out that RHF would be on the muddy side in the second-half?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

They haven't caused us any problems at all, apart from the obvious fouls and play acting. It does look like they are trying to put a few of our best players out of the game. Some very late tackles going in there. About time the ref gave some protection. We are clearly the better side, just need to make more chances.

We can all bream...
