Its not been that bad, conditions not helping, few chances but its not a dreadful watch. Barrington and Ainley slow at making decisions have cost us some better chances.
Pretty poor game, Newport had two great chances to win and fluffed them both. Penalty which was gifted by the ref, good save from Wright, then their player kicked fresh air with an open goal from 3 yards.
Thompson made an immediate difference when he came on, need him starting soon.
oh I agree we are average, but we seem to be great at defending leads, but when behind we just concede for fun. I don't think you will find many Grimsby fans who won't be shocked if we finish close to the top 7 nevermind in them.
It was 6 mins from the 90th, unless you mean you don't know where he got 6 from?
That's the one thing with these away games, despite coming under lots of pressure from each of the teams and having one goal leads, I don't think any of the sides have actually created anything clear cut to score...
Still maintain it's the teams rather than the home/away. 3 of our 4 home losses are above us therefore current top 6 teams. The 4th loss was Barrow who were above us before today.
Really should have had another 1 or 2, and certainly been 2-0 up before we conceded too poor goals again.
If we could actually defend crosses and didn't gift teams two goals a game we'd probably be top!
Gillingham, Salford, Tranmere and Carlisle are the places we've won away.
I'd argue only Gillingham are better than mid table and they have lost 5 in a row since we beat them.
Our wins and losses are based on where a club is in the table after 13 games and there is a clear correlation based on...
Or more accurately, of the 6 games we've played against the current top 10 we have only won one( and that was at home!) and of the other 8 games against the lower down teams we've only lost one ( and that was away!).
But hey let's just look at stats and make an uninformed opinion!
The more...
We had no midfield tonight, but despite all Tranmere's pressure they didn't trouble the goal much, apart from one cleared of the line in the first half, mostly just pot shots when they could.
Should have had a pen at the end but their player made a meal of what was a simple standing on his foot...
We just defend a lead better now than we did last season. More possession in the first half, second half we hardly touched the ball but still restricted Salford to not much, though did get lucky with the post!
We still try to play out from the back, though I don't think our loan keeper has had...
