Match Thread v York

On another note I thought York ground/stadium/environment was spot on. If I was Alex H or any of the others that came from Town to York I think it would be a nice place to earn a living

Well those who were not there say don’t worry stop being negative . Sometimes you have to be there to get the full picture. The full picture yesterday was quite frankly terrifying  in almost every respect on which you gauge a football team . When Green is the only player involved in the game on your side you know you are in trouble.
On a few individual issues mentioned above my take was as follows .
On the Icelander it wasn’t that he was bullied he was so fragile the slightest touch seemed to upset him .
There was simply no discernible pattern of play either attempt to play out from the back or play long to agree or disagree with.
As a team we have got smaller look light weight across the pitch against a York side I didn’t think were particularly physical.

Tune in next week for another episode of “very normal reactions”.

It was shockingly bad you had to be there to appreciate how inept it was.
I am very worried for the season ahead.

Port Vale are a lot of people's favourite to win the league and they have made several impressive signings. Yesterday they lost 1-0 to Bath City and by all accounts were pretty poor. It's pre-season and counts for nothing apart from fitness. Whilst I don't argue we are short in several areas a little perspective is sometimes needed.

Boston Tuesday,  started with 8 of the probable 1st team, apparently played well.
Yesterday ,after 2-3 days of hard training (including  the hottest day of the year,)had only 5 first teamers starting against a better side and didnt play so well.

On that basis why has gtfc facebook n the usual gloomsters n doomsters on the fishy gone into meltdown ?

Because there's a significant portion of our support who seem to enjoy being miserable

^^100% this!

When Ryan Bennett said he was retiring Artell should have been straight down to Humberston Ave and saying I am not leaving mate until you have signed this contract, you are too good to be out the game and we need you and your experience to get this team going up.

Having trialists that are not up to the job is a waste of time and playing a left footed defender on the right side is bonkers if they only use the right foot for standing on.

Not Bothered about the result just the manner we have played  plus no threat up front it just sounds like season after season we do the same and make the same mistakes.

I hope I am wrong but another season near the bottom is too much to bear.

I also hope a striker who is fit.and ready takes pity on us and signs and assists Rosey who deserves a lot of credit for what he did last season.

I was looking forward to this season with all the games I would be able to watch but we are only 3 weeks from the start of the season and no nearer to having a strong side never mind a strong squad.

Help needed please apply Mr D Artell GRIMSBY Town FC Blundell Park.

People don’t like to consider facts, or even bother with a slight bit of “research” ie watching videos and listening to interviews.

Someone on FB was moaning about the performance and squad and the fact that we’ve not been told anything about Rose’s whereabouts so he’s definitely leaving.

If he’d have listened to or read literally any interview he’d have known he’s coming back from injury, and if he’d have watched the training video he’d have seen he’s started training. But no, he’s being hidden and definitely leaving. Artell out, Stockwood out, Pettit out. Everybody out.
