shorty and shouty

Jeez, this site just gets better and better (or is it worse and worse?). Some people have got very short memories. Look, I was just as disappointed and angry as anyone after Tuesday night, but for people to be saying 'these managers have to be sacked' after two games is totally ludicrous, and doesn't lend them any credibility IMO. And to go one better, the same folk now propose that Alan Buckley, be reinstated even though he's not in management any more!! How did you come to that conclusion?! Is it just because Buckley is the last Manager that people can remember that was associated with success and attractive football? Are we really hankering after past glories that strongly that we have to pretend that we can just recreate it by reinstalling a retired Manager. F***ing hell, if that's how it works, can I make a plea for George Kerr?

We made the mistake of reappointing Buckley some seasons ago and it was a difficult time that tarnished the great man's reputation slightly. He was clearly out of touch with players, the team he produced weren't able to halt the perpetual decline and we had some poor players. He should've been sacked long before he was, sentiment getting in the way of the right decision.

Come on - I love Alan Buckley - he was probably the greatest we ever had, but I don't want him to be Manager again, with someone else's squad, all the budget gone and the pressure to produce a championship-winning team in half a dozen games. Wise up FFS.

Terrible thread mate. Its opinion but not really backed up with much apart from a season without promotion and a bad first 2 results.

Firstly i gaurentee your opinion was different during the screaming run of results last year before xmas (up until the York defeat) etc.
Secondly these managers have brought in more than enough quality... namely. Hearn.. enough said,  Pearson was a nobody who is now an absolute rock at the back. McKeown from from a league below and was immense last season. Artus showed some of the best skill ive ever seen to score a winner last season (cant recall the game) thomas looks very good. And so called big players that other clubs were after like Soares, Ian Miller, Thomas, Hearn, Cook, whether they have yet performed or not still chose to come here. The managers here clearly run a tight shift and this club has become far more appealing since they took over. Lets face it Woods wasn't doing any better was he.

Give them time lads, give them time.

Please think back to last season, we had a terrible start and so did some of our so called big names (Hearn) this years Cook and Pearson and then think on to Cambridge away later in the season when we were in about 8th and all ours and there fans, managers and commentators said Grimsby are by a long shot the best team to go to Cambridge all season and there football was breathtaking. Regardless of how the season ended.... that team were managed by Scott and Hurst and im confident given time the new but not so much changed team this season will be the same.

When are peoplegoing to stop mentioning Buckley, becoming manager again? Yes he was the most successful manager in modern times but why do they keep wanting to go back, football has evolved since those days and Buckley has been out of it so long now that he could well be out of touch with the game now. So forget him as a future manager and move on he was at the right place at the right time but FFS move on. Let him remain a legend in the clubs history, and remember the good times and move on. We have in my opinion very capable managers in place let them do their job. In my job we have people who say they can do a better job but when asked to deliver what they say they can do they fall way short.

Bring back Ralf Sparrow and Jim 'curly' Perkins in defence and 'Bullet' Bill Shicklegruber up front, well win the league hands down.

Bullet Bill Shicklegruber was a sweeper Boardy. He never played up front. Come on man, think.

You're right my Jorvik chum, I was thinking of Charlie 'the wasp' Shicklegruber his goalscoring, colour blind, half-brother, sorry about that.  

No-one's scored more goals for Town than Pat Glover, not even Liam Hearn. If I had to pick one of those 2 to spearhead a fashionable 4-2-3-1 it'd be the deadly Welshman every day of the week.

He certainly does was it 44 gls in one season 180 on total

Ha!  My thoughts exactly.  I'm going for 80s Glory.

Yeah right.  
We're not all so sad or deperate we feel any need to set up alternative accounts.
In fact some of us are comfortable with ourselves and have enough self-respect that we don't need to.

tbh not sure why you're saying me anyway.
Just like giving oodles of praise I'll dish out the criticism when's it's deserved (watch this space ?) and not saying I haven't got some concerns.
But it's still only 2 games and not half as downbeat as others seem to be.

  Just ridiculous. If we'd held on for 5 more minutes against Southport and 10 more against Stockport we'd have six points on the board now and people would be talking about promotion on here. Our opponents have hardly managed a shot on goal in 2 games. Obviously we're all disappointed and there is clearly plenty still to work on, but get a grip FFS. Now if we don't beat Nuneaton, then I take back everything I just wrote!
