It's the hope that kills you.

Quoted from DB

No point in going if you think your team will lose ( yes I know we can't at the moment).

Liverpool  "You'll never walk alone" comes to mind and it was an ex Grimsby manager who put them onto the road of success.

Every game to have to be believe we're going to win, regardless of players, otherwise you are not a supporter. Doesn't matter how they were last time out it's a new 90 minutes.

God you don't half talk a load of shite.

I said as soon as Neil Woods was made a manager we would get relegated, didn't stop me going though.

Ian Holloway has left us with just about the worst squad I have seen in over 55 years and don't know where the next win will come from but it wont stop me watching.

So stop talking balderdash.

I see your point mate but I take solace in the fact that everyone else seems as bad as us. We have a very competent manager in PH and after two weeks actually had us looking like we could defend, with a full strength side I believe our first 11 isn't actually too bad and is something to work with but we are in desperate need of a striker and a central midfielder. It's the squad as a whole that is actually shocking as the options just aren't there.

I would snatch your hand off for 5 points. We would be unbeaten, made some ground up on one of them. That form would give us another 35 points.

Arry apart from your first and last sentence I agree with you. We are both positive and want success I was merely reply to what I considered to be negative comments :-

"Love optimism but can anyone honestly see us winning any of them. Hate to be so down but especially with the lack of transfer activity why do people think poor players will suddenly become good"

We live in hope and hope we thrash Scunny.

I'm thinking back three years ago when we looked truly awful under Slade and we failed to get a new manager bounce under Jolley. I think we lost 4-0 at Coventry and I doubt anyone on this messageboard back then saw a team that could win four of its final six games to pull clear.

Granted, back then, we weren't in the relegation zone, although we were just above Chesterfield and they had three games in hand on us at one point.

Obviously the massive turning point was that late pen against them, which spurred us on to win at Swindon then at home to Notts County to confirm safety (and then we had some fun at Forest Green — JJ Hooper hat-trick, who saw THAT coming?!).

My point is, while the situation isn't exactly the same (it's probably more desperate now) you don't know what's round the corner. I also remember us losing something like six on the trot in 2006/7, losing 4-1 at Torquay on a Friday night, slipping into the bottom two and then... 6-0 win at Boston.

Even given our current form, I don't see any reason why we can't go to Scunny on Saturday and win. They're pretty awful at the minute. We beat them at home a month ago.

The more time Hurst has to get his feet under the table, and get the likes of Hanson and Scannell fit, the better. We didn't lose to Southend (which really would've been a hammer blow) so it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom.
