Tuna 13,809 Posted 27 December 2020 Report Share Posted 27 December 2020 Grimsby look like an utter shambles off the pitch, touch of the Karl Oyston's about the current owner/majority shareholder John Fenty. Hope they can get rid of him, sell the club and move on apparently there is a consortium willing to buy him out but he won't budge, fans absolutely loathe him as you can imagine.

I always like to see Grimsby doing well and hopefully they can move away from a relegation battle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corky 13,510 Posted 29 December 2020 Report Share Posted 29 December 2020 I think they'll be able to extend the season if the outbreak increases and more games are suspended but why on earth did the League Cup take place this year and even more baffling is why the EFL Trophy was included in the schedule? Had they not been played for this season, Leagues One and Two could've played more midweek games earlier, had another six or seven matches already played and more space to fit in postponed games later on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StanSP 28,178 Posted 2 January Author Report Share Posted 2 January Some teams have only played 16 or 17 games in League One. With FA Cup coming up, that's a lot of games to be crammed in between now and May to complete the season... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First match back today and it's postponed for a frozen pitch. Lincoln in a good position because some teams are going to be playing 2/3 matches a week at the end of the season.

Nahh was caretaker manager today, but still, 5-1 loss at home doesn't look good Can't really see them turning it around this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna 13,809 Posted 4 January Report Share Posted 4 January Joey Barton OUT at Fleetwood, spent nearly 3 years there I bet there were not many who thought he'd last that long there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RowlattsFox 2,474 Posted 4 January Report Share Posted 4 January Bit random, there has been no talk of him being under too much pressure. Has to be something more to it. He will have hopes of a championship club I'm sure but would love Big Nige to come to Fleetwood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arriba Los Zorros 2,504 Posted 4 January Report Share Posted 4 January Not a massive fan of money club Fleetwood to be honest plus their team are quite thuggy from what I've seen so would rather the gift of Nige go to another club that can benefit from in, I'd love it to be Ipswich but as RowlattsFox says he is probably not willing to go below the Championship.

Fox92 11,700 Posted 4 January Report Share Posted 4 January They haven't been in great recent form and I don't want to comment on that but overall he did a better job there than I expected. Thought it was going to be a disaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This was Oxford's 4th consecutive win, unbeaten in 7. (I think there biggest win since putting 6 past at Lincoln, which came immediately after Appleton's appointment as manager) After a dreadful start, now 12th - I think they could make the play-offs now. Elliott Moore is now a key player in defence; he has become more dominant and vocal this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leicesterpool 652 Posted 4 January Report Share Posted 4 January Heard interesting rumour on the radio they reckon Kevin Phillips is interested in the Fleetwood Town job, about time he was given a chance. Fantastic playing career and achieved four promotions with four different clubs I believe. I think he'd do a decent job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corky 13,510 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Regular testing in these divisions from next week. Hopefully that, along with stricter guidance around protocols, will stop a lot of the outbreaks in squads. Not before time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arriba Los Zorros 2,504 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Ipswich lost at home to Swindon. They really are in the shit. Can't see them ever getting back into the top flight. Remind me of an even worse versio of us from the mid 00s, although there is no Pearson or Thai owners to come to the rescue. Sad to see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
