This thread should be deleted! Withdraw from the Play Offs!?!? What the heck is wrong with people?!!? We have 9 points this week, , scored 5 and conceded a wonder goal, , yes the home games haven't been enthralling affairs but we are WINNING and have 10 more games to go and not many of them are going to be all that entertaining but let's just get out of this league and be entertained in Lg2

I was watching Makreth today from the Upper as he was right in front of me for the first half. What  i noticed was that he always had half an eye on his defensive duties. Never really committed himself to go forward unless we were high up the pitch and never gambled to get behind the full back. He was never at any stage goalside of the full back. A couple of times when the play was on the other wing, he never even ventured forward at all, despite the fact that the ball may have found it's way over to his side of the goal and give him a chance to score or deliver the ball back into the mix. That must come from instruction. It's like he was playing with shackles on.

RRFC is right. It's not about entertainment as such, it's about goalscoring and whatever way we play, we just don't do enough of it. Very rarely do we get ourselves into a comfortable position where we can give fringe players a run out and rest key players. Most substitutions are trying to make things happen that should have happened earlier in the game

Doubt many will see it as such. I'll probably be labelled a doom-monger.

True enough. But if you take away those two whopping wins in early season the comparison isn't quite so good is it?



That's right, if you do that, we have very similar goals scored. Especially if you remove their two highest scoring games too.

Personally I thng PH has too much of a pragmatic approach to the game, relying on percentage football much in the same way as Slade did. As a purist, I can't abide it, but it didn't stop me going mental when Kalala scored, nor will it stop me aching for us to get promotion playing that way. I'd just prefer there to be another way of doing it. However I'm not the manager so it doesn't matter one bit what I think, or, as a fan of 40+ years, does it???


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

But it does, because you pay their wages when you walk through the turnstile. Yes, promotion is achievable, but I think we can all see that some players attacking instincts are being stifled, indeed, it's one reason one player left.

I'd leve to see the evidence for that last comment.....


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

But there's got to be a balance. You look at any winger in any league playing 442 and they have to do their defensive duties. If you really want to analyse how many players we commit forward you could look at how often the central midfielders get beyond the strikers. I'd like to see us do this more but the winning goals today and against Barnet have come from Disley doing this so it's obviously something we're working on.

Not for me. I understand some are happy with "the end justifies the Means" approach but i'd like to see a bit of skill and flair now and again.

What i am seeing regularly at BP is not the game i fell in love with and got me so enthused that i couldn't wait for the next home game.

All about opinions i know but there are lots of stayaways that i know who have voted with their feet.


The end justifying the means is all very honourable, but IF we go up by this means, what about the next season...? If it's as turgid as this season, we may as well be down here where the away fans are nice, the beer better and there are some actually nice places to go..

intercourse the fact that the prize money is massively better in L2, I for one don't really care for the financial stats. All I want to see is GTFC entertaining me with good football, goals and cup runs and a feeling of superiority on our close neighbours.

Do I get a feeling of superiority from a healthy balance sheet? No.

Do I get a feeling of superiority from us beating teams by lots of goals and exciting football. Yes.

Does it matter what division I see that in? A bit, maybe. But we're historically a L1. L2 Yoyo club anyway. Yeah, I'd be happy to get there again but realistically it's a while away judging from this last few months performances.

Dunno what that all means.

Hurst out, promotion isn't good enough for Grimsby Town fans. Our history and size of the club automatically means that we should be demolishing every team in this league and we shouldn't need to earn the right to play league football.


The thing is promotion is more than good enough for Grimsby town fans.

Have we been promoted ?

answer is NO.
