very dangerous this ........performances improved initially under woods and look where that got us
Did they? Were you in a coma at that time? Neil Woods was appointed caretaker manager on the 18th October 2009. Whilst caretaker his first 4 games resulted in 3 defeats and 1 draw (2-2 at home to Accrington) including being dumped out of the FA Cup at home by non league Bath City. We then drew the next 2 games. He was appointed full first team manager on the 23rd November 2009. His first full game resulted in us being spanked 0-3 at home to Bradford City. His first win didn't come until the 6th March 2010. The worst decision in the history of this fine club made by a Board of Grimsby Town Football Club and all those who were involved in that decision should hang their heads in shame for evermore. |

Replacing Rodger with Nicky Law comes close. |

Quoted from 123614
Regardless of that, his record is 1 point from a possible 9, not good enough for me.
He'd have done well to get 3 points at Newport! |

Which, considering we've only played for 6 points, is a little bizarre. |

There are maybe other issues surrounding Jolley's time that have now gone so the board may view improvements a bit differently. Nevertheless one draw in 3 games ain't good.
Pity it is so long until the Swindon game but in a sense that now becomes make or break for Limbrick as he will have had ample preparation time to set out his stall for a result.
Let's not get into the business of "don't forget we are playing a top team" or "we are competing against a bigger budget" , or "we played well and a draw was a fair result so give him more time" or "we played well but just could not find that first goal".
This game is all about getting 3 points. He does that and he gets more time. He doesn't and the board gets someone else in asap.

So you're telling me you expected someone to come in, be given 48 hours with the players and go and smash, Newport, Northampton and Cheltenham for 9 points ..?? Think you need to wake up and smell the coffee bud, we couldn't afford pep I'm afraid .. |

Wasn't Mike Parker one of those on the Board who wanted Woods? |

Exactly, RRFC. Poor results and performances can easily be rationalised and accepted. This does not help to make the improvements needed.
David still managed to flatten Goliath, and he probably had a bigger budget. 😁

No real point in appointing new manager till transfer window opens,might as well  give Limbrick a chance as he knows the players and their capabilities.If he does not bring improvement new manager when window opens. |

Like I said all the those involved at the time are to blame for what happened. |
