Match Thread Colchester

We’ve been on a horrendous run, playing terrible football but we’ve had a few injuries and struggled to recruit up front after the first few signings. I feel really bleak about this season and it feels like the dark times of the last few years.

I’m prone to bouts of melancholy which the last few weeks have definitely exacerbated. I know I shouldn’t be affected by the travails of 11+ men I’ve never met kicking a sack of air around once or twice a week but I find I am. This is amplified by the the negativity on here which I understand as you all pay your increasingly hard earned money to watch.

I’m despondent about our results and performances this season. I hope we turn it round and I actually think under Hurst and with these players we will. I’ll be logging off until I’m a bit more resilient but I wish you all well irrespective of whether you agree with my unfounded views or not.

Up the Mariners, hopefully see you all on the other side of this. Take care everyone.

Quoted from Teestogreen

Well - I’ve given the benefit of doubt for the mediocre start to this season for playing most of the teams in the top half so far.
But this game ! Town have been exposed as relegation material again

That's been the main problem with Grimsby Town and even its fans over the last ten or so years.
We seem to accept losing to the top ten sides as our manager has bigged them up so much and it's as if we should feel lucky to be playing against them.

We seem to have a culture of not wanting any success other than finishing a place above relegation.
I expected more this season especially at home where we've been bored to death despite turning up in record numbers.

Quoted from TAGG

There's always one.

Actually there are LOTS more than just one.
