Probably the best response to the question from TRRFC. I agree with you. I don't think boredom covers it - I wasn't bored on Tuesday. I was frustrated. Hurst frustrates me immensely. I think it's about our ethos and set up. Our lack of ambition and guts. Big ideas. Swagger etc. It's not there.
Notice Hurst's lack of direction, vocal input etc from the touchline. The club need to look like they know what they're doing and believe they can do it, and maybe the fans would follow suit.

We're not energetic and urgent enough. We seem to hedge our bets, think ourselves into tight spots, set too low standards. This is about Hurst and the general lack of ambition and self confidence about those around the club for me. It's too conservative and defensive, with too much left to chance. With the players we've got we should be destroying teams at BP. We should have set our stall out as title chasers at the start of the season and stuck to it. We're as big and as competent as any other team in this division, but the club don't show it. They don't buy into it. They don't project it. We seem to be just trying to keep it tight and hope for the best. I think people feel that and act accordingly. They're nervous and edgy and expect disappointment, because these are the signals they get.

Hurst out, promotion isn't good enough for Grimsby Town fans. Our history and size of the club automatically means that we should be demolishing every team in this league and we shouldn't need to earn the right to play league football.

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more!

Look, if your not able to take part in a reasoned, honest and informed discussion GF, then keep out out of it. Just posting facetious, churlish stuff and dishing out red crosses isn't really contributing much. You're missing the points.


Quite. We have to expect to be in the play offs and I can't see us being good enough to win our home leg.

True enough. But if you take away those two whopping wins in early season the comparison isn't quite so good is it?

So, 1-0 wins aren't good enough, but if you score a lot of goals, they don't count?

1-0 wins aren't good enough for Town. They're fine for Bristol Rovers.

Absolutely. Impossible to see us winning at home against someone like Barnet, Forest Green or Halifax. If we only make the play offs we should probably withdraw from them.
