Yep. Heard it all before and seen it all before. Tonight was utterly predictable.

You say that, but when? From what I know about his career he's been at two teams that were good for their league, and led them to high positions in those leagues, then he's come here which should be a similiar scenario, but theres more pressure, and you could argue looking at the tail end of last season and then now, that maybe the pressure is a bit too much. Everyones got to learn, but tonights result has got to be the tipping point, and now he can't just put another team out and hope for a better performance and a bit of luck, I think he's got to try something different, doesn't have to be drastic, but theres flaws in our system in struggling to break down opposition and being hit on the break so i'd like to see some pro-activeness from the manager and a willingness to change things.


Obviously he's going to have to make some changes due to the injuries we've got.  We could have done without them.

Yes, he's been under pressure before .... here!  Things haven't always been a bed of roses during his time managing this club.  People have short memories, but there were some dodgy results and angry reactions, only Scott was there in the past to shoulder some of the blame and abuse (and give it back when he saw fit).

Our record against Southport in the conference make grim reading.

P8 W1 L2 D5  Never more than one goal in it, and never put more than 2 past them.

The other worry is that earlier in the season, if we went in front we didn't lose, and more often than not, we won.

Town losing 2-1 after being 2-1 up! Nice one J.T! Lol! Oh, he's just added Brodie booked for a stamp on Brodie!


I hate listening to Tondeur commentating,he sounds so excited when the opposition are on the attack and when we are in their box you would think we were still in our own half,he shows no passion for our team. We could do with someone like Scott Dalton from Radio Lincolnshire,He commentates all the Boston United Matches and he's excellent at his job.

[quote=284]So people still can't actually give an answer to the question 'who do replace the manager with'...

If we dont beat Salisbury, the only reason Hurst will still be in a job is because we cant afford to sack him.
Plenty of managers to replace him with, he's hardly setting the world alight.

That said, I think we will beat Salisbury and then go on and make the play offs! After all, we all want the manager to stay.



Who are these "plenty of managers to replace him with"?

To be fair, this is the first game we've lost after taking the lead. The only other game we've dropped points after being in front in was Gateshead.

Then again, it's difficult to be in front if you concede early and hardly ever score more than 1 goal

I think the problem is, that tonduer, an experienced town fan, is in the habit of being terrified when the opposition have the ball, and finding it hard to beleive anything will happen when we're on the attack

Like a broken record, Hurst says we should have got something from the game and seems to take no blame for the awful result; only suggesting we should be 'better', that we don't have much luck and the goals we conceded were down to poor defending. He does concede he'll have to look at loan signings, but the way he said it sounded like he doesn't have any targets in mind, which isn't very reassuring - http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/article/reaction-from-southport-1383171.aspx

It's hardly surprising John Tondeur isn't the most optimistic commentator given he's spent the last 10 years or so watching Town fall down the divisions while messing things up every time things start to look slightly promising again.

For the record I think he's an excellent broadcaster and we're lucky to have him. You only have to look back to the dark days of Fenty's fall out with Humberside leaving us with Compass FM's amateurish commentary team for a whole season to see that.
