how much worse could they get dan? if they were proper professionals it might have a positive effect ; generally pro players don't like being made to look like idiots
I also would have thought that a pro wouldn't have to be told that we don't expect miracles. A little consistency, a lot of effort and a bucketful of heart is all that's required when you turn out in front of 4000 people who wish they had the talent and good fortune to be able to pull on that black and white shirt. It means something to us and it should mean more to them than a series of numbers on their bank statements, going through the motions and hoping the team will carry them isn't going to keep us up. Hopefully they will see poojahs post and get any sort of reaction, if it makes them more half-arsed and inept than they already are then they really shouldn't be here at all.

I thought I'd pop in and say I saw this on a Washington Redskins (American football) forum. I was astonished. I am sorry to say that though I am an American and an avid football fan, I am only versed in the larger leagues (ie the Premier League, La Liga) and have never heard of Grimsby Town. Good luck to your team as the season continues. It sound like you need it
Wow, that's gobsmacking. Well now you've heard of us go ahead and adopt us as your favorite English footy underdog and spread the word

Shame there isn't a link with it.

Who gives a fook what they think.They clearly don't care what we think.
Fine, but they're all we've got for the time being, so let's crush their confidence by focusing the whole sporting world on their inadequacies? good one.

You mean it's ok for them to show their questionable inadequacies to the regular 3-4,000 odd paying fans week after week ?

Of course not, but talk of putting this up in the dressing room and so on, think that'll really help change things? I would say 50% of our squad isn't good enough. They know that as well as we do. We can't change it, and I doubt they can. If you was shown this letter about your ability in your job, would it motivate you? It wouldn't me. And if we want the players who aren't good enough to leave, fine. But who the hell are we going to replace them with? We've tried this time and time again (Newey and barnes spring to mind, who's replacements are hardly better)

I would hope they see this is as a bit of banter with a bit of seriousness in it also
