Come on Town, let's get a win tonight.

Not for RS but for our famous old club that I couldn't bear seeing back in the tinpot again.

Utm

Team news is late! But please win town please😭

No Dembele. Read into that what you will

Mills for Davies. Dembele reoccurrence of his back injury

Quoted from Hagrid

No Dembele. Read into that what you will

Been injured, not performed for weeks and was rubbish on Saturday. That's what i'm reading into it. May have a different view by tomorrow night.

Dembele bad back struggles with long coach trips away at the minute lol would have been ok if a home game allegedly read into that why you like

Quoted from ginnywings

Been injured, not performed for weeks and was rubbish on Saturday. That's what i'm reading into it. May have a different view by tomorrow night.

I agree but this is Grimsby town. Never any honesty to the fans, he’ll be gone by tomorrow.

Sam Jones still ill then?

I hope he does leave because I couldn’t stand the thought of him rotting in the reserves.

dembelle will be gone tomorrow

Quoted from Hagrid

I agree but this is Grimsby town. Never any honesty to the fans, he’ll be gone by tomorrow.

If he is, then he is. It's the nature of football that bigger clubs take players from smaller clubs, but i am not so sure that he is the hot property that everyone is claiming, with scouts lining up to take him. He has promise, no doubt, but he's hardly set the world alight yet. If he is on his way, why would the club announce it before it happens? Not about honesty for me.

Can you imagine any other manager getting rid of Osborne and potentially Dembele/Jones when in our current position?
I know they haven't actually gone yet but the signs are worrying.

So what's the 11?

We will never keep hold of anyone decent anymore, like serge mokofo

The positive is that Harry Clifton is in the squad, the negative is that Dembele, Clements, Jones & McAllister aren't.

Ffs  berrett in front of others again

Quoted from ginnywings

It's the nature of football that bigger clubs take players from smaller clubs, but i am not so sure that he is the hot property that everyone is claiming, with scouts lining up to take him. He has promise, no doubt, but he's hardly set the world alight yet. If he is on his way, why would the club announce it before it happens? Not about honesty for me.

Couldn’t agree more, if he is sold the new club would be buying potential nothing more nothing less. Not something that particularly worries me as if we get a decent fee would have been good business and hopefully allows to invest in some decent midfield players.

Ideal world he will fulfill his potential at town but with contracts and the transfer market as crazy as ever a long term stay is always going to be unlikely.

Anyway good luck for tonight do not want another miserable night.

Bloody hell, I hope we don't get any defensive injuries! It's what you might call an attacking bench

Why cant clements, mcallister or asante get near the subs bench.......


Oh yes Slade didnt sign them!

Mcalister? The man with 4 games in a year and a half.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Got a feeling ant potential fee will be taken a a severance for mr fenty

The Russell Slade interpretation of 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' appears to be 'If it's copulated just keep doing it and cross your fingers'.

Re line up, If it doesn't work Slade then keep doing the same every week till it does.(stupids)

If that's the team Slade has picked to save his job he had better get ready for his P45.
Dixon, Berret and Matt. So it looks like we are playing with 8 men then. Could have been worse if Woolford had been included.
Slade reckoned on Saturday that playing with 10 men is better than 11. If that's right why does he start with11?
Anyway, come on GTFC if only for the supporters sake.

Quoted from Stew0_0

Why cant clements, mcallister or asante get near the subs bench.......


Oh yes Slade didnt sign them!

Might be wrong but I don't think any of them are fully match fit

Quoted from forza ivano

Might be wrong but I don't think any of them are fully match fit

They wont get match fit unless they are playing- they didnt even play in the last reserve game

Jones and Dembele to scunny is what I'm hearing ?

They all played games during there respective 2/3 months loans, including Mcallister

FFS !!

That's good then... slade says it's better with 10 men
Should be easy now FFS 😧

As it stands we haven't lost   :)

Rose off

Quoted from fleabag1970

Jones and Dembele to scunny is what I'm hearing ?

if they are good enough  for div 1..why the hell are we not building a team around them

Well lets hope that Yeovil are as clueless against ten men as we were........

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Rose off

Game over   :-/

Jesus, that's made the game harder.

Come on Grimsby.

flipping idiot rose 😡

That's the excuse sorted then.

Slade excuse sorted for this week then

FFS, couldn't get my radio to work, so had to go to my shed for the other one. Plug it in and the the very first thing i hear is Rose being sent off.

All that way stuck on a bus for 8 minutes on the pitch

Well that was worth the long journey down there for Rose! 200+ miles for 6 minutes of football

SENDING OFF ALREADY

Quoted from ginnywings

FFS, couldn't get my radio to work, so had to go to my shed for the other one. Plug it in and the the very first thing i hear is Rose being sent off.

Maybe he’ll finally put clements in the squad for the next game. But i doubt it

SENDING OFF ALREADY

anyway to listen to the game online?

I cannot get the radio. What did he do?

Luton won with 10 men    ;)

MR ROSE

Quoted from barralad

I cannot get the radio. What did he do?

Studs up challenge.

Quoted from barralad

I cannot get the radio. What did he do?

Abysmal over the top tackle.

Let's do a Luton then

Hope slade chucks the book at him. Absolute fuckig idiot and he’s already my twit of the week

Quoted from barralad

I cannot get the radio. What did he do?

Failed to engage his brain.

1 - 0 to the Mariners then...   ermmmm....   ffs....

Yes looked a blatant red from what I saw. Completely unnecessary challenge. Stupid twit.

That's that then

Game over

We are fooking useless and we are going down.

Game over - next!!!!!!!!!!!

Goal for yeovil

Goodbye slade . hope fenty takes his clip board to the center and shows Slade his p45 on it

Sack him. For flipping god sake John sack him

Slade out

At least we really made them work to break us down.

1-0 down      bet he brings on another centre half

Don't think I can listen to this any more :B

all of the teams below have games in hand over us its not looking good for the club or slade.

This isn't even funny anymore, Fenty and Slade you are ripping the heart out of this club and you are a flipping disgrace.

Give me a S
Give me a L
Give me a A
Give me a D
E'EEEEEEEEEE

What have we got ...,.... RELEGATION

1-0
Think we all know how tonight is going to go
So Frustrating 😡😡

Quoted from golfer

1-0 down      bet he brings on another centre half

He hasn't got one - a centre half that is!

As starts go, it could've been better

and Lincoln go one up as well

I'm not listening to it but I'm pretty sure we were by far the best team for the first 8 minutes, and looked certain for a brilliant away victory, until the ref ruined everything. We are now having no luck whatsoever despite looking good  and there's no way we deserved to concede 5, especially when the Yeovil keeper was motm. There - you've just heard slade's post match interview 2 hours before he speaks 8)

How can Mr Fenty not say we are in trouble. We are heading for the bottom 2. He’s stuck with this clown, he’s allowed him to sign excrement. How can you not get rid

This could be a drubbing.

Turned radio off heard enough..

I wonder what Mr Fenty is thinking now !

Don't usually get involved in all of the hooliganism on here but unless we somehow turn this around Slade has to go.
SLADE OUT.

Please take the first part of this with a pinch of salt, clearly being sarcastic

Quoted from promotion plaice

I wonder what Mr Fenty is thinking now !

I'll give him til easter

It’s attack v defence at the minute. We look a bit shell shocked and heads have dropped. Opposite to how Luton reacted.

Could be one of the longest match threads in Fishy history. 9 pages in 20 mins!

Quoted from promotion plaice

I wonder what Mr Fenty is thinking now !

It's a f***ing long way home?

It’s a good job we won against  f g r, Chesterfield and Barnet

Quoted from sapper mariner

all of the teams below have games in hand over us its not looking good for the club or slade.

I don't give a t*ss about Slade, he can go and spend his pay off. It's my team I worried about

Feel sorry for the other ten, a long way to travel for F- all

woww

Quoted from Hagrid

Could be one of the longest match threads in Fishy history. 9 pages in 20 mins!

I think there must be more people on here than is actually n the away end!

Ps how about a game of slade post match interview bingo. You win a point for every time he mentions your chosen word. I will start with 'unlucky'

Pi$$ poor yet again I won’t be going any more this season if this carries on, back into non league and probably end up like Hartlepool

Think everything that could go wrong is doing.!

Quoted from ginnywings

Abysmal over the top tackle.

Ta..One has to wonder what goes through their heads

How was this guy managing in the championship a few seasons ago? How the hell did fenty ever think hiring slade was ever going to be a good idea. Why the intercourse am I having to sit right now contemplating the fact there's a good chance I will be watching us play Guisley next season. What a flipping farce

Taxi for the management #SLANTYOUT

Summerfield yellow!

He must be close to a suspension?

We’re getting tonked!!!!!

What else needs to happen for slade to be sacked!?!

If I was Fenty he’d of been gone al long time ago

Can’t believe it’s got this bad

Quoted from Ashby mariner

It’s a good job we won against  f g r, Chesterfield and Barnet

Aye, three six pointers there. Could make all the difference.

Around 100 people signed in and 406 guests on the forum at this precise time. Double the amount in the away end I'm guessing.

Quoted from forza ivano

I think there must be more people on here than is actually n the away end!

Ps how about a game of slade post match interview bingo. You win a point for every time he mentions your chosen word. I will start with 'unlucky'

the sending off changed the game
the lads worked hard
keep working hard
turn the corner
illness has cost me players
we can still make the play offs with a little run in this division ( well ok...maybe being a tad facetious there)

I haven't felt this disheartened about my team since the relegation day to the conference....  and there's still a long way to go to the end of the season... I hold out no hope...my heart is heavy and I'm sick to death of listening to pathetic excuses... enough is enough... our once proud club is on its inevitable slide back into non-league....

Anyone fancy pm me fentys mobile number I want to have a chat

Anyone for a Poojah rant?

The worrying thing (one of them) is that it sounds like the players are trying. That means we must be absolute rubbish. Think I'd prefer to hear he'd lost the dressing room and they weren't trying

Does anyone know where I can get a fire retardant bed sheet from?

Don't want to my Slade Out banner being confiscated for health and safety reasons on Saturday.

Quoted from TwoLeftFeet

Turned radio off heard enough..

Couldn't even bring myself round to turning it on in the first place. 😢

"Couldn't fault the effort, kept it at 1-0 and while it stays like that you always have a chance"

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

Anyone fancy pm me fentys mobile number I want to have a chat

Easy to find through Google although I personally think personal calls etc shouldn't happen. Protest outside the ground and emails is probably the best way.

How hard is this listening to that dross on the radio I'd get more entertainment eating my own legs , wonder if fenty has thought about sacking slade but is seeing how much he can flog dembele and jones for to get some cash together so he can afford to sack him

Win, lose or draw, Slade has to resign or face the sack. Go now while we still have a chance of staying up under the right guidance.

I've been on the fence but enough is enough

SLADE OUT

Quoted from lee65

"Couldn't fault the effort, kept it at 1-0 and while it stays like that you always have a chance"

;D

Under Bignot, the players apparently went to Fenty to get him sacked. Presumably, some of them are still playing for us, so were the intercourse are they hiding now

Look on the bright side Slade has to get sacked tonight then we might get a manager in who knows what the intercourse he's doing and save our season

Terrible referee, awful decision, cost us the game
Unlucky

I'd like to think that Fenty has had a word with any managerial targets that he has, to make sure they have a realistic set of players they'd like to bring in. Or is that being slightly hopeful that he's got a master plan?

Rose OUT!

We need a new manger, we need a new system, we need a new impetus, we need a new vision, we need a new aura of belief, we need a new connect between the board and the fans, we need a new manger/coaching synchronisation, we need a new pragmatic and believable board, we need a new stadium, we need a new Mckeown, we need a new Operation Promotion feeling, we need a new endeavour, we need a new comeback, we need a new comeback against flipping Yeovil, we need a new striker, we need a new faster defence, we need a new PR, we need a new winning streak, we need a new 1-Million payout, we need a new Danny Andrew, we need a new Podge, we need a new togetherness within the team, we need get rid of the deadwood, we need a new left-back, we need a new flipping re-think.  

This is beyond a joke

Its all crystal clear now what Slades unfinished business is

Fk me Summers and Osborne fighting

Yes, yes it is.

2 town players having a square up on the pitch

oohh...in fighting.....shows they care i suppose

Podge equalised for Newport.

Quoted from Henryscat

I've been on the fence but enough is enough

SLADE OUT

Typical cat, sitting on the fence. Bet you've been $hitting in someone else's garden too.

Quoted from moosey_club

shows what they think of eachother

Quoted from golfer

Fk me Summers and Osborne fighting

Osborne booked, Summers "talked to" (lucky to stay on)

No excuse for that!

I hope Russell Slade was able to convey his due diligence on the referee Charles Breakspear (who is setting records for sending people off) to the players, as Mitch Rose does not appear to have listened.

Don't we have history of players fighting each other? Tony Rees?

Am getting murmurings of Rees and Watson at Hartlepool

Tight knit group says slade. 😂

Quoted from denni266

Its all crystal clear now what Slades unfinished business is

I know you n me have crossed swords in the past Denni but that was laugh out loud funny

My other fave so far has been , in response to the question posed, I wonder what fenty is thinking now was the wonderful ' I will give him till easter'
It's a classic night for gallows humour

Quoted from denni266

shows what they think of eachother

protesting too much you mean....they actually love each other ?!?!  ??)

Slade lost the payers weeks ago hence the behaviour , urine poor

Quoted from buckstown

Don't we have history of players fighting each other? Tony Rees?

Barnard and Crane.

POTATO OUT

It’s all falling apart? We’re going to get relegated

No win in 10. 2 goals scored.
Our two better players on the verge of leaving.
Man sent off within 6 minutes.
2 players have a scrap with each other.

The club is behind a joke. Enough is enough now. Fenty has to act. This season has more of an impending doom feeling about it than 09-10.

I feel sorry for every fan that has travelled this evening apart from a Fenty. He can intercourse right off.

We are going to finish this game with 9 men i reckon.

Just remember how long we kept Woods AFTER getting us relegated from the football league.

There’s absolutely no chance Slade will be gone any time soon

We’ll finish the game with 9 men at the rate we’re picking up yellow cards

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Am getting murmurings of Rees and Watson at Hartlepool

We don't want conference players, the York midfield that got relegated are going to do the same to us.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Typical cat, sitting on the fence. Bet you've been $hitting in someone else's garden too.

Me, how?

Not long to go until half time. Slade's team talk and new tactics are bound to revitalise us. When he shouted for more fighting it didn't seem to get the desired effect.

Already down to 10 and 3 of them on yellow cards. If we get three more sent off don't they have to abandon it? I think that must be our best chance.

Quoted from forza ivano

I know you n me have crossed swords in the past Denni but that was laugh out loud funny

No probs m8 and thanks lol.. we all town fans and want the best , just some see things differently  ;)

"Inflammable" Luton losing 2-0 at home.

At least Clifton might get a go second half?

Quoted from ginnywings

"Inflammable" Luton losing 2-0 at home.

They're on a bad run at the moment. With one small exception

Absolutely nothing positive to come out of that first half.  Except Slade's fate must surely be sealed now.

Ref ruined for us no doubt will be the line. If he isnt sacked by saturday i will not be going. Club has my money but they wont be getting any more

In other news, just hearing from the blues and two's some drunken idiot has driven into and wrecked half a dozen cars down Fairbrother St.

As well as been crap we must have one of the worse disciplinary records
Remember the beginning of the season
Three Bookings as well now

Quoted from ginnywings

"Inflammable" Luton losing 2-0 at home.

They're obviously thinking all games are easy having played us with 10 men for an hour.
That'll teach them to be complacent against a normal team

A disgraceful performance even with the red card factored in. We’ve just stopped trying.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

In other news, just hearing from the blues and two's some drunken idiot has drove and wreaked half a dozen cars down Fairbrother St.

Wreaked?

Just remind me, the Yeovil manager is popular with his fans and board, right? No chance that Slade could out-Cardiff himself and sign on the dotted line for Yeovil again, at half time, and plonk himself on the Yeovil bench for the 2nd half?

Just letting my mind wander to nicer places....

Wreaked yeah.
Drove past and shat out the window

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Wreaked?

cheers, sorted.

Quoted from davmariner

A disgraceful performance even with the red card factored in. We’ve just stopped trying.

I don't think we have stopped trying based on the commentary. We're just unadulterated rubbish and badly organised

Did someone say top 7?  ;D

Can't believe what Rose did but in-house fighting the club has become a joke Slade

Osborne fking useless-told him to use a straight left then an uppercut

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Wreaked?

Wreaked havoc?

The Fishy Five are quiet tonight.

8-5 to us on fouls conceded, stay positive 😏

We’re in such a state I had to dig around to find my password to post. It’s so inevitable it’s almost funny. Please intercourse off, John and Russell.

In a bizarre way I'm really enjoying tonight's thread, I haven't laughed as much in ages.  Cheer yourselves up by scrolling back and read posts 24,32,33,36,40,67,68,75,83,110,129, 159  and 173 I dare you not to chuckle! Special mention to rodley and golfer for 2 classics each.Keep em coming boys n girls , I think there's going to be much more material for you in the next hour

Playing rubbish ref not helping but players getting frustrated due to yellow cards for fair tackles, discipline just aboiut gone, doubt we will finish with 10 on the pitch. Good job Yeovil are as bad at finishing as us or it could be 3-4 nil. Every one of their players seems quicker and stronger than ours. Hey you never know we may pull it out of the bag but F@ck orf Slade

Quoted from promotion plaice

The Fishy Five are quiet tonight.

Probably struck dumb and gobsmacked.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...........

Can we have that poll again ?

The GET have definitely given up on the Slade shambles at half time...

Stay tuned...
Will bring you the damning pictures of Town players squabbling between themselves in a couple of minutes...

Quoted from promotion plaice

Momentum

Breathe in...Breathe Out...Breathe in ...Breathe Out....

right....

30 plus minutes with a man down ..... 1 goal conceded quite early after going down to ten before we adjusted...since then hasnt sounded like we have been peppered.
Get them refocussed at half time...deliver the new game plan for the second half......get the home crowd frustrated that they only have 1 goal against ten men to a team that hasnt won in 9 games....

Maybe just maybe.....Wilkes or DJ can come on after 70/80 mins for an exhausted Matt and nick an equaliser on the break...

DJ on for Dixon

Dixon off    Jayoswinga ???? on

Quoted from promotion plaice

The Fishy Five are quiet tonight.

The last I heard from them they were busy building a wicker man.

Ffs I'd snap your hand off if you told me we'd get 3 wins in the 14/15 games we have left  :o
I can't see us getting 1 win in the next 100 the way were going

Quoted from barralad

Ta..One has to wonder what goes through their heads

Fresh air usually

Is Fenty really a fan, would a 'fan' allow the club to sink like this, FENTY OUT!

I think this is turning out to be a good night!

I never want Grimsby to lose a game but it’s quite clear we will lose this one and by all accounts the players are turning on themselves.

That to me sounds like a manager who has lost the players, this will be the straw that breaks the camel‘s back I am confident he will go by the morning

C'mon Town, give it your all.

Quoted from nightrider

Quoted from promotion plaice

3 started, 1 is on the bench and the other is updating his wiki

We might nick a goal.

(Might. probably won't, but might).

I'm not confident a new manager will be able to get slades team winning though
Desperate for 3 points tonight - i cant see us getting anything in Feb. We'll be right in the excrement come March

But we probably did the basics right and deserved 3 points and im a builder. Slade the master man with all his signings that are so excrement if they fell out a flipping boat they’d miss the water.    And mildenhall you can shut the intercourse up as well, you sound the type of muppet to take a team out for ice cream when they lose 10-0 😡😡😡

I’m watching the game, and I can tell you that we look a team that’s given up.

Just looked at live table and most teams below us have one or two games in hand on us
This is getting v v worrying

Quoted from davmariner

I’m watching the game, and I can tell you that we look a team that’s given up.

I'm sat watching thinking exactly the opposite. Home crowd frustrated so far in the 2nd half and we are having a bit of a go. We are shite but they're clearly trying.

Quoted from Hagrid

    And mildenhall you can shut the intercourse up as well, you sound the type of muppet to take a team out for ice cream when they lose 10-0 😡😡😡

yeah but after a 10-0 they arent allowed to have sauce or bits on it

Slade Erection Solutions and Checkatrade: a marriage made in Hell.

We get no-one in forward positions with 11 men, so the chances of us getting enough men forward to score a goal with 10 men is slim.

Rhys Browne on. What's the betting he finishes us off?

Not a lot you can do when you have a player who gets himself sent off after 5 minutes and are a team that cant score or do anything positive. Id leave Rose there, ive seen his tackle, its disgusting

I would make him and slade walk home

Quoted from headingly_mariner

I'm sat watching thinking exactly the opposite. Home crowd frustrated so far in the 2nd half and we are having a bit of a go. We are shite but they're clearly trying.

I don’t feel there’s any hunger, belief or passion that they can get something out of this game. Going through the motions IMO. A PH team would run itself into the ground to get back into the game. Killip is time wasting and we’re losing 1-0!

ffsffs.......

Osborne off, second yellow!

9 men

Red card for Osborne

Down to 9 😂

It was obvious wasn't it? Another sent off and a shambles for sure.

Wow!

Get them all sent off

Bloody Nora

I remember us drawing 1-1 with Rotherham (I think) with 9 players..., mind you we had 9 GOOD players (and actually could've won!)

Osbourn gone now

Quoted from jaygy

We’ll finish the game with 9 men at the rate we’re picking up yellow cards

Called it 😔

Christ.

O dear

Osborne off, second yellow.

Just too flipping drunk off, embarrassed to be a Town fan, ashamed of club and team to comment earlier

He'll be gone by 5pm Saturday, unless of course he flukes a win v Cheltenham and on that basis that dozy twit Fenty gives him another month.

GO NOW you baldy failure and as for you Fenty, if you care about the club just half as much as you fraudulently try to appear, follow him out of BP for good (before you appoint another idiot)

Booked for fighting with his own player and then sent off for a soft second yellow.

You couldn’t make it up, come on Fenty, it is clear that we are falling apart. This is OUR club not yours! Sack the useless xxxx now!

We are a joke. BYE SLADE!!

Absolute farce

Quoted from lee65

I remember us drawing 1-1 with Rotherham (I think) with 9 players..., mind you we had 9 GOOD players (and actually could've won!)

.....and a proper Manager?

Sounds like it was harsh.

What other team can have a player booked for arguing with his own teammate who then gets a 2nd yellow and off?

Anybody want to buy a black and white teapot ?

I'm eying up the National league South now to see which games I can get to next season. Only Truro is a long way off of the teams in the play off positions.

Hampton would be a nice local one.

I hope that every single away supporter, gets their money refunded. This is beyond a fu(king joke now

Quoted from promotion plaice

it was harsh.

Is that you commenting ,or is that your entry into the slade  post match interview bingo?

Nine green bottles hanging on the league........................FFS!!

Crowd sing "you don't know what you're doing"
Fine judges

Wake up Spud. It's OK. Really. The whole thing, all of it, has just been a flipping ridiculous dream.

Well done lads... flippin' brilliant.... there will not be many there on Saturday to see Pell hit a hat trick...  he will have to look hard to find any town fans to take the p1ss out of......  

We can't even lose properly by getting outplayed. We self sabotage just about every game, with stupidity.

The saddest bit is that none of this is a surprise.

Bye bye Slade.. Even Fenty has to act now!

He has to go tonight, we need the "new Manager bounce" whoever it is to;

a) give us half a chance on Saturday

b) give us chance of having half a crowd on Saturday

Quoted from promotion plaice

Sounds like it was harsh.

Harsh. His first booking was for scrapping with a team mate. intercourse him. Our record for discipline this season is an absolute joke.

I do not want to see any shitty twitter messages from any of the players tonight saying ‘we go again’ words mean absolutely nothing. We are screwed. Not even a little bit.

Just intercourse off Slade.

Osborne and Summers on yellows this could get silly.

Capitulation
Fenty, RS has lost the players and will lose us our league status
Act & Act swifly
U should have Given PH what he wanted
Whomever sees us through to the end of the Season cannot do a worse job than what we are witnessing
I will await the news tonight or in the morning
Come on Town!

129 poor town fans..so sorry for them

He’ll say something like “ we showed great character with 9 “

and I thought that good hiding at Braintree was the lowest possible point ever

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

Osborne and Summers on yellows this could get silly.

Osborne on a yellow? Wake up.  ;D

We are 200-1 to win if anyone fancies a cheeky little punt

Like an earlier poster said, Mildenhall was a decent keeper for us, but he's a deluded tosser as a pundit

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

Osborne and Summers on yellows this could get silly.

I've got bad news for you regarding Osbourne.

Quoted from golfer

Useless without any cups 😉

I wonder if Rose and Osborne are having a laugh in the dressing room - glad to be out of it I reckon, bit like the two who got sent off at Gateshead a few years ago.

Rees Brown!

We're building towards turning the corner. It's a process John! I'll remain professional.

2-0. Browne - it just had to be him

Ffs 2-0

Quoted from ginnywings

We get no-one in forward positions with 11 men, so the chances of us getting enough men forward to score a goal with 10 men is slim.

Rhys Browne on. What's the betting he finishes us off?

Yep.

Please be your last 20 mins in management slade you prat

FFS

FFS

Wilks on for Matt.

Slightly late for that don't you think Russ?

ffs (ermm)

I will leave these words with you .

"We do our PR on the pitch"

Not good enough for the town

Rhys Browne doesn't really get a decent crack at GTFC and moves to Yeovil - six goals now
We get Kelly and Woolford

Go figure...

"Grimsby are 2-0 down and really up against it with 9 men"
And the winner of the under statement of the year is.....

I can't wait for the post match interview. Jesus wept.

We have 24 hours until the window closes and then regardless of who is our manager, this squad of players needs to win enough points to keep us up. Scary thought!

3-0

Oh dear 0-3

I love being 2-0 3-0 down with 9 men, the traits of a competent manger.

Oh dear 3-0

This could end up 5 or 6-0 ffs

Well done you fukcin w@nkers....  you don't know how p1ssed off and
ashamed I am to be a town fan...  

Even Fenty can't defend this one! See ya Slade!

Gray gets the third. Come on Yeovil push for a few more in these last 20

trying to remain positive.....i went for 3-3 in the POM....C'mon Town ...the dream is alive !!

He surely is going now ain't he ?  ;D

I hope they add a few more - might force Fenty s hand - although probably not

The Chuckle Brothers are in charge - from me to you, oh 1 down, from me to you, 1 sent off, from me to you, oh 2 off now, from me to you 2 down, from me to you.

Surely he cant? Surely

Fenty should be down at pitch side right now sacking slade in front of the poor traveling fans

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

We have 24 hours until the window closes and then regardless of who is our manager, this squad of players needs to win enough points to keep us up. Scary thought!

This squad can do enough if they are properly motivated and managed but not by the current useless illegitimate. Dave Moore would keep us up, no need for any more useless panic signings we will want rid of come May

700 people on Fishy, so much for the Fishy 5  :)

Anyone with any pride would walk anyway....tells you a lot about the man

oh dear oh dear oh dear......RS at the touchline "go on Harry, now is your chance, grab it with both hands.....go and win the game for us"

Quoted from chicaneuk

I can't wait for the post match interview. Jesus wept.

I'm not going to listen to it

That's right Slade, finally give Clifton his chance...in a destroyed team 3-0 down with 9 men in the most shambolic setup for years.

flipping embarassing, my worry is that if Slade actually gets the sack and god knows it should've happened weeks ago, is that a new man comes in and the transfer window has shut and we have to manage with the shower of shite players we have now until the seasons end  :o

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

What is the record for match threads rob? We have to be getting close. And every post is the same which must be a fishy record! 😂

Godsake make Slade walk home...

Bet you now Slade will be in charge Saturday
It will seem like fan power if he goes - Fenty won't want that

Bang average journeyman manager way past his sell by date
Bang average squad packed with players on their way down

Said we looked like a relegation team when we lost at Stevenage - nothing inspired me and I could see nothing that would change things

Might watch Wembley May 2016 - but it will depress me too much

That's out of order putting Clifton on in these circumstances

Now 860+  on the fishy.....

They are only shite due to Slade's management, there are some totally useless twits but play the right players, in the right positions, get the lads behind the manager and we'll survive.

The bald one clearing his desk at 1am tomorrow will boost the morale in the team straight away

Feel for Clifton
Typical of a conservative manager - only plays him when situation is lost

Could Clifton be possibly worse than any of our midfield (other than Summerfield)?

Quoted from Ipswin

100% agree

I glanced at my phone when the score was 0-1. I hadnt realised we had already had a man sent off but already 15 minutes into the game i had given up any hope of Town getting back into it.

This is what it has been reduced to. Having no hope or faith in the team/manager to turn things around. We are being turned over by mediocre sides. Things have totally unravelled now.

This latest unfolding disaster simply reflects the season to date and in particular the last 2 months.

The board need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Their lack of action has now pushed Town to the brink of relegation. They must see what we the fans are seeing. A team bereft of ideas...a manager bereft of ideas. The signs are there....this unfortunately has only 1 outcome unless they act NOW!!!!!!!!!!

I think many of the 600 guests will be other league 2 fans laughing their socks off at our expense and incompetence.
I like reading Luton Outlaws when theyre doing badly

Said just a few weeks ago to those still looking at a play-offs charge that the -8 goal difference would not be turned around with the current form. Now -15 and January not quite gone.

Sackable by itself.

im in for a shite day at work tomorrow.at least i wont be seeing this non effort.my day could be made better.remember Cardiff slade.well stay at yeovil tomorrow

The judus  did the dirty on us to go to Yeovil, it would be ironic if Yeovil finished him this time round.

What a shitstorm January feck off and take Slade and Fenty with you before the window closes some fecker throw Slade out of it.

Probably weren't. Made from some leftover scraps of pig iron and spoggy.

The Fishy might implode with excess use.

Example of Fenty's judgement quality that he could use in selecting a new manager.  He was put out that the Fans Forum was not held before the 3 consecutive league wins. He wanted a bigger challenge at the forum.

The man is totally deluded.  

Btw, what are league wins I have long since forgotten?

I hope he never gets asked again

Note that Swansea were adrift by a distance a month ago. Sack the manager, appoint Carvalho (who was sacked by the massives) and tonight they are out of the bottom three

Get Matt Dean on Concord so that he can do the post match interview.

Only Grimsby could sack a manager on deadline day... new guy will have no chance to bring players in. We’re copulated.

Quoted from MrsMariner

Sherwood ? why bring him in to it !

I think he has to take his share of the blame.., it's that kind of night  ;)

I'm excrement scared that as soon as the bald twit goes Fenty is going to have yet another knee-jerk reaction and appoint some other useless fornicator before Saturday.
I just hope he takes his time (and seeks the advice of someone who has a modicum of knowledge and sense) before appointing a new man.
There is no rush, we have to go with what we have got player-wise now
Give it to Dave Moore for the rest of the season and watch things change!

FT 3-0

Chill going down my spine

Sorry meant Mildenhall I have clearly lost the plot. Sound familiar?

I have no confidence in JF making even a half decent decision on anything football related.

Can’t believe you have brought that young lad on at 3-0 Down and 9 men
What the hell
You’re an idiot RS

Quoted from lee65

flipping right too. If he didn't play his part getting us up to the Second Division we wouldn't be so spoiled now and have inflated expectations. FFS, fancy expecting to see competence in a team!

Wonder what "positives" Slade will grasp at.

Well thanks for all the entertainment folks. An absolutely classic thread. I can't wait for the post match interview, it'll be a ripper!

You lose trust Russ you lose trust.

Quoted from GrimRob

Wonder what "positives" Slade will grasp at.

The weather's a lot milder this evening.

Well...as a stand alone result i think it has to be dismissed...having two players sent off in our current form left us absolutley zero chance.....however the previous 9 results, general form, goals for and against and more importantly current position cant be dismissed....someone should be however.

Only 3? Shame I was hoping for a real good hiding, I just hope 3 is enough to get Fenty to act. Slade of course will play the 'down to 9 men' card amongst other old excuses.

Great performance from the lads tonight losing 3-0 Yeovil, 70% of national league sides would do better than that

BBC has us down as 1 shot on target.  Not all bad then?

Quoted from Ipswin

Good, sensible post Ipswin.  The players we have can achieve safety with Dave Moore, don't waste money now!

IF he gets fired, could a new man make loan signings?

Can't wait for the next game, can we make it 3 red cards?!

To top it all off, Simon flipping Clark doing the post game on humberside. Shut up you helmet.

Shitty, underperforming teams must be looking at the fixture list and seeing when they play us to get their form back. We are such an easy three points, it's frightening. Every tin pot side in the league is taking points from us now.

Relax Mildenhall says he knows Russ and he will keep us up. What a relief

FENTY & SLADE OUT!

I think it depends on whether Fenty has had the balls to get rid of Slade (he probably won't as he would see it as his failure and reacting to the fans point of view - neither of which he has never and will never do - he is completely blameless and perfect don't forget)

If Slade has gone I hope the ground is packed to bursting to support the team and (hopefully) the caretaker manager Dave Moore

If Slade is still there I hope the only attendees are the 17 away fans (and yes I think we should bully people not to go!)

Slade's last game in first spell - Cheltenham
Slade's last game in second spell?

I know it would be one game too many but could be karma?

Barry on humberside phone in ... bang on !
Fuk off slade, fuk off fenty

Good "rant" by Barry on RH

How many Grimsby fans made that trip?

Fair play to every single one of them.

If what he says happens vis a vis Fenty and the loans, then I will retract all my defence of him about being a man of integrity, I will appeal for him to be investigated for malfeasance if that happens.

Quoted from AndyDarloFC

Sorry, should've made it clear that I meant as a temporary measure, maybe until the end of the season. Ben Davies has got some interesting qualities, whilst there are potentially interesting candidates such as the Boston or York managers who might come into play in the summer

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Was a damned good game and a great atmosphere

Strewth! Some people will red cross anything. I doubt even a Cambridge fan there that night would disagree with my statement.

Well where do we go from this, I haven't got a clue how Slade keeps his job. Is it because he's Fenty's best mate or does Fenty think he'll lead us to the play off final in his 2nd season with us like he did 12 years ago? Well I bet he won't lead us to the play off final even if it's the National League ( dread to think)

Last season Slade got removed as manager by 3 clubs, 3 clubs in just one season! Slade used to be a respectable decent manager in the lower leagues but these last couple of years he's gone to being one of the worst, what has happened? He was supposed to be a shrewd transfer window operator but yet he gave dross like Kelly Hooper Cardwell and Dixon 2 year deals after waiting all window to sign them. It's obvious that in the summer a lot of Slade original targets knocked him back, 1 or 2 yes but when it's a lot of them that probably means he was setting his sights too high which is Slade's fault as a man of his experience should know who to target. We had a lot of trialists in the summer which is always concerning. His tactics need no words, I think we can all see the problems there.

We move on to his recruitment of staff.
Paul Wilkinson, popular choice at the time but it's not really working out is it, he's mainly been a coach in youth football and his last stint as assistant manager was a failure at Northampton Town. With a few rumours surfacing recently that him and Slade don't get on I do wonder if it was Fenty's choice to appease the fans who were unhappy with Slade's re-appointment?

Greg Howard local lad who does the sports science side of things but more often than not I've seen him picking up cones whilst Wilkinson just stands there, is he underappreciated by the management team?

Asser Lutu head of analysis who was head of analysis at Dagenham and Redbridge when they were relegated, at Birmingham who finished very low in the championship and more recently a team in Qatar who got relegated, not exactly a glowing track record is it, especially as he might have another relegation on his record!

We have a massive squad with over 30 players and most of them now are Slade's signings, not to mention a totally unbalanced team with little ability. I do think the players are trying but there is no connection to them like we had with the promotion winning squad and with Osbourne and Summerfield fighting last night that is evidence of a fractured dressing room?

Still waiting for these quality signings coming in, if Slade and the board thinks Kean Vernam and Wilks are quality signings then they must be deluded, Kean looks cack, Vernam looks talented but he can't carry us all, Wilks looks like he may be decent but will it be enough? I find it ridiculous how we have not signed another left back as Dixon is not good enough and what if we get a long term injury in full back position? We'll be very short and may have to rely on Round pegs in square holes.

I firmly believe we are in a relegation battle, 9 points seems decent enough but look at the last 10 games, we have picked up only 3 points, with other teams having games in hand on us and if we go a further 5 or 6 games only getting 2 or 3 points that gap can easily be cut to a matter of points and if we do go down we will be in there for much longer than last time I fear.

I am not Fenty's biggest fan but with over 30 pro's on the books we must have a sizeable budget? Which is my concern, a sizeable budget this season not backed up with good attendances and with season ticket sales almost certainly halved for next season, the budget next season will be very very low so I hope we have a manager who can work with a limited budget!

Act now please John because Slade will take us down and you'll be run out of town if that happens.

Slade just retire because you are finished as a manager surely now.

Quoted from Davec

Well I bet he won't lead us to the play off final even if it's the National League ( dread to think)

We keep him because he has unequivocal support, the board have backed him, the board have allowed him to bring even more players in...they (JF) wont want the egg on his face now of having to sack him.

We move on to his recruitment of staff.

i am certain that it was us (JF) who put this pair together, definately not Slades choice. In one of the early press conferences , if not the very first, it was clear they had been brought together and had only come across each other in the past, definately not an existing friendship, working relationship or partnership.

Greg Howard local lad who does the sports science side of things but more often than not I've seen him picking up cones whilst Wilkinson just stands there, is he underappreciated by the management team?

Asser Lutu head of analysis who was head of analysis at Dagenham and Redbridge when they were relegated, at Birmingham who finished very low in the championship and more recently a team in Qatar who got relegated, not exactly a glowing track record is it, especially as he might have another relegation on his record!

he is there to produce stats for RS....he is just gathering the stats that RS identifies as important....whether that be distance covered...positional discipline, passes completed, tackles made, possesion lost.....cant really be held responsible for anything in my opinion. Just a data guy ?


We have a massive squad with over 30 players and most of them now are Slade's signings, not to mention a totally unbalanced team with little ability. I do think the players are trying but there is no connection to them like we had with the promotion winning squad and with Osbourne and Summerfield fighting last night that is evidence of a fractured dressing room?

Obviously Slade has tried to offload a few and has got rid of Osbourn & Tombola but Clements and Asante were returned as they didnt work out at their loans.  He is still trying to offload some outside of the "18" ....which i dont see as being Jones or Dembele as many seem to think are done deals elsewhere. Unbalanced...very....Bignot this time last year set the scene for this with having around 8/9 centre midfielders which has had a knock on effect to Slade...but unfortunately he has now 8/9 strikers on the books instead and still without a decent supply line.

Still waiting for these quality signings coming in, if Slade and the board thinks Kean Vernam and Wilks are quality signings then they must be deluded, Kean looks cack, Vernam looks talented but he can't carry us all, Wilks looks like he may be decent but will it be enough? I find it ridiculous how we have not signed another left back as Dixon is not good enough and what if we get a long term injury in full back position? We'll be very short and may have to rely on Round pegs in square holes.

Never expected any quality signings in January as that equates to spending money, what we have is the best we can hope for.  Last night showed how short defensively we are, not a defender available on the bench and all we have is one injury FFS. Now we have a suspension to deal with too.  

I firmly believe we are in a relegation battle, 9 points seems decent enough but look at the last 10 games, we have picked up only 3 points, with other teams having games in hand on us and if we go a further 5 or 6 games only getting 2 or 3 points that gap can easily be cut to a matter of points and if we do go down we will be in there for much longer than last time I fear.

3 wins in last 17 games i think.....terrible stat, terrible form...only heading one way for sure, definately dependant on those below us not improving on our results raher than ourselves digging our own way out.

I am not Fenty's biggest fan but with over 30 pro's on the books we must have a sizeable budget? Which is my concern, a sizeable budget this season not backed up with good attendances and with season ticket sales almost certainly halved for next season, the budget next season will be very very low so I hope we have a manager who can work with a limited budget!

Pretty sure given we had similar number of pro's last season and that was identified as an issue between JF/ MB that it was stated this season we would have a smaller quality squad.....while RS has relied heavily on a core of 16/18 players we have used around 27 players from my memory and have had around 35 listed first teamers this season.  That is a huge number of players we have been paying for doing absolutely nothing...is that RS's fault or should the board also share some of that for letting RS "waste" budget. Next seasons ST sales wont be an issue....dont forget we will have forgotten all about this season by the time they eventually go on sale in August and if England win the World Cup then the feelgood factor will see record numbers snapping up the increased price ST's  ;)
