I've had all night to digest that rubbish served up last night and have woken up this morning feeling exactly the same.
I won't be in BP again under Paul Hurst.

See you next home game then


Let's hope so  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Mr Fenty is faceless and gutless, the one man who can change the course of the playoffs will no doubt do nothing.If he really cared about the town and its club surely he must see something has to be done before Sunday. He's probably waiting to see if we win despite Hurst rather than because of him.

The problem is what would be plan B ? I asked this a few people and every just spluttered and couldn't answer. Let's hear you'r views.


Why do we need a plan B with regards to the manager? He hasn't had a plan B for his tactics for a few years?

Would not call John faceless or gutless to be honest but I would call him guilty!

Guilty of destroying our football club, maybe he had/has our best interests at heart, BUT he has systematically presided over the demise of our club and strangely avoids much of the flack.

In business if you get so much wrong you would be sacked, removed from office yet he remains and most don't recognise that we will NEVER arise from the abyss until a new broom sweeps through the club from top to bottom.

The few chances we made during the match did not originate from the kicks up to Monkhouse from McKeown - every team has sussed that easily, and Braintree's manager talked his way through the game in sections, having solutions to everything Town put up against them.

His side are extremely fit, did not lose theuir shape during the game and kept up pressure to tackle every Town player.

We, on the other hand, struggled to move the ball accurately, had the ball bouncing around before being partially controlled then hastily booted away weakly in the general direction of a Town shirt, giving Braintree every opportunity to tackle us easily on every second phase of play.

We get close to their area, they thump our players down, knowing they only risk a booking.

They got close, we run close to them, but no one takes the booking for the team out of the area - penalty !

We don't look fit enough over 90 minutes and the passing is weak, leaving receivers exposed.

Our pace in attack was then really slow, no running into free positions to receive the ball.

Could Clay, Clifton and Venney really be that much worse than those who pretended to be our strongest 11 on Thursday?

Could the normal grafter Hoban do a job on the left wing? - don't care if he never scores if he can lay on two winning goals from a wide area.

Likewise, would East put in a shift on the right wing?

There are players who could come in to make the second game competitive - yes, we're one goal behind, but we have strikers who need service, not feeding off scraps all game.

90 minutes for our brilliant away fans to try to push the 11 on the field to perform some sort of miracle.

Is Arnold fit? Gone so slow on the wing?

The only time I have stopped going to the game was the last 10 games of Mike Newells disastrous reign because he was such a girl private, I hated not going but just couldn't face watching a side playing the Newell way.
I will stop going next season if Fenty persists in employing Hurst.


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.

Tactically bamboozled yet again after a full season to try and figure things out. Been working on trying to break Braintree down all week but nothing changed and no attempt to try something new in game.  Opposition managers seem to know exactly what it do with several different methods pre-prepared for our predictable attacks.

If we manage to overcome Braintree and win the final (massive if) the worrying thing is Fenty would keep Hurst as manager.........
