We have had 5 league games so far and picked up 5 points,
We had a really bad opening day which I honestly think was just one of them days against an unbeaten Forest Green so far this season. Followed by a comfortable win against what looks to be a struggling team so far this season in Macclesfield, 2 good draws against 2 promotion favourites (Lincoln also unbeaten so far in the league) arguably the better team over both 90 mins and today a very disappointing loss after two good performances.
In between it all a loss to a league 1 club in the cup.
What does everyone make of our performances so far and what position would you expect us to achieve this season by going on form so far and how we have played,
Can you realistically see this team achieving the play offs or higher?
Will this team strong enough when everyone is fit?
Who’s impressed you personally so far and who hasn’t?

Mid table. Like I said before the season started. And I’d be very happy with that. Providing we get Scunny in the FA Cup... 😘

Realistically, we are a club that has an ambition of staying where we are. We are a club that offers hope by way of a bright young manager and a small but improved squad and a coaching team that appears determined to bring us somewhere near to the level of our opponents. However, we are encumbered by our geographical position and our inability to move from our almost derelict stadium & inept training facilities. Neither our board or the company engaged in 'developing' our stadium appear willing to inform the paying public about any progress. Indeed, nothing has emanated from the boardroom since the solicitor bloke said we would be in the Championship within 5 years. For some GTFC fans this is progress. Our directors are resisting the temptation to make flowery promises that we will be in a new stadium in 'three to four years' like they did in March 2017. https://www.humberbusiness.com/news/homes-planned-for-grimsby-town-stadium/story-4844-detail/story

Too early to tell. We've played 3 top 5 teams, one big bucks* team and one bottom two team who we beat. * and I don't mean MK Dons

Not going to achieve any success without pace moving forward ...and we dont have any realistically.
McKeown shows no sign of developing as a keeper....still rooted to his line when the ball is crossed in...brilliant shot stopper but back fours love a confident, commanding keeper and he just isnt it, when that ball is swung across our six yard line we look vulnerable.
Squad is too thin currently...no real strength in depth.
Going to be a long haul again this year i feel.

I'm sorry to say but I have little confidence in this current team getting much out of a game if we concede the first goal, certainly not a win at the moment.

We look very light on the goal scoring front so i would think a finish around 18th to 20th.
Our defence does not let many in though so a lot of draws i think.
Let’s hope Macclesfield and Morecombe are rootedto the bottom all season. I cannot see Notts County staying there.

I've seen enough in this squad to believe mid table would be where we are at the moment but I'm still not sure MJ really knows his best starting 11...until we have Vernham, Cook and Thomas playing in a 4-3-3 formation, which will give us the much needed pace up front, I, like most, cannot see us scoring many goals from open play against some of the more fancied teams in the league. Still early days in what is MJs first season in the EFL so, I would honestly give it til xmas to see how the land lies and wether this squad can contribute to anything more than a mediocre season over all...
