    Match Thread Grimsby Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    I think we will win but home advantage and a claggy pitch will favour them a bit so i'll say a scrappy 1-0 to the City.

    His long abscenses are disappointing as I have generally liked the look of him when he has played. Certain he can do a job in league 2 if he can just get fit

    Where are you? Back the lads!

    I was playing it by ear as if I did go I would have to take my 4 year old with me. Some days he wakes up and brings instant joy to my life. Other days he's lucky to keep breathing till bedtime and I didn't fancy the ride all the way to Grimsby if it was the latter kind of day.

    No More Signings Expected

    No, what I mean is I have seen him play the Doyle role for Rochdale lots of times and he can break up play and dominate the midfield should we need him too. He hasn't quite got that "do as your fucking told or I'll rip off your arm and twat you with it" look that Doyle has but more than capable...

    Vincenti can definitely fulfill that role.

    Where are you? Back the lads!

    Very random decision. I was actually considering going to this and paying on the gate, guess not now.

    Agree, i was a little bit surprised to see both Doyle and Kelly dropped for the Blackburn game, although i understand the need to save them for the league. Had one of them been playing alongside Shipley/Stevenson we could have seen a very different game.

    Maycock is a centre mid isn't he? So that's Maycock, Shipley and Stevenson all as cover for Doyle/Kelly. Plus, we then have the option to put players like Finn on the wing which would allow VIncenti to play centre mid should we need him too. Given that we still have loan slots available should...

    Is that our transfers finished now?

    Fair enough, I guess it is a gamble as to whether he can live up to the promise he showed in pre-season but worth sticking £20k on the table and see if they jump maybe?

    Is that our transfers finished now?

    If the only reason we didn't sign him was because we were waiting on GT to make his mind up / Needed the GT cash to make it happen then signing Moorhouse would make perfect sense. Already had a good look at him, he knows the rest of the squad etc. Has Robins ever said anything about why the deal...

    Players on Trial

    Few of my mates were at the game and rated him. Every comment i have read on here today has been positive. Seems Robins was the only one who didn't like what he saw.....

    Final Transfer Market Dealings

    Why is everyone so certain it will be Pearson and not the ex-Chelsea kid? Have I missed something?

    Final Transfer Market Dealings

    I can't see us signing any more strikers either, other than Moorhouse possibly.

    Final Transfer Market Dealings

    I think we have to accept that successive managers have seen something in Burge that we don't. Perhaps they can't all be wrong and he will turn in to a decent keeper at some stage.

    Mickleover also have one Clinton Morrison on their books. EDIT: They also have a CB called Ben Turner! Very much doubt it's the one we know thought :P

    Final Transfer Market Dealings

    Pretty certain we won't be getting any more keepers in now. MR seems happy with Burge with LOB for the bench. Would imagine RCC will leave, whether permanently or on loan. Addai will play the u23 games and can deputise for the bench. Always have the option of bringing in a loan keeper if needed...

    Can you find.....

    I've bet on us to win the league, perhaps frivolously but sure it's only money....... In all seriousness though i am optimistic, i think we have a decent manager, the makings of a reasonable squad and more to come.

    Your 11 to face Notts County.

    I really can't call a starting 11 at the moment. Too many trialists not yet signed, too many existing players who may or may not stay and too little information about some of the new signings to say whether they will slot straight in to first team reckoning. The only thing I can say for...
