Posted a tweet earlier saying i felt Pollock was culpable for the goal. He’s responded by liking it on twitter. Bottom of the EFL mattie and yes your young but time and a place. Be getting a lot worse said ( the lot of them) were we in the ground

I thought the biggest fault for the goal was the amount of time we gave the lad to put the cross in. Was it Hendrie who singularly failed to close him down in any way? From there it's a good cross and a good header but the lack of desire to stop the cross was woeful.

Didn't watch today, but it was a hard listen.
I kind of get the starting line-up. Harrogate's threat came from long-throws and set pieces and in general the 3 centre-backs seemed to protect against that from what I can gather. We just didn't seem to have any midfield whatsoever. I didn't hear El Mizouni or Coke's name once all game.
Going into today I would have taken a draw. Harrogate are in decent form and are a well coached side, I remember them playing us off BP earlier in the season. A point here and a win on Tuesday against a well out-of-form Orient would have given us 7 out of 9, 3 unbeaten - a real booster - and I felt that Hurst might have been ensuring we didn't get well beaten and destroy any confidence gained from Crawley. Still, a win on Tuesday still gives us 2 wins from 3 which I would be ecstatic about. Two big games next week.
Hopefully we can play to our strengths against Orient and our creative players can affect the game far more than today.
This has been very apparent for a long time. We're sinking because their is no engine room. |

Is he only allowed to respond if we're top? Perhaps he was agreeing with you. |

Perhaps Ginny But i doubt it, you know as well as i do the players have had an easy ride this season. Fenty and Holloway have deserved every bit of flak gone their way but players have escaped the gauntlet somewhat with no fans in grounds |

Can't agree with you more. If fans were in the ground players would get their backsides kicked, and rightly so on some occasions. Since covid players have had an easy ride from fan criticism. |

Does having your home fans on your back help though? It might do when you’re 3-0 down and you start to give up. In general though we have been losing by the odd goal (particular since Paul Hurst was appointed). Personally, I don’t see a lack of effort. A lack of ability and confidence possibly. Shouting at players for misplaced passes, missed chances, misjudging through balls in the wind is unlikely to yield improved results. |

Whatever, I feel about the quality of the side I haven’t doubted the commitment of the vast majority including Pollock. Do we think the players don’t care about being bottom of the league and possibly going into non-league football? Of course they care and losing matches isn’t an easy ride. Of course with fans present they would have had more grief but equally they would have had a lot of support and fans driving that extra 5% out of them that could have made the difference. You should probably direct your tweets at Hurst and question why we appear to be getting no better despite a significant influx of players of his choice. Hope he turns it round but things not looking good at the moment and a minimum of 4 points needed next week from the two home games. |

I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter who manages Grimsby, the rot has gone far deeper than we realise.
Our club is a shadow of its former self, all the hard work that Buckley put in has gone up in smoke, we are a bottom feeder now, can't hide or shy away from it, we are a NL club and saying that breaks my heart
My only hope is this takeover brings a new dawn, a new optimism and a club that is back in its rightful place in 3-4 seasons for the fans and the Great Grimsby community.
This malaise and demise lays at one person's feet, Mr JSF..
As i have said previously this club has reached terminal entropy,it is no longer a problem with the players but rot has permeated all aspects of the club. This has been allowed to occur under the stewardship of one person. I would say that the position is irretrievable and requires a total reformation of the club and its infrastructure For instance the pastoral care of the players is risible,and rather than being seen as assets to the club,they are regarded as outputs. |

It's not just what you have said, but the electric atmosphere that goes with it in the ground. It gets to the players and improves them on the day. |
