Match Thread: Grimsby Town v Port Vale

Recommended Posts

Some of them deserve to be playing in non league next year after that. I’m convinced, total squad re-vamp needed.
I've maintained throughout this recent run that most if not all of the ooc players and all of the fringe players should go regardless, if possible. Like many on here, I've remembered more the dismal performances for much of the season, as well as the 3 relegation fights in 4 years. Players suddenly realising their livelihoods are on the line didn't change my view. Interested to see what DC does a week or so from now

Wow, Clarke very critical of Montano's discipline.

Doesn't bode well for extension prospects. 

In my view, really weird/OTT public criticism. Monty went up for a header a bit loosely. I don't think it was a yellow and certainly didn't smack of a player with disciplinary problems who has to be told 'time and time again, and the 'penny won't drop', who has a 'mechanism in his head' that leads to a loss of control. 

Maybe laying the groundwork for releasing him? Monty has been pretty professional for us bar his injuries, which he can hardly help.

Nothing to really read into today. Two not-bothered teams, their players with a bit more to play for as they've just relegated a club and need contracts. 

Fact remains that our squad needs seeing to a with a hammer, and rebuilding from the foundations up. That hasn't changed during the 9 games unbeaten and doesn't change now.

I really don’t understand this ‘nothing to play for’ idea. Even if a player was told he wasn’t being renewed then surely to God you’d be giving your all to impress any potential scouts as you’re effectively in the shop window as it were. 

I agree with the need for a mass clear out. The lot can go for me, maybe Conlon, Worrall and Rodney aside. Even Gibbons, great player but so what if you’ve got dodgy hamstrings, play 2 miss 6 etc?? We had 1 season in the last FIVE where we as supporters haven’t been worried about relegation.

Agree. Just listened to Clarke’s interview, weird, and the conclusion to draw is obvious. Monty’s red wasn’t why we lost that game. I’d say the changes didn’t come soon enough. Robinson should have been hooked at HT for me. 

And let’s not forget, their supposed ‘best’ centre-back didn’t come on til near the end. Says it all really.

Sorry to say but Joyce has been dreadful this season.

I don't buy the narrative that "no one notices the unsung work he does".

His legs have gone, and he passes to the opposition more times than his own.

He's been a good signing but now is the time to let him go.

Even my Grimsby mate said they were 2 harsh yellows.
