Not many teams at this level stay loyal to the manager like we have obviously very early but can't see FGR losing many games this season so already uphill battle

Why can't you see them losing games. They will be just as likely as anyone to have some bad luck, off days, decisions against them, injuries, loss of form, winter conditions. Plenty of reasons why they will drop points.

They'll start dropping points in a few weeks when their players have become anaemic from their enforced veggie diet  .

I think I'm right in saying we already have more points than at the same stage last season. Admittedly we are playing catch up but it is very silly to predict that the teams above us and at the top won't drop points. Once we got into our stride last season we became real contenders and it was only two or three disappointing results in the last third of the season that set us back. Yesterdays shows that the squad have true battling qualities .  It takes real character to go a goal down, be reduced to 10 men and still come back with a point away from home in a derby match. I'm confident that we will achieve our goal of promotion this season but there will be set-backs, we just need to ride these out and keep the faith. UTM

Exactly the same. W2 D3 L1.

We scored 13 goals last season on August bank holiday and we were going to storm the league.

Our 6th game last season was away at Aldershot. We dominated the first 30 mins before Lenny was sent off and we lost 2-1. Sounds familiar.

Totally agree with this,  I don't think it's time to panic at all l, I've been to 4 out of the 6 we've played so far and yes we should have maybe won them all but from the football I've witnessed we have nothing to worry about, we just need to get the settled side and stop making the silly mistakes (lapses in defence) and we'll be fine, I'd rather get them ironed out now in the season, a win tomorrow and we'll be ok, we have to keep the faith.


Grimsby and proud!

But we did not lose yesterday Ginny,

So that's an improvement,

Keep the faith.!

I think if you took a straw poll on here there would be quite a few who would go with that option

Imho there is no manager guaranteed to deliver automatic promotion but some out there seem to think there is...just wonder who it may be?


Regarding sack the manager and straw poll results, am I dreaming but a packed stand of Grimsby  supporters stood as one and clapped and cheered the manager when he came over after the match to applaud our support, {first time he`s done that I think} obviously for the sake of bias they would have to be omitted from any straw poll

Spin it how you like yesterday was a moral victory for the Town, pity Disleys half volley was saved by their MOM Farman we deserved all three points, lets start an unbeaten run going tomorrow and see where it takes us
