Tuesday 26th Nov, two game thread.

[BlackHaddock]

FGR v Crewe
Grimsby v Cheltenham.

Three points each for the Southern sides?

 

[Buxton Vale]

they both look like draws to me

Really? You haven't seen us recently then!

Really? You haven't seen us recently then!

I reckon it's because they haven't kicked off yet, easy to keep it nil nil in those circumstances.

FGR v Crewe

We aren’t Southern.

 

[Indian Dan]

Shouldn’t this be in a Play Off Thread!

 

[Si Robin]

Based on form we have to be favourites for tomorrow night.

Get on a Grimsby win.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

Can't see any "southern" sides there TBH. West Country, la la la.

 

[GTFCfish]

Hopefully this will get called off as well, fuck football.

 

[BlackHaddock]

No new Messiah to lead us to the promised land yet, our three games in hand will ruin our goal difference and gain us no points at all unless a miracle of biblical proportions happens soon.

 

[BlackHaddock]

They are South of Grimsby, so they are "southern" to me.

 

[BlackHaddock]

Good news coming out of Blundell Park is that two 'first teamers' could return from injury this evening as both trained yesterday. One is a Swede, the other a speedy Carrot Top.

 

[GTFCfish]

The attendance tonight will be by far our lowest since getting back into the Football League in 2016

Guessing around 2650 with 32 Cheltenham fans.

 

[Si Robin]

We'll have at least a coach load - I'll say 64 Robins.

As for the game - 1-1

 

[Greenacres]

A lot of people will have bought tickets for the original fixture, which should have been on a Saturday, but probably won't bother turning out this evening...a fair chunk of our supporters are aged under 10 or over 65, groups who don't tend to show up for evening games.

I will predict a 2-2 draw with a crowd around 2000.

[shoddycollins]

Thrill a minute so far

 

[Gladders]

We're playing football!! Like the first half at Northampton we are passing the ball around, plenty of attacks, mainly coming from the left. Plenty of shots some even on target!

Still not scored though, Green probably best chance another free shot in 6 yard box straight at keeper. A few goal mouth scrambles but most shot on target straight at keeper.

Cheltenham good on the ball as well but hardly been in our box. Should really be leading this but will probably go on to lose now and rue the missed chances again. At least it's 0-0 and not two nil down.

 

[Si Robin]

Sounds very much like we've been riding our luck in that first half, including Flinders making a couple of great saves.

Hoping Grimsby regret not taking their chances.

 

[GTFCfish]

Missing all those chances means a banker 1-0 Cheltenham away win.

 

[Buxton Vale]

Really? You haven't seen us recently then!

you were saying? .....................

We should’ve won it as well, much better or at least in the first half anyway.

Miles out, it was 62.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Miles out, it was 62.

Check for a moped and pillion passenger broken down on the Cleethorpes bypass.

 

[shoddycollins]

Good job we had this thread to keep up with all the action from this advert for league Two

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Still, must have been plenty of long-put-off little DIY jobs finally finished up and and down the land.

 

[Gladders]

Second half was a bit flat both sides cancelling each other out, still at least we tried to play football and not goofball.

On the two first half performances this week we have looked pretty decent and created plenty of chances, shame we can't score any of them

 

[GTFCfish]

I’m feeling a lot more positive after last night because at least we’re trying to play football now and when we do we’re actually pretty good at it.
Even had we lost that I’d feel the same because I can take losing if we’re at least trying to play the right way and being entertaining which last night, for the first half anyway, we were.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Under 2500 home fans!

That's pathetic, right?

 

[Si Robin]

Miles out, it was 62.

Not bad on 5 days notice to be fair.
