22/1/19 Lincolnshire away day double header extravaganza all in one match thread.

[GTFCfish]

Ok I though it’d be safe to have a 2 game all in one match thread as I checked and Carlisle are not playing so we don’t have to worry about their fans crying that they’re too big to not have their own individual thread.

FGR v Grimsby
Yeovil v Lincoln

After McKeowns red card we’ll be calling upon the services of 57 year old Sam Russell between the sticks who I’d expect will get a good reception from the FGR fans.
He always played blinders whenever he played against us and I think for us to get anything here he’s gonna have to play like that again, FGR being really impressive when they spanked us 4-1 opening day.

Can’t really comment on Yeovil v Lincoln as I don’t really know anything about their teams so I’ll leave their fans to comment on that.

My predictions are for us to lose by the odd goal and Yeovil v Lincoln to be a score draw.

 

[Chris FGR]

Super, super Sam, super, super Sam, super, super Sam, super Sammy Russell. I'm sure he'll get a great reception. Top lad.

Hopefully we'll be head and shoulders better then the Fish yet again, but tbf they do play some good stuff under Jolley so it should be a decent game. Hopefully Danny Collins forgets which way he's shooting again.

 

[Son of Cod]

I started a bit of chat in the general thread, but I'll move it here...

FGR v Grimsby tomorrow then. Spanked them in this one last year, but I'll gladly take a return to our regular smash and grab 0-1 instead. To be honest, I'd snap your hand off at a point. Can't see us getting anything from this but you never know.

 

[GTFCfish]

Super, super Sam, super, super Sam, super, super Sam, super Sammy Russell. I'm sure he'll get a great reception. Top lad.

To be honest we owe you one after your smash and grab lucky 4-1 win at Blundell Park.
If we can just keep Danny Mayor quiet we might have a chance.

 

[Chris FGR]

Good thing is JJ Hooper won't play this time, lad destroyed us last season, top player.

 

[The_Boss]

FGR and Lincoln double please. Lincoln's win ideally by c.20 goal margin if possible.

 

[Luke Imp]

Shackell's back for us and the Echo are reporting Bostwick might get a breather along with O'Connor so potentially a couple of changes for us.

Still without Andrade who won't be available until after the Bury game.

A win tonight takes a bit of pressure off Saturday.

Yeovil and Grimsby please

Hopefully we'll take confidence from two wins and two clean sheets on the bounce although i'm sure Lincoln will be tougher opponents than Mansfield and Notts County. If we only played teams from Nottinghamshire we'd be fine.

Probably an unchanged side from Saturday as Alex Pattison isn't quite ready after injury and we haven't sold Tom James yet. A big test for young Josh Grant at CB but he's settled in well so far. We don't concede many but don't score many either, 0-1 to an unlucky scrambled 96th minute winner.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet, other than during regularly scheduled league fixtures and the occasional cup game.

 

[FishyMackem]

Super, super Sam, super, super Sam, super, super Sam, super Sammy Russell. I'm sure he'll get a great reception. Top lad.

We appear to be a lot better defensively now so hopefully if you guys do win, it won't be as much of a calamitous display from our defense.

 

[Vanni]

I don't think either Grimsby or Yeovil are going down this year but still one never really knows until round about mid April time so it would be handy if both of them don't win tonight.

 

[AdamStag]

Forest green should be beating the likes of Grimsby

We’ve got to have an off day at some stage, you just happened to be it. You made up for it by beating county though.

If you feel that you’d like to further impress me feel free to get something from the game tonight.

 

[Son of Cod]

19 year Joe Grayson on loan from Blackburn starts for us for his pro debut.

 

[MrGloverLover]

A couple of changes for us, Arquin in for Browne and Mugabi in for Gafaiti after his horrible facial injury at the weekend. Both changes give us more physical presence which we'll undoubtedly need. Still playong 4141 by the looks of it.

 

[GodsGift]

Two changes for us as well, Shackell back from suspension and Rowe in for McCartan. Frecklington the other one to drop down to the bench.

Guessing Shackell and Bolger will be the centre backs and Bostwick will push forward into midfield.

 

[Son of Cod]

1-0 FGR. Have a free header Doidge, you seemed to enjoy the one we gave you in August so have another one mate. Welcome back to L2.

Come on SOC, you were supposed to get something at Lincoln and now you’re losing here, bloody useless!

 

[MrGloverLover]

Balls

Haha apologies, we are having January off this year.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Might well be the worst goal we've conceded all season and that includes the dogshit backpasses. We're playing 3 centre halves and he STILL got a free header. Ah well at least we beat the veg when it mattered.

 

[Son of Cod]

2-0 sounded like it should never have been a freekick that lead to it.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Can't speak for the foul but that's more pathetic defending. Safe to say we didn't turn up that half..

 

[GodsGift]

Danny Rowe you sexy bastard.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Going to form. Looks like Yeovils defence is non existent.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Balls x2

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Town fans demanding 352 be sacked off already. Same fans that never let Hurst try out a new formation for more than one game as well as the ones who wanted Jolley to sack off 433, despite us looking shite whenever we tried 442 and always ended up switching back 20 minutes into games. Clueless.

 

[GTFCfish]

Ours ain’t far behind, this could get very embarrassing second half.

 

[AdamStag]

Doidge going back to FG could be an interesting one.

Mansfield will need to keep an eye out on him next Tuesday
