Really poor. I mean really really poor display today and I feel sorry for anyone who has travelled all the way down and wasted a Good Friday holiday to watch that.

Town were inept both individually and collectively. Woolford put in a display which would rival Jamie Clarke at his worst and passed unerringly to players in striped shirts - only we were playing in red.

I don't recall our testing their keeper at any stage and we offered nothing. 1-0 was very generous and there were at least two goal line clearances and two other off the post.

Rose and Clifton came on at half-time and improved things but that says very little.

Town had no idea beyond hopeful punts up to Cardwell who didn't win a single header as far as I remember.

Put it this was, I saw lots of better performances when we were in the Conference

Thanks for that. Your report was better than I expected, going by the match commentary...

Gutless, spineless and worse and most worrying perhaps as this one applies to Jolley, clueless

At least it was the only game I have had to suffer this season, dreading May 4th when I have to go through it all again (tempted to spend all afternoon in the Notts)

My deepest condolences to those who have had to watch this dross all season and to those who came down from Grimsby to witness this afternoon's bag 'o shite.

Can't single out a single player for a compliment let alone praise, if I have to then Macca (as usual)

Glad that I decided to miss my first home game of the season that day. I'm off on a cruise on the Sunday, leaving from Southampton, I could have gone to the game first and then gone down to my brother's in Surrey after the game, but I decided to leave to go down there on Saturday morning.

The way we've been playing the past few weeks I reckon I made the right decision,

This!

The p1ssed element of today's support really stuck it to the players after the game, to be honest I can't blame them. The thing that illustrated everything about us now is that as far as I recall Rose, Clifton, Macca and I think Hess stood there and took it, the rest didn't get too close.

Is it falling apart?
Are we about to become like York City?
Is the best we have to look forward too next season 3rd from bottom?
Watched the NL playoff final again the other night to cheer me up
It seems Worlds apart

I think they've all been on holiday for the past month at least!

It's just so sh1t. The players. The tactics. Slow death since we were promoted. Starved of the necessary talent, money and vision.
