...an all-time 'match that still gies you nightmares' ITFC XI.
A line up of individuals' with a match day performance that has you waking up in a cold sweat
GK - was tempting to just go with Andy Marshall, but I've gone with Aran Lee-Barrret for his nightmare in the League Cup against Northampton in 2011
RB - Drissa Diallo. Tell me you don't her his name and see Matthew blood Etherington bearing down on him
CB Mark Fish - an obvious, but classic one
CB
LB
RM
CM - Johnathan Douglas - the classic Newcastle away performance of 'legend'.
CM - Vemund Brekke Skard - turns out, a PE teacher on the pitch was nearly as bad an idea as one as CEO
LM
CF - Richard Naylor - I liked Bam-Bam. A lot. It's probably unfair to single him out for his performance against Inter when he had the thankless task of playing up front on his own.
CF -
Manager - Keane, at home on the telly to Newcastle, on Bobby Robson memorial day [Post edited 5 Sep 2022 17:00]

That was a weird one all round wasn't it?
He came with quite the pedigree and then.....that happened. |
Does he make the team, or at least the squad for that? |  |

Didn't Tommy Oar only last until half time on his debut against Huddersfield? I can't remember why, but shortly after claimed homesickness and wanted his contract terminated. |
Of course, to replace the Fishmeister, I give you Polish Pete Malarczyk. He made an impression on his debut. A big bloke, could he be one of Mick’s successful punts? Er nope. He came on in the game against Brighton. We were already being played off the pitch and he promptly got taken to the cleaners.
He was so out of his depth he needed a snorkel. The kind of player that looked like the bloke in the boozer who won a raffle ticket to turn out for his team. Three appearances. Three too many. [Post edited 5 Sep 2022 17:39]

Think that was a couple years earlier at the Riverside. Chambers having a mare was at home., we lost 2-0 I think. |
The horrors of that era all merge into one nightmare! |  |

GK Lee Pullen v Grimsby. Cue Chesney Hawkes singing "One and Only", partly because it was his one and only League game for us, partly because it's the one and only goal involving a back-pass at Portman Road that comes close to Bryan Gunn's howler.
LB Zeki Fryers v Huddersfield (Away). The performance for which the phrase "Are you absolutely certain that he's a professional footballer?" was invented. |
An uppie for that Zeki performance....I say 'performance'..... | |

That was never a pen by the way, it was almost outside the D let alone the penalty area. |
Yeah, I've probably been harsh (it's just that's one of the all time results that rankles with me) Farcical that you're getting battered, you've gone down to 10 men, bring a centre-back on at half-time to try to save some face, and he gets himself sent off a couple of minutes later (but as you rightly say, pretty rubbish decision)
Think that was Jack Ainsley's debut at CB, so might have to shift the blame to him... |  |

Indeed, and he was fouled first. In addition to Town's hopelessness, one of the worst refereeing and linespersoning performances. Think two or three of their goals were offside from my recollection. |  | | |

Old Trafford, March ‘95 dubbed “the slowest back four the game has ever seen”. Take your pick which of these make the back four but one of them has to be a fall guy. Who was marking Cole? Linighan? |  | | |

Yeah, he was terrible for us. Surprised when he went on to have a decent career. Worst miss ever from a Town striker? |  |

I believe Pullen is an excellent kit man. Maybe Paul Cook will take him to Chesterfield as head coach? |  |

Insult to injury, probably signed Paul Taylor off the back of that fixture as well... | |

Bound to be a few in a career spanning nearly 400 games and managerial spells by Pauls Jewell, Lambert, Cook and Hurst. |

GK Tom Carson for me. One dreadful performance in a 2-0 home defeat to Leicester. He was on loan from somewhere, this was back in the John Duncan years, and filled all the crap Scottish goalkeeper stereotypes. Overweight, slow, poor distribution, poor shot stopper, didn’t command his area. Basically everything you don’t want in a goalie. |  | | |

No matter what he may have done or not done in other games Naylor gets a free pass from this sort of line up for his goal and "that" pull down of the long pass in the play-off final.
Edit. AND the pass to Reuser.

Talking of Paul Taylor, he deserves a mention. Mick brought him on at Loftus Toad and subbed him again 20 minutes or so later. A statement about their relationship, the end of his town time and pretty much the start of the end of his career as he became a journeyman of little note. [Post edited 5 Sep 2022 19:56]

Paul Taylor was Jewell's last act of folly. However, he did initially have a bid accepted by Posh for Taylor & the more than useful George Boyd. Neither player could agree personal terms (thanks, Marcus Evans) so the deal collapsed & unfortunately Jewell went back 2 days later & returned with Taylor only for the tidy sum of £1.5m. One of Town's worst ever signings. | |

Has Giles Coke been included yet? No one specific game, just the fact he was selected to start any games. | |

Bit unfair. On his day, he was awesome, almost unplayable.
Just a shame his day was usually a Thursday. | |

No, but he ought to be. Proper bloke ‘Cokey’ may have been, footballer he wasn’t. He made 10 appearances. I’d summarise him as:
Strengths - ….. well he managed to put his shirt on the right way round and didn’t forget his shorts
Weaknesses - couldn’t tackle, couldn’t pass, no shot on him, poor in the air, couldn’t run, no pace.
I get he was sent on as sub a few times to ‘do a job’ at the end of a game, but I never saw anything in his game. Fortunately, Mick got plenty right with the cheap punts even if Coke wasn’t one of them. | | | |

I should have said I was referring to his debut, the only time I saw him live but did he play again after that? And didn't he claim he was subbed to get the fan adoration moment?
Looked like a footballer, thought like a footballer, played like my nan. | | | |

Coke was a classic McCarthy signing - a 30ish journeyman who could probably "do a job". However, he was a permanent sick note at Town & hardly played any football in the ensuing 4 years, before helping Grimsby back to the football league under our old friend Paul Hurst. He's now working as a development coach under another former Town sick note, Neil Woods. | |

Now there is a name I’ve not heard in years. I do remember him. Gormless looking bloke who played now and again in the dark days of Duncan. 27 appearances in three years. I’m surprised it was that many. Glad to see he made some sort of career at Grimsby. | | | |

Did we really play Adam Proudlock, maybe we could chuck him up top, I think he would be good at pressing, well….he could probably sit on someone quite effectively,……. not metaphorical sit, actually sit on someone. |  | | |
