Simply the best F.A. Cup performance I've seen in 54 years of watching Town. High pressing and three great goals as a reward first half and a dogged, solid, do or die defensive performance second half. Astounding all round.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

We made Luton look like mugs all game, what a night.

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.

I would agree but we we’re old division one back then, we’re fourth tier now, that’s an astonishing result tonight.


"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!!!"

One of the best things about tonight was scoring all our goals at the Luton end, then defending that same end to keep them out.

They got a first hand view of our attack at it's best, then the defence.

Lovely.

They were half-arsed during the first half, we were really clinical. Good link up between Orsi and Clifton for the first, a role reversal for the second and a well-struck free-kick for the third.

Each of their substitutions increased their threat, but we were incredibly well-organised in the second half and they were mostly restricted to chances which weren't easy to convert. Mostly headers where they weren't really able to get any power or direction on the effort. Crocombe played well and made a few decent saves, but only one you wouldn't really expect him to get when he managed to block a point-blank header when the player was right in front of him.

What makes it more remarkable is that we had very little to shake it up from the bench. Orsi played well in the first half but was almost out on his feet not long after the hour mark. We only had an inexperienced kid to replace him and the injury to Green meant that we had to rejig the midfield and we looked weaker after that.

Injuries permitting, we'll hopefully have at least one or two other options on the bench for the Southampton game.

Can't believe it is more than half my life-time since we were last in the 5th round...

The defensive work was phenomenal! It was all done at arms length and we never really looked troubled. Luton could’ve played for a week and not scored

Orsi and Clifton seem to have struck up an understanding looking at those 2 Luton games.

Great team performance.  Individually and collectively we were just just too much for them.

Was going to post before the game that our record against higher-placed teams is outstanding.  Based on 2 top cups of the play-offs and the FA Cup.

We played the equivalent of 4 playoff matches.

We have played 4 FA Cup matches.

7 wins and a draw (against a team away from home  in the Championship playoffs).

All achieved in less than 9 months.

(Seems a long time since we beat Div 1 leaders Plymouth 5-1.  Winning at Cambridge was tough as well as they won at Newcastle last season)

8 and counting.

We are a great cup team.  But also all against better teams.
