My experience of watching town only goes back to the mid 90's but in those years I can't think of a time we've looked worse. The most passionless,spineless waste of space we've ever had the misfortune of paying to play for us. Even before that time I doubt we had a worse team surely?

The first year conference team was dire except for Connell. I think the lot who took us out of the league tge first time were more lazy and spineless but probably more talented.

Well, I've been watching Town since the late 50,s and I can definitely say it's the worst group of players ever to pull on a town shirt. And I've seen some tripe during that time believe me.

In terms of spirit yes, in terms of leadership on the field yes I believe this is a group of players who in the main don’t give a sh1t about GTFC.

Yeah, was about to post something similar. I don't think League 2 is as strong now either, as it was in 2010. Most teams are mediocre, yet they are brushing us aside with ease.

Quite simply yes.

Bunch of babies who clearly are not only excrement but don't have any pride or passion running through them.

15 games without a win and without any fight in em.

Some might think I'm bring harsh but this bunch don't have anything about them .

Yes


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

I'm just hoping that MJ doesn't like playing with slow centre halves, who between them seem culpable for most of the goals we concede. They're not even old wise heads whose superb positioning makes up for a lack of pace. Both of them stepping up way beyond Mills trying to play offside today leaving their forward in line with our right back, they didn't even look along the line at all..

I'd prefer seeing Mills and Suliman as the pairing if Davies is fit and RHJ the other full back. Something radical has to happen in selecting the back four, I honestly think NC and DC are shot to pieces in mind and body, MJ may be better off getting the other four well drilled this week..

I'm also hoping that he sees that there isn't deft touch or a goal in Matt, Vernon and Hooper and goes with a front three of DJ, Vernam, Dembrele full of pace and creativity.. at least until Wilks and Jackson are fit..

Whichever central midfield three picked (I haven't got a preference out of a poor bunch, maybe Rose, Clifton and A N Other, to just win their battles, relax on the ball and keep it simple.

We really haven't got an embarrassment of riches for MJ to work with have we? I don't envy him..

If he can manage this lot to safety this season it will be a massive achievement to put on his CV..

Minus 23 goals at the start of March?? Yes, worst team ever, built by the worst manager ever, brought in by the worst non-chairman ever.
