The fact that woodman struggled to string a coherent sentence together and repeated himself a couple of times without making any reasoned argument for how we disrespected them should never have warranted a reply to it on Twitter from the club .
Silence is the best way to disrespect people at times and our CEO should’ve taken that route.
In the greater scheme of things it’ll all be forgotten in a couple of weeks anyway .

Investment on the pitch is all that matters... The rest is just a distraction. The last time we really invested in the team was when Alan Buckley was manager after he came back from West Brom... The likes of Groves, Donavon, Smith, Nogan and Burnett etc. were brought in and success was attained that year with promotion back to the championship... If we could invest in the team you have to ask yourself: "Do we have the right manager to do the job'... and then you have to build that team with permanent signings with decent contracts to keep it together while you are rebuilding.... Build a team the right way even if it takes a year or two.. Put some solid foundations into it and stop all these loans...
When the new owners were announced I assumed this would be the strategy from the start - first and foremost invest in the team in conjunction with the easier tasks of improving facilities. They do need to raise their game on the playing side - assuming Hurst is being ambitious enough with his request for players but he always seems so low key and I sometimes wonder if he takes a perverse pleasure at making do.

Absolutely correct and rightly so.
However: Docks are currently selling packs of 12 Pettits sausages at £9 (£0.75 per sausage). Yesterday they were charging £4 for a sausage bun in the fanzone for two sausages in a bun. I know the fuel bills have gone up but £2.50 to cook and bread two sausages - really?! 50p for cheese as well and 30p (7% increase) on Clap Fish in a week. We all wanted better food but I don’t think we wanted the urine taking out of us as well.
There are cheaper options all around the ground and outside too. No one is forcing you to pay that. If you want a cheaper sausage bun I’m sure you can find a greasy spoon on Grimsby road that will do you a mass produced lips and ar**holes banger in a bun for half the price. It’s moaning for moanings sake.

Okay, I'll assume that the original poster called it a strange substitution before he knew that JMD was injured. So in hindsight, not strange at all.

I didn’t actually. I found it strange that JMD wasn’t replaced like for like by Sousa or Wright. No disrespect to Harry but we were winning the game down that side when we had the attacking threat but ended up losing control of that side of the pitch.

You seem to misunderstand the right to have an opinion.

Nope, it’s just my opinion that it’s moaning for moanings sake. Is that alright? And in his workings out he neglected to mention cost of wage for their staff, and whatever their deal is with the club who I imagine they either pay a fee to, or give a % of their earnings to. Pretty sure I’ve paid a similar price for a plain Rollover hot dog in a stale baguette in away ends when that IS the only option.

Storm in a teacup at best.
Woodman is a sharp object that manages a horrible side. Yet he's also the same sharp object that's taken 6 points off us because we rolled over to have our bellies tickled.
Cook's response shouldn't be the focus of this week. The inquiry should be into why we were so feeble, why we threw away a relatively comfortable position and why the last 3 months we've fallen like a stone.
Cynic in me thinks it's a nice distraction technique from Cook to deflect from the alarming form and increasing calls for a managerial change.

Years of supporting Town do that to you, don't they? We had chances to bury them Saturday but we are nothing like ruthless enough and we always seem ready to drop a level to let the opposition into the game. I'm convinced we've still got the players to get promoted but they seem to lack willpower and motivation. Very strange.
