Kelly played behind Hooper on Tuesday so I guess it'll be the same today.

Dembele with a great run.
This lad is class.

Quoted from HertsGTFC
Dream team up front then?


What's all the slagging off of our No 9????
First time I've seen him. He's been great up to now.


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.

No clean sheets this season.

And not enough chances converted, I safely predict.

We now need at least 2 goals to win today, so by bye bye 3 points

I decided a couple of werks ago for various reasons that I won't be watching Town again while JF is at the club . His tenour has been nothing short of failure . If he thinks promotion from non league counts then he is as deluded as most his management choices

I really hope Fenty has kept working out with his trigger-finger in anticipation of Slades team being worse off than Bignots team was after the same amount of games. And has someone else lined up as Slade is shown the door.
It's tragic how gutless this team and club have become, at 1-0 down there's a barely a faint glimmer of scraping a draw AT HOME, at 2-0 down the fans may as well go home now.

We can't handle it when they start stringing passes together. It looked like their guy handled the ball for their penalty. Maybe don't deserve to be 2-0 down but we are shocking! If they kick it up a gear then we could lose 4 or 5 nil here.

Starting to get very disheartening now

Watching online and got to say this has to be as bad as watching Neweels gutless wonders, apart from Mills and Dembele the rest are very poor. Especially poor in defence where someone as fat as that fleetwood player had plenty of time to swing a leg and score.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

The "as it stands table" shows that we are 92nd in the football league as. It stands.............. well at least Borehamwood is close to home next season.

Even after 4 games looking at the way we are playing we are in danger of having a relegation fight on our hands.

Quote from Slade: " Lets make Blundell Park a fortress".  Does he realise that we have to be inside the fort and not outside. Its really dire. Why doesn't he put a side out on the pitch to attack,we are clueless. Pre season stands for nothing,we score 30+ goals, and now we couldn't score in a brothel. Come on Slade, put attackers on and give us a chance.

I don't see a lot of difference between Div 4 and the Conference except we tend to win more in the Conference. It won't be so bad, lets just get this season over and start again at somewhere nice like Chester next year

What is going on. I don't care if some cards are debatable or whatever. 5 reds in 5 games is ridiculous and boils down to a complete lack of discipline.

If you're going to play with one striker, it's generally going to be an inherently defensive formation, yet we're shipping goals left, right and centre. Slade quickly abandoned his 3-4-3 during his first spell (though we had been playing some good stuff with that formation), so perhaps time for him to do the same this time around?

Its early. Its still very early. But its looking like Paul Hurst was an accidental bit of clever stability brought by the man himself, and we are still the same badly run club we were 7 years ago.

Can anyone remember when fenty appointed Slade and he made out we were going for a full on assault on the league and show our intent..

I didn't know playing one striker James berrett in the midfield and getting red cards every game plus putting a new meaning on sladeball was what he meant.

Let's not panic and let's not start hyperbole about how hopeless we are. We're looking poor at the moment but have a good few players out injured who will be back soon, we're only losing narrowly despite the ridiculous number of red cards so it won't take much to make the necessary improvements and improve results.

Fair post. Time to keep a cool head and no knee jerk reaction. I was very disappointed with the signings made though and so not too surprised that we struggle utm

The returns of Jones, Clements Vernon and eventually Osborne will surely make a difference but even so. Not looking promising so far

Slade has had a terrible last 15 months. Sacked by Charlton 6 months into a 3 years contract and didn't even last 3 months at Coventry. I've always been a Slade fan and was delighted when he was reappointed but it seems to me his confidence must be shot to pieces - is that showing itself in the current performances?

After telling Bignot we were a longterm project but also giving him free reign in a january transfer window


Then sacking him shortly afterwards.

Same thing happened with Neil Woods after allowing him to re-build the squad. But apparently that wasn't his decision.

Oh and Graham Rodger soon after he'd recruited a lot of players.

But on the plus side we had the 5 years given to Paul Hurst.

Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

I agree.

I still just don't understand why Bignot was dumped and we bought Slade in. I thought it was a baffling decision at the time, and absolutely nothing I've seen yet this convinces me it was the right choice. It's been a pretty dreadful start by any measure.

You've forgotten that the fans were boycotting Slades games at Cardiff until they shuffled him upstairs and out the way. He's on a shocking run and it doesn't appear to be turning.

You call it hyperbole but until we stop getting a red card a game and playing the most defensive football to ever grace blundell park I'm going to carry on being concerned.

The whole picture at the minute is very concerning , we were promised a full on assault on the league by fenty bignot was sacked as fenty believed he hadn't the capabilities Russell Slade has in the transfer market , well comparing the signings both managers have made except maybe dembele for Slade and Jones for bignot you have to say there isn't a great deal , infact I would say Slade's signings have been poor on a whole.

He lines up with one striker plays Sam Jones out wide berrett and summerfield in midfield I'm sorry but what is he trying to achieve here ? It's never going to work.

Matt Dean asked Slade a few weeks ago if we have a disciplinary problem which Slade basically laughed at Matt Dean and said don't be stupid , well five red cards in as many games suggests otherwise.

The whole set up and the way we line up worries me and I was a fan of slade last time but what is he trying to do ? I am genuinely worried and I don't consider when you look at the bigger picture with poor signings negative tactics and awful disciplinary problems hyperbole.

Because I don't think Fenty is very good at understanding people. And after having 6 years of a very steady Paul Hurst, he probably didn't mentally prepare himself for another young inexperienced manager, who would make mistakes. He probably didn't realise he needed to be completely clear with the clubs needs, and thought it'd be fine to tell him it was a long term project, when really what he meant is 'I want to be in league 1 any time within 5 years, but mainly I want good ticket sales and a steady team with steady results that gives the fans confidence'

So Bignot made mistakes, some understandable like snapping up alot of good young players before they got signed elsewhere because you were given free reign in the transfer market, despite it unbalancing the team. For that reason he probably made one of his biggest mistakes (Saying we're looking to the next season when it was only february and we werent that far off the playoffs) to take the pressure off that newly formed team.
Other mistakes less understandable like his love affair with gavin gunning.

Actually, thinking about it, despite the one up top, I don't think you could call it the most defensive formation we've ever seen as it isn't very compact and teams find plenty of space against us in our own half. A more standard 4-5-1 with three proper central midfielders would be properly defensive (and might be necessary in away games!) but I think the problem is that Slade thinks our current formation is going to allow some sort of free-flowing attacking football where the evidence is to the contrary!

Slade seems to be really struggling these last few years, is he past it? Just like players all managers have sell by dates
