Abrahams brought in on loan and played out of position when he does come on as a sub. Give the young man a decent chance before he is put down.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 2:51 pm Questions need to be asked about the players that we brought in.

Let us hope that Jobi learns something after this heavy defeat. Time for a change to 4-4-2.

Given a complete lesson from Minute 1 . It just shows how far off the club is from achieving promotion out of this Division. Some really serious thinking needs to be done by those in charge if we are to be able to close the gap sufficiently to make a sustainable challenge next season.

That’s the last thing we should be doing imho. Lessons need to be learnt from games like these in order to shape things for future improvement.

Biggest defeat of the season. Never really looked like scoring. Hoof ball is not the answer. Exeter are a good side but didn't create much but still come away with 4 gifted goals.

It’s not often we go away and have most possession including winning 5-1 on corners
Well done to Jobi, the team, and all the back room staff

The best team won today of that there is no doubt. If Jobi didn’t realise he had a big job / rebuild on his hands. He does now. Roll up your sleeves and get stuck in and sort it out Jobi, good luck mate, I believe in you.

Re: Matchday/Exiles thread 6/3/21 vs Exeter
The only way he's going to sort it out is to bring in new players. Some of the players we've got are simply not good enough to push us forward.

Re: Matchday/Exiles thread 6/3/21 vs Exeter
Totally agree with your comment. Dave Victor is a. Lovely guy but some of his comments are just ridiculous. Exeter took their foot of the pedal made 5subs and their goalkeeper must have had the easiest game this season.We were totally clueless. The idea of giving DJ 50 yard passes to chase against a centre half who won every ball in the air was senseless. Luckily we are a few points of the relegation struggle . Based on games in 2021 we would now be bottom. We appear to be roughly in the same position as far as tactics are concerned as Justin was when he took over. Jobi hopefully will get things changed in the near future.

Today has made me realise just how badly Grimsby must be . They must be nailed on now for relegation.

Re: Matchday/Exiles thread 6/3/21 vs Exeter
We probably need 10 or 11 wins from our last 14 games to reach the play offs.
I keep reading/hearing how good our squad is, but I'm not seeing it. Data wise, in the xG table we're 18th. Discrepancy between reality and xG is we've conceded less goals than expected - this is backed up by goalkeeping stats breakdown that has Vigouroux as the best performing goalkeeper in the league. Outfield we are hugely average and it worries me how everyone at the club keeps going on about how we have the personnel for a promotion push. We really don't.

After seeing them Tuesday they need a miracle. Glad we have them, Barrow and Southend cast far enough adrift to not be of concern (yet)RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 3:24 pm Today has made me realise just how badly Grimsby must be . They must be nailed on now for relegation.
Very much an "on paper" side. Might have some reasonable players individually but as a whole there's gaping holes in quality, as evidenced today in the entire midfield area.Mr. Peanutbutter wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 3:35 pm We probably need 10 or 11 wins from our last 14 games to reach the play offs.

Will we ever see a solid RB or a ball-winning physical CM? Probably not while Ling is recruiting them.
