I really do believe that the 'Gods of Luck' are totally against us this season!:eek:

What do we have to do to get a lucky break?:mad:

Trying to think of some witty topical pun about Wham and Last Christmas and Accy to try to lighten the mood.

But I can't.

Think I'll just eat some more feckin toblerone.

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

any comments from those who where in attendance?

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

I was there and we played well.

Omar slipped and let their guy run in on goal. Seemed to loose his footing.
We pushed them right back in 2nd half and went for broke with Shay on for Brown.
They scored on the counter.Game over.

Same old criticism of low chances to possession ratio but on the other hand they showed a lot of heart even after the second goal went in.
If this was a one off game Id say we were unlucky.Honestly don't know what to make of our current run. My best guess is that the Jam Butty House People have cursed us.

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

Sounds a lot like last week's game, feel so sorry for our lads - they must be wondering what on earth they have to do to turn this bad run around & their confidence must be shot to pieces. Couldn't go today but will hopefully be at Gresty Road next week when surely we'll get the bit of luck needed so that our recent good performances will start to turn into the results we need & deserve

Are you sure you were in Cleethorpes?

'Are you sure you were in Cleethorpes?'

TBH I'm not sure if I'm fooling myself or not. I appreciate the contradiction in playing well yet not scoring or being able to keep a clean sheet.

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

It does seem the same old story week in and week out. Coley has said that it may need a change of personnel in January. I hope something drastic happens to change our luck before the end of January or I am afraid the whole of the latter end of the season will simply be desperation football just to stay up. I have seen us play at home and like many others come away thinking we should have got something from the game. Sadly we got what we deserved and that I am afraid is nothing. Looking at the games overall and the tactics and personnel employed have made us an easy scalp now. Earlier in the season, I said we were just vulnerable to the sucker punch. I am afraid it is much more serious now that teams like Grimsby have sussed us out. A complete change of tactics is desperately needed. I did not go today but I can bet the passing was not as clean and sharp as it needs to be. I bet we clustered on one side of the pitch and rarely spread the ball wide to stretch the opposition. Whatever the problem it can't be all the players. The manager has to get inside their heads and restore the confidence. At the last home game Jonno could have sat in the stands with us and had a brew in the first half. He got about three touches worthy of mention. we can't keep leaving players like him out on a limb. We go again and we will play the same again. Even Coley knows drastic action is needed.

We can't keep bemoaning bad luck and laying the blame at everything other than the one standout reason why we are where we are.....

We can't hit the back of the net.....

In my opinion......we are a bit like Ronseal.........the opposition KNOW what they're getting....it's Stanley......we do exactly what Coleman puts on the tin !!!!:(

Don't keep kidding yourselves that bad luck has a part to play........Cloughie was spouting that line when Forest eventually dropped out of the Premier League.....:mad:

Too good to go down ...????? Our goalscoring record in recent times TOTALLY negates that argument !!!!:(


We're in the deep brown stuff......it will require the manpower with the drive and ability to steer us clear this year......:mad:

To all those living in dreamworld who think there isn't a problem......wake up and smell the coffee !!:eek:

We've been sussed.....we're too predictable....hence why we couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo at the moment !!!:mad:

My gripe is....stop bemoaning bad luck......hope the manager does something drastic to make SURE it changes.......otherwise......hate to say it....but for a man who has had all the manpower (all paid good wages to be sat in the stands ) at his disposal......it may be time for change....:(

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

Footnote to the above.....Nothing from next two league games and in my opinion ...... Mr Holt has a major decision to make.............:rolleyes:

Gamble with sentiment........ or make a move to make sure we are a league club come 7th May 2017............:o

Forget the cup game against Luton........I'd swap a win in that for 6 points NOW !!!!:rolleyes:

I realise this may not go down too well with those who blindly follow the "messiah" unconditionally.........but if we drop out of the league....I fear we may not return too easily......

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

....Discuss.....

Re: Grimsby Away match thread
 

I agree

Coleman needs to drop this over emphasis on his passing possession game and go back to basics.
In colemans defence, this is exactly what he did when we were at risk in years 2 and 3 (2007-08 &2008-09) back in the league, 5 at the back away from home, direct to Mullen, make us hard to beat.

I don't think anyone can say we are hard to beat, quite the opposite.

Coleman has changed it before, he can do it again.
