Just Back...on the bus.

Quoted from HerveJosse

If I was out there you wouldn’t need to give me 4 or 5 full games before concluding I couldn’t do it.

Exactly.

Liverpool have just lost at home to Leeds.

Beaten by the two bottom sides in a week.

Just saying...

Maybe Hursty would have got more out of Darwin Nunes?

Did win 3-0 away to Ajax in between though.

Yes but unless I’m missing something you’re not a professional footballer are you?

Nobody on this board knows the effort PH did or didn’t put in to get a decent striker. Everyone on this board recognised how hard working he is so we’d have to assume he did his best?

The owners have backed him on loads of stuff both in terms of squad numbers, support staff improved facilities etc.., so you would assume he would have had funds to a reasonable level especially as JS said all season ticket revenues go to the playing budget.

Why can’t people accept that bigger clubs near big cities who have been in the football league longer than us or a couple who haven’t but have very wealthy or stupid owners pay better wages.

Also maybe players didn’t want to come to a place like Grimsby after they’d just been promoted and nobody had a clue how the side was going to get on.

We just have to accept that we are tte only people who believe in the “Mighty Mariners” away from us most people think we’re Grimsby and “the place stinks of fish”.

Plus mud sticks, ask Martin Gritton and numerous other players what working for GTFC has been like in recent years, he’ll talk you through his experience with the then owners when he signed for the club.

Wasn't at the game today however been to most games this season. I thought we may slip up once out of these 2 away games. Really dissapointed after last week's Bradford performance we've lost them both. My 13 year old son is always saying why on earth we never kept at least one of mani or Tristan. Me personally would welcome them both back with open arms there streets ahead of some of our forwards at the minute. I can only think Hurst must of missed out on some good targets to release them both.

Squad numbers are one thing but quality shouldn’t be sacrificed, should it? There’s a number of squad players that PH doesn’t trust to start including, it appears, Alex Hunt. Add him to Wearne, Orsi, Maguire Drew and at least two of the loan strikers, then there’s a lot of wages warming the bench.

You can only start 11 can't you? And he's just signed Alex Hunt on a 3 year contract after a lengthy pursuit. Was excrement and disappointing today but come on....

Correct on your first para but I have been watching football at this level for over 50 years and if those two make it as pro footballers at this level or above I will happily eat my hat.
Both signings arrived in slightly odd circumstances . Simmonds was signed late on transfer deadline day along with others after another deal apparently fell through. I do wonder how much due diligence went into that one.
Pepple we seem to have taken as part of the Mcatee loan back arrangements presumambly because as Luton’s ninth choice striker there wasn’t going to be enough room on the training ground for him at Luton.

He hasn’t just signed him, has he? He’s the most talented midfielder on the books and he isn’t getting game time. We know he will be on decent money, hence the lengthy pursuit, surely there were some strikers available on similar deals? Maybe Waters at Barrow, Langstaff at Notts County?
