Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home V Grimsby Saturday 10th April @ 3.00pm

Not just long balls and height..they took no prisoners on the ground either with no-nonsense tough tackling. Something we need to clue up on.

 

Exactly my point. Our centre backs don’t know wether to stick or twist.

 

True. It’s the defence as a whole and that depends on everyone knowing their role. If there’s any uncertainty then problems arise. Your only as strong as your weakest part, whoever that may be.

 

We're not up against world beaters in this league so let's man up and get smarter.

 

But, that " One " player can make life a lot easier for our defenders yet, he chooses not too.

 

I'm not saying that this game will be tough but I expect Hanson and Grimsby to be a dangerous team. As you rightly say Hanson could be a danger in the air and bring others into play.

Feel if Grimsby lose this then they are finished in this league.

 

Hopefully FGR will also continue their poor run and tonight, we will all be Mansfield fans.

 

I get what you are saying Monks , however , he’s CAPTAIN and he’s NOT organising HIS box imho and lastly he isn’t COMMANDING it .

That’s where all this uncertainty originates.

 

Wow. Feel quite touched that you remembered me however "slippery" not so sure.
A win maybe but don't think

"Slippery" behave - but its nice to be remembered! A win for you - maybe but don't expect it will be comfortable. We have taken points off Salford & Cheltenham recently and should have won both.
However most of us think we're doomed and can thank Holloway for that. The biggest Charlatan in football. Good luck for the rest of the season obviously barring tomorrow.

 

Ended up 5-2 to Oldham. Gotta say on paper both teams have it all to play for tomorrow. Should be a good game.

Imagine the atmosphere. Similar to that last February last season when McCall came back... Shame we can't be there

 

No excuses not to win all three.

I never want to see Evans and Clarke in any City team, let alone together.
Pedestrian and predictable, just 2 words I can use without being censored.

 

Billy Clarke starting - I am saying nothing after making an arse of myself over CD the other week but ..............

 

Maybe clutching at straws here, but... actually I am struggling on this one. In the past he has been good at linking up play.

 

They're clearly expecting Grimsby to park the bus given that lineup. Best hope they do otherwise there's no pace in this side to counter.

 

All the pace taken out the team there. Don’t like that line up

 

Yes. God help us if we don't score first.

Would have much preferred Vernham or Crankshaw to start.

 

Think Grimsby will be out the blocks. They simply have to win. If they have done their homework, they may be aware we are slow starters. I mean at Stevenage on Monday, we could have been 3 down in 20 minutes
