To be fair to Mike he was very positive about our start to the season a few weeks back.

My only addition to the penalty debate would be the comments made by Colin Calderwood, the Cambridge Utd manager. Unlike most managers in his place, when asked, he did not say that he thought it was a clear penalty, a stonewall penalty or the usual tripe. Indeed, he said after the match that they had the rub of the green and that the majority of the decisions went in their favour. After the comments from both the Grimsby and Crawley managers (and Steve Bruce) there’s a danger of sensible rather than one-eyed analysis breaking out in Football managers!
