Odd feeling driving home today for a while, I felt like I wanted to end the season now so we can review and rebuild with some fresh ideas, personnel and energy.

As based upon the last 7 days versus 3 play off contenders we will be going nowhere, after all the positivity in the summer I just did not want to experience another PO let down.

We have good players but don't play good football - Down to the manager that. As I have said on   here recently go up he stays stay down he goes........... I at the moment would be delighted with either.    

Asked a bloke today at the game if he could tell me when we had dominated a side for the full 90, he quickly replied "Altringham at home"........... I thought big flipping deal. Something has been wrong since Halifax and we appear not to have recovered.

I think you are being overly optimistic there. The table is closing up alarmingly and I reckon it is going to be touch and go to stay in the top 5.

We have lost form just at the wrong time, Tuesday looks a difficult game to me, and then Chester will come here with no pressure and a new manager.

I do agree with you that if we do get in them, they are there for the taking if we can get our act together.  


Agreed but I'd rather play clubs with nothing to play for. We could easily have lost today, as it is at least we have given ourselves every chance. If we intercourse up and drop points in the both the next two games then we can only blame ourselves.

This month was always going to be tough because the fixtures were hard enough as it is before we decided to go on a run in the FA Trophy and throw a couple more long trips into the schedule.I always expected us to drop quite a lot of points this month. I still expect us to drop more as well, I'd be shocked if we won the last four.

Tranmere losing at home was a real bonus. If they don't even make the play-offs it will be a real boost fo us as we'd be favourites going into the competition.The main thing today was not to lose as we have  two relatively easy games to come and if we win them both we're very likely to claim third spot. Today and the final game were the hard ones this morning. The bookies still make us strong favourites to win the play-offs, you'd never believe it though reading some of the views of our so-called "supporters" on here who have already given up.


You need to live in the real world rob, balderdash to what the bookies think, I'm seeing it with my own eyes

Something has been wrong since Kidderminster - A draw against a team destined for relegation before a ball had been kicked said it all.


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

If you think the bookies are wrong then flipping put a bet on! I did when they offered 2000/1 on Leicester to win the league.

Dover play Kiddy next, whoever decided for a run in the trophy needs their head testing.

We had the chance to more or less cement our place in the playoffs three weeks ago but blew it.


Grimsby and proud!

A bit overweight .


He did look it today. Would have been less of a problem if he wasn't in effect our only out and out striker today (what with Boggle being out so wide). In fact I would go so far as to say he 'didn't fit the system' today.

Dear oh dear
You are the number 1 Hurst/Fenty apologists on here.
I wonder where you will go with your love in when we are still a non league team next season????


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Just noticed this. So you've caught the disease too Rob. Shame on you. All those people who travel to watch 5th division shite are not real supporters?

What next? Four legs good, two legs bad.
