I back Hurst to keep us up still but I'll be seriously questioning his judgement if Green starts the next match. Even if we don't bring any strikers in.
It's alright picking a system to try and get a result, but its no use if you don't have (or select) the players to be able to play it. Even if you're going to start Green, if it's as a lone striker then we might as well have had an extra defender instead and played 5-5-0.

I was amazed and honestly gobsmacked when he started with him yesterday. Hurst said he had seen the team for the last few weeks, and of course he saw him first hand last week yet he still started. Baffling. Surely he should have gone with say Gibson or at least anybody who is going to try to take part in the match. I don't want Green to play for us again. I agree we would actually be better starting with 10 men.

A big part of that form is that they’ve beaten Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Barrow...we’ve beaten Scunthorpe and Barrow. It’s a season defining game, coming back from a defeat against them will be very difficult. PH needs to earn his corn, watch the videos, polish the turd and hope Southend slip on it...
And do you really think Hurst can manage that for this Saturday. I don’t, he will in the next few matches but not for this one I fear.

If Hurst doesn't manage to get anyone through the door. It has to be: Macca Hendrie Waterfall Pollock Habergham Hewitt Spokes Morais Bennett Wright Gibson
Holding midfield 2 of Spokes and Hewitt will give protection to rocky back 4 and importantly they have bundles of energy.
Let the front 4 stay as high as possible and hit on the counter.

And what qualifications and experience of managing a football team (not a Sunday League team), do you have that makes you think you know better than PH? I am really amazed at all the moaning already, PH has only been here two weeks, FFS we still have half a season to go! Proper supporters of GTFC stand up and #back Paul.

I would drop Macca for a start. Too many comedy goals. It must really impact the confidence of the back 4 knowing that any shot on target has a great chance of going in. It's not as if he commands his area or distributes the ball well. I would bring Russell in.
The Waterfall/Pollock pairing needs breaking up. It is abysmal. Hewitt played well there a few games ago so I would start him there unless we sign a new CB.
We may as well try Gibson in place of Green, but we really need new strikers asap.
Start with Wright, obviously. Moralis too. But I think we need two new midfield players this week too.
Russell
Hendrie Waterfall Hewitt Habergham
Moralis New New Wright
New New
We can but hope.

Though Green is not up to it he's not the only one though is he? I wouldn't be that bothered never to see Williams, Rose and Bennet pull on a Town shirt again, I notice Tilley wasn't selected yesterday that may confirm the suspicion that he's a complete fanny as well.

I would go with:
Macca Hendrie New CB New CB Habergham Morais New CM Clifton Wright New CF New CF
Pollock needs a rest that's why he's out for me.
I would play Hewitt CB + another every game. When Hewitt has played CB he's looked better than anything we have.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

Those four senior players (Green, Bennett, Williams and Rose) have been absolutely atrocious given their pedigree. To some extent Green should not be considered in the same category as I think he's simply past it. Why the other three have been so woeful is a complete conundrum.

Yes, I think most of us feel that way. He brings pace to the back 4. I guess the problem is that we have sodomist all in midfield at the moment so he has to play there. If we do get a new midfielder this week then releasing Hewitt to play in the back 4 would be a bonus.
