There are fucking puddles on the pitch at Grimsby. Crazy weather for august.

 

[EricSabin]

Well worked goal from Crawley but far far too easy. Didn’t come from behind at all last year I don’t think so a good early test

 

[EricSabin]

Get in. Hoskins levels on his 300th Northampton appearance, takes him 20th on the all time scorers list. Sometimes maligned but a great servant.

Be surprised if it's not abandoned at some point

 

[AdamStag]

going well

 

[EricSabin]

What a free kick from Sam Hoskins

 

[pontoonlew]

Zero chance this game stays on unfortunately

 

[Gladders]

Game stopped to try and clear water but it's still absolutely tipping it down, seems pointless

 

[hellogregory]

Why did the ref wait this long to try to clear it? There were huge fucking puddles in minute 1.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Nice uppercut from the Stockport player on Tommy Rowe, for a very silly red card

 

[hellogregory]

If this continues we’re obviously going to use this as an excuse for the defeat.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Must be something about that area with games called off late.

Remember trekking to Lincoln twice to have it called off 30 minutes from kick off and Scunny a couple of times for it to be off last minute.

Suppose Grimsby at least started it

 

[hellogregory]

A-A


Still unbeaten

 

[Gladders]

Game off, not surprised ball not rolling at all down the wings, and still chucking it down

 

[E10rifle]

One way traffic against Swindon who have scored from their only chance. Smyth replied almost instantly, but our finishing has been poor since then.

It can’t be helped when the grounds level with the North Sea

 

[DearneValleyRover]

We’ve scored first, chuff me

 

[LS Bantam]

Poor start at Colchester, Hughes giving Oliver another chance meaning we try hoof it instead of keeping the ball and have a striker up top who hasn’t won a single ball since he signed.

 

[Koumas’Right-Boot]

If these tackles Hartlepool are making were made by us we’d be down to 9 men.

Two studs in challenges with zero intent of playing the ball.

Been all Swindon since I posted this ‍

 

[shoddycollins]

Not necessarily a bad thing given our injuries and the fact we're still hoping to add to the squad.

 

[FiRTHYY]

Pleasant weather conditions so far down in Essex - that may change in the second half.

Fairly even game so far. Colchester have hit the bar, but other than that, not much else.

Scott Banks is the best player on the pitch by a country mile, he’s had a few opportunities this half.

Jake Young is shooting upon sight. Sadly, all his attempt way-wayward.

 

[Carver]

What an embarrassment Grimsby are to league football, it is 2022 and their pitch drainage is of a 20th century standard.

Can you not just have stayed down in the non leagues where you belong! How fucking tinpot can you be??

 

[Dale4ever]

Imagine the shock, we’ve conceded another set piece. That’s one every single league game so far. Get gone Robbie, this is a shambles yet again.

 

[Koumas’Right-Boot]

Hartlepool have had the best chance of the half but aren’t very good at playing football.

Real contrast in styles as Hartlepool look to hoof it (against our back three, lol). While some tidy passing from Tranmere is generally being wasted by some poor decision making in the final third.

 

[Cas]

Awful half from us. Colchester look the more likely to go on and win. Too easy to get in against both our fullbacks. Hughes needs to change it.

 

[EricSabin]

Shaky first 5 but much improved since Crawleys goal and dominating Crawley. Crawley trying to play some nice stuff out from the back but our success has been picking off the loose pass. Seems from the telly we’ve picked a couple of Crawley defenders to close down every time it goes near them.

Fox, Leonard and McWilliams playing some really nice stuff in the middle and controlling the game.

Let’s hope it continues second half.

Ready for the bites.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Stockport definitely came for the win, we’re pressing well without creating much and we were our usual slow starting selves, then a pure moment of madness by Southam-hales. A throw in to us level with our 18 yard box, he was holding Rowes arm, Rowe holding his shirt and then he throws an uppercut rITT on Rowes chin in front of the assistant ref, utter madness. We didn’t try to rush things and scored a cracking goal through Miller. Tomlin has hit the post too.

 

[Indian Dan]

Yet another game where we should have been handed our arses on a plate. Reed - just fuck off.
