This is a really poor league, it was an opportunity to kick on. That said - although there is improvement in some ways there are also many question marks.

It can’t be easy defensively when there is no continuity in line ups, both in defence and midfield- far too much unnecessary chopping and changing. Tactically there are question marks in the manager - he’s been here long enough now and has his own players to build/have an identity - not sure it’s there tbh.

That said - can’t keep chopping and changing managers  - doesn’t help, but Jolley has to recognise own errors and rectify quickly - Jan window last opportunity to get what needs in, get a style/team and stick with it. Confidence game is football - it can come and go before you know it - but help yourself and players by having confidence in them, back those to play in right positions and gel - age/experience regardless.  

From outside looking in we don’t have the ability/quality/mentality to be a Hurst like 1-0 nick a win and defend. So it’s a Keegan like we score 4 you score 3 if needs be - pace, width and a midfield creator, and a striker to put ‘em away.

Another wide man, better midfield to create so Hess can mop up, we don’t need lots doing in January - but it’s up to Jolley to stick with personnel and give them the best opportunity. And himself.

Yes. Doesn't it just make your blood boil though Herts to think that a really up and at 'em performance from the kick off against a poor side like Orient would have achieved that? Instead we are fannying about with Subbuteo and FIFA manager selections and tactics like it's some kind of academic exercise. I'm surprised him and Limbrick haven't got a wi-fi link in the dug out and a laptop in there.



100% agree

I would add that he has strong loyalties to certain players with Ohman & Hendrie top of that list. Hendrie has not had a great start to the season and should have had some time out the side, he clearly has talent but is just out of form..

Recalling Ohman who has not played a competitive game for several weeks is not the wisest move and if Davis had to be dropped why was Pollock not given a recall? The lad has done nothing wrong when played and despite his youth probably should be first choice anyway if selected on performances.

Alan Buckley knew his best side and stuck to it unless an injury forced him to change the team,

He did alright don't you think ?

Jolley has changed the team every week apart from one I think and with tactics and personal changes during the games he has changed the side over 20 times so far this season.

No wonder the players have no idea what they are suppose to do.

You can not blame the players for these poor runs only one man is at fault but he calls the players instead of shouldering the mistakes in team formation and selection.

Having said that we could win 3-0 at Cambridge on Tuesday but it might be another heavy defeat,

We just don't know what to expect and that is no way to get promoted.

If players are out of form (Hanson, Hendrie), leave them out. If players win, produce (Gibson, Ogbu, Pollock) don’t leave them out. If players have been injured (Ohman) don’t change things to accommodate them. Much, much too much thinking.

Quoted from golfer



Players and the fans are Confused.com with what exactly Jolly is trying to do. He might understand Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity but as far as football goes I fear that he has failed to take the curvature of space and time into consideration.


I guess that would be why he holds a UEFA Pro Licence, the highest-level managerial qualification in association football in Europe!

Wow! Just about sums up the expectations of an average Grimsby Town supporter.
Zero ambition. As long as we survive that will do! God help us.


I feel your comment should be aimed at the boardroom, their form deserves what you have said.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

The only problem is he is working with L2 players not international players that can adapt to different formations and tactics.
