I think the next 7 days will be pivotal in our season.

We have until Wednesday to get some proper talent and experience into our squad.
We need to make sure any outgoings are not essential to our survival.

We need to hope Harrogate beat Sutton on Tuesday. Sutton have signed some decent players and have turned around their previous trend

We need to show some bottle and get something next Saturday at Accrington.

We need Colchester to beat FGR……I think they will
We need Doncaster to get at least a draw at Sutton……I think they won’t

If we fail to get the outcomes we want in next seven days, prepare for meltdown…..

Getting on for halfway through the week and nothing to help clear the fog.

Minor point, but we’ve got until 11pm on Thursday to sign players haven’t we?

Apologies. It is indeed 11 pm on Thursday, unless you are referring to Portugal, Switzerland or UAE, who are later.
There are also other countries in UEFA which are sooner, which I find rather odd.

Don't think other it will bother us too much Ilkley. We won't be signing players from abroad

Everything will be last minute as usuall. and probably not what we either need or want

How can it be last minute when we've signed 3 already. Talk about living in a dreamworld

They are a starter though. We're still waiting for the main course. I'd like a dessert as well.

We have a 1 or 2 out of 10 hit rate in the January window so I'm not expecting any miracles in the next 48 hours tbh , it's going to be upto big Dave to get the best out of the majority he has got now - let's hope it's enough .

Don't think we signed anyone on the last day of the summer window (and isn't the season going well?)

Yet to be convinced about the three we have signed.
If we were mid table we could afford to develop them.
We are on life support and need experienced warriors

Well of course you are. They've played 1 game and only 2 of them have scored. Shocking

I like your optimism…..

Happy with the three we signed this week.
Amos probably will chose non league and be allowed to go.
Miche off on his winter holidays to Highlands of Scotland.
Need Sutton and FGR to flop tomorrow

Just need a win or a good performance and a draw from us and we could be looking upwards

However….

Well , overall think it was a good week for Mariners

New signings played well and look a cut above what we had before.

Sutton use two games for one point.
Three other bottom feeders fail to win.

But even more importantly Town looked energised, skilful, and pacy. Played well and could well have come away with all three points and a clean sheet.

Next game will be tough, but soon followed by Colchester, Donny and FGR.

This time next month the relegation picture could seem a whole lot clearer…
