Colchester at home Tuesday

Quoted from Mappers

Somebody asked the question on another thread 'how long do we blame Fenty for our current situation ?' .
.

We blame him until the present board have paid off all his neglect of Blundell Park and of Cheapside.

Money that could have been used to get better players here had to be diverted to pay for his mismanagement..

He has put the club back another 3 or 4  years at least.

No wonder he left the area.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt dread before a Town game. Sadly a familiar but horrible feeling. I desperately hope they pull this one out of the bag.

So do I but it needs a lot more than that. If it gives us a boost and we prove the doubters wrong and we rise up the table then great  but if it is just a win against a very poor side with no upturn then we need to make a change.

Quoted from Teestogreen

I think Town have played 11 of the current top thirteen teams - out of 14 games -so it would be really good  if Town could put down a marker against Colchester with a win - to show we’re not the worst in this division
UTM

And we've helped them get in the top half by either capitulating or defending like clowns conceding 2's and 3's most games. Tonight is an absolute MUST win, no unlucky 'rub of the green' and no excuses. Do or die.

Yes he did put the club back years but you can’t carry on using history as an excuse.

I suspect that Jason and Andrew are ahead of where they expected to be when they took over - after all, they talked of a ten year plan - but I suspect that there are other areas that haven’t changed as they would have wanted.

As successful businessmen, they will be looking to what they can do for the future of the club rather than blaming the past.

Not raining yet but you can see it’s coming. Has anyone heard what sort of condition the pitch was in yesterday?

Let's take the higher number 4 years shall we? JF has been "out of the building" for 2.5 years which leaves 1.5 years of blame it on JF.
Who or what are you going to blame then?

Agree with all of that Pete apart from the length of time , I really feel it's probably a decade at least .

The thing is it's hard to put an amount of time on this isn't it as that 'time ' we can never get back much like life in general ; the opportunity and time when we could  get a modern purpose built stadium for 10 million quid is long gone with retail development and funding etc . The decade  were we could have moved with the times has long gone .

Focus on the future - Stockwood & Pettit are now accountable , they must be true supporters and want well as they took on the ultimate money draining , apathetic and unsuccessful organisation going .

They knew what they were getting themselves into though didn't they and i'm confident they have better plans than our previous Extreme (leisure) one .

You are just shaking your fist at the sky, and not concentrating on the here and now.
Carry on like that, and you'll end up like the Middle East, with generations of Mariner Fans growing up using up energy blaming history, not knowing how it started, what's it all about, but crucially not solving the problems of the day.
Focus on the here and now, as a crappy Main Stand isn't making the team play poorly (to be kind) and our Manager make bizarre decisions (to be kind).
