Starting to come to the opinion that we are no better than last season, despite having some players that are better than we had last year.

We used to have a keeper who wasn’t afraid to catch a ball for starters.

What on earth has that got to do with being better?


At one time none of the youth got a contract when they were 18, so it has to be better. He's also been on the bench. Going back over the years we nearly built a team on youth players so it has to be good for the future.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Last season we would not have caved like we did today.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Better as individuals yes.

But somehow the team is less than the sum of its parts. Especially up front where  we are utterly toothless.

Overall we somehow seem to have gone backwards from last year despite a massive budget increase....

The worry is if 'the going get's tough ' we no longer have the characters to go into the trenches .

I think Eastwood has done ok in general , but when Crocombe left I had the expectation of a ready made high end keeper , rather than a work in progress .

It seems like up top we made the same as normal mistake  ,of letting Orsi go when Hurst thought we could get better , before we actually signed anyone so we have ended up with a striker who has played the last 2 seasons as a right back  who IMO is obviously worse than Orsi.

The frustration is that we’ve had decent spells in most games until yesterday. Even though we took a two goal lead, Crawley looked a greater threat with a striker that we deemed to be not good enough. Nothing against Gav but he’s not a superstar and when he’s comfortably your most effective midfielder then you’ve got a problem.

Crawley got about Conteh and he couldn’t boss the game. That then exposed Clifton and the midfield options off the bench (Andrews and Ainley) didn’t/couldn’t affect the game. That then leads to questions about Hunt and Khouri- what the f*** is going on?
