Come on you pies!

Chesterfield go 1 up at home to Notts County    

felicitations sake. Chesterfield one up - good corner in and it hit the lad on the chest and went in.

Shows what you can do with a good delivery.

Chesterfield looking good too  

Just to cheer everyone up Chesterfield this afternoon, Barnet last evening and PV a week or two ago all look far better than us at the moment

County don’t look overly bothered about trying at the minute  

Quoted from Cloudy

Just to cheer everyone up Chesterfield this afternoon, Barnet last evening and PV a week or two ago all look far better than us at the moment

And to cheer everyone up even more........we could be in the bottom 2 by Friday teatime at this rate    

flipping great

Quoted from lee65

County don’t look overly bothered about trying at the minute  

Agree they have been woeful for the first 35 mins

Based on what we are seeing on TV, can't see us beating Chesterfield.
They have better players with pace and skill.
Barnet did not look much apart from Akinde and their fouling. Might Get a draw with them.
We must beat Stevenage, which might release some pressure.

Quoted from Abdul19

Well tbf we almost went 1-0 up early on from a corner yesterday, only for Mills' header to hit Wilks on the line.

2-0  

Down we go 2-0 now they'll beat us too

Notts County can intercourse off.

Relegation is now inevitable.

I hope you are proud John, and his happy clappers.

Off for a pint of bleach. Anyone want to join me?

2-0

The only consolation I can see is that we have Notts coming to our place and they look absolutely useless (though when we get to play them they probably won’t be anywhere near as poor)

Quoted from Davec

Relegation is now inevitable.

I hope you are proud John, and his happy clappers.

I don't think Fenty will be pleased or proud in fact he will be drunk off - shame the players won't be.

Port Vale are at home to Chesterfield on Friday......a draw would probably be a good result for us.

I really did have a horrible feeling Chesterfield would win this one.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

2-0

The only consolation I can see is that we have Notts coming to our place and they look absolutely useless (though when we get to play them they probably won’t be)

Chesterfield are making them look useless, we'll make them look like world beaters.

Notts look like they have been bribed to throw the game. Total lack of commitment & interest. Top 3 ? You're having a laugh

I pointed out on another thread that Chesterfield have been decimated by injuries since Christmas, their better players are starting to return, and of all the sides down the bottom, they look the most likely to avoid the drop...as mentioned before we desperately need to win the Barnet and Chesterfield games, and need something against Stevenage.

Worse than 50/50 for us if chesterfield win imho

Until now I thought we'd stay up. Not now. We have to beat Stevenage. But I just can't see us doing it.

That will give Chesterfield the momentum and belief they need to beat the drop.

We need a win......and quick.......Friday at BP could get ugly if we lose convincingly.

It's patently clear that we are by far the worst team in the league. The only slight glimmer we have is that the bottom two don't have enough to catch us. It's clear that Chesterfield do. The thing with us is that when we are bad, we are truly awful and no amount of changing the players or the manager changes anything. When we get on one of these non winning runs we are so adept at, there is no changing it. It's clear that there is a deep and long lasting negative cloud hanging over the club that never goes away.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Well tbf we almost went 1-0 up early on from a corner yesterday, only for Mills' header to hit Wilks on the line.

That's a good point, aye. So we're not due another one until about November now.

Notts county making it look as though it’s them batting for relegation and Chesterfield chasing promotion.

Sorry ginny....didn't understand that bit  

We’re done for. The only realistic options we have of staying up are illegal according to the rules of the competition or the laws of the land or are simply unethical.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Sorry ginny....didn't understand that bit  

Our only hope is Chesterfield and Barnet carry on being crap, but they are clearly better than us. May be too late for Barnet, but not for Chesterfield clearly.

Quoted from GrimRob

Worse than 50/50 for us if chesterfield win imho

what like...60/40  

Quoted from ginnywings

Our only hope is Chesterfield and Barnet carry on being crap, but they are clearly better than us. May be too late for Barnet, but not for Chesterfield clearly.

Cheers  

I think we may well go odds on and second favourites for relegation with the bookies after this one. We were 40/1 a couple of months ago.

To all those saying chesterfield and Barnet are worse than us, on the evidence of the games this weekend (so far in Chesterfield case) that is manifestly untrue. Barnet are crap like us but have Akinde who at least looks lively up front, way better than any of our strikers. Also sweeney in the middle looked bette than anything we have to offer to me. Those 2 players make them a stiffer proposition than us. Chesterfield look like they would absolutely destroy us at the minute, far superior. I just hope their bad 2nd half form comes into play. Undobtedly we are by far the worst team in the league now, and being relegated seems seems a near certainty, finishing bottom seems probable.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Yep, it's looking more and more of a terminal decline. They just have that look about them. Wouldn't be surprised if we go the rest of the season without a win.

Quoted from Cloudy

Notts look like they have been bribed to throw the game. Total lack of commitment & interest. Top 3 ? You're having a laugh

In football, every now and then, the team that isn’t expected to win, wins. That’s the beauty of it.

The problem for us, is that we are an exception to the rule. We can’t even look like pulling off the odd ‘shock’ result (if you can call it that, when you’re in the same league.)

Remember when we used to say that in league 2 anyone can beat anyone on their day? Well, we don’t have them days anymore.

We’re copulated.

This

Some potentially interesting trips for us next seasonhave you seen conference north n south tables?.am practically salivating at the prospect of trips to the giants of football that are brackley,Blyth Spartans, truro,,hampton n Richmond or Havant n waterlooville

We can't blame Jolley for this mess but I hope he can keep us up.......National League again  

We have to win the next three home games now. Chesterfield may well be above us when they visit BP.

Barnet are down and have been most of the season.
It’s now between us and Chesterfield.

This is the third time Fenty has made the same mistakes.
First time he got away with it because of the Luton shenanigans.
Second time You would have thought that would have given him a warning but no we walked straight into relegation.
Third time he’s learnt intercourse all from the first two.
What an absolute idiot of a man.

Let's just hope Notts were just out of it today and Chesterfield continue to lose.. Are only hope

The cloud has a name.

I'd add FGR and Port Vale to that list still.

What's even more depressing is that both Tranmere and Eastleigh were infinitely better than us yesterday. This team would struggle in the conference let alone staying in league 2.
Someone said recently we could go the rest of the season without winning and that prospect is looking very realistic.
Depressed of Bucks

At least last time we strung a few results together and had a bit of fight. This is just shite, week in week out. We've not kept a clean sheet for 17 matches and we've conceded EIGHTEEN in our last 6 away games. We HAVE to somehow scrape a win on Friday.

Chesterfield have a habit of conceding late on, so maybe Notts can still get something out of the game?

Or am I just deluding myself........as usual.

Quoted from promotion plaice

I'd add FGR and Port Vale to that list still.

Us and Chesterfield and that’s what it boils down to now mate

Afraid Chesterfield are the better team and on a his showing will win at BP, as Notts County can't have another off day when they come they'll win also, it's not looking good, the only thing to look forward to this summer will be Fenty's bar-b- que,

No excrement Sherlock!

Quoted from Ipswin

Granted Chesterfield are well up for this but Notts do not look like a team at the top end of the table

Poor marking from the corner allowed the first to go in and they were a shambles at the back for the second.

They’ve more or less gifted the game to Chesterfield today

Must say for what's at state for both clubs the fans are very quiet.

This game just shows how poor this league is and therefore shows how terrible we are that we can't win a game in it for 3 months. The only team i've seen that looked really good was Accrington, which shows it's not about budgets, it's about planning and know how- two things we don't possess and haven't for some time.

We're going to finish bottom. The two teams below us have easier run-ins and we have no form.

Get in, glimmer of hope

Come on!

Quoted from GrimRob

We're going to finish bottom. The two teams below us have easier run-ins and we have no form.

You told us several weeks ago that we'd be safe.

Quoted from Abdul19

Get in, glimmer of hope

That's just the football gods, teasing us a little more. They hate us.  

9 added mins

9 minutes added on

right hands up, be honest, whos bribed the ref?

We’re finished guys. I just cant see any way out of this

Penalty to Chesterfield, game over

Penalty

3-1

On my oh my

Very poor again from County

Chesterfield have been really good today, particularly after they conceded  

Relegation a near certainty now barring an extraordinary upturn in our own performance levels. Depressing day.

We have got to win all our 4 home games now,

A big ask seeing we have only won 4 all season.

Just excrement still not over tho if we can win..

Shaun Pearson scored the only goal of the game yesterday making 5 goals from a centre half. Maybe we could sign him as a striker instead of the shower of shite we have.

We are done.... game over....   750 season tickets next season if we're lucky...   well done management ( I  do not include MJ )... the bells are tolling for the end of GTFC...  I can't be arsed any more....  thanks must go to those in positions of power at GTFC.... what a crock of sh1t....

Game, set and the match.

Don't worry, we will get 20 more points. JF said so and he is never wrong. 1 down, just 19 to go.

Quoted from golfer

Another reminder of what a complete bunch of gormless idiots have been running this club.
Our decline is entirely self inflicted.

Quoted from GrimRob

We're going to finish bottom. The two teams below us have easier run-ins and we have no form.

You have seen the light at last have you Rob?

According to you there was no chance of us going down because the bookies said so.

It has been obvious to a blind man and his dog for weeks that we were going down. No midfield, no strikers and conceding goals by the hat full.

Add to that x many games without a win, no new manager bounce and fed up fans and there is no way we can arrest the slide.

Fenty wants running out of town for letting this happen - an arrogant and egotistical man who has on his own brought a great club to its knees.

I genuinely think the club will fold. I'm not going next year if Fenty is still involved, I've had enough of him. I could almost put up with incompetence but it's the contempt he has for us, the people who have funded this club far more collectively than he is in the last 16 years, which means he can fuck off.

He won't be getting any more of my money either. He's a cheapskate who promises the earth and never delivers. Hurst repeated last night that he is now working with honest people pulling in the same direction.

Same here, JF won't be getting any more of my money........you reap what you sow.

I think we are down now, and this afternoon feels similar to that day at Burton for me.

5 points in the last 18 games equates to 2 points in the remaining 7 to play. 39 points won't keep us up, we need another 10 points - which would have to be at least 3 wins. There's not even a faint glimmer of hope in this lot - the fact Barnet, who have been dead and buried for months, have got 3x as many points as us in the last 100 days tells us enough.

Time for Fenty to show some anger and some fight, terminate a few contracts. It won't achieve anything financially, with the wage-bill, but he may as well limit the impact on the gate receipts if we had a leader that didn't take no excrement and said enough is enough.

If we miraculously stay up - and he spouts the same old rhetoric about a "play-off/promotion push next season" then I shan't be bothering next season as he's clearly learnt nothing. Even if we stay up, there needs to be fireworks in that boardroom this summer - you don't serve a six year prison sentence to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Some clubs would give their left arm for the support we have. Dare I say Mr Fenty, you are "spoilt"

Sadly I feel the Chesterfield result  will send us down, other teams around us are rallying and showing a bit of fight whilst we seem incapable of even scoring, let alone winning.
The fact that this will mean it has happened twice in 8 years is an absolute disgrace and the fault is entirely Fenty's, his refusal to remove his hopeless mate Slade and equally culpable Wilkinson (who unbelievably is still at the club) until after the transfer window is beyond forgiveable and Fenty should hang his head in shame ( although his  over inflated ego won't allow that)
Just go Fenty and don't darken the doors of GTFC again.

There is nothing that Fenty can do other than writing off his loans and stepping away from the club.

IF that were to happen I would buy my season ticket like I have for over 20 years BUT I don't expect it too and as it stands I feel like many others. I'm finished with GTFC not because we are shite but because of John Fenty

Quoted from Ipswin

Chesterfield are making them look useless, we'll make them look like world beaters.

You really do talk sh1te.  I hope you are eating your words by the end of the season.

Football is a results game. At least for managers. So why not for owners?

Does Fenty have what it takes to run a successful league club? We let's look at the last four league seasons and see what the results tell us.

2008-09. 22nd place, 41 points. Relegation avoided only because Luton had a 30 point deduction. On the field of play we were the second worse team in England.
2009-10. Relegated.44 points. Second worse team in England.
2016-17. Finished 14th.
2017-18  Looking like relegation again.

During these four seasons we have had 7 managers!

Draw your own conclusions.

Just go Fenty and don't darken the doors of GTFC again.

It's already happened twice. This will be the third. We got away with the first one. Also, the worst winless runs in our history have all been in recent times.

Wow! When you write it down, it's staggering.

Quoted from Cloudy

There is nothing that Fenty can do other than writing off his loans and stepping away from the club.

IF that were to happen I would buy my season ticket like I have for over 20 years BUT I don't expect it too and as it stands I feel like many others. I'm finished with GTFC not because we are shite but because of John Fenty

This in spades. I don't mind us being shite, we've been shite through most of the years I've supported Town cause I started going in 1999. I would support Town in whatever division they're in. But Fenty clearly believes he's bigger than the club, he's such an egotistical wanker that he refuses to give up his stranglehold on the club to the detriment of everyone else. If he had any humility at all he'd accept that the multitude of horrendous errors he's made and the fact he has failed to learn from past mistakes means he should write off at least a significant percentage of his loans. But he won't because he's a narcissist with a God complex. I'll return to BP when we're Grimsby Town FC again, not John Fenty FC.

Afraid I'll have to add my name to the list of people who won't go again if we go down unless Fenty leaves the club. I'm at an age where I've got other priorities and can't justify wasting time, money and emotions on a club that is only set up to suit one person's agenda.

Well out of business we go

Well judging by that, we've got no chance. I don't think we've not played as well as that all season, nevermind during this run. They obviously don't do it often but they are 100% more likely to stay up than we are.

We were 11/2 to be relegated 2 weeks ago, it's now 7/4 and I think even that is a generous price ( although it would give no pleasure in collecting)

Still all to play for. It was inevitable that one of the teams below us would win. This will go right down to the wire.

Fenty needs to commit to writing his loans off and leaving. It’s clearly in the best interests of the club.  

Quoted from ginnywings

He won't be getting any more of my money either. He's a cheapskate who promises the earth and never delivers. Hurst repeated last night that he is now working with honest people pulling in the same direction.

If we start winning a few and we are in the top 6 or 7 by Christmas and in with a chance of getting back into the league you and all the other 'never agains' will be back

Its a disease you can't just get it out of the system that  easily

Quoted from 123614

You really do talk sh1te.  I hope you are eating your words by the end of the season.

You think we are going to beat Notts Co as comprehensively as Chesterfield did do you? You're flipping mad!

If we go down I'm done with it too, followed Town since early 80's season ticket most years since then.. fed up feeling so low every weekend. The board have to go the way the club is run is totally unacceptable.

The club have ruined everything for us. I will not give them another penny should we go down. And i now think its certain
