A fair assessment from Hurst - at least he's not trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the Shrews fans!

I do still think he is pretty quick, however, especially in comparison to most strikers who are there to compete physically with defenders. Not lightning pace that is going to take him away from everyone, but quick enough to make a difference.

Palmer did much better for us with his goalscoring than he has anywhere else (though admittedly at a lower level) and I don't doubt that much of this was because of the amount of running LJL was doing for him.

Danny Blanchflower would have called Hurst's statement "equalising before the other side scores". No he isn't pulling the wool over, no doubt about that. But he is forestalling criticism from the fans because he no doubt remembers what happened here. Hurst never appreciated that BP fans didn't dislike LJL as such, they realised what his strengths and weaknesses are. What used to get up their collective noses was Hurst's refusal to trust a genuine goalscorer to play with him, possibly apart from Palmer, and using formations that often left LJL isolated and the ball just being whacked upfield and coming straight back.

The notion that this useful but limited conference striker could do a job in league one amuses me. Add to that a career threatening injury and it makes Hurst look really narrow in his thinking - going back for this player and actually rating him as a L1 calibre striker. I agree with the earlier comments about his contacts/network. I think he's really limited - much more so than Slade and probably even Bignot.

Glad he's gone there he's shhhhhit 😂😂😂😂😂


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.

A good job they had moved ground otherwise they would have had to employ an army of canoeists to drag the balls out of the River Severn.

What Hurst says in his interview is a great summary of Lenny.

Easy to forget that we gained 6 more points and and came higher in the table when Lenny was played up top

Only Grimsby fans could have a 20 goal a season striker and call him excrement! Good player, think he's a Heskey type in most fans don't rate him but players love playing with him.
