All unavailable for today's squad. Hawkins comes back in ahead of time to plug the centre back spot, we're still quite strong even with the missing players. Bench is as good as any had in a long time, but any issues defensively and we're properly bare bones time.

 

[Conker]

Hawkins can do a job at centre back but will obviously have his moments considering he’s a ST.

He played there during pre season, but playing with a broken wrist today which isn't ideal. 3rd and 5th choice cbs as the partnership.

 

[joethegill]

Turns out Dack is not on the bench, Joe Gbode takes his place. Don't know why at this stage

 

[spireite]

Grimsby much the better side so far. We've not got going yet at all.

 

[northstandexile]

Andy Cook scored after 2 mins against beleaguered Carlisle

 

[kieran_vale]

Lively game between us and Newport so far. Nice header from Stockley to give us the lead. Newport had a great chance to equalise but Ripley thankfully thwarted them.

 

[jacobncfc]

Missing IMO our five best and most important players through injury here, any win would be massive.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Nothing happening both sides cancelling each other out so far

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Billy Sharp scores goals!!!

 

[dedwardp]

Started brightly but, just like the last home game, failed to make the pressure count and now find ourselves a goal down after giving away a stupid penalty. Another frustrating day on the cards.

The amount of times this happens but we don’t score and then concede a shit goal is staggering.
Lincoln have really had our pants down with that keeper he’s fucking shite he makes a fuck up every week.

 

[We Are Sailing]

I'm going to surprise you now. This ref is fucking awful.

 

[GTFCfish]

Christ that is fucking awful defending, just clear it ffs.

 

[Luke Imp]

Missed Chesterfield's second goal, but there was very little quality in the first half. Grimsby perhaps shading with the chance at the back post after a couple of minutes and because they kept possession a little more.

Questionable goalkeeping for the first but difficult to see from the camera angle if there was a touch or not.

Cross from the right, we have a chance to clear but he just stands there instead and the Chestefield player comes in and puts it in from close range, disgusting defending.

 

[kieran_vale]

Really fun game between us and Newport. Two teams just deciding bollocks to defending and boring stuff like that. Plenty more goals in this you feel.

 

[Ainsty]

A sold first half. If we has a striker we could be 2 up by now. Unfortunately Weaver only plays defenders.

 

[spireite]

Not a great game, we've grown into it a bit more but very fortunate to be going in 2 up. Not sure how the 1st one snuck in and the 2nd looked like poor defending. We've been pretty poor overall though. I reckon we'll look much better when we can get Naylor back in the midfield. Neither Oldaker or Banks are anything approaching a stopper and just get booked when they try. Not keen on Banks in the CDM position to be honest.

 

[GTFCfish]

How to defend, Grimsby style.

And the first goal was even worse from our shit keeper.

[valefan16]

Much better performance from us as an attacking unit and looking quite slick. Triple B is causing them huge problems but despite large periods of relative dominance we look shakey at the back, awful goal to concede, Ripley just needs to come and take it but hesitates and gifts the lad an easy header.

Worried by Cover at right back.

Games there to be taken but with our defending and recent second half performances it could also be gifted away.

 

[pontoonlew]

Our commitment to being the better side but letting calamitous goals in every week really is quite something

I prefer banks to oldaker personally.. but I agree they don't work together. Need naylor back in there.

Worst we’ve played yet 2-0 up, take it

Get Berry on ball as much as we can for me, their right back does not want to know when he’s got it

I think it’s fair to say your post asking for the luck to go your way has come to fruition, so frustrating this to watch.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Better side in the first half and deserve the lead, Gillingham far more physical than us

 

[GTFCfish]

Can’t even be arsed to watch the second half I’m gonna go get a bath instead, fuck it.

 

[spireite]

What is it with Grimsby and long range worldies at our gaff. To be fair they didn't deserve to be 2 down so, fair.

 

[kieran_vale]

Newport just provided a case study in why L2 teams trying to play it along the back line is not particularly smart. Give it away to Tolaj and he sets up Chislett for our third.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Ref is an utter joke unsurprisingly
