ollie to sort it out in january he will trim squad to 20/21 players & get proper league two players , keep the faith we can't keep sacking managers


Have we sacked that many? Scott was dismissed for gross misconduct, Hurst left for a new job, Jolley resigned. Bignot and Slade were sacked, but only Slade for poor results.

Ollie must stay & sort this out. He has admitted his mistakes - already started by pruning the squad.
He's had a rough time since arriving at the Costa del Cleethorpes. Most would have had the stuffing knocked out of them by now but he remains positive. Give him time guys & stop this tiring & firing philosophy which will surely drag us even further down.

Olly should stay. I am not sure what is going on but the season has been a real challenge with Covid infections infecting the club and matches coming thick and fast. It's been the same for others but we fell behind with the fixtures early on and pre-season was non existent. Everyone is desperate for some cheer. The club has had years of suffering and it weighs us all down. You wonder how much more you can take and the club needs a lift. OH is the man to do it.

Apart from his kicking which is very poor he is letting goals he would have saved last season.

He is having a shocking season.


Absolutely,  one of the goals yesterday he dived with two hands.  Bad decision, one hadned saves give you far more reach.   I was gonna watch again but I can't bear it.  It looks awkward and desperate.

No strength at all there with those two.

You need at least one of them to be able to hold the ball up. Think Woods (hold up) or Livvo and Mendonca, Gary Jones. Or more recently Bogle and Hannah. Neither of the two you mention can do that. In fact, we don't have anyone aside from the always injured Hanson who can hold the ball up and bring others into play. Means the ball doesn't stick up front and comes back at you. Matt Green can do half a job but his second touch is usually a tackle.

A new strong centre forward is key IMO and IH will know that.


If we could break or move forward with any speed you wouldn't need a big lad to hold it up.  Where are the defence splitting through balls for one of these young lads to run onto.  Watch Crewe last year, their passing was awesome - fast and accurate.

Agreed, our delivery from wide areas has been woeful and I don't think I've seen a central midfielder pass the ball forwards all season long. We have problems all over the pitch. Central midfield is well up there as far as priorities go in my opinion. I do think we need a strong centre forward, you need one as a focal point in a 4-3-3 or variation of that with three up top and we don't have anyone at the club aside from the always injured Hanson who can really do that.

People talking about getting a proven striker.

Where is the money coming from ?  

Because if  he is free or unattached he will not be an improvement on what we have got.I

Ollie needs a lot of luck in finding one.

Ollie to stay, how does our budget compare to the top 10 sides.

1. If it's not a top 10 budget then we are getting what we are paying for.

2. If it is a top 10 budget then ollie and the players need to fix it and fast.

That's alright Pete there are dozens of players all wanting to play for him (allegedly) they'll probably just play for love
