Match Thread

well i liked the fact he hasnt said too much to the players as yet and will sit down and analyse with them as a group.
Interesting that it seems Hearn isnt training fully......

Burton?

No offence but a slightly melodramatic statement i feel.

People will probably get a bit disappointed after a performance and a result like we got tonight. You think it's going well? In  many ways I think this is more depressing than Burton. Then there was the prospect of bouncing back, whereas tonight a fifth season down here seems very, very likely.

No clearly not going well but as i have pointed out....instability with squad availability, management instability, system adaptation and playing a team who are settled and confident after a promotion and very good run of form at home.
Its no good people just rolling out ...we should beat the likes of Halifax, Nuneaton cos we are Grimsby and we are full time......do you not think Luton have fallen into that trap for 6/7 seasons? We are all competing in the same league, Nuneaton are top FFS and proving what a decent side they are. Just because they didnt play in Division 1 in the 1950's doesnt mean they shouldnt be top.
I am concerned that he duo/solo have reshuffled their approach seemingly relying on Kerr/Paddy to be the magic formula but it appears to me neither are or will be and in that area of the pitch we have gone from a fairly solid pairing last season albeit a little uninspiring  to supposed quality passing midfield which appears cant pass, are slow, small and not physical.
It does appear however as they proved last season they will act quickly when things arent right and weild the axe, ie Jones draughted in now.
Still very early in the season after all.

Giving them a game would be a start.

I respect your opinion but ffs, we didn't just lose to those teams, we were comprehensively outplayed, and if you want to justify that by saying we are all in the same league, then so be it, but for me, it's not acceptable.

Losing, i can take, but not competing, when you have all the resources at your disposal is alarming.

Spot on Ginnywings.

Agreed Ginny. I've certainly not trotted out those lines and I knew it would be tough last night. I said before kick off that I thought a point would be a decent result. What was unacceptable was nothing to do with our opposition, but about our own complete lack of direction, application or any kind of mental or physical fortitude.
