Cods scorefred sponsored by no more golf talk

Perch, O’Toole, Quinn have been nothing short of a shambles there, clearly not bothered about playing.

Gale clearly needs loaning out too.

[Curry 9 Brace 7]

I just find this broomo guy a bit weird, following Nigel about and he does seem very condescending in his remarks to stags fans

[1970Stag]

Maybe Bowery is the back up gk as well, about the only place he hasn't played him, oh and up front!

[Marky Mark]

Anyone know any decent golf courses?

[broomo]

Grimsby have looked sharp, a yard quicker than us into the tackle and playing some nice slick stuff.

O'Toole very poor, for the first goal and in general. Caught massively on the back foot for a through ball he should have cut out.

Second goal Perch doesn't need to try to win it there and then Jordan very half hearted.

I hope we don't see him at centre back in any meaningful game.

Thought the challenge from Simmonds on Hartigan was a bad one but him and Drew-Clarke are running the show.

Quinn looks off the pace, Gale has looked intelligent on the odd occasion he manages to get hold of the ball. Swan not done enough, yet.

Not one "fringe" player has done anything to force their way into the starting 11, Gale for his effort and 2 through balls to Swan is possibly the pick of the bunch.

Not a great 45 minutes but credit has to go to them. They look hugely up for it.

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Terrible half of ‘football’.

Are the backs using crutches?. To say the whole team look slow and uninterested would be an understatement. Grimsby aren’t winning the ball back, we keep giving it to them. I hate to say it but this is not even conference standard. Clough needs to earn his money at half time and put a rocket up them.0

[AshoverStag]

Hartigan getting injured in this pointless game, is a disaster

I’d rather have not played and gave them 3 points. If Boateng not fit Saturday would not want to rely on the other choices

AtLeast from the first half we hopefully won’t see Quinn and O’toole playing.

And it’s not even a reserve team. All playing are options we’d need to use if we get more injuries. I’m starting to see the point of the too small a squad posters

[Hitchcocks size 10s]

Maybe Bowery is the back up gk as well, about the only place he hasn't played him, oh and up front!

Playing Bowery at CH is so laughable, it’s on a par with Flitcroft playing Alex McDonald at Right Back in the MK Dons promotion decider, absolutely ludicrous .

We not worthy

Went titts up with no Gazza

[NEStag]

We aren’t very good tonight. We just need to put it down to experience and move on. Saturday is far more important. I only hope we don’t pick up more injuries.

[Ralphy]

That was 45 minutes of life I’m never getting back!! Jeez that was a hard watch

[MTFCMusings]

Sub Macca please

[Marky Mark]

Hewitt on for Macca

Bowery on the left at the start of the second half apparently, the penny has dropped.

[Marky Mark]

Far more attacking intent - 4 corners in first 5 minutes after none in first half, and as many shots

[yorkshire stag]

Bowery on the left at the start of the second half apparently, the penny has dropped.

what a complete shambles of a first half, what on earth was he thinking there ?

[Richard Cranium]

Who cares its a glorified friendly

[James]

Who cares its a glorified friendly

Everyone when we’re losing and the manager decides to experiment with the team.

[MTFCMusings]

I couldn’t care less about this game to be honest, just want the first teamers through safely and the baffling Bowery centre back experiment to end.

[stag324]

Plenty of effort this second half but looking devoid of ideas up front
