Think the Board should appoint a manager, but not lose S and B as they have lots to contribute but probably not yet ready for Manager roles. Too much at stake.


They can start by contributing some lessons in basic defending. We give away soft goals most weeks even against poor opposition.

Quoted from Hagrid
Would never have worked under Jolley. Didnt like his style of football at all


He was extremely disliked as well within the club, Very arrogant


This is absolutely true - he was awful to the ping lads! I was told a story by someone who was there that a youth player accidentally kicked the ball in the direction of the managers cabin at Cheapside and it hit it when Jolley inside - he lost and completely tore into the young lad in an overly aggressive way!! Other similar stories too!!

Quoted from RonMariner
After 4 games , two against NLN opposition, one against FGR, hardly tearing it up are they. We still look wide open at the back. We need a new manager who can bring in some competent defenders in January.


Did we really expect them to with a squad low on confidence? Changes need to be drilled over a longer period longer than 3 weeks for the players to adhere naturally!

Quoted from Simon


Lad that works in our office has been today, just posted in our works group chat that he saw danny cowley at the game all i'm asking is did anyone else see him there? He's a good lad so i will be amazed if he's wrong but i wasn't there so just asking the question



I'm bumping this hoping it will be seen by someone who can confirm the sighting. Having turned down Bradford City for family reasons I'd be amazed if the Cowleys would be interested in the Grimsby job; but I'd be delighted if they are.

Does anyone really think Danny Cowley would’ve been spotted, and sat in a crowd of about 2500 for nearly 2 hours, and nobody took a picture or more than one person has said they saw him?

Seems beyond unlikely.

Perhaps he went wearing a cog netto.

Quoted from The Yard Dog


We are unbeaten in four games and three of those games we were behind, taking 4 points from a losing position and progressing to the next round of the FA cup, not a lot more they could do really. A unbeaten run builds confidence which is very important, todays point is massive especially after two down at half-time. A win next Saturday 7pts from 9pts, most of us would take that.

Shaun & Ben are building a foundation for the new manager to build on when appointed.

Totally agree - let’s hope Shaun and Ben are the beneficiaries  of their hard work - pretty sure the directors said they were in the frame if they did well.

We would be in an even worse position without the uptick in results over the last couple of weeks, so credit to them for that.

However we do need a bit of a re-boot, new manager with fresh ideas and to give the club and fans something to really get behind.

It is really disappointing to see all the media outlets describing us as league 2 strugglers again which is obviously true, yet a lot of us still cling to the hope and expectation we are at the start of a major revival.

I think we should have completed an appointment in time for the fans forum and the Sutton game, surely?
