Wrexham are in good form and scoring for fun, Ollie Palmer has scored the same McAtee, were as Stockport are having a poor run at the moment.

But given yet another defeat yesterday they are definitely faltering, and teams that drop into the playoffs after looking certs to go up might well struggle to regain momentum and confidence. So now I would rather Wrexham go up. But I may think differently tomorrow.😉

I was about to say Halifax, that would be fantastic provided we went up in the playoffs. If Stockport and Wrexham both messed it up, lots of awards for manager of year might look a bit silly.... #newera;   New owners, new approach;  'we bought Grimsby Town to help renew the place we love'   Join the Trust, get involved: UP THE MARINERS!

So if we don’t go up, with this squad plus a few additions we might well be challenging for the title next year.

But we obviously need to win a tough game first to even get to the semi and the chance to face second or third. If we don't get promoted I'd rather Stockport went up as they'd be favourites for the title next season. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.   ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

Shandy Drinker Posts: 77 Posts Per Day: 0.01 Reputation: 86.91% Rep Score: +5 / 0 Approval: +301 Gold Stars: 2	Bear in mind Stockport have had a couple of key suspensions, notably Sarcevic. We couldn't get near them when they had 11 on the pitch - and playing them when they are back to full strength could be every bit as hard. I've not seen Wrexham to say whether they've gelled or improved since we played them (can't bring myself to watch any of the highlights), but we could have won both games this season. So, on balance, Stockport to go up......  just.

Hope they go up and do us a favour by beating Chesterfield today, as I would not want to play off against them.

I'd just fancy us a bit more at Wrexham who haven't looked that great at home since they beat us in January. The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

They’ve been great for the past few months but Stockport had effectively been walking it so Wrexham haven’t been under any real pressure. It’s easy to do the chasing. They had a poor start when all eyes were on them and they’ve had a few chances to capitalise on Stockport dropping points recently and bottled it. Just wonder how they’d cope with the pressure in a big final, or semi, as they’d be going in as massive favourites irrespective of who they play.

A draw at Wrexham would mean they would need just one additional point. If they beat Wrexham that’s it. So I think it’s odds on that they will go up and Wrexham will be in the playoffs,

Stockport to get promoted for me and someone else to knock out Solihull hopefully, though I think we can beat anyone on the day. It's just whether we turn up for 2 or 3 games, however many it takes to win the play offs, and getting the rub of the green when needed.

Hopefully the manager can grasp playing 2 up front and get us back in the Football League. UTM Blundell Park - The Home of Grimsby Town Football Club (still)
