Grimsby v Macclesfield match abandoned due to heavy rain......

 

[TheYank]

Radio suggested he did. Just repeating it

Nah, Davis jumped for it but the ball was too high for him in the middle of the box. Hourihane made the back post run and had the free header for the goal

 

[South Side Villan]

We're getting a bit sloppy, can't switch off.

 

[Bonker]

El Ghazi off the post. Great hold up play by Davis there to release him though.

And precisely the kinda lost-cause ball that I'd hoped to see Nakamba win back for us to get it to Davis - from what I've seen that's him all over.

El Ghazi is so infuriating - he's so casual with his work at times that it makes him look cool as f**k as on Friday against Everton when it works and a knobhead at times when it doesn't come off :)

 

[TheYank]

Good to hear Allez, Allez, Allez over the arab commentators

 

[TheYank]

Nakamba just popped up with a quality turn and then pass in for Hourihane to shoot

Edit: He backheel megged his defender and then ran past him

Apparently he's got some moves on him too :)

I can also see why Deano is so high on Konsa. Reminds me a lot of Tuanzebe in terms of his willingness to dribble forward into the opponent's half when given the space. Really opens up options moving forward

He's grown into the game a lot 2nd half.

Same age and ahead of Tuanzebe in the England set up. Maybe we got the best of the deal.

But land has just made another howler

 

[danvilla2]

Butland having another shocker. Reckon he’s lost his focus since being denied a move to VP?

 

[TheYank]

I don't love the idea of bringing Jack onto the pitch with a 3-0 lead against a lower league team...

Davis Grealish assist

 

[TheYank]

Of course right as I say that I see Grealish run straight down the pitch and give Davis a tap in goal

 

[South Side Villan]

Brilliant, there you go Davis :D Lovely run and cross in from Grealish.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Don't fuck this up now!

 

[Xchurch Villa]

Impact substitution or What!

 

[Bonker]

Of course right as I say that I see Grealish run straight down the pitch and give Davis a tap in goal

Own it
