Just out of interest do you have this particularly scintillating comment on a template that you can just slot into any thread that is going on?

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..............
good post agree with all of that and id love hurst to get us up BUT i very much doubt it, remember it took luton a few goes to get it right

I'd be amazed if Town don't go up this year if Paul Hurst is still in charge pre 2015/16 season.

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.

I'm surprised Dave. Never had you down as a fair-weather fan! Your team is for life, you support them through thick and thin. Admittedly is been very bloody thin for far too long now but we've seen the good times in the past and if you were to just pick a team who were doing well at the time you'd be changing your team every other week.

Very simplisitc view Les but I respect you and you are fully entitled to your opinion, so Ill not engage in an argument But FWIW, GTFC are and will always be my club regardless of whether I choose to attend the game or not, despite some peoples definition of a supporter meaning you continue to blindly donate cash on a matchday regardless.

At 1-0 the place was like a morgue yes. There were a number of a chances when people around me where saying we'd be getting irate if we were at 0-0 and they were getting those chances. Most teams at 1-0 will either press for another one or try and hold the fort until half/full-time - I'm unsure what the tactic was or whether there was one in the final fifteen minutes of the first half, we didn't threaten the Lincoln goal and we weren't really getting men back and shutting Lincoln out.

Don't know how anyone can disagree with this assessment but maybe that's because it was just how I saw it too It was almost as if we'd settled for it being 1-0 and that was how it was going to be, no matter what, which as we know to our cost, wasn't the case I said at the time that we needed to up it and try to see them off first half but we don't seem to have that in our make up
