This is 3rd place keeper I'd imagine, with preston gone and changes to loan system, makes perfect sense as well as ensuring DC true to his word. No complaints from me, but hoping we are still looking for new keeper to compete with Mildy

Rome was not built in a day and I have every faith in DC and the way I see it is that at the moment we have lost 1 of last seasons squad who would have just been in the squad and we have signed two players both of whom will no doubt play most weeks. I think it will be the same for the next four players (which will become 5 when Taylor goes)who DC signs and with each signing he will IMPROVE last seasons team. If both Easter and Lawrence are with us I see them both pushing for placers with a full pre season behind them. Easter was pretty fit come the end of last season and Lawrence (if he wants to play which we assume he doesif he takes the contract on offer) will have every chance to get himself to peak fitness. I can see this sort of team Mildenhall or NEW KEEPER Leadbitter Lockyer Hartley Lee Brown Bodin Lines (if he sins) or NEW MIDFIELDER NEW MIDFIELDER Moore (or Montano) NEW STRIKER Gaffney (NEW STRIKER) So I see 2 new strikers,2 new midfielders a new keeper and probably another defender coming in before the start and they will be challenged as well by McCrystal, James Clarke,Lee Mansell, Montano,Harrison. This could well be a squad capable of challenging for automatic promotion again with the DC magic behind them. I am quite surprised that we haven't heard of a couple of Jordanian Internationals coming over but maybe that will happen in the coming weeks.It is still very early doors. Surely the severity of the sin will determine whether Linesy is allowed to play or not...pretty sure some sins, such as murder, come with a prison sentence!! |

Fair play to him, but hoping for a new keeper myself. I'll never forget the fear I felt with his performance at Wembley. What was wrong with his performance at Wembley? |

Good news is we can all still dance with Will Puddy whilst Rory is giving our wives a seeing to.

Dunno why there's pockets of negativity towards players signing? What they've achieved so far has been fantastic, fully deserve their place, no questions. Because there are people on here that know better than DC in managing the squad and of whom they say trust but obviously don't ? |

He didn't get chance to prove himself one way or the other last season and DC's efforts to get another keeper last season weren't very successful. He is still one of only 2 keepers at the club and a L1 club probably needs 3, so I can't see what there is to be negative about.
Under the old loan system and its various 'Windows' there were special exceptions for clubs who found themselves with a goalkeeping problem. (Didn't Speiss join outside of the normal rules?) Anyone know if there are exceptions for keepers under the new rules?

Sure it will be a years contract and fingers crossed another goalkeeper will be in before the season starts as puddy wasn't league 2 standard let alone league 1

As it stands, Jordan are ranked 80th in the Fifa rankings, so their players wouldn't get a work permit to play professional football in any English league. This will change if they break into the top 70.

All if the current squad were promised contracts and that is what is happening. Nothing more nothing less. DC will expand on this squad and i have faith in his choices. Consistancy has been key and we have a very good club ethos again. This will now beck own in the football world which will attract mire players. Couldnt say that 2 years ago. Spot on. Over last season have kept watching National League football on tv and following Grimsby's forum. Blimey you should see it at moment, some fans are acting like they've just dropped out of league not joined it. What a bunch! Players are leaving citing the attitudes of the fans. The atmosphere there is toxic and such a change to ours where players want to stay and play for us. A large number of the posters do not like the manager and it all makes for a bad place to be. Makes me proud and very glad we have DC who keeps his promises and such a together squad of players who want to play in front of us fans. As you say, "we have a very good club ethos again." Obviously other clubs do not even when they have had a successful season. UTG! |

I sort of get what you are saying but DC has made some mistakes in players he has brought in so it's not like he is completely untouchable with regard to transfer policy. Some players and loanees have been pretty poor. (White, Wall, Goldberg to name a few) Yes, he has got results irrespective of those mistakes but even if he hadn't no manager should ever be afforded 100% trust without question. I'm sure DC would be the first to think it strange if he was allowed to do just whatever he liked without being answerable to the fans. That said I don't personally chose to knock him but I don't have a problem when others raise legitimate points. |

That said I don't personally chose to knock him but I don't have a problem when others raise legitimate points. Think you're answering your own question here, or words to that effect. DC does make errors in the transfer market, but he always rectifies them. This is partially why the short deal, lower wage policy - whilst it ends up with situations like Taylor's - ends up doing far more good than harm. That's why he gets results. As opposed to other managers who have stuck to their guns when something's going wrong. People have every right to critique these decisions, but I think over the last two years more fans on threads like these have been wrong more times than they've been right. |

I'm worried we'll have too many mediocre players in our squad with some of these players have signed. It's a difficult one as DC couldn't exactly go back on his promise. With the emergency loan market gone, we need a bigger squad, though. I expect that is the reason behind signing so many up. I'm sure we'll see another quality keeper, striker, midfielder and maybe defender come in. the reason is the contract promise made by dc,a great motivating idea with the obvious downside 2 or 3 players who have signed are not required. |

Surprised Puddy is staying to be honest as releasing Preston seems to suggest DC intends bringing in another experienced goalie, if so, I can imagine being goalie No 3 next season won't be much fun at Rovers given we already play so few reserve games. If I were Puddy I'd try and get myself fixed up with a Div 2 side, as if he's not careful he could be released next year having hardly played any competitive games for a couple of seasons.

But this thread is about Puddy - the Puddy that replaced Mildenhall who people wanted out the club for all the mistakes he was making - too old too slow can't get down quick enough - Puddy then went on to do brilliantly and become a favourite - even has his own song. He made a mistake v Dover or did he - was he fouled - 50% 50% split on that one I reckon. He had a shaky scary 10 mins in the first half at Wembley but got away with because EH scored. He did okay in the 2nd half but was replaced for the penalties because I think DC probably thought the bigger Mildenhall would be more intimidating or maybe was the better penalty saver in training - who knows but the fact is he never saved a penalty. Season in L2 what happens Puddy is injured from the start but comes back and immediately breaks down - I think pure bad luck because I don't think DC would have risked him in goal if he wasn't anything other than fit. Truth is from that point it seemed for some on here they instantly changed their opinion on Puddy and whilst he never played again he suddenly became not good enough - sorry where's the evidence ? Now he doesn't deserve a renewed contract or is only given one to be 3rd choice or because DC promised everyone they would get a contract offer. You really couldn't make it up. thats what I meant by not trusting DC because I believe DC is ruthless and my evidence - let's remember what he said to Mildenhall - find another club ! |

It went very sour at Grimsby last season ,fans getting on the players and managers backs.booed off after the first leg of the playoffs. Then the managers reaction at Wembley whilst understandable was probably not the smartest move.disley was virtually in tears after the second leg. All those years of being the nearly men (whilst stillhaving great seasons) and when they finally get promotion its in tatters straight away. The first decent offer that comes PH's way and he will be off no doubt. |

What was wrong with his performance at Wembley? For me it didn't inspire confidence, especially first half, we were lucky to concede just one. If you thought he had a good game then fair enough. Happy for him to stay on but he's a deputy for me, am always pleased to be proved wrong. |
