Haha
Dare you to nip out for a couple of hours. She will not mind when you tell her we have won 3-0 and going to look after her the next two weeks full time

Just say you went out to get a pint of milk.

Sounds rubbish mate, but you can be sure she's in the right hands. Best of luck to the both of you!

I may be cheeky, but if she's in recovery she's probably not going to notice if you slip to the Ricoh for an hour or two...

I’m sure your 11 a side won’t notice your negligible talents being at the Ricoh either...

When you word it like that it's really tempting. We've got 13 so technically we could field a side without me. However, I'm not joking when I say half the lads struggle to tie their own shoe laces...

Luckily we have no game over the easter weekend so I'm going to Newport!

Any team news yet?

No name but 1 change.

Burge for LOB!?

 

[Otis]

You have to admire gallows humour.

Just seen a bunch of Grimsby fans merrily singing along.

Might have got the lyrics slightly wrong but it was something along the lines of ...

'Doesn't matter who we play,
We lost last week and we'll lose today.'

Would guess so.

Used to make me chuckle last season when teams would be winning at the Ricoh and would sing “how S**t must you be we’re winning away” & the response back was “you’re nothing special we lose every week”

Ooh Errr. .. just noticed it.

Off to flog myself to death. Shame.

 

[Garryb80]

O'brien should hand in a transfer request

 

[Otis]

Phew. Corrected it and now feel cleansed.

How long a deal is he on?

Harsh on him to be dropped after he played well last week.

You're not by any chance taking the piss, are you?

Was thinking the same too, played well last week. Alert to everything.

That’s a good strong bench, let’s hope we don’t need it today.

 

[Otis]

I was going to predict 7-0, but now Nathan Clarke isn't playing I am going to go for 1-0.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Im sure we were linked with Woolford a few years back and he went to Scunthorpe or was at Scunthorpe

Mckeown, mcallister, mcsheffery, I'm gonna be mcpissed off if we don't beat these clowns

Maybe there will be McFlurry of goals. Just need to hope Lee Burge doesn't Mc up.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Bayliss in the middle again. Robins has finally clocked on.

 

[sw88]

Quite the police presence today.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I'm feeling confident today 3-0 win

Very

Feels busier round the ground today than normally at this time

 

[Nick]

Dembele was good for them in the first game.

Thanks, Clive.

Would’ve kept LOB between the sticks. Surprised Haynes remains in the side after being responsible for the past 2 goals we’ve conceded (cue the defence from the Haynes and Burge fan club).

 

[Esoterica]

With Bayliss' fitness in question and Kelly showing last week what he can do with more licence I hope we don't end up regretting rushing him into this. If there was a game to rest him in the remaining fixtures then Grimbsy at home surely must be it. Would much rather he was fully fit for a hard to beat Newport away on Friday.

I think he's only keeping Haynes in because Stokes is the only back-up potential CB at the moment, so playing him over Haynes and him getting injured or sent off means we have nothing at all in way of cover at the back.

I would do if I was him after putting a decent performance in the previous week, especially after watching Burge cost the side points.
