Just remember last season we started great....all good unbeatable even if we drew some ....same this season ....Will the bottom fall out our world like it did last year ....could make a big difference them 2 to 2 1/2 months we was shite to where we end up
I can’t see it. Until extra time in the playoffs we were essentially a one man team last season. Of that rubbish run (2 wins in 14 in all competitions) had McAtee unavailable for 10 of them. We were better from when he got injured at King’s Lynn but still chucked in some rubbish results at Barnet and home to Maidenhead. This season, Hursty has successfully upgraded the rest of the squad so we’re not even remotely reliant upon him, the only game we’ve lost was the one he played in. The only positions we’re exposed to an injury is GK and ST. We don’t have a natural replacement for Taylor and I dare say Battersby isn’t ready for a run as a L2 keeper yet. There will of course be a dodgy run somewhere and players will lose form and get injured or suspended but we’re better equipped to deal with those this season.

Stick double figures past Scunny and you can have a biscuit.
Notts have a nasty habit of flipping it up against bottom clubs,it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we lost to them tbh

I want to not be looking over our shoulders. I would like to get to the end of the season with an effective alternative to the departing McAtee rather than relying on that person coming in next summer.
Discipline, team spirit and a will to win means anything is possible.
Worth remembering that we’re 5 unbeaten without McAtee. We couldn’t manage without him last year.

Put money on Town at the start of the season for automatic promotion and still think the same.
|
| 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 |

Every dog has its day though Poojar and it's usually against Notts,if the game is on TV then it's a recipe for disaster (TBF that's unlikely though )

In an alternate universe, Rochdale take their chances (I know there is some conjecture about the number of chances but being there, sat whimpering behind Stevie Crowdson, it felt like a mauling without the kill for 30/40 mins) and we’re bottom after 3 matches with one point.
The Sutton bore draw still follows (we could have played each other until Windrush Britons receive their compensation…and it would still be 0-0) The Fishy, Denni and the fans get restless and we then lose expectedly at Walsall and Newport.
So…enjoy where we currently are. We can push on but if we don’t I won’t cry into my haddocky scraps (I still think we’ll finish lower mid-table but I’m a happy chappy).
We have incredible fans for a town(s) of our size, a great management team and promising owners.
Hurst has a squad that appear to have more technical ability and tactical flexibility than two days ago. If we maintain the incredible work ethic and attitude of the promotion squad then we may make the playoffs.
All I ask as a fan is a management team, players and squad who try their best [snowflake]. For the past 18 months I’ve had that.
Shaun Pearson didn’t even make the squad today but I bet he was spinning his salty, stiff sail like Waltham Windmill both pre and post match.
Team spirit will only get you so far but it goes a hell of a long way at this level.
