A bad day at the office two league games in is embarrassing really. I could understand it if they'd not had all summer together.

[Spilsby Red]

At least he is honest and doesn’t sugar coat it. He will sort it out and I think the players will realise. Bad day. It’s gone now move on

[Dabbermoo]

Not an ideal situation but it's just one more game, so much more to play for, this team will take time, don't understand the absolute morons on here who are kicking off so much, probably the same mongs who spent there own money on the embarrassment of banners and flags last season which just showed their absolute levels in society. Yes a bad result, GM has said its not good enough, we go again Tuesday night. I'm sure we all have bad days at work and days we wish could be dissolved from memory and I'm sure the players will be feeling the same tonight but let's get back behind them in the massive upcoming derby on Tuesday evening and I'm sure the effort and application will be there. One or two results do not define a season.

Your comment is embarrassing, 2 league games dude, 2 league games.

My comment is embarrassing, really.

Some longer term perspective is, of course, needed. However, it's really hard to express just how bad today was.

We need a performance on Tuesday.

It seems quite possible that embarrassment is a sentiment shared by GM

I don't think he said he was embarrassed.

[keith79]

It's definitely going to take time to gel. Anyone who thinks otherwise may also be right. 

[Barmby Rover]

GM is an honest man, he knew they didn't produce the goods today, and is not afraid to say so. I suspect one or two players will certainly know what he thinks of them after that match, hopefully they will go away and do something about it, I wonder how many we will be getting rid of as of the Xmas window.

[Spilsby Red]

Ok nudga. I apologise. Like a few on here, just trying to put things in perspective. We could lose on tuesday and go on a massive unbeaten run. We could win Tuesday and lose the one after. My opinion is GM will make sure the players are aware of the poor performance today. Just goes to show, one good result doesn’t mean the players are guaranteed a place

Who’s the get a grip aimed at ?

[Daniel_Smith]

I thought McCann came across quite well. Explained why things turned out the way they did and took responsibility for it. Says won't accept any less than 6pts in next two games.

He is a top manager who has shown his worth at this club previously.

The board hired two unknown quantities in McSheffrey and Schofield, which I think enabled the board to shield themselves from some of the blame when results didn't go our way. i.e, "we tried to give some young managers a chance, it didn't work out, and they're to blame for the bad results."

Reality is the board have underfunded the team for too many seasons now. Ironically since McCann was here the last time.

There's nowhere to hide for the board now in my opinion. But I can see them sacking McCann and blaming the manager again if things do go ary.

I'm hopeful McCann can turn things around. I'll certainly not be blaming him though if he can't. That blame lies squarely with the board.

[jmt23]

It’s quite a bold thing to say I expect nothing less than 6 points in the next two games.
I hope people take this with a pinch of salt, this was a statement that came from shock, frustration and embarrassment.

[selby]

  DS, what do you blame a burnt dinner on, the bloody oven? The board and owner have done nothing but pump money into the team for the last three months, Grant had players lined up and got them early, how is it the boards fault we have under performed in the first two league games? please explain your thinking.

[Spilsby Red]

Well said Selby

I agree there hasn’t been the required investment since Moore left, (do you honestly believe the players he brought in on loan were cheap). This has been realised and steps have been put in, McCann won’t be sacked unless you and your little Netto buddies spit your dummies out and start asking for it.

If the board supplied me with a crap oven that no matter how much I messed with the programs on it, it burnt my dinner - than yes.

Professional footballers on thousands a week playing against other Professional footballers on thousands a week. So at times the result might not be good enough.
Not embarrassing after 2 games. These players beat a championship side only 4 days ago.

What is embarrassing is comment's from fans like you who can't wait to jump on the players backs

Well I certainly won't be asking for McCann's head on a platter! He's a top manager. But I'm sure certain parts of our fanbase will blame him if things don't improve and the board will gladly sack him. We then repeat the cycle again.

But what if the board gave you the funds to buy the oven?

Grant mcann selected these players and asked the board to sign the cheques, which they did, so technically the board should be asking grant the questions.
Or are you saying that these players were the boards choice and grant had no say?

In that case, why do teams get relegated from the PL when every single one of those players are on tens of thousands of pounds?
There are loads of variables in football. Ours is a total lack of continuity for four years and squad/managerial upheavals and lack of investment in the last two seasons.
GM doesn't have a magic wand. He has brought in some decent players but they've got to get used to his system and also gel as a team.
We got a glimpse of that against Hull.i was hoping that result would give this team confidence to go to Newport and get a result.
It didn't happen but that doesn't mean we are going to be in the shit all season.
This team needs our support, especially on Tuesday and hopefully we can play our part again and spur the lads on.
The last thing we need now is a repeat of the boo boys from last season.

I'm saying Grant could only buy his oven from a scrapyard with not much money to play with. Was hardly going to get a Miele

How so? Because I haven't stamped my feet after a bad result.

We are league 2 side with anattendance less than 6.5k a week, what sort of funds do you really f*****g expect. Somebody who is on 22k a year would not look at a mortgage on a 500k house unless they want to go bankrupt in 12 months.

And the funds grant would of got would of been more than enough for what league 2 is required. If he wasn't given enough then he would not have moved so damn quick to get those players in and instead like previous years, would of been waiting for the free agents who can't get a day job in poundland.

And to add that we was the envy of many opposition fans during our transfer window, with many pundits claiming we have done the best deals so far
