We mustn’t lose to FGR


Despite us having the game in hand, Forest Green have 3 games to our 2 between now and our fixture with them at BP. We’ve got:

Donny (h)
Morecambe (a)

FGR have got:

Crawley (a)
Tranmere (h)
Wrexham (h)

There is a reasonable possibility that the veggies come to Cleethorpes with the possibility of going above us with a win. Slightly more outlandish, but they could already be ahead of us. Either prospect makes me feel a bit sick.

I don’t think it’s quite dawned on some just how much their win last night changes the complexion of things down at the bottom.

Quoted from forza ivano


We've won 1 league game (against an incredibly abysmal Salford) in over 2 months and are bottom of the form table.
Add into it the lack of pragmatism and  'we are too good to go down" philosophy  that seems to permeate from the top and I fear we are sleepwalking to a THIRD relegation into the non league abyss

Ps i am not anti Artell  n would love it to work out, buy I fear the worst



According to the form table on the Fishy, we're not bottom over the last 6 or 10 games even being as poor as we are

https://thefishy.co.uk/formtable.php?table=4

The Google form table has us 4th from bottom over the last 5 games

Which form table has us bottom, as its always good to see the full picture?

Saturday is absolutely massive for both clubs. Donny were tanking as badly as us with a couple of thrashings, but have improved with a win and two draws. But a defeat for them and a win for FGR drags them into it, with a draw in our game in hand then taking us above them on GD. Never mind the FGR game, the thought of defeat on Saturday brings on nausea with me

We won 6 games ago and 10 games ago

https://www.thefishy.co.uk/team.php?team=Grimsby

so just to even maintain our positions in both these tables we need to win again (it's like tennis rankings when last year's tournament is replaced by this year's)

If we beat Donny, Sutton and Forest Green that could well be enough though even if we lose everything else!

I did the predictor for the rest of the Lg 2 fixtures and it looked like

22nd - Town - 46 pts
23rd - FGR - 42 pts
24th - Sutton - 36 pts

Far too close for comfort, but the again I'm rubbish at predictions.

Interestingly at the other end Mansfield as champions, Stockport & Wrexham automatic and play offs Crewe, Harrogate, AFC Wimbledon and I don't know where this came from Morecombe.

Looks like a bumpy ride.

When we were down in the conference how many people on here were shouting about it only being fare for there to be 3 promotion places, now we’re in league 2 how many think 2 is ample.

I have a gut feeling that we’ll need to pick up one more point than Colchester in order to stay up.
