The players need us behind them and imagine if there’s a prospective manager sat in the stands how much we can make this old place a real draw. Also there’s an element of respect and thanks for Hurst to be shown. So even though Morcambe will bring 72 fans and we’re all a bit down, how’s about making Blundell Park sound like we know it can, loud and intimidating. A positive place for our team. We’re all from Grimsby, who the intercourse are you?!? Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Concede a couple of soft goals early on, as we seem to have been doing, and all the good will goes out of the window. We’ve seen it a million times. I’ll go with hope that we see a turnaround in performance and fortunes, but the last few weeks have knocked any confidence I had in the side, out of me. It’s up to them to change that. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Surely they will raise their game with prospective new managers looking on. To show more will to win and togetherness would be nice otherwise January could be very interesting.

Town:             P6 W1 D1 L4 - F8 A12 Morecambe:   P6 W4 D1 L1 - F12 A6 It’s genuinely not my intention to píss on anyone’s fireworks, but it’s going to be tough.

It’s a classic “they’re a small club so we should beat them” thing when actually they are much better than us at the moment. Everyone needs to go to the game which a bigger up attitude on Saturday.

Why don’t we try something different given we otherwise seem bound to lose. Forget who we are playing go out and play front foot football and see what happens. If ever a team has frightened itself to death it’s us.

Beer Drinker Posts: 152 Posts Per Day: 0.34 Approval: -121 Gold Stars: 12	The fans weren’t happy with results (3 wins in 20) and voiced their frustrations (mostly for PH to be sacked) which then happened. There are clearly two options available: Option 1 - Drip and moan, getting angry and frustrated, until a new manager comes in (which could be weeks still). Option 2 - Get 100% behind the players, the Caretakers and hope to lift a team devoid of confidence in the hope of a precious 3 points before a new manager comes in. As a fan,  we’ve only got one option available……..

The supporters should get rowdy and behind the team from kick off, but what then unfolds is down to the players. They’ve absolutely got to raise their game. The first goal is absolutely pivotal in how the atmosphere evolves though, and again, he’s correct - an early or soft goal and best case scenario then would be the descending of near silence punctuated by grumbles and yells. Worst case - yells boos, abuse and mindless, self obstructive chanting. So - the performance must be better and we must stay in the game, and what we really need to see is some visible method and team spirit and fight. "You should do what you love while you can"

It’s when the performances are lackluster, the opposing goals are soft and player motivation is questionable, then that’s when things turn sour. The Grimsby fans just want to see that the players are giving there all. Surely, that’s not too much to ask from professionals?

If ever a team has frightened itself to death it’s us. It’s not a case of bugging up the opposition, they are in the play offs and we are right among the dead men. Unfortunately that’s the reality. The team have to treat it like that too and get in there fighting for the right to win every ball. I’d love us to be out there strutting about but we have got to earn that in everything we do.
