Everyone at the club was really rooting for Pepple here and it was a real shame it didn’t work. You could tell there was something there though, certainly from a physical perspective, he looked like a proper athlete. The issue was he just rarely looked like a footballer. In the back of my mind...

A shame the board crashed over the weekend, we were robbed of a spectacular meltdown from Notts fans over our postponement

The weather in Grimsby is always particularly cruel to football fans. It’s never quite cold enough to freeze the pitch and let you have an afternoon off, but it has a habit of having a wind chill at -5 just in time for kick off. If the club says it’s on, it likely is, bring your big coat.

We were worse than bad today, absolutely Fucking pathetic from minute one

Not only did the ref somehow give a stone wall red card as a free kick the other way, he then gives this as a pen when he wasn’t even able to see it

I know it’s an age old thing but I’m just about sick of referees having a direct impact on the results of football matches, embarrassingly shite and he was the first time we had him this season.

It’s due to piss it down in Accrington in about 30 mins and continue for 24 hours, I’m not sure how well their pitch holds up but surely that makes the game in serious doubt. It’ll be a blow if it is, firstly because I’m going and secondly because we’ve put in 2 really good performances and...

Vale fans wanted at least a kind ref today and they’ve had that in bucket loads. We’ve really turned up though and given as good as we’ve got physically as well. The pitch is absolutely dreadful though and whilst it’s still 1-0, we’ve easily got a catastrophic mistake in us.

It’ll be great to beat Holloway but I am a bit worried about this weekend. We look much better as a collective with Obikwu and he’s highly likely to be out. GM should surely start ahead of Thompson who was dire on Saturday and we look so much better every time he’s on the pitch. Quite how...

We had 1 less shot than you that game (14), you scored an offside goal, played basketball for the second and had 2 complete flukes loop in. We were never as bad as the scoreline suggested and we’re now 3 points above you in the table, so I’d say we’ve a strong argument for not being a ‘poor team’.

Biggest game of the season IMO. The start of the season had so many mitigating circumstances, tough fixtures and a horrid injury list made us wildly inconsistent but we started fairly well. We’ve had 2 games with pretty much a fully fit squad and we’ve blown both sides away. Saturday presents a...

We have Newport, Colchester, Morecambe, Accrington, Crewe Swindon & Harrogate all next so I’m not even sure 7th is a false position. That will become clear after that run of games, especially given we’ve only played 4 of the bottom 9 and won the lot of them. All that without key players. I know...

Pretty much all of the 5 away wins have played out in the same way, we look incredibly solid whilst always giving ourselves a chance at the other end. The home form recently has been shocking, but to be 7th with the amount of injuries we’ve had is incredible

Consistently inconsistent, 7 wins, 7 losses. Four away wins in a row with 3 home losses and 10 conceded in between. It’s ridiculous to watch, certainly better than last year but it’s still frustrating as hell. It might get better with an easier run of games about to kick off and some players...

My opinion is probably slightly different to most Grimsby fans. We were excellent when he started and it’s one of the most excited I’ve ever been watching a Grimsby side pre-covid. Then Covid hit and everything was an absolute catastrophe, the difference in opinion I have is I’m not sure how...

To the letter

We’ve got a great record against the dross of the league and a relatively shit record against the good ones. I’m presuming looking at the league table that Tranmere are in the former category but it feels as though our injury crisis is really taking its toll on the players available now. I...

Another team in the top 6 to contend with in Walsall and another side who absolutely battered us last season. Win this and we start a kind looking run until Xmas in terrific shape. We’ve somehow got even more injuries to contend with now, just as it felt like things were easing up a bit. I...

8th in the league, 3 points off top after surely the hardest start to the campaign of anybody in the league. Delighted with our start, the fixtures start to get kind after Walsall next week, that’ll be a true test of where we’re actually at IMO.

You probably had more away fans last night than we had home, we’d have brought barely anybody along because you know, there’s still boycott on. It’s odd to me that some clubs are starting to attract bigger numbers whilst most clubs are taking barely any. Birmingham took over 3k to Shrewsbury...
