    We really are painful to watch, when will we get a decent team again, its embarassing, you see a half decent team on the telly and realise we are a million miles away from walking any league and have a poor squad that is simply bang average for the league we are in.

    Same old same old not even donaldson and Vaughan can paper over the cracks.

    you know, I haven't really watched much L2 stuff, so I didn't know what to expect. The sad thing is, that after having watched two games of it, I realise that it's pretty much the same standard that we play. At times, the oppo look even more fluid than we do. I didn't expect us to walk it this season, but I was certainly hoping that our higher league experience would stand us with at least some hope of being better than the teams we are playing.

    I haven't written anything off either. All I'm saying is, that if we want to be in the mix, then we've got to be playing a lot better than we currently are. Definitely need some new additions. 433 doesnt work. Tell that to Rupp. Tell him we need a winger and a midfielder.
    As mentioned earlier, Bowyers record is not exactly great (15% win rate atm), so I think he needs to pick his game up also.

    A feckin targetman shipped out to the left, just to accommodate a lousy 4-3-3 formation? Give your head a shake....!

    Defence stood up well to the aerial onslaught. Think there are bigger issues here like the midfield

    What’s with all this 4-3-3 talk? We haven’t played it once yet this season. It’s a 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2 diamond. Doyle has hardly been close to front two

    Repeating what I've said before but I've not seen him doing the basics right yet, I've seen a lot of turning into players. Doyles first pass against Grimsby summed it up, simple 10 yard pass into Vaughans feet and he played it straight to the Grimsby lads feet.

    I want him to do well I just don't think he's going to improve regardless of where he plays. I don't think he would contribute enough to the overall team effort for him to stand in the area all game.

    Even when he does turn with the ball he's caught within five yards. I'm like you, i want the lad to succeed but struggle to see what he offers.

    If the candidate has a pulse he’s already has potential...

    We're lucky we usually go with The Corn Dolly, Andy just sent me a text saying 9 departure instead of 9:30 ;).

    I remember city fans taunting Grimsby fans
    with a song about "only sing when your fishing",
    due to their quiet demeanour.Then at one point,
    with nothing going on during match,they all started
    cheering in that odd ball elevated stand to left of
    away end and I assumed someone had caught a fish...

    Blundell Park is the lowest ground in the Football League at less than 1 metre above sea level; after that, the only way is up.

    Our penultimate away league match will see us make our first visit to the New Lawn (Forest Green Rovers) which, at 165 metres above sea level, is the second highest ground in the Football League.

    Purchased 3 bring on the first away day of the season.
    Looking forward to the rust shower when the ball hit's the roof of the away end.
