It’s time

Quoted from MuddyWaters

It's time for lots of things.  Do the fans really need to be told what to do?

The manager and the players need to take some responsibility for this, it's OK Artell saying that Danny Rose thinks we're getting better but that's not what it says in the form book. It's OK JS saying that we need to play 'the Grimsby way', well we haven't played that way for 20 years and we haven't got many, if any, that can play that way.

We're back in deep excrement again and, if that means going back to basics then go back to basics, because a lot of people's patience is wearing very thin again. As a previous poster said, with Fenty it wasn't a shock but this season should have been so much better given the budgetary promises that were made.

Isn't going back to basics what PH got the sack for?

Well just go back to the Crewe game then! We've been rubbish at home since.

Pivotal game for David Artell I feel. The crowd has been decent so far. This is a match against another struggler and so the expectation is different. He needs to get lucky and at minimum a draw. FG will get stronger, Sutton are fighting. We have some attacking potential but most importantly no massive errors, time to be pragmatic if I was in charge. Too much at stake to be looking forward to this but this is crunch time for sure. Doncaster will press us hard as we are very predictable, the question is are we getting any smarter utm

I do think the crowd will play it's part at the weekend. If we start booing and jeering if they try to play out from the back it's only going to make things worse. I totally understand the frustration but we need to be pulling in the same direction. Moaning at the players in a high stakes local derby is going to be counterproductive and could result in a very uncomfortable afternoon for everyone. A bit of support and positivity at the game. Then slate them on here if they've been shite and shown no fight again.

Ultimately, the Blundell Park crowd, like most football crowds, is quite predictable. The players will have the complete backing of the fans at kick-off, just as they did during the opening minutes of the Stockport game (when we looked alright, incidentally). What happens thereafter is almost entirely the domain of the players.

Play well, get in front and stay in front, and the support will be there, no doubt. But keep repeating the mistakes of recent games - sloppy, avoidable goals, a perceived lack of solidity and effort, and they’re going to make a rod for their own back. No amount of well meaning words on the Fishy is going to change that.

BP is a powder keg ready to go off on Saturday. Rather than lament that, DA needs to go into the game cognisant of the potential for unrest, and take steps to mitigate it. Emphasis really must be on not repeating the same mistakes that have plagued us this calendar year in particular.

It was a joke , hence the big nose emoji. It was in response to black and white bear the miserable git

I'm miserable because  I said DA was not a liar?  Wow, some people........
