Cods scorefred sponsored by big pointy vaccine syringes

[Spiritater]

So t'Cods on their knees and tired from a game on Tues. Us a free week and picking up some results and a tad of confidence. What could go wrong eh? The game from the next two where you'd expect at least a point... but we need three now, too many draws keeps us gasping for air as we flounder.

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

I think this is the game where we can get an emphatic win. Some laughed at me at the start of the season when I suggested the Cods could go down and thought Holloway would take them up. I think he has too much money invested in the club for them to sack him following our 4-1 victory but just watch them fall towards the pit in the New Year.

Lapslie 2, Maris 1 and a Bowery penalty.

[Jimstag]

Definitely a winnable game, I saw Martin’s tweets that they were terrible last night but Holloway was insistent that they’d played well!

Hopefully that continues but I’d take a scrappy 1-0 win now. Not bothered about goals just want the 3 points please!

[The One]

Scrappy one nil win played on swamp of a pitch.

Is this scorethread for Sharpe

[Sedgwick]

please hammer them, Cant stand grimsby.

08/12/20: Grimsby Town 0 Newport County 2
Possession: 58:42%

The Mighty Mariners are all over the plaice at the moment and have lots of injuries. They were poor last night and only created two chances all game. Montel Gibson shot wide at the far post in the 1st half and sub, Owen Windsor (on loan), rocketed a free kick against the bar in the 2nd half. Newport did not have to get out of second gear. Danny Rose gave away a silly penalty just before half time which former Cod player, Padraig Amond, tucked away. Danny Rose was then subbed at half time by Ian Holloway. Grimsby did play well against Col U away in the previous game and were unlucky to lose 2-1.

They have lots of young loan players. Owura Edwards (on loan from Bristol City) is lively up out wide and can make quick runs forward with the ball. Owen Windsor (on loan from West Brom) is a decent young attacking player. He won the game for them away at Orient. Danny Preston (on loan from Forest) has done ok at left back but he is out injured. They also have Terry Taylor (on loan from Wolves), James Morton (on loan from Bristol City), Virgil Gomis (on loan from Forest) and the experienced, Kyle Bennett (on loan from Bristol Rovers).

Luke Waterfall and Matty Pollock are decent centre halfs and Luke Hendrie (nephew of Lee Hendrie) has played well at right back. Harry Clifton will probably fill in at left back.

Ian Holloway is trying to play past fast possession football on the floor like he did at Blackpool. He dropped James McKeown last night for Sam Russell because he said James McKeown was kicking the ball too long against Col U. He is short of forward players as James Hanson and Matt Green are still out injured for another month or more. Midfielders, Sean Scannell, James Tilley and Max Wright are also injured.

Ian Holloway said they played well against Newport because he is trying to boost the players' confidence. He really hammered the players after they got knocked out of the FA Cup by the Daggers and lost in the B Team Trophy to a young Hull City side. He threatened changes to the squad before the game at Tranmere and said he was going to have to get players out. They then got battered 5-0. He has learnt his lesson and realises he is stuck with these players until January and cannot change anything. He's therefore tried to be more positive since then. He's normally quite funny but he's been getting grimmer as the season has progressed and relations between him and the local media have started to get frosty. John Tondeur on BBC Radio Humberside has been giving him good grillings after Grimsby defeats.

Ian Holloway would be absolutely insane at the moment to sell his house and move up to Grimsby and invest £100,000 in the club in shares but that is what he is planning to do. It looks like it is all going to end in tears as it normally does in football.

Has Ollie had his chips?

[PEAR CIDER]

clough even said they were unlucky, maybe he was being respectful?

either way. Grimsby historically has always been a tough place for us to visit, but I think having no fans will give us the edge

I'm with you on this!
Don't know we're my hatred of them comes from thou... Just do.
At least I don't have to endure another trip to their 1930's style crappy ground this year (and the annual 6 hour McDonald's queue afterwards!).

I prefer them to Lincoln ans Grimsby. Their fans are better. Still hope we batter them.

1-2 Maynard and Lapslie

[bear 73]

Only for the hardy,, Blundell Park with a freezing wind blowing from the North Sea, a poor pitch, and players programmed for a relegation battle, .Grimsby lost 4 of the last 5 games. = the Stags lost 1 of the last 5= competing against lower league teams is a art, first you have to keep them at bay , any encouragement like a goal and you are soon back peddling. That first goal is crucial. coming home with nothing, , and a long trip to Carlisle will become longer. This means a point away is always a good point

[stagone1959]

The only good thing Grimsby ever did was hammer a further 6'' nail into the Direreites coffin lid.Good old Mitch Rose.

[five to three]

Why isn't this a one o'clock kick off???!!!

[Dan]

Why isn't this a one o'clock kick off???!!!

Because we’re not there.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

We will never have a better chance to beat Grimsby away although recently we have done fairly well in front of a hostile Blundell Park crowd apart from when Steve Evans got sent off. Even John Dempster managed an away win there last season thanks to the Chief's last minute winner.

I have seen us win in Cleethorpes twice. The first time was a 1-0 win in 1976-1977 with a goal from Colin Foster and the second time was last season. We have won 7 out of 26 away games against Grimsby and lost 13

Let's hope we don't need to rely on Maynard or Cook to help us out.
Early goal, then dominance and more goals from everywhere.

[NorthLondonStag]

Bowery misses a decent chance. Failed to make contact to a decent ball in from the right a few yards out.

Cod’s commentators Compared to Newport this Mansfield side looks very ordinary...
