Bank Holiday Monday Match Thread

[Shotsfan1993]

I wouldn't, Smith will typically set us up not to concede at home, we'll probably play the same back 4 as at FGR with two defensive midfielders in front. Given that Braintree don't score many and neither do we, this has 0-0 all over it so 21/10 on the draw would be where I'm looking, though I hate putting draws in an acca.

It wouldnt suprise me if Smith named the same team as Friday

I went there once in the 1988 (I was at Uni in Kent) and saw them play Altrincham in a FA Trophy replay (Barrow had the winners in the next round) - did that ground actually hold 4000?

That tie was decided on the 3rd replay, I remember the home games. You knocked us out in the next round IIRC

Massive game for both ourselves and Chester today. All three points desperately needed by both teams.
We have fought hard and played pretty well in our recent home games but showed neither fight or quality at Southport.
Concerned!

If he does then I'm glad I'm at work and won't have to suffer another Smith home borefest.

Sorry in advance for the soaking that the Grimsby supporters are going to get on our open terrace! There's been heavy rain/hail showers on and off for the last couple of days but brightened up a bit just recently. No chance of the game not going ahead now.

Have the steps been sorted? Always a nightmare on a wet day.

I'd say 1-0 Braintree. Yes they don't score many, but your defensive record doesn't look great. So Braintree to win to Nil @ 10/3 or 4.33.

Our team today is very makeshift due to injuries and illness.

O'Leary, Williams, Lowe, Tunnicliffe, Kinsella, Jones, Fane, McQuilkin, Ngwatala, Patrick, Langmead.

Think it's a 5-4-1 with Langmead up front.

yeah i made it back up for both matches against you in the quarter finals and then all 4 games of the semi-final against Enfield

I've just had to look up the Barrow result on the club archive. I have absolutely no memory of the 0-0 at Moss Lane, though I'm sure I would have been there. I didn't travel to Barrow. 4 matches in the semi-final? What happened there - replays after the 2 legs?

Edit to add - just looked it up. A 4 match semi final - imagine the uproar if those rules still applied?

 

[ShrewdBlue]

We are playing Tom Shaw again. Ridiculous. He is bloody awful and we deserve to get relegated if we persevere with Shaw.

Guiseley win unless Hannah and Alabi do it all on their own.

Unchanged.

 

[CrazyImp]

Yep, gone with Northampton, Dover and Braintree, tenner returns just over £115.

 

[CTFCfan99]

FGR lead already

 

[Southern Shayman]

We're playing a very very makeshift side. A back 3 made of a centre half left back and right back - and 2 central midfielders playing wing back.

 

[Greenacres]

FGR lead already

Indeed we do. From the commentary it sounds like the ball hit Kurtis Guthrie and went in, rather than him hitting it, from a shot by Brett Williams.

 

[slaphead]

Shoot me now.

Isn't that how you score all your goals?

 

[Greenacres]

After the way we played on Friday, when we could have carried on until the clocks changed and not scored, I will happily take a goal from any source!

 

[CTFCfan99]

Macc lead Grimsby. Be nice if they can end their faint title hopes before this Friday.

 

[The Cards]

1-0 welling, we truly are terrible

 

[Southern Shayman]

1-0 Barrow

 

[slaphead]

Shoot me now.

35 mins gone and not a single attempt on goal from either side. Thank fuck I'm at work.

EDIT Braintree score. Great.

 

[Etty Abrics]

We are 1-0 down, lucky not to have conceded a pen just now I think

Woking need to sort their shit out.

 

[White Army]

1-0 up at half time, sounds like it should be 3 at least. Norwood doing his usual of scoring whilst missing a load of chances. Results stay the same and ill be very happy.

 

[CTFCfan99]

2-0 FGR, another fluke according to the radio. Ah well

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

We've been that diabolical that Hurst has actually made a sub before the 80 minute mark! Over 40 minutes early!!
