On the GET web site,

“It helped that there was a little bit of a negative atmosphere around the place, and we talked about that before the game”.

Says it all really, our current state gives visitors a boost.

That's how it is. Every team knows they can come here and batter us this season. Not just the fans buy the players have low morale too. Nobody feels excited about a game or has any thought that we could win.

That to me signals the death throws for the current regime.

This suggests managers briefing that if they can hold us for long enough or get the noses in front that they can break us mentally and the crowd will turn.

Hardly a suggestion really is it Swansea Mariner…more a statement of fact

I could be wrong but the only time we’ve gone in front after falling behind was the Swindon match

Once the opposition take the lead generally that’s it …game over

Yeah you're right, thing is without change there is no quick fix for this. A new manager would gain time space and leway that Slade will never be afforded now.

Forget negativity most other managers are aware we are very poor in lots of areas and set up accordingly, god help us if Barnet get a run going

FAVOURITE FOOTBALLING MOMENT

Nothing will top Nathan Arnold making it 3-1 for Grimsby in the 2016 National League play-off against Forest Green at Wembley in stoppage time. If you can guarantee going up like that, I’d take that over winning the league. If you could bottle that feeling and sell it, you’d be a millionaire.

Out of interest how did the crowd react to Amond - did he get a round of applause or cheers? Good reception like Arnold?

Think we are missing the point when was the last time there wasn't a negative atmosphere around the place? I think our fans have become synonymous with the word negativity, even Hurst (think it was him) remarked he had trouble getting players here because of the fans negativity, even during the promotion season the place felt toxic at times.

Its easy to say it's the same at all grounds but I'm not sure I went to a couple of Tranmere home games last year and they are definitely a team that's a lot worse than we ever was whilst down there, anyway I watched two defeats but there was no way near the same venom from their fans.

I blame Buckley! we was absolutely spoiled under his management well his first two spells anyway, the football was absolutely amazing at times and a great time to be a fan, I know you shouldn't look back but it's so hard to sit there and watch the excrement we gets served up today, at the same time remembering just how good the football used to be.

But then thinking back to them great days I remember Buckley complaining about the fans and all the negativity, maybe it is just a Grimsby thing!

I remember a lot of negativity even in the Buckley days. I think it's part of the Grimbarian mentality, some people are just born to moan and grumble!
