Can anyone remember, without looking it up, when we last won three league games on the trot.


The playoff run in.

It does not matter who we play. If we keep giving the ball away and missing our chances.

We have to improve and do it fast to stand a chance.

Come on town you can do it !!!

Can't see how we go down.  Sutton have had a good run, but they're too bad to keep it up for another 5 games. Colchester haven't had a bounce at all, and have tough games.

We're awful, no doubt about it. But expecting teams below us to start beating everyone is unrealistic, they're below us because they’re even worse. We'll pick up points against worse teams than the last 2 games and scrape through.

If we do stay up we will probably be relegation favourites next season.

That was the thinking most of us had about Stevenage when they were swimming around the L2 drop zone regularly and we all know where they are now,it's all down to a good manager and no denying love him or hate him Steve Evans is a good manager at this level.

Yeah definitely it's not a death sentence. Next season is going to have quite a different feel with matches spread across the weekend. Even less away fans at BP and probably fewer home in a lot of games too. Going down will mean 3pm Saturday will stay the norm.

This is the reality of us so often being in this position.

Despite a lot of us remembering happier times the whole football world sees us as perennial strugglers who can't even make an impression in league 2.

Most agents, all current players and a lot of opposition fans have seen nothing but a Grimsby struggle to avoid non league, or struggling to get back.

It must severely inhibit our ability to attract players and sponsors and everything else which makes it more likely the struggles will continue so it's like a self fulfilling prophesy.

We must break the cycle somehow, and probably that needs an injection of money from somewhere even if the end game is to be sustainable.
