Everyone frustrated that Lincoln have done us twice with a simple system - play fast, be physical, get every 2nd ball.
How many chances saved or kicked off the line yesterday, so the approach play was right, it was the goalscoring that was wrong !
Two first half injuries to key players as well, Toto's inevitable suspension as well - all factors that Hurst can use to say we did enough but had bad luck.
So, what does Hannah have to do to get on the field, and why is the Rotherham loan speedster not playing on one wing?
From the text commentary it seemed like there were a lot of "great saves" by the Lincoln keeper, and we were hamstrung by the loss of the more quality players such as Magnay. Don't know about the Rotherham speedster, but Hannah could do with coaching on the Offiside rule.

You will always get those who moan and complain regardless of position or form. One thing to bear in mind is that people still care deeply for our club. Frustration in some poor performances are rising to the surface again, why, because things aren't changing
1. Players are still bottling it in front of big crowds 2. A Manager who has form for not bringing in players in Jan who can take us forward. 3. The inevitable reach the play off's but fail.
When people stop moaning, this the real time for concern because that's when people stop caring!
This! You really have to be insensitive if you are not disappointed with the result yesterday, and the vast majority of posters on here care hence the moans, would you want a message board like most in this league that have little to say, or a one man show like Joules the imp God Bless Him

Great saves or poor finishing? Most shots were tame and straight at the keeper. No composure. For the record, i haven't stopped going completely and my problem is not so much with the results as the whole playing philosophy at the club under Hurst. I am a paying customer and have the right to withdraw my support as i see fit. I have been blindly following for the last ten years of mostly failure, when others i know have stopped long ago. Maybe everyone has a different point at which they get to the end of their tether. As i have said, if you are happy with the footy at BP, then that's fine and dandy by me. Highcliff pointed out the reference to Burnley and i was thinking exactly the same as i watched MOTD last night. Positive team with a positive manager can go a long way.

After yesterdays attendance i think far more supporters are staying away from message boards rather than matches
Lets see what the gate is on Thursday, If we had won against Lincoln I bet it would have been 5,500 to 6 ,000, Now I can see it being 3,500.

FWIW, I havent attended since Southport at home as I got to the point where I could no longer support Mr Hurst and his dull, negative, one dimensional football. The lack of a Plan B has been evident for a considerable amount of time and whilst I appreciate this is a results business, its patently obvious that in terms of tactics and nouse to get out of this division, nothing has changed since last season although being an average Sunday league manager Im sure Im not the best placed to moan about lack of tactical nouse (before anyone who knows who I am starts!! ) As much as it pains me to stay away, I cannot support the manager and therefore choose to spend my Saturday afternoons with the family rather than spend my hard earned money (some might argue that point ) leaving the ground more frustrated and considerably less entertained than when I arrived. Yes, twiddling my thumbs on the walk to the ground was invariably more exciting than the fare served up itself at BP. If we are to get out of this league, it will not be under Mr Hurst stewardship of that Im sure and that is why I whole heartedly advocate a change of manager - which is the same position I have advocated all season (although not overly vocally on here) However, if come April Im proved wrong, Ill be delivghted as a Grimsby Town fan and will come back on here and congratulate the team and Mr Hurst on their achievements, I just wont be there to see it as Im not a hypocrite.

It would be pointless to remove the manager just now, it's too late to affect this season because it would take too long to get a replacement unless it was an internal one.
I don't think there is any chance of Town going up as champions and it would be a massive struggle to win the play offs. Personally I am resigned to another Conference season next year. I hope not but the omens don't look good. We will perhaps know more after the next two games.
The biggest snag I can see is that we could reach the play offs, lose again, and some people will see this as success. The old chestnuts about budgets, doing as well as we can expect, who else could we get and he's a good manager getting 3 play offs in a row - these will all come back again.
We could end up with no change, plus the other argument from last year that PH should be given the close season and a dozen matches. So in December 2015 we could very easily be in exactly the same situation as we are now.
If I'm wrong, and I sincerely hope I am, then PH will deserve much credit and I'll be happy to join in with that. Realistically though..............

Not playing one dimensional hoof ball. Hurst believes playing the long ball at a lone striker is going to conquer most teams in this league. This policy has seen some success but as the season progresses we are going to come up against more teams that have sussed we have no plan B, consequently more results like today will become the norm.
I can only assume you weren't at the game. We didn't play "the long ball at a lone striker"
