Quite the contrary - but I’ll give you that since DA has taken charge.

At the end of the day, it’s a Forum which is where people offer an opinion; sometimes positive, sometimes negative, but very rarely does everyone agree.

As much as I want to look through the Rose tinted spectacles, I have serious reservations that we are going to improve on last season and I also feel that the disastrous playing out from the keeper will be on display from Matchday One. If come October, I am completely wrong and we aren’t way off the top half of the table, I’ll gladly say ‘I was wrong’.

Right now though, with what business we have done so far and in my humble opinion, I think we’ll be miles off it.  That’s just my opinion, different to yours.

As it is a forum, I’d be happy to understand your perspective and why you think I am so wrong?


I think you are wrong because the season hasn't even started and you are preaching doom and gloom already!  Also, most of the other posters on here are patient and happy to wait and see what happens after we have played a few games in the actual season.

According to on-line data (fifa24 etc.scores) this is our best 11 plus reserves:

Best 11:

Eastwood:  60.  Potentially:  63.

Warren:  62.  Pot:  65.
Tharme:  62.  Pot:  69.  (Injured)
McJanet:  63.  Pot:  65.
Hume:  62.  Pot:  65.

Thompson:  63.  Pot:  63.   (Injured)
Green:  61.  Pot:  62.
McEachran:  62.  Pot:  66.

Pyke:  59.  Pot:  61.     (Injured)
Rose:  63.  Pot:  63.     (Injured)
Vernam: 61.  Pot:  61.     (Injured)

Reserves:

Wright:  59.  Pot:  64.
Cass:  61.  Pot:  66.
Rodger:  62.  Pot:  63.        
Carson:  58.  Pot:  69.
Ainley:  60.  Pot:  62.
Kauri:  55.  Pot:  67.
Wilson:  58.  Pot.  59.
Gardner  53.  Pot:  71.
Dadi:  55.  Pot:  65.

Some of the younger players with low scores have room for improvement: Gardner, Dadi, wright etc.

The first 11 does not look too bad but up front and in mid-field there is not much back up for those injured and young ineperienced players. We desperately need more experienced back up players.

Yeah but there is data and there is 'data'. That listing is definitely 'data'.

Not preaching - that would suggest I’m influencing others opinion, which is not the purpose of my post. I’m simply offering up my concerns and observations (from my very limited knowledge of supporting this club for the last 45 years).

Unfortunately your suggestion of me waiting until the season starts doesn’t change my mindset and offers no reasoning to inform my own opinion.

If you believe that what we currently have will be any stronger than the last few seasons, that’s absolutely fine and your prerogative. I can only see that the current incumbents, unless significantly reinforced, will struggle based on last seasons performances and their inconsistency due to regular injuries.

It’s your opinion that you are perfectly entitled to. However, the lack of numbers and quality for the front six positions has to be concerning given our recent history.

I remind you also that DA is tasked with creating a playing style to play ‘the Grimsby way’.

You cannot invoke the thoughts of the majority of posters,I certainly not happy with our recruitment.Whilst I do not always agree with Yoda, he has a right to his opinion without being subject to personal abuse.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

It feels to me like everybody is exhausting themselves with all of the speculation and this has got a bit past a bit of fun

The bottom line is see where we sit after 10 games. Everything else is just wasted energy.
Enjoy the summer before the real stress starts! We all know it is likely to be a rollercoaster, I find it easier not to speculate.

Looks like Vernham is on the fringe of returning, but anyone got info about when other four injured will be back playing?
