Some aren’t good enough, some at least try, but the one thing that seems evident with all of them is that they are not enjoying playing football. We are losing two lads with potential, another in Clements won’t be played. Enjoying your job means you are prepared to go a little further, try a little harder and this lot are seemingly prevented from doing so by a buffoon of a manager..
Fenty is culpable in his recruitment of course but Slade is like a flipping tarantula sucking the fun out of everything.
Get him gone.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe someone else can't get more out of these players than the current management team. We've shown on occasions this season we have got what it takes and the defence has been strong most of the season. The squad is too big which is always going to lead to bad morale, but the present malaise seems more serious than just a few dispirited players.

I watched the warm-up quite closely today. Some were very disinterested.

Agree and I think it's been like that for a bit despite a decent run of games in early December.

This squad is not good but it's functional, mid table at best. Today's performance was relegation standard what does that tell you?

I was watching our subs doing their half time exercises, with someone in the middle of the circle prompting them and must say that he was a lot more enthusiastic than they were in their movements.

Probably wondering what the hell they have to do to get in the starting 11.

He does that every game, it’s usually the most entertaining part of the day.

Were they playing 'what's the time Mr Wolf?' again?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The lad you're talking about is the only thing or person that looks like they take it serious and want to be their. His enthusiasm is amazing. I enjoy watching him pre match putting the players through their way up and just the way he's doing it, shows real passion.
