Quoted from GrimRob
The caretaker team had the right idea. Take what we had, and make a few small adjustments they had probably been wanting to do for ages. Instead we have appointed someone who literally wants to tear up the plan and start again with a new plan that is borderline insane. Managers never last long who do that.


Agree with this. Smacks of Bignot to me.


Up The Mariners!

Grow up you child.


He has a bloody good point, how many absolute drubbings are we going to accept before DA is found to be a poor selection.. 6-1 suggests he hasn’t got a clue about his squad, not a bloody clue

Reeks of running before you can walk. Im not accepting a 6-1 at home. Its utterly disgraceful…. Imagine if that was Hurst.

They scored 6 goals from 18 shots. Mansfield had 39 shots, we could easily have lost 10-0 there, when you give sides as many chances as we do. In Paul Hurst's last game by the way the opposition only had 9 shots on goal.

Yes they are crap players but you don’t just say right lads we are going to play like Barcelona now.!!
You play to your teams strength.


Literally our only strength is Danny Rose. The poor beggar must be wondering what he’s signed up for.

Grimrob, you have put your finger on it.  There are two choices..

1. Decide on the best format and style for players we have and improve their performance
2. Decide what format and style you want to play. Get the board to agree and back the new style with new players who have the ability to play the new style.

At the moment DA is trying to introduce a new style with many players ill equipped to play that way.  Today’s result is hardly a surprise although the scale of the defeat is alarming

I think it's clear you'll complain whoever is manager. Who do you think should be our manager? I hope one day we pick 'em and when they fail, it'd be hilarious watching you try to cope, but I don't think you'd be prepared to do that. Sitting back and complaining without offering anything is how you get your self worth.

What is this squad's strength Yoda, since you seem to have so much foresight compared to every single Grimsby Town manager, coach, director and poster on here?
