Has he gone yet ?

Quoted from BIGChris

I'd agree with that but i desperately want us to win tomorrow and hope we can be brave and set our stall out from the 1st minute to take the game to them. I would like nothing more than  us show the form we did against Gateshead & Alfreton and the style of the first 45 at Halifax.

Speaking to people at Dartford those in favour of change were in the minority, not hugely so, but still a majority wanting to stick at the present time. I didnt ask many after the game!!

Quoted from Stranger in the Park

Would all the moaning morons who state that they will not be attending any more games please extend that also to not posting on here as well. Personally I'm sick of the constant negativity on here when we are supposed to be supporters - for good or bad !  GTFC is not a premiership club with cash to splash.Without JF there would be no budget so get real all you prophets of doom. Football ,no matter what league , is a lottery. A thousand different factors can affect any game and the outcome is never easy to predict. We have what we have here at Grimsby and there is no saying a change of ownership or management would change the teams fortunes- a prime example is Forrest Green who have had more cash thrown at them than Town.We have no God given right to be a "big time" club just because we might have a bigger population than some of our opponents. Just looking around the town clearly shows that the few multi-national employers show no rush to support the club financially and this just leaves a handful of small business' to keep the club afloat.One day the wheels of fortune might turn our way but until then just enjoy and support your club regardless. If you don't like what you see then simply walk away and find something else to fill your time on a Saturday afternoon but do us all a favour and stop carping on and on in multiple threads on here !

Football fans are so fickle it's unbearable. Won't come until Hurst is out??? I bet you'd be back if we ended up playing a decent side in the FA cup like last season, or managed to scramble our way back to Wembley somehow this season. Shocking lack of loyalty. Your no better than the Man Utd fans who wouldn't attend whilst Moyes was in charge last year.

The die hards will be there tomorrow night, the glories might not be.

What's the chances of the "Hurst Out" brigade being the same people as the "Groves Out", "Slade Out" "Woods Out" and "Rodger Out" movements!

Quoted from ackomariner

Think the fans are already at loggerheads chaos, definite split between fans.

As for your first part from 1 to 10 .....I'm at 10  

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

I also agree with Big C on this but like others will not be attending again whilst PH in charge even though I have season ticket. Reference fans at the Dartford game the impromptu poll does not surprise me as the majority of those fans are the real backbone of the club and will be there no matter what and for a great number their Grimsby glass will always be half full where for me it is nearly empty.

I do not go to many away games nowadays but speak to fans who do and as I have said many times I believe PH is suited to managing away fixtures where grinding out results is applauded, and rightly so on many occasions. Probelem is we 10 x more fans attending home games where the more than disappointing performances are more the norm than the rarity.

Well I agree with that BC, but I'm sure I'm not in the minority when wondering where the hell that 'form and style' went? I guess, that we lost our potency when we stopped playing the formation and players we did, namely 4-3-3 with a quick tempo and high pressing ethos, and, when we lost one striker, revealing our inexcusable lack of depth in this department as our potency seemed to evaporate with the injury to Pittman. I would really like to know why Hurst deviated from that ethos to the extent that he did - sure, we lost a promising looking striker, but he dropped Paddy, restored Disley, went 4-4-2 and abandoned his 4-3-3/4-3-1-2. We shot ourselves in the foot.

Reviving this blueprint is our's and Hurst's only hope IMO.

Quoted from BIGChris

I really think the injury to Pittman and the virtual no show from Arnold left him with no way to continue the ethos set. For me the fault for that lies totally with the manager failing to bring in sufficient attacking players. I expected, last May to see investment in forwards, understand funds were earmarked, and to a degree still are, but for whatever reason Paul has been unable to bring those signings in. Oates may have a decent career ahead of him but we need a fit n able Pittman PLUS a striker with pace, power, brains & finishing ability. I know you dont get these from Tesco but having been 'trying' since May just doesnt sit comfortably. Why?
