What are you doing reading other teams fans forums !! I thought it wasnt allowed 🤣

Only one person found it strange, but I just can't think of his name!

Pedro, I’ve not ‘rubbished’ anything.

I have raised legitimate concerns which you choose to belittle because you disagree with them. This is a tactic you regularly employ on this forum in attempt to get a reaction, so I won’t take it personally, but taking the moral high ground isn’t going to work.

No moral high ground.personally I find it difficult to understand some of the concerns raised about ownership, ambitions, player signings and sale of players( so far). A legitimate concern is that off Maynard but even that is a little unfair as he should be working with a clean slate as this team is now his team.
As I said the answer to all of the above is as you said let wait and see. I just wish all the knockers had adopted this stance from the start.x

Tried to watch the full game replay but the audio was terrible.

If you're confused over their concerns give them a tinkle and clarify.

Some of the post match discussion has tended to centre on a poor refereeing performance but while we got the benefit of a couple of dodgy decisions we were well worth a 3 goal win and if anything it should have been more..

Best home performance under Maynard so well done to him, well done to the players and also well done to Richard Montague who seems to have done a brilliant job with the new recruits this year. I tended to think the stick he was getting was ludicrous and hopefully that seems to be the case.

Makes me laugh that grimsby fans are complaining about the ref - funny thing is they were not complaining a few years ago in the play off QF when there second and winning goal was offside -
i always said there should be VAR in play off games as we have suffered more than most in these games recently for poor refereeing-especially the Coventry farce, then Torquay then Grimsby
But that being said no VAR in league as its not all, based on a one off game, luck should balance out over 46 games

We faced two different challenges this week - Fleetwood sitting deep and happy to live off scraps, and Grimsby trying to press high and go man to man. The fact that we deserved to win both games, but still got four points out of six, is a great sign.

So much of our football last night was a joy to watch, and there were so many encouraging signs out there. I was particularly pleased to see Hinchy and Grant starting to settle in, even though I’m sure there is better to come from both of them. Cedwyn had more energy and confidence last night than on Sunday. Edwards, meanwhile, was a revelation.

Keep this squad together and fit, and I can see us in the top three come next May.

I’m a United fan and I’ll tell you that currently Crowley is better than Mason Mount

How and why has it affected you that some haven’t ‘adopted that stance from the start’?

We all adopt different stances on different things at different times. How boring would the board be if every reply to an opinion was nodding with agreeement?
