    14th September matches

    First league start of the season for Max Wright today, he took the piss out of Macclesfield mid week and almost scored an absolute worldie so he more than deserves his chance.

    We've signed Ethan Robson on loan from Sunderland. Central midfield, freekick specialist. Ticks a few boxes in terms of what we need. Very good reviews from Sunderland fans who think only injuries have held back his involvement in the first team. Just need a left winger and I think we're set...

    Caribou Cup match thread

    Yeah very slightly before my time, started going a couple of years later so this would be a new fixture for me and an exciting one. My Dad took me to very few Town games because he wasn't a big fan himself and I remember very well rejecting a Chelsea strip as a kid to his dismay :lol: so the...

    Caribou Cup match thread

    Incredible draw for me as my Dad and brother are lifelong Chelsea fans. Think the rearranged fixture could be packed now and we don't typically do well in front of a big home crowd, not to mention Macc's recent form against us, but now would be the perfect time to put it to bed.

    Grimsby v Vale

    3 goals 3 assists for Hanson so far and we sit at the top of the GF table. Incredible contrast from last year when it took us until late October to manage 10 goals. This game obviously pads those stats a bit but we often struggle with poor starts. Hopefully we can kick on knowing early on that...

    Grimsby v Vale

    Sounds like we showed our potential. It's great that hoof ball is an option now but we've seen how predictable it can be, so we need to blend it with the good football we tried to produce last season and it seems like we did that today. Five different scorers is great to see. Good start to the...

    Tuesday night games

    A classic fairytale of two halves. First we were diabolical and made Colchester look like world beaters. They had us beat all over the park and looked like scoring everytime they went forward. We couldn't handle Nouble at all. Second we got a hold of the ball much, much more and tried to make...

    The Villagers v The Town

    Unfortunate as it sounds like we were relatively solid at the back for most of the game. We still need a creative spark or two going forward and it showed today. At least we weren't absolutely battered, the gap is closing one way or another.

    The Villagers v The Town

    Oh I definitely agree it's doable, plenty of sides go up playing a great game. I think hoofball is probably an easier to master style while outputting the same results though. To be honest I've seen us play a pretty game and get absolutely nowhere so I'm perfectly fine with us going this way. If...

    The Villagers v The Town

    Think 3 games in is a little early to call us a hoofballing side. Not that I'm disputing it but I see it as Jolley adapting to the league, a successful hoofballing side can dominate. He's capable of putting together a slick pass and move team as we sometimes demonstrated last season but finding...

    Good signing for us and it pretty much completes our defence. We're going to be very dominant from set pieces this season. Very happy with Jolley's recruitment not only this window but overall since he arrived.

    1st Full House of the season; Mariners v Bantams

    Enjoyed the game today, we probably deserved a win over 90 minutes but there were some crucial saves by both keepers as well as some wayward finishing either way so we can't be disappointed with a draw. It's far too early to say where either team will be, you can tell Bradford have some quality...

    Cockles v Haddocks

    #GTFC starting XI - McKeown (C), Hewitt, Öhman, Davis, Hendrie, Hessenthaler, Clifton, Whitehouse, Green, Hanson, Rose. Subs - Russell, Pollock, Ring, Cook, Wright, Ogbu, Vernam. That's an exciting looking squad we've managed to put together so far. It's not perfect, still need a few signings...

    Your First Game

    Nobody in my family were actually Town fans so I didn't get to my first game until I was about 8 or 9. The earliest game I remember was 29/12/01, we beat Portsmouth 3-1, Phil Jevons scored 2, Simon Ford 1 and Peter Crouch got theirs. I'm pretty sure that was my first game as I remember it so...

    Potential Takeover of GY Town FC

    Seems like just the bloke we need to properly bridge the gap between club and community. We've been generations behind everybody else for too long, a fresh start with some modern, forward thinking will do this club wonders. If this comes off I suspect we'll see a more than decent increase in...

    Zak Mills is decent at this level, when we had Danny Andrew absolutely bombing it down the left side a few years back, Mills on the opposite side looked like a cheaper, diet version of him. There are better full backs in the league but also much, much worse. Cook is a great signing for any side...

    James Hanson to us confirmed, 2 year deal. Another decent, if not spectacular signing. A lot of concerns regarding his fitness levels but if he can stay fit he could be just what we need, somebody to play off of up top. We seriously missed a player like him last season.

    Recruitment and Starting Line-up’s

    As SoC pointed out, Jolley seems to seriously favour 352 but we are nowhere near having the players required for it. It's obviously early days but as it stands I think we already have an okay side for some variant of 433: GK: James McKeown LB: Sebastian Ring CB: Ludvig Ohman CB: Harry Davis RB...
