An apt thread title should read when are the new players promised by both Sladeball and Fenty coming in!


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

In his wisdom Mr Fenty decides to appoint Neil Woods instead    




In that case 'nil point' for the rest of the season

I ran the calculator was very pessimistic, couple of wins and a few draws, but we still easily survived

16     Cheltenham     46     -10     56
17     Stevenage     46     -12     53
18     Crewe     46     -15     52
19     Grimsby     46     -17     50
20     Morecambe     46     -20     47
21     Forest Green     46     -25     46
22     Yeovil     46     -20     45
23     Chesterfield     46     -30     41
24     Barnet     46     -32     32

I think we'd need to have one of the worst three months of our entire history to go down

They say that history often repeats itself, only a fool doesn't learn from that, and I'm pointing at you Fenty.

My calculations just before Christmas had very similar results to yours, Rob. 50 points is the usual comfortably safe figure but I reckon this year will be a bit lower than that. I had it as 43 securing safety but there has been an upturn in form from the lower teams since.

If this was a "normal" division with 3 relegation places we might be in more trouble, but you have to be monumentally crap this year to go down. I think we're in trouble next year for sure as season ticket sales are likely to be well down after months of fairly meaningless games. People are going to get out the habit of going between now and then. I struggle to believe Slade can even identify realistic targets, never mind persuade them to join him (he spent all summer looking for a No. 9 and ended up with Hooper). So the combination of a poor squad, a small kitty and an uninspiring manager mean we could we'll struggle next year.

In the year York went down, we would already be safe as both they and Dagenham only managed 34 points. Other seasons, 50 points hasn't been enough. The thing is, you never know what is going to happen. We will probably be safe, probably....

How would you describe what's been on offer so far, I don't think the players are completely crap it's just that they either can't play to Sladeballs instructions or don't like playing his style. I think Hopper could be a very effective striker but he has to be the laziest player we have had in many seasons of being poor.

I worry too for next season especially how this one is going and lack of support the board is giving Slade. Both of them are incapable of being successful it seems in football.
