The fella sat behind me basically slated every one of players from the first minute with periodic booing even before we went one down. Apparently because he pays his money he can say whatever the fuck wants, should have stayed at home and spent that money getting his yellow and half missing...

Thankfully it appears he's okay (at least as okay as someone can be after suffering a heart attack).
Could go either way this game tomorrow, on the one hand a couple of our best players are likely to be missing due to injury as well as...
Is there a link between managing a National League side and having the first name Gary? Current count for the season is five (Johnson, Whild, Brabin, Hill, Mills). What's the odds on Gary Megson taking the Eastleigh job?
Can't see it being us, Mark Palios only only took about a year ago. An advert on Linkedin would be preferable to Peter Johnson's attempt at flogging us on Ebay though.
My missus asked me what the score was after the game against Wrexham on Tuesday and when I told her it was 2-2, she said "does that mean they both win?". Questions like that are why I won't be taking her to a game anytime soon.
As to Eastleigh on Saturday, expecting a tough game but we've done...
I didn't think it was a bad game, maybe lacked slightly in quality but reasonably entertaining. Shame we sat back too deep towards the end which cost us two points. Thought we had the better chances whereas Wrexham dominated possession second half so a draw a fair result overall.
Decent...
It's no surprise that our upturn in form has coincided with Dawson's arrival. If we're to believe Mark Palios there was plenty of money left to bring in more players during the last transfer window but we stuck with what we had. We're also waiting on a few hundred grand (at least) from Wigan...
We've definitely missed this kind of game the past 10 years! Nice having a game with a bit of bite to it after years of our closest rivals being Oldham or Bury.
Our record against top half teams this season is pretty decent but it's got to come to an end at some point, hopefully not tonight. We've also got my away record to contend with, the last time I saw us win was against Notts County three seasons ago when we went top of League One and I've...
Best we've played so far this season, not a single played had a bad game and we're really starting to gel as a team (as Brabin said we would when people were wanting him sacked after five games). Could have been a closer game though if Davies was correctly shown a red card for a handball...
Absolute shambles that, they've had about five months to sort it out. Even more irritating that Norwood missed our first few games through injury and is finally starting to find some form.
Can't remember the last time I saw such a difference in performances between two halves. First half we were absolutely dreadful, the worst I've seen us play all season. Second half, once Mangan came on, it was like watching a completely different side and we were unlucky not to get four or five...
No arguments that Grimsby were the better side but I thought we were both pretty poor. Definitely didn't agree with Hursts comment that we passed the ball well, I don't remember us stringing more than about four passes together the whole game. Also Brabins post match comments always seem to bare...
Shit game this, no flow to it at all. Constant stop start with fouls and sloppy passes conceding possession.
Also, why do BT Sport persist with Mark Clemitt asking the managers inane questions during the game?!
Tough call. He came back here in 2007 and played another 80 games so a similar total for either of us. Always struck me as being too short for a keeper but he's had a pretty decent career considering.
Cole Stockton signs for Southport on loan. Always seemed a promising player but has looked poor in pretty much every match he's played, ambling round the pitch with no sense of urgency whilst the game passes him by. Maybe a few goals would boost his confidence but from what I've seen he's not...
