Enjoyed that, Jackson was electric. Berrrett and Vernon look quality additions. Have to say Morcambe were shite though.

Awesome day all round... That fish chant as the players came out was a moment that will stay will me, similar to the Arnold goal.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Whole team were class. I have a feeling Danny Andrew will be our unsung hero. Looks a top top left back

What a first day back! The fans were incredible as you can hear on those sky highlights and the players didn't disappoint in front of a large crowd at BP which is a nice change.

Jackson my MOM as he caused their defence serious problems from the 1st minute and they didn't know what to do with him and reverted to bully boy antics. Special mentions for Davies, Vernon and Bolarinwa for showing that extra touch of class. McAllister also looks a great little battler in the middle too.

The only criticism is our lack of pace at centre back but we already knew that and Gowling(who IMO had a solid game up until the sending off) getting a suspension will maybe force Hursts hand on this one.

A very happy Mariner today and now the pressure is really off for Tuesday night so hopefully we can nick a result . UTM!

I will be at Colchester with a little person going to her 1st football match,

Echo most that's been said on here.

Jackson is just what we've been looking for and looks a brilliant addition, his pace is electric and I'm sure he'll be a key figure this season. He was the very best of a very good bunch. I do worry about better sides coming against Boyce but I'm sure that'll be addressed. You beat what's in front of you, I mean by god Morecambe were shite but then again so were Kiddy last year and we didn't beat them.

One thing I did notice is that despite nothing coming of them, our corners and crosses were top notch today. Andrew in particular didn't hit a single bad cross.

Lots to build on, think we still need a couple of additions to have that final squad but I liked what I saw.

Agree with Ginnywins these players are just a bit quicker, bit more skillful and better technically than the team we had last season.

Thought our strikeforce of Vernon Kay(Den Jackson) were excellent and worked really well together and Ben Davies is a way ahead of Tait/Magnay.

Feeling confident after today. Only worry is the speed of our centre halves.

Things to work on but so many positives..Jackson will be a handful for defenders, Gowling was very good pre-red card, McAllister won so many second balls, Summerfield times runs well. Andrew very steady, Davies great delivery, Bolarinwa raw but has something, Berrett was steady, Boyce had a nervy first 5 mins but grew into it, McKeown did everything asked of him well. Bogle showed what he can do, Vernon quiet but wouldve scored if not for a great clearance.

And we still have players to come in...Dis..Browne..etc etc. Will need 1 or two in but definitely something there in building a side, which Hurst does well.

And the reaction to thr srcond goal...run over to the manager. Already building that rapport.

Still 1.5 hours from home. Worth 10 hours travelling time to be there today. Sat in the Osmond and everyone singing in there too.. Noise sounded immense! Had a few beers with Morecambe, Bristol Rovers and Wolves fans on train on way back. Roll on Wycombe next week.
