Saturday 27th August

[Optimistic Poolie]

He got an impact injury pre season so only just got back into the squad, problem for him is Kyle Hurst has been on fire and Tommy Rowe is on the left side because Tomlin (other than Bradford) has been immense. When he has come on as a sub, he looks classy

To be honest on the odd occasion Mols switched to the left he wasn’t anywhere near as effective.

He’s at his best cutting in from the right, and he has a wand of a left foot.

He’s come on, on the right hand side but only when Rowe either goes central or to left back allowing Hurst to go on the left. To be honest there’s no way he is going to be picked before Hurst at present

hellogregory’s Saturday morning team news.

Paul Huntington is expected to come in for his first start for the club with Jack Ellis likely to drop out in what is expected to be the only change from last weeks dismal defeat to Stevenage.

Morgan Feeney and Owen Moxon face late fitness tests but will likely feature from the bench if fit. This week has probably come too soon for Ryan Edmondson as he continues his recovery from a hip injury.

Ben Barclay, Brennan Dickenson, Tobi Sho-Silva, Josh Dixon, Scott Simons, Taylor Charters and Joel Senior remain long term absentees.

Omari Patrick is expected to feature despite his impending move to Tranmere.

 

[Chief Rocka]

14 games without a league win, away at top of the table Orient, who've only conceded twice, 4/5 today, license to print money.

Rovers running out of central defenders and revert to a back four. Jake Burton young striker recalled from loan at Marine FC on the bench. For a variety of reasons predicted to be our lowest attendance at a home FL game since escaping the NL.

If Clarke and Maris have been dropped for no reason, it’s a very bizarre decision.

Bowery is ill, Boateng back in squad only on bench. Looks like Swan and Hawkins upfront despite the fact Hawkins is Cloughies fav CB now!

 

[Casey]

After his impressive first start on Tuedsay Harry Ransom keeps his place in the team.

After his impressive first start on Tuesday Jaydon Davies is not in the squad...I'm presuming injured as it looks as though Jake Hessenthaler is playing rwb.

Teddy Jenks in midfield (to replace Hess) is the other change from Tuesday.

Tony Craig back from suspension and Dom Telford returning from injury make the bench.

[Chief Rocka]

Great start! 1-0 down already.

 

[GTFCfish]

Ultra defensive team from us and we go and concede in the first 5 minutes, nice one.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Great start! 1-0 down already.

Euan Murray done twice in a minute by the same player only the second time he brings him down but it was outside the box not a penalty. Not that it makes much difference as we will lose anyway.

That line up is a joke as well, the man has not got a clue.

I couldn't be arsed with this today, no stream, no comms, not even Twitter, just checking FlashScores, genuinely can't be fucked with them, manager, players, owners, dog shit from top to bottom.

 

[F!RTHY]

I just can’t fathom this City side. We know, collectively, that we’ve got an abundance of individual quality; but the stench of complacency is so fucking apparent.

Opposition are just becoming wise to it. It’s almost as though we think it’s inevitable that we’ll win every game - the way we approach games.

There’s an arrogance in our play that I just don’t like.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Totally undeserved we've been really poor

Says everything that we score and the defence are all having a go at each other

 

[Casey]

Just checked in on Dale v Crawley. 30 mins a total of three shots, 1 corner.

I bet the fans a wetting themselves with excitement.

Tried to get a stream on, was few minutes behind, they were just about to kick off and got a notification on me phone saying penalty, turned it straight off, had enough man.

I'm still persevering. Nevermind that we're shit but there's arguments breaking out all over the pitch, it's not a happy camp at all.

 

[James Frost]

Knew JR would come good

 

[WilsdenBantam]

It’s halftime, nothing has really happened.

 

[chipmunx]

1-0 up at AFC Wombles, we look dangerous every time we go forward with pace and Wombles are mainly limited to long balls from defence to the strikers as their midfield seams non existant?

Wasn’t expecting much when I seen the team, Menayese looked half solid in the shambles of a defence so far this season and dropped for Murray who wouldn’t get a game on the Rec.

 

[Conker]

Deservedly 1-0 down at half time, it was a good goal but he just strolled past 4 defenders in what was embarrassing defending and completely avoidable. We are a different side away from home.

We probably have to pay Walsall for every 5 appearances that he makes or something as there's no way out of what we have he doesn't start like

 

[Sestonpoolie]

I'm shocked we actually scored.
What an absolute fukk up this seasons is already.

 

[Casey]

I see you have signed Thierry Nevers. Seen him play for Hammers u23 a couple of times and thought he looked a prospect.

Where is he being played?

Casey

 

[Boz]

Early goal from Josh Hawkes, but we haven’t gone on and capitalised. Rovers need a second fairly quickly.

 

[Casey]

We're ahead!

I need a lie down as we have had more shots than the opposition.

Casey

 

[DearneValleyRover]

0-0 halftime, fair reflection so far, nothing between the two

 

[E10rifle]

That half of football was about as dominant as you can get at this level. Outstanding stuff aside from the complacency in midfield for the Hartlepool goal. Think the foul for our penalty started just outside the box, but the ref made up for it by not giving a stonewall one just before Pools went up the other end and scored. Just got to concentrate and kill this game off because we look the better side by a couple of divisions.
