Absolutely not! nothing I have seen so far tells me anything other than relegation battle, last seasons team would of been mid table comfortably.

It's very early to say but probably agree with Vinno. A bottom half campaign seems most likely. I think we are short of quality in key positions, have too many conference standard players, too many from a dismal York team of recent seasons, not enough winners, and, as usual, are perpetually short of a striker, which is wearing very thin now. And, we're defending like amateurs.

Welcome to warped inner mind of Fishy followers.

Four games in and the doom mongers are having a field day. Technical problems take time to smooth out, and guaranteeed success is not always on the cards, but it's a marathon not a sprint. Still expect them to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season. We did clinically take apart the team who are top of the table in the first game, and it will come good again. Give it time ffs.


Didn't see today's game, but was at the 3 first League games and it just looks like we have a few defensive weaknesses* to resolve and we'll be OK. Whilst I didn't think it looked brilliant against Morecambe by any means, they didn't pose us any problems yet they're currently top.

* the sort of lapses that Toto was prone to.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I think a better question ; Is the gap between the conference and league 2 bigger than what most thaught ? On the evidence of Cheltenhams and our start you would have to say yes . I can't see Podge scoring more than 10 in league two this season and I think we needed (need) a better quality of goalscoring striker than him or what we have in the building . Get the right transfers in and we should be fine (Mobile CB, CM and goalscorer) , don't and it could be a difficult season . UTMM Fox

They certainly did struggle in the early part of the season.

I'm not worried at all, from what I've seen we have the nucleus of a good team but we do need a couple of additions though, it's early days and we will improve and adapt, just give it time.


Grimsby and proud!

Would they fook. Clay was and is average. Davies is better than Tait, though i was a big fan of Tait. Chambers looks to be on a par with Arnold and Toto i agree with.
