And what happened when that happened last time .. dummy spat right out


Is he irreplaceable? No. Would it free up some budget for the new manager? Yes. Would we be able to get a quality young loan keeper in? Yes.

Yes Macca is prone to the odd flappy gaff, that is why he is in L2. Right now he deserves support and respect. It isn't like he is chucking them in the net, week in week out.

As regards being captain, to change mid season would be a real kick in the teeth. Personally, I feel you should have a centre half or centre mid as captain. Macca seems far too hyped up and is racing out getting embroiled in situations with refs and players. Almost as if he feels obligated as captain. Swap next season. Hess, Waterfall or a new experienced signing to take the arm band.

Well, hopefully we soon get a new manager that makes sense of the situation. Personally, I don't see that a keeper/captain works but I'm not sure that there many better options in the squad.

He had 2 years left on his previous contract. We could have told him to do one in the summer. We weren’t obliged to give him his new 3-year contract.

our excrement team has nothing to do with him being Captain.
Hes a good keeper for this level.
Leave the bloke be and focus on the real problem this club has had for the hast 16 or so years.
The stench of a rotten club was overwhelming yesterday.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Quoted from bax


Good teams have leaders all over the pitch. It should be that a captain is a captain in name only and it shouldn’t matter where they play on the pitch. The problem is we don’t appear - at the moment - to have enough leaders.



I agree, I don't remember Craig Disley going around the pitch shouting instructions at players.

Macca is as good as anyone at this level yesterday to a degree he was stitched up by our inability to defend
