    Terrible performance and not for the first time I'm having flashbacks to performances under Bowyer when we were scraping wins without really deserving it.

    Formation didn't work, Evans and Clarke in the centre of the park is a no. Both are fortunate to even be getting any game time.

    A constant inability to take the game to our opponents is a real worry for me.

    Honestly we are a poor side.

    I'll take the 3 points but this has been one poor display.

    Sorry to piss on your fire guys but yes more than happy to get 3 points from every remaing game even watching 7 more dire displays like yesterday and I'm dead serious, I'd take our chance in the play offs.

    That was poor, but we need to be taking this lot to the shed now.

    None of this 'oh they've picked up a bit and started getting draws so it'll be a hard game' bollocks. No. If we want to be winners we need to build a bit of arrogance and expect to dick teams like this, especially in these situations. Throw and extra forward ok and let's destroy em.


    The fact I have a tenner on 3-0 City is nothing to do with it.

    Nobody can say we are fluent at the moment but we are very hard to beat as we have been since T&S have taken over and we are getting results and with one transfer window it’s a very good achievement being where we are

    Absolutely bang on. Paudie and Canavan are getting an easy ride compared to some. They lose far too much aerialy for two big lads and imo should be a bit more dominant at times.

    What tosh.
    Donaldson is the only player we have who holds the ball up under pressure and he gets us going forwards more than most of the others.
    If others had his vision and pass completion we'd be playing a lot better.

    Just trying to add a little positivity to the thread mate, we won yesterday and under T&S we have picked up a phenomenal amount of points why cant it continue.
    We have to look beyond the next 7 games, if we could get to the play offs and get promoted (yes I'm probably dreaming) just imagine what that would mean to next season, league one football hopefully fans back in stadia I couldn't think of a better thing for us fans to focus on.

    We haven't got the players to suit the system either. FCD is still learning the right back role and to ask him to play as a wing back when he clearly doesn't have the tools is unfair on the lad and not great overall for the team.

    I realise we're down to the bare bones but surely that's even more reason to try and keep the players in a familiar role.

    Have to be looking at wins every game now, draws are no good. Ideally we could do with being in a playoff spot after the next 3 or 4 games.

    So, am I the only person that enjoyed that?
    • We are now mathmatically safe, after the dire position we were in just 4 months ago.
    • We won today.
    • We are just 3 points behind the play offs and just 5 points behind 5th place Morecambe, with a game in hand and a match against them to come.
    • Our managers have got 45 points from 23 matches and a win percentage of 56.5%, the best of any City manager in our history.
    Yes, it wasn't a great performance, our managers know that but, at this stage of the season, chasing a possible play off spot, the result is what counts.

    Are you suggesting you'd sit through another 90+ minutes of that on Tuesday night for the sake of 3 points.....





















































    yep I'm with you ;).

    They are the worst professional side in the country down to ten men, how many chances did you expect them to make? Don't make excuses for yesterday's performance, we might have got three points but that was unacceptable and I hope the managers realise that. Poorest performance by some margin since they took over from McCall. Hopefully Callum Cooke and Levi Sutton come back because without them we are just another average league 2 side riding their luck.

    Good point Park. As I understand Grimsby were unbeaten in 8 coming into yesterday and we won. Yes, a poor game but we won, the records show 3 points.
    Some on here talking about luck, we don't get much e.g. cruising at Newport then the free kick that never was and 3 minutes added to the 4 indicated cost us 3 points, same ref at FGR played over the added time, cost us 2 points. All teams can say similar I'm sure but when we get good fortune we shouldn't do anything but say "about time" and take it with a smile.

    Now it’s been a long time since I played, but from what I remember, if the ball comes into the box, you clear it unless you hear the cry of “keeeepers”, in which case you get out of the way or expect to be wiped out by a big hairy arsed six footer!

    Shame he didn't red card both Payne & Morais, I don't care how we get 3 points most of the other results are going our way.

    Hardly the "comfortable" win you were expecting. Think we deserved a point at the very least. Very frustrating that we're going to get relegated from such a poor league with some very poor sides. Have to be honest that I was surprised how poor you were particuarly against 10 men. However good luck for the rest of the season.

    To be fair on Andy he's at a loss why we didn't go forward with more intent, poor performance against 10 men second half, BUT you can only get 3 points from the game, we must learn Christ we had a very experienced 11 out there we should have enough savvy to keep the ball and make Grimsby work not the other way round.
