We certainly weren't outclassed today and some would say were unlucky to lose if not win it but it's a results based business.

He's had his chance now for me and the Limbrick project just hasn't worked unfortunately.

Start smelling the coffee Mr Fenty and get a new manager in ASAP.

We have players who can be tricky running at defenders in the opposition box but they never do so “it’s a yes from me”!

I think he should he’s been given enough time and in that time we haven’t even scored a goal, just not good enough, I know it goes deeper than just the manager but we need someone in who can get the best out of this team, this team have had some good wins this season (Exeter away etc) so there is a team capable of competing and winning there.


Grimsby and proud!

The problem its not Limbrick's fault Green couldn't put the ball in the net, and Hendre should have scored, fair enough Limbrick coaching should be working on Max Wright crossing.

Grimsby are very goal shy, Jolley has left us with a load of rubbish.

Also Akheem Rose isn't going to make it awful effort late on.

Harry Cardwell needs to gone on January.

He's not had much luck with the fixtures thrown at him and players spurning good chances. We looked like a cohesive, hard working unit today, trying mainly to play football the right way. I couldn't see the 'penalty' tackle on Ogbu from my seat in the Main, but I've just listened to Limbrick post match and he is adamant that it was a pen. I can only go on what i saw today, but sometimes a manager is guilty by association when he has stepped up from assistant. If we had appointed someone else straight away and had exactly the same run of results, people would be saying 'give him a chance' or 'give him a transfer window'. It's a tough call but i haven't seen us enough to know how much we have improved under him, but my nephew is quite knowledgeable and he say we have improved a lot in our play since he took over. I was quite pleasantly surprised by our performance this afternoon and you don't always get what you deserve in games.

Of course it is down to the manager. We cannot just keep on every week saying he was unlucky, they played well, they did everything but score, they were the better side ...... the table does not lie.

The goals for column is a disgrace. OK Hanson was out but he hasn’t been out for every game and he is not exactly prolific either. So whether the fault on the pitch is in selection, training or form - the buck stops with the manager. The big bucks evidently stop with the board.

Quoted from cmackenzie4
I think he should he’s been given enough time and in that time we haven’t even scored a goal, just not good enough, I know it goes deeper than just the manager but we need someone in who can get the best out of this team, this team have had some good wins this season (Exeter away etc) so there is a team capable of competing and winning there.


But have to disagree with some of this as the quality of our play is much improved and much easier on the eye  than under a MJ and thus it can be argued he is getting the best from them. Today we delivered a lot of good crosses and had good opportunities to score and if Fenty actually agreed to bring in two decent strikers in Jan I think we would be fine but would also like another midfield player adding to the squad.

Vernam was decent today but clearly lacked that confidence to carry the ball those few extra yards into the penalty box where his tricks may have won a penalty or given him a better opportunity to score.

As I said on another thread I would like a total clear out of our forward players but that will not happen overnight and Limbrick can only work with what he has. I would give him the festive and new year period and see how that goes and if goals and results still don’t come then a new a Manager must be brought in and JF should be ensuring he has a fall back position in place, he’s certainly had long enough to do so.

We have three winnable games coming up, assuming Macclesfield game goes ahead.

AL should manage these games before firing the bullet, but there is nothing to stop the Board from continuing to look for a replacement and sounding out prospective replacements who they would want on their shopping list for new players.

Three wins should secure  AL future. Three defeats and he surely has to go.
