Big Match Live: Grimsby Town 1 Kidderminster 3

“One win on tuesday shuts a lot of people up. Seriously I think anybody who has a more considered practical view on this must just not bother with you lot. It's one game, they played better football than us yes, but that doesn't mean we deserved to lose, we play a different style of play! Thought we had 3 or 4 great chances they scored all but one of theirs, the one difference between us was how they punished us on the break. Having been home and away this season to nearly every game I can't remember us conceding on the break, Niven get's injured (a guy who is one of the best players at stopping the ball at the breakdown I've ever seen at BP) and we ship 3. We had an excellent record against the better sides and saturday was a blip.........I fear we may fall short of automatic but it's key we get Pearson and Niven back for the play offs, it'sconjecture but I do think if they had played one goal would have got us 3 points, we didnt look anywhere near as solid as we have all season those guys are our 2 most vital players IMO. Way too much negativity on here, but then again, you guys haven't had your fun ****ging town off this season, must be hard for you all! UTM”

“Why oh why does Scott become involved in touchline altercations time and time again. He needs to direct his passion into tactically motivating his team, which is what he is paid for.
The team has been crying out all season for a quality central midfielder to help out Craig Disley, yet he brings in two loan strikers who have added nothing to the quality of he team.
The full backs lack positional discipline and cost us yesterday.
Kidderminster looked well organised throughout the team and with better quality in front of goal coud have ended up with a flattering scoreline.
I felt for Hannah he was three feet from a hat trick, then gets pulled. The workrate of Cook was terrific and despite this setback.
I fear the play offs beckon but it wont be yesterdays defeat we should blame, it is the home points squandered to Stockport Dartford Hereford andLincoln and defeats at Braintree and Hyde that hurt.
On the positive side a draw at Forest Green and a draw yesterday would have been acceptable and we have one point more !
Go for it tuesday boys UTM”

“Loosing is one thing, the team looks tired and I have to say its the first time that I've seen us run out of Idears in the last quarter of a match. Its usually throwing the kitchen sink at them. Crossed my mind that the trip to wembley has become a distraction for the player that would explain the inability to get close the the opposition. I booed at the end of the match not because we lost but because the managers and players where so predicatable and the standard we set over so many weeks simply wasn't there. Kidderminster simply rolled us over and we with the exception of a 12mins spell in the second half when we raised the tempo were like lambs to the slaughter.”

“All this talk about 9 from 3 games, pontloony and Grantyy eat your words, haven't you learnt your lesson from previous seasons about gobbing off what we are going to do and what we are not going to do, you could smell this result in Kidderminster soon as it was mentioned in the Telegraph, lets just get on and do what we are good at and leave the speculation to the gamblers”

“KIdderminster were a better side than us..up until christmas we looked like we could be something half decent and give most teams a run for there money but I think constant changing a team and telling them they have to fight for a place when maybe they were playing ok upsets the flow of the team.Most of the time we don't even pass to eachother.we seem to win games by sheer luck.Cook worked his socks off but we seem to fall to pieces when we have 2 players out such as Pearson and Niven.Rob Scott asked the fans to back up the team,buy tickets and be there for the team..we were there..where were they...probabley frightened they were going to lose there place on a team that does'nt seem to play as a unit.Also him standing at the side of the pitch shouting at them all the time must make them live on there nerves.when that fails he starts shouting and swearing at the other team managers and 4th official until he's threatened with being sent off..how very adult...I doubt if that breeds respect in him from his players..We'll be there on tuesday hoping that they can regroup again and show us what they can do...keep the faith..”

“Taking a reality check, we are still in a great position but we don't look like a Championship winning side. There is no reason why we can't get promotion through the back door. I still think the team is work-in-progress and we could do with some stronger characters on the pitch, it must be distracting for ther players hearing Scott shouting at them constantly. We need leaders on the pitch as well as the sidelines.Since Jan, a decent team was going to turn us over as we take 20 minutes or so to start playing. Kidderminster were not great just got the tactics right on the the day and were more physical than us - at times too physical and the referee woke up and saw this in the 2nd half. Like many I was baffled by the changes, Devitt lost the ball far too easliy also we missed Niven as this could have been a game we had to grind out a result and Thanoj went to the ground far too easily. Positives - great support, Wembley in 2 weeks, in the play-offs and the club's balance sheet getting better. The Mansfield game could let us know where we end up this season - so come on lad lets see your character and show us what you can do.”

“Have to agree with most comments on here, although I do think we created a few chances which on another day may have gone in. No doubt Kiderminster are a good side and don't want to sound to negative but why are the managers insistant on Lewis playing some part in every game...is it written in his contract? Haven't seen him do anything up to know...headless chicken springs to mind.”

“Heard this £300k before,prize money to winner 50k runner up 25k gate split between clubs and wembley not on tv only highlights cost of winning cup £300k?? Cost of league football priceless”

“We have lost our momentum,especially at home and nothwithstanding the difference in class from Kiddi' yesterday,this home defeat has frankly been on the cards for months..(post Xmas).
We have lost that 'classy' edge since Pond and Neilson left and whilst squad rotation may help,it does disrupt a grwing understanding between players enabled to be established in a team(ie Hannah and Cook's partnership earlier in the Season)

My final point is,whilst not challengings S n H's ability over bringing in decent players and having a good tactical appreciation,they dont seem to be able to ''fire up/pump up'' our players''.

Apart from a ten minute spell we weren't even competing with there mobility..”

“I agree with all the considered and balanced thoughts below;especially Lordscatho.”
