Once LJL went off, and was replaced by Cook, we lost our shape, and never looked like scoring again. In the second half, Town must have heard that Maidenhead was playing a gay striker, as it was definitely a case of "BACKS AGAINST THE WALL BOYS"
Are you insinuating that when the pressures on our lads can`t take it?

Southwells movement and lack of instinct stands out a mile in games like that, Colbeck fired in some lovely crosses in the first half but Southwell nowhere near any of them. Should have been 4 up by half time despite a slow start, i think Pearsons goal came at a bad time for us ironically as the players just took that as a signal the game was won and all must have had 40 winks at half time.
We are through and this game will soon be erased from our memories.....unlike Lincoln hahaha.
Possibly because Colbecks end product is usually sadly lacking and the forwards weren't expecting them.

A decent forward should always put himself in the right position for a good cross even if 9 out of 10 are crap, to blame Colbeck for others failings is wrong

Six of one and half a dozen of the other
When it comes off (such as Hannah stepping up to the mark last week) it's great for scoring opportunities but if the correct cross doesn't come in it must frustrate the striker in the box making pointless runs
Then again Lineker always made sure he did the run just in case and he wasn't a half bad striker and goalscorer in his day

Definite game of 2 halves. It was a bit of a mis-match in the first half as we were far, far superior and could have had 5 or 6 but fair play to them in the 2nd half, they came out and gave it a real go and could have snatched an equaliser.
Alex Rodman our best player today.
Ah, what might have been . We were poor first half, looked a bit scared of you TBH, and were perhaps lucky to be only 2 down at the break (though the one time Danny Green tested your keeper it needed a good stop to keep it out). If we could have played all 90 minutes like we did the 2nd half... Counting our blessings, we were at least at the right end of the ground to see most of the action close to! Had a great day out (never mind the result), thank you Grimsby Town. Good luck for the rest of the season

Glad you enjoyed the day mate. Good luck to Maidenhead too, if you play like you did in the 2nd half on Saturday you'll soon be storming up that league.

Cheers guys.
This season's Trophy draw has been brilliant for us travelling fans. 4 away ties, 3 seaside trips (to South, West and East coasts) and 3 grounds we have never been to before. Won't forget this one in a hurry.
Now to get our league season back on the rails... In 4 months I feel I've aged 4 years as we slid from playoff hopefuls in September to relegation hopelesses by Christmas.

You must take heart from your second half showing, the goal seemed to give the team belief and it was a nervy uncomfortable 45 mins for us, although we were never at our best. Your manager must have said go out and give it a real go in the second half and it so nearly got you a replay at least. Best of luck for the rest of the season. By the way I liked the look of your number 7
