Another striker joined on loan.

Simeon Jackson from Walsall.

We must be losing one or two tonight. This is getting silly.

Not writing off simeone jackson as a player, but can’t see how even a really great striker could change our fortunes massively due to the way we play, and im so frustrated at the way our transfer policy has changed this season

I'll be happy with this if we're getting rid of some strikers. If not it's ridiculous.

He’s scored well over 100 goals in his career and played in the Premier League, hopefully he can do us a favour and bag a few more before the end of the season.

it really is a strange one....three strikers in the transfer window....yet nothing as yet to bolster our paper thin defence or the craft or guile RS referred to as being missing from the midfield....although i think he fancies Vernam behind a striker as opposed to out and out.

Matt
Vernam
Asante
Cardwell
Vernon
Jones (based on where he has been played)
Wilkes
Jackson
Hooper

Embarrassing number of strikers.

How the board of a struggling Division Four side can let their manager have ten strikers on the books (including Akheem) and think he's a competent manager building something is beyond me..

Surely we are crying out for a quicker centre half at least as cover and a creative midfield player?

Yeah and that's about it. One injury to Collins or Clarke and we are totally stuffed, with a fight for survival in prospect. Why would the board allow this?

The fact that we have eight strikers already and can’t score, surely tells you that nothing will change upon the arrival of a ninth. If only we had some creative midfield players, maybe like Osbourne, Clements and Bolarinwa. Oh wait!

flipping ludicrous. And people complained about Bignot's recruitment of players. The guy's shot his bolt. In cloud cuckoo land. Either that or he's deliberately trying to wreck the club.

And even if they did find their way to the Fishy, they'd just shrug and think, "Oh, well, it's just a few months and I'll be getting paid."

The young defender is an interesting one. Reportedly nowhere near ready when he played for Cheltenham last year, but 12 months development can be a long time when you're that age. Probaby just a back-up player, however.

Every year follows the same pattern now.

June: "We're going to have a smaller squad of around 24 players"
January: The squad swells to 40 players
Spring: The old manager is sacked and the new one is given time to assess his squad. It takes him two weeks to even learn their names.
May: The new manager has to release half the team and still ends up with a load of players he doesn't want
August: Our "star" new signings arrive long after the rest of squad have finished their pre-season
October: Everyone realises we are excrement

Nothing if not consistent!



I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

No, they won't they are only on loan so summer they are back to their own clubs. The real people I feel for is those on contracts Slade has no faith in them whatsoever.  



NINE STRIKERS FFS they will have to start using the club shop replica shirts at this rate.

Being one choice in NINE at a bottom league outfit is absolutely stupid how is that suppose to help team bonding or the clubs finances.

I doubt they know the fishy exists mate, or even care.

Then again maybe they didn’t know Grimsby exists until 6 o’clock yesterday
