If you want the club to go up you play your 30 goal striker not a crock who not match fit (nowt personal JPP) and bring on a Diddy right back instead of him.
I understand your sentiment, have always been pro-Hurst and I agree we need to stick together but I'm absolutely at a loss to defend to total insanity shown again and again and again at the minute.
IF we spawn promotion stuttering and bumbling over the line I still think all the anti-Hursters will be dead right in what they have been saying.
Not The Grimsby Way.
I don't disagree with any of that, and found the tactics baffling, particularly the reversion to the "Monkhousan-Syndrome" (diagonal hoofs to nowhere somewhere on the wing). For me, I want Bogle and Amond up front, Stewart playing a part and for us to get it on the ground and play through teams as we all know they can. I still think we have a great chance to go up and a playoff line-up of Forest Green Rovers, Dover Athletic and Braintree Town shouldn't worry us. So that's why I'm backing the team and keeping my torch and pitchfork locked away until the end of the season.

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.
Not a betting man, work to hard for my money and three kids to feed. You got money on town to go up? Someone on here always asks you but you never answer him. If I was a betting man, I would say you haven't .

I think Fenty tells Rob of what to post
If Rob doesn't do what Fenty says then Fenty will close down The Fishy again
Completely wrong and the exact opposite of how it is. Rob has had a lot of sleepless nights being the guardian of the fishy and if you read his posts is not a Fenty puppet.

It really pisses me off when you get sarcastic comments like 'the mighty mighty dover'. Grimsby town football club wasn't created with a divine right to be above any football other club. Our history doesn't give us any right to regard ourselves as above dover. Dover are clearly a good team in this league, and although a win is desirable, the reaction there has been to gaining a point away to a team above us in the league is so over dramatic it's ridiculous. Yes hursts tactics and selection were questionable, but the result was acceptable.
Our history doesn't give us any right. Of course not. No one is saying that. But we're talking about a club who can only get 1900 for a game such as today. Clearly they won't have our resources. They were not very good. I saw it with my own eyes. We have a squad easily better than theirs. Yet we cravenly set out to counter them rather than go out to win. Surrendering the initiative again. The result is not acceptable when we are clearly capable of doing better. If I was say, a Woking fan, I would have been happy with it.

FGR have dipped and admittedly we could beat them, Dover? Based upon today and a dodgy pen in the home tie they will be a challenge. Braintree? Again we should be able to beat them too. If Eastleigh make it we can beat them........................... BUT!! We at the moment are playing gash so you never can tell.

The bookies had Amond as nailed on top scorer a couple of weeks ago. Now Dan Holman is the top scorer in the league...but supposedly the bookies are always right? Statistics and odds don't always tell the whole story.

If I was a betting man, I would say you haven't .
I had over £100 on us at the start of the season. I hardly ever cash bets in because I won't take rip-off odds but Bet365 actually allowed me to cash in for a small profit after 3 games. so I bit their hand off because we had an awful start and FGR were miles ahead at that stage. Generally, I won't bet on us in this division because I am not a favourite backer and we start virtually every game as favourites or close favourites. I've backed us plenty of times in the football league. It amazes me more people on here don't bet seriously, especially if you watch live lower league football regularly, it should give you an edge. I make plenty of money from football betting and other people can read the game far better than I can. These days I rely on increasingly my models and I have even written my own software to put my bets on, but even with my own intuition I reckon I can win, or at least break even.

| 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. GOD |

I don't bet as someone recently said when you go to the bookie "there are 5 windows for paying in and 2 for paying out" that says everything TBH.

Right so you have a go at people on here for not having faith and yet you cash out after about 3 games. Quickscoped.
