Berrett started games under Dave Moore which leads me to thinking that Mooro picked today's team

To be fair. Mooro has seen the good and bad of 3 managers this season (if you include him in that). His judgement will be better than Slade's. I suspect he's only had 1 maybe 2 training sessions.

Thank fook that halfs over.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Nothing spectacular here, Cambridge started off more brightly, then we seemed to get into it 10mins in. Lots of effort from the lads but nothing much coming off. Their big striker looks a handful, Collins got his work cut out there. Hard to tell from up here in the upper Findus but it looked like Sean Derry and RS were having a little argument on the touchline, I think it was because Derry was trying to stop the ball going out of play!
Gotta say the upper Findus fans towards the away end are quite toxic, unlike the Pontoon end where I normally reside!

Not bad at all, town look very very solid. There number 8 Berry looks the standout player but it's going to be a game where a single goal decides it.

Surely it should be Slado and Wilko if we're doing the "Grimsby O" ending?

Or maybe because only Wilkinson is from here only he gets an O?  How does that work with Corrie/Corro then?

Oh, I don't know.

Lol Cambridge score in the last minute and of course the referee adds as much time as possible. Were there even that many stoppages?

Only Donny & Mansfield above us who have won today. 5 points off the play-offs with 4 games to go. Doesn't sound a lot but there is 7 teams who we need to slip up.

If we had a another day like today.... Who knows?

We're five points off the playoffs with four to play.  We clawed back two points today.

In a way, I'm a bit angry that the previous regime gave up on the playoffs so easily and early, and started using the matches as an early pre-season, because all it would have taken would have been to hang on to our leads in the Accrington and Crawley (or any other two) games and we'd be within a point and on a run.

I don't have many memories to be rekindled about the last time we played there. I must have had one of those viruses that makes you unsteady on your feet, slur your words and gives you a hammering headache the next day.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game today, took a bit of a knock with two officials bottling the foul in the first half which would have seen one of their players off, osbourne was class 👌🏼 UTM!


Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

And we had the curse of the ex, with Drinkells scoring.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

The game at Coventry will probably be the opening game and you'll be in Spain/Greece/wherever  


Haha.. that would be about par for the course! I am on holiday in August as well.. I'd be livid if it falls on the weekend I'm away.

That was the day we beat Barnsley at home in one of the few 2nd tier games not postponed for the international games. And it was Jevons who scored at Coventry (think Rowan scored the winner v Barnsley).

Strachan was sacked though.

Quoted from HackneyHaddock
We're five points off the playoffs with four to play.  We clawed back two points today.

In a way, I'm a bit angry that the previous regime gave up on the playoffs so easily and early, and started using the matches as an early pre-season, because all it would have taken would have been to hang on to our leads in the Accrington and Crawley (or any other two) games and we'd be within a point and on a run.


We are all thinking the same I am sure and I think it was the beginning of the end for Bignot when it was obvious he was not taking reaching the play offs seriously enough.

What was he thinking, and why was he thinking it?? The directors may have said 50 points or thereabouts was their initial aim, but not their sole aim surely?

His team beat Plymouth and Carlisle away, Mansfield at home so he must have known the standard wasn't great in the play off chase, so why give up? Why didn't he play a settled team and go for it? In professional sport winning is everything, so no wonder the players were a bit unnerved.

I still cannot get my head around it. His first major managerial job, in or around the play -offs when he arrived and he didn't seem bothered about reaching them. Almost as if he didn't want success except when, or until all traces of the old regime had been erased.

Only Marcus Bignot will know why he acted as he did, but it will be forever a mystery.
