So a player who scored 3 in 18 in the Conference North and a couple of minutes at Barnsley. Hmmmm!
I'm not knocking Oates, but to expect him to be any better than what we've got (or let go last season)? Nah, I can't go for that.

In what way is it like Paterson?
Young striker that I haven't heard of at a bigger club coming in on loan. That's about it.

FFS... Give the man a break Hurst as tried to address the problems let's give him and them a chance it can't be easy to get decent players to come to a non league outfit. The negativity on here boarders on pathetic.

If we had signed the young lad for the future and given him a 2 year contract we would have said a good signing , he could turn out to be just what we want, BUT We have only got him for a month, Did Hurst try and get an experience player in like Holman or Gash ? If he did and they turned us down then fair do's, BUT If he didn't, why not ?

Perhaps you could explain exactly why it can't have been easy for the manager to sign up a decent striker. Before the season even began and before we got into this mess he also found it "not easy". Yet as I understand it, JF said we have the money available. I keep asking this question but why do strikers apparently not want to come here? I don't think there is negativity, just puzzlement. The more puzzled we get the more we start to think it has something to do with the management rather than the club or the town.

Who are you asking Pete ? Only i'm pretty sure no one on here (with one exception , and i dont suppose he is gonna tell( why would he)), will have a clue . Despite our perceived view of our superior knowledge of all things football )

You might ask why we had the problems in the first place? Hurst's history at bringing in/keeping strikers is hardly brilliant is it. Hearn is about the only one everyone can agree was a success. Everyone else has been either: (a) moved on (b) not deemed good enough to be picked on a consistent basis (c) let's say, at best of limited success (d) got a history of long-term injury

Players don't want to come to Grimsby. They might not want it on their CV that they've had to drop a division or two to go somewhere perceived as an outpost of football. It might be a lot of travelling as well or mean staying away from home. I remember a few years ago we had a loan player (forgotten which) who after he returned to his parent club said words to the effect that "you know your career's in trouble when you're sent on loan to Grimsby".

Players don't want to come to Grimsby.
And yet we've had about a thousand of them over the last decade!
