Grimsby Town v Colchester & Lincoln

[BlackHaddock]

Two threads in one, six points please. Four minimum. Less than 4,000 tonight against Colchester, over 8,000 for the early KO game against newly beat (a few times) Lincoln.

Surely the derby warrants its own thread...

 

[gijsbert_bos]

What fresh hell is this?

 

[PaulHaddock]

Yeah this isn't on. The derby thread is one of, if not, the biggest match in the league this year.

I was just going to do the Colchester match in the General Match thread.

No, it's only lincoln city.

Sorry, one day won't hurt surely!

Just killing two turds with one stone.

We look like we'll never get another point on the road ever again, so hopefully that leads to a nice away win tonight. Anything is a bonus.

Rather hoping your away woes carry on a bit longer to be honest.

 

[GodsGift]

We're so massive we're showing Saturday's game on a big screen at Sincil Bank.

 

[Son of Cod]

Jones, Matt, Rose and Osborne on the bench. He's benched two thirds of our only good and fit players and started all of the worst ones bar Kelly.

 

[Son of Cod]

1-0 Colchester already. Who'd have thought starting all your shite players would be a bad plan?

 

[dedwardp]

Terrible goalkeeping from McKeown on the opener and terrible defending from Inniss moments later. Bring on the goals!

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Shit defending for both goals to be honest. Hooper did well to get in front of his man though. We're hoofing it again.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Either side could've scored again, not sure who but their lad miskicked a peach of a cross and Dembele was very unlucky smacking the inside of the post. To be honest it looks like two very poor sides to me.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Absolutely shocking game. Colchester had the better of it until the final 5 where we had them on the ropes.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Looked like we might have nicked it at the end but it's the correct result in the end from two very uninspiring sides. That game has done little to assure me that we won't get battered by Lincoln on Saturday.

 

[GodsGift]

Meanwhile, over at Shrewsbury...

 

[PaulHaddock]

Yeah but Hurst didn't kiss our arses so that means he's shit.

 

[dedwardp]

We tend to look like quite the pub team when we venture anywhere outside of Colchester so any point on the road is most welcome currently. Shame we had to take Reid off for Cameron James who is well out of form when Reid was looking the most threatening, but I doubt he has got 90 minutes in him at the moment.

 

[Impish]

3000 there, pathetic!

 

[Impish]

Even Scunny are getting more but you're still ahead of Gainsborough.

 

[Nat Brown's Foil Coat]

Relishing the prospect that we, after all these years, can finally mock you for your attendances.

Speaking of which, I won't be going on Saturday, couldn't get a ticket. I was however in attendance for all the derbies in the non-league era, when we had 1,500 lovely empty away end seats around us.

 

[Impish]

Already started. Embarrassing at the minute, we take more away for Christ's sake. Tinpot.

Slade managed to sneak 25 players on to the pitch? Impressive!

You'll take more than 3500 away this season the same amount of times as we did last: once.

Yep and they are a whopping 2 points behind the intergalactic Imp all stars with their 500k midfield and Championship loanees.

I know incredible really considering your non-league nobodies and golden oldies. Should start to pull away soon starting Saturday.

And will that be with 2 or 3 away goals this week??

 

[PaulHaddock]

IT HAS BEGUN!!!!!!

We're getting battered on Saturday.

Though with Lincoln's team of giants, it's hardly surprising. All they're going to do is hoof it up to Rhead. Their 400k midfielders are going to nullify ours. Crowley has been preparing for this one since Gateshead. #impvasionII in full swing until they realise they don't know where BP is.

Yeah I know terrible isn't it:

Hmm can see it panning out similar to Stevenage so 2 possibly 3. This is the perfect game for us because you're shit and won't be stringing many passes together or dictating any sort of tempo. It will be a dogfight, a scrap, which we love so we'll out battle you then pick you off with our pacey wingers. With the tune of Slade out ringing in the background.

And Rhead won't be playing Paul. Dropped a couple of weeks ago. And oh our midfield is 400k now? Was 500k an hour ago haha coming down!​
