Realistic - far more realistic than the moaning borefest charlies who think a point at Gillingham isn't a top result.

Grimes is always ballooning shots over the bar and snatching at stuff. I know Managers will sometimes bend the truth slightly to promote new signings but really Deano claiming Grimes was "one of the best finishers I've seen" was pretty delusion, the bloke is bang average.


Speaking to Rochdale fans on Tuesday, they were bemoaning the fact that although he was a good finisher, he was lazy and had a couldn't-be-bothered attitude. I haven`t seen anything to suggest he is lazy or has a poor attitude since he joined us. There are goals in him because he creates the chances. Just needs to get his first to settle the nerves.

I'm glad we got a point, but as a game of football it was still one of the most dire nil-nils I have ever seen.

Pleased with a point, but another uninspiring display by the sounds of it. Two home games coming up now, I'll be going to the Bristol City match. Interested to see which of our injured players will be back by then, seems like some of them have been out forever.

Have we stooped so low that we celebrate a nil nil draw @Gillingham? Give me strength.

Ok a draw is ok after what happened at Rochdale.

A top result is an away win against at Brizzle City for example or a draw away to a higher league team in the cup, for goodness sake.

If we celebrate yesterday's result as a momentous occasion we may Aswel give up.

P.s regarding Grimes, Smith did not say he's the best finisher at the club it's actually more ridiculous than that,
he actually said 'Hes the best finisher he's ever played or worked with'.

We are doomed.

He said decent point, not top result.

I swear some fans think we are Real Madrid and that we should be "smashing" teams like Gillingham, for fudge sake we sound like the dog heads. I saw someone on Twitter say today, "Couldn't even beat fudge Gillingham, we are going down"

WHAT? When did we get a big owner, huge budget and a history of winning things?

I guarantee someone is reading that thinking "Where's our ambition"?

Saying a draw away to Gillingham is "decent" is fudge REALISM, ambition has got nothing to do with it.

Everyone knows the team structure and way the team plays is set up to pick up results away and aside from horror shows like Rochdale, they do in fairness go to most grounds in this division and pick up a result.

The issue is though can they backup these decent points and beat the likes of Rochdale and Gillingham at the Bescot. Based on the awful home form of the last year, I wouldn't put a penny on it.

Decent point in the circumstances. Failing to score in five our first nine games is woeful though.

What a pathetic and disrespectful comment.

I thought it was fair after a pathetic and disrespectful post.
He seems to think, as someone else said, that we are Real Madrid.

And how many times does the Ashley Grimes quote need quoting?
And how many times has he played and will IHTC be prepared to walk down Wednesbury Rd naked if he does come good?
IHTC = "I hate the cops".
Now that's disrespectful and pathetic.
Will he put a hundred quid into the cops retirement fund if Grimes comes good?

People expect managers and owners to talk to the media or fans and then endlessly ridicule what they say.
It's no wonder they don't talk.

Get a grip on reality folks, a point at Gillingham is a good point FFS.
"Doomed"???? A point at Gillingham and we are doomed?
Get back on the medication and also go support someone else.

Funniest post of the year.

1. I like Grimes's work rate and effort (as stated in previous match reports), but for Smith to say he's the best finisher he has seen smacks of desperate to justify his signing considering he could not hit a barn door with a banjo for Bury and neither for us so far.

2. Lets throw a street party as we drew at Gillingham. FFS!

3. You have gone from a top result to good result in 24hrs.

4. IHTC does not stand for ihatethecops, get your facts right I have never once had the police knocking on my parents door (or my own for that matter) and have the utmost respect for them.

As I said earlier. PATHETIC!

Well you're probably right, it's not as good as a win at Bristol City.

You're arguing over someone's personal definition of what constitutes a "top result" and what that word means to different people. "Top" isn't a specific measurement.

4-0 loss away. Bad Result

0-0 draw away, following said 4-0 loss. Excellent way to steady the ship.

So telling somebody to go and support another club because they don't share your views is acceptable then?

Which one are you, Bonser or Whalley?

The mind boggles chap, of course we would all liked to have won. But we got thumped in the week, it could have been heads down and arses up against the Gills. We showed relative endeavour to grind out a result.
