Hobson had his best game for us so far.
We need to get him tied down on a new contract. At 22 years old I feel he’s got a few big moves ahead of him. Great player.

Second best, 12th in 91/92.Bods was an underrated player and was captain too 95/96 I think, one the clubs best ever seasons. (in fact was it our highest ever finish, 14th in the second tier of English football?)
Definitely a fair point. But the macca comparison is still valid and the senior players feel it's on them to sway the ref. He does it too much maybe in some people eyes. (Especially the refs eyes)I would agree if the yellows were due to him being combative.. but most of them are for dissent... Unprofessional behaviour
He was utterly shocking. Refusing to communicate with the players other than to regularly swear at them apparently. However, equally shocking for both sides. But it killed the game with the non-stop fouling that he was way to weak to stop.Fair enough, didn’t notice it myself. I’m not saying ref was great, just didn’t think he was that bad.
Let's be honest if your picking certain players for certain pitches then when will they play? Most if not all pitches in league 2 are bogs!! Ours is possibley the best in the league.I wouldn't have risked Taylor on that pitch today. I'm sure he will start or be involved against Cambridge.
Twice in the pre-match thread I typed posts saying for me this is our must important game of our season but I thought it seemed to exaggerated but it could have been a pivotal game. We could have come off the bottom, two points ahead of Grimsby with two games in hand... Over the last few weeks we've been sayings it shows how far we've come, and that's absolutely true but a win here wouldn't resulted in a representation and reward of that and I would be saying we've taken our initiative back [not that it isn't in our hands still but you know what I mean. Now it's another few weeks possibly of being the bottom club...
*I couldn't listen to the whole game so fill in the blanks if I miss something or get something wrong* but I thought Olayinka for Macca was a slightly negative decision. I thought for sure Taylor would come on and be that bit of creativity. I guess Dieng played in Olayinka's role.
Someone said in the match thread about Hart being suspect. I don't recall Akinola having the busiest of games. When I read that post I thought yeah, I'd being on Clifford, move Hart to LM and played 4-4-2 so Akinola could partner with RHF. But we only made one sub? Odd...

I have a feeling it was a very heavy pitch and with quite a few matches coming up MM didn’t want to risk any more players than he needed to.
But that's where your wrong.The alternative would be to let them kick us off the park and leave us short of players for the important 3 home games......That embarrassing excuse of a ref was never going to protect our players so well done JW and Macca. At least their actions made Grimsby think twice.
That one on the far side against ANG would have been no complaints from Nobby Stiles. Plus lifting sneaky studs up etc. I doubt Olay will be playing Tuesday and that was definitely the time for a card. Ref can have no complaints about our complaints.
Do you think so? OK, game of opinions, and all that.Hobson had his best game for us so far.
What do you think then?Do you think so? OK, game of opinions, and all that.
On a better pitch napper I’m sure we would haveThought that was a decent performance and with a bit of luck we would have won.
Egbri missed out last week with injury so assume it’s the same again this week. Not sure on Walsh.Apologies if this has been covered but does anyone know why Walsh and Egbri aren’t in the squad ?
Illness , injury ?

I like Reeco and he looks useful but I thought Grimsby sorted him out pretty well on the wing. He is so left footed that they just kept forcing him on to his right where he was less effective. The defence has tightened up and we play some nice football in midfield but we desperately need someone who can put our chances away.Grimsby got away with a hell of a lot thanks to a very poor ref. They deserved nothing. Just trying to injure our best players throughout the match. Well impressed with ANG and Reeco and Olayinka before he got assaulted. The defence was really good, and hardly gave them a sniff. Oxley looked very confident with the little he had to do. Just a cutting edge missing today as Akinola looked a bit knackered. Don't forget, he was out of the game for a long time. Might need a one game rest.
