    Never let me down. Chased and harried for everything much like Kyle Wootton did. Probably wages were a problem but look what we ended up with,

    Season longs= loans I do believe have a ‘jan window’ return clause available. I think the matter as raised by lower division clubs if injury issues hit heavily in other groups.

    Regarding Cordner, it may be we have to return him to enable recruitment within the budget. For CB cover we have Bedeau, Butroid and Rowe have played that position, Jordan Clarke as well. Plus for a couple of games at a time I would happily put Charlie Barks in.

    Charlie has played in the U23s against very experienced CBs and he does fine. It wouldn’t phase him.

    He played a lot of games for Cambridge, Bolton offer maybe swayed him that he was going up the leagues.

    Doesn’t always work out as we have seen – Hakeeb a good example.

    My contact at Bolton says he is a good player that has not been given a chance. Seems been told he doesn’t fit the new system but he hasn’t had an opportunity in it !!

    Matt Dean asked MIRF about him – MIRF rates him so thats good enough for me.

    Could be a loan. Then it is up to him to show he is worth an offer. Very competitive and ability to hold the ball.

    Would be good to put him and Harry Jessop together.

    I would think they would play every game if their parent club were paying the wages.

    Ironawe – where does the £300 million come from ?

    By my understanding in the city pages at the time Mrs Swann sister bought her out of Wilko’s, also seem to think it was less than £50mil.

    Mr Eisa likes the appointment of Messrs Hurst & Doig.

    Well if they are such hot properties Grimsby better move fast because the queue must be long !!

    My list is the base for next season.

    It allows the addition of some experience down the spine Keeper, CB, CM and Striker.
    We have good players but not given a run of games.

    Media do what they are allowed to do.

    Supporters are talked AT and not engaged with, and that is the issue but what do we know !!

    Line up / selection is going to be interesting.

    Wonder how long it will take for the phrase “It is a young squad and they are learning…..” to arrive. It is getting tiresome, same comments. Then in Mr Cox’s post Mansfield match he said that in training they set out to work on the issues but the players change it to do what THEY want to do !

    Who the hell is in charge ?

    Very concerned when a manager says that in training they start with what the management want do but gradually it ends up with the players doing what they want !!

    WHAT !! That is ridiculous those players need removing from training and sending home !! Was surprised at Mr Swanns choice, was not mine. Mark Lillis I did and still do want back.

    I would bring in BARKS at CB. JESSOP as 1 of 2 STRIKERS.

    To let some others realise the team does not revolve round them I would bring BUTROID, PUGH, HORNSHAW into the squad and stick with them for as many matches as these that don’t care have had.

    You can be the most skillful in the world but if you aren’t bothered there is no point selecting give the shirt to those that actually care – cannot be any worse.

    All loanees return to their clubs, wasted money !!

    Yes Mason accepted the challenge from day 1 and will only get better.

    In all honesty I think Charlie Barks should be on the bench these days. Before Finn I would give opportunities to Pugh and Hornshaw. The latter 2 are certainly better prospects than Taylor and they are ours ! But now seem almost forgotten, yet those continually selected seem not that keen to show they actually want the shirt – whereas Hornshaw, Pugh and Shrimpton would thrive on the chance of playing regularly in their own positions.

    RIP Charlie Strong, a club legend. Not sure some of todays diva’s would cope well with that ‘SPONGE’

    You never heard a wrong word about this gentleman, condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and the former players who he cared for.

    In the clubs history, will never be forgotten.

    I believe Only director before being struck out at companies house was a Godfrey Torto.

    Checking Transfermrkt there seems to be no agent listed as “Ask Godders”.
    I think ‘interesting’ is one way of describing it.

    So now people you have seen Loft and Thuran, although Thuran not that much.

    I ask this question – was Kyle Wootton really that bad ?

    Mr Cox’s post match comments baffling yet again.

    Talks about ‘No Passion’ from the players – matched his tone in the interview.
    Highlight for me was that he wasn’t single anyone out then named BEDEAU, EISA and LOFT !!

    Seems Loft not a crowd pleaser, Thuran absent from the 18.

    Would Kyle Wootton have done a better job and was selling him a good decision ?

    Sadly if we opt for the intellectual approach we won’t get another point !

    If we go 442 and ‘muck & nettles’ approach we could have at least 6 from the remaining 9 !!

    Managers score – 0.

    It is what you get when you start targeting, when you ignore the fact that the next game is the most important game.

    Same players getting game after game and fail to deliver. We are 4 pts from 2nd bottom and only 8 from bottom. Can we mess this up ? Consider the debacle when we were relegated from division 1 !!

    When Mr Cox put the 3 starters on the bench for Colchester he was targeting the ‘certain’ 3 points from the Southend game !!

    It doesn’t work !! So we got 0 from 6 and the common denominator – The Manager. Yet the players are to blame not him ! It his team.

    Perhaps the deal is a 2 + 1 option.

    Remember we don’t get to know a lot, just the minimum. But it is a good start and compliments to the the board. Hope there is more news similar to this in the near future.
