I really like Michael and think he is an intelligent forward thinking manager and hope he makes a success of the opportunity Grimsby have given him.

BUT

We can not carry on losing games like we are doing because the axe will fall before too long and we will never know his potential.

So I hope we start winning a few games.  Stevenage will be a good start  

I wish him all the luck in the world that he can turn things round and show us what a good manager he is..

Mid table will be good enough this season then a good promotion push next season.

Ipswin might disagree with me.

We've got to start playing with a bit of passion - all this stuff out the classroom (to me, anyway) makes the players look like they're thinking too much - it all looks a bit sterile.

Don't think there's any need for all the red xs at all, Pete makes a good point, we as fans all want MJ to succeed, he's by far the most forward thinking and most qualified manager we've had but, unless he can show he can put said attributes into practice and get some good results along with consistent performances then how long do we give him before we're on his back and putting pressure on the board to make a change?
I as many town fans( not you swin) backed his appointment with surprise, anticipation but also with open arms and an air of excitement.
So, do your stuff Mr Jolley, get this team firing, going on a winning run and we'll back you all the way....keep losing and expect hell and fire water to come....
Nice bloke, settled into life in Grimsby and hope beyond hope he brings back the good times to GTFC..

The players need to turn up for 90 mins and show a bit of bottle.

Ahh yes "playing with passion" the classic retort of someone who clearly has little knowledge of coaching or managing or making it to the top. I mean, none of these players have had any passion to even get where they are now let alone continue doing it every day.

We need a manager who shows passion on the touch line - what? Like Tim Sherwood? Throwing his arms around and shouting like the cretin he is? Brilliant. Let's get him and and 11 numpties and see where we end up.

How about we show a bit of patience and buy into an actual project for once? Give it time, let it grow and reap the rewards of building something rather than tearing up every springing shoot we sow.

Jesus f***ing wept.

Not concerned about 'passion' either, just about the number of square pegs in round holes we've seen so often this season. Hopefully the injured players will return soon to fill some of those holes, either that or the positioning of the holes changes!

That wasn't intended to sound in any way obscene, incidentally.
