Whatever you say about his defending we’ve missed his dead ball delivery


We have but Vernam's deliveries are better.

No matter what we think of Clifton, if you let him go you’ll not find a player with his flexibility or engine at our level.

I think DA will offer him an extension, but I’d be gobsmacked if Hurst isn’t after him. Clifton on a freebie? I think he’d have teams queuing up.

I agree on this one. I'd definitely renew. As an option on bench or coming in when others are out of form, he's essential in a squad and when he finds a bit of form playing wide, he's quite a player.

That’s a poll for the close season when there’s nothing to talk about.

I’d hope to keep Clifton, Wilson,  Green and Glennon. It’s a squad game and all four are plenty good enough. Maher is too but I suspect there’s more going on there which means he’ll go, probably along with Glennon.
We need to add some quality to the core and that wont be easy. Barrow for example had about four excellent players that would walk into our team, the rest were pretty much similar. That’s what you have to find, another four players who will be our stars along with Thompson and Rose.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

I need someone to do the individual player appraisals , they are always an interesting read .

It's funny how quite a few are saying release Clifton - he might already have 'released ' himself and found a decent move one league up , I'm sure there will be a good bit of interest for his versatility alone .

People keep saying about Clifton going to L1 but he would struggle so much due to his complete lack of technical ability.

I don't think he would in terms of minutes , versatility and the added bonus of being a good character + does not get injured much . I think he's had a hard ride this season being played in what to my mind is his worst position - in the middle of the park a lot  ; wide left is his best position I think but more than adequate at wing back , full back or right midfield . He must be a managers dream .

I think he should go if he get's the chance - for me he needs a fresh challenge to further his career.

If DA is heading back to the possession football ethos, Clifton and Tbf a few others will struggle for minutes. I agree Harry is versatile and has an incredible engine on him but first touch, vision and accurate passing aren’t really his strengths. He’ll probably get another year with us but we need upgrades in a few starting positions.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Wilson will surely want out. Clifton should probably move on for his career, but I’d be surprised if we don’t offer him a decent contract. I’d offer Green a contract as well. At this level his energy and commitment has a role to play. I suspect both Maher and Glennon will leave.

Any Mansfield or Stockport cast offs that we’d like as they strengthen for the step-up?
