I don't like it, i love it 😍

Probably going to have to wait a good month or so for Osborne to be fully fit and ready for first team selection.

Would like to see a discussion on here about how we see Grimsby Town in the next 5 years via a 5 year time line. My phone isn't that user friendly and unfortunately cannot find a way of starting a new thread. How very embarrassing this sounds 😞

Quoted from moosey_club


Jose has a solid base as a foundation of his team but also has players that can win games regularly....we have a base.....but not the match winners.....that is the BIG difference.

They have won 7 and failed to win 3
We have won 6 and failed to win 10

All relevant to the league you play in of course, not losing games (which seems to be Slades mantra post match nowadays) and unbeaten runs can become a dead weight around your shoulders...the longer we go unbeaten the more scared of losing we become and before you know it you stop attacking, you dont try the adventurous move to win a game...you play it safe...Cardwell,Matt,Hooper, Bolarinwa, DJ all become small part players as they maybe cant be trusted to defend !!
All the while every 2/3 weeks goes by and we fail to make ground on those above us.

Three 0-0's and can we really say in any of them we have gone looking for the win in the last 20 mins ? tried something to break the deadlock ? I cant think of a positive impact substitution we have made in the last 3 home games.  




WRONG.................................. Jose has millions of pounds at his disposal  THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE.

Even down here to get quality you need dosh but I agree Slade seems to be playing it safe this season anyway. I think the last impact sub he made was Vernon when he came on and scored a few weeks back. At least he as given him a decent run since.

But Koeman had millions at his disposal. And Accrington do not.
Slade, for me, has had a more than decent budget to work with. His old reliable footballing ways are a little less relevant now, and he just appears to be another middling manager slugging it out for mid-table placing in League 2. He's another one to steady the ship, so terrified are we as a club of making the wrong step and facing the un-imagineable again.

Cunnington and Cockerel was none league players when we signed them , why is it difficult to find a midfielder that can attack ?
has the nations footballing talent got that bad ?

Cockers was but we signed Cunnington from Wrexham (a league team at the time).

I’m not sure Jones could play up front on his own. Despite his size and strength his hold up and link aren’t great and he isn’t quick enough or good enough in the air to play that role, other than that I like it though.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

What part of 433 involves playing up on your own? Playing that formation involves pace and movement and he's a damn sight quicker than any of the other options and a damn sight better too.

Good point - can I add Jake Livermore to reinforce your point?

And 20 odd years ago there was a certain Carlton Palmer, so has the average England player improved?
