Thought those two today were fantastic, the best partnership I've seen up top for Town for a long time.
LJL great power and use of the ball, great finish for the first goal.
Pittman bit of a unsung hero today I think, his work rate off the ball was fantastic, he pulled there defenders all over the place and creating room for others.

Could these two be our ticket to promotion??????  


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 commented on Pittmans movement in the first half, he was full of energy and spent a lot of time down our left flank which dragged their defenders across and gave LJL and neilson so much room in the middle and on the right. Excellent movement and great partnership IMO

If there were 22 teams like Alfreton in the division we'd walk the league but we'll have to see against a varierty of different sides (who will have had advance warning of our new weaponry) before we can be sure. We've had lots false dawns before. Saying we've cracked it after one or two games is as bad as demanding the manager be sacked after 3 drawn games.

Still promising times!

Pitmann has such good control and can turn on a sixpence! Great cross for LJL's header and great calm finish for his goal! Another excellent performance today!

THE VASTLY IMPROVED SERVICE FROM MIDFIELD AT SPEED MUST BE A MAJOR FACTOR FOR THE ATTACKING FORCE SCORING GOALS !

BRAVE MOVE BY HURST AND PAYING DIVIDENDS SO FAR - THE CHALLENGE WILL BE AGAINST THE HIGHER RATED TEAMS !

Good combo but just as good if, not better, was the combo of Brown and Paddy in midfield, ably assisted by Clay.

The great thing is the support that the midfield are offering via Brown and Clay. With a fit Hannah and Arnold, and with Mackreath and Neilsen out wide, I think we will destroy several more teams like we did Gateshead.

Gateshead were due a tonking as revenge, even if not taken as such by Hurst - job done.

It would now be great if the team could believe and go out in the same vein and put huge pressure on opponents just like the last two games.

As Lincoln are higher up the league at present, are we rating them as one to be careful of, or do we just tonk them as usual ???

If we can keep Pittman fit I think he'll be key this season.

I think someone on twitter called them The Shop & The Pope which may catch on. Or is the Pope just too tenuous to really take off?

Can they teach Hannah how to do that? With his more natural goal scoring ability coupled with their awareness of the line, he'd be the ideal third striker.

Pittbull & Shop look to be happy with their partnership up front from footage shown over the weekend, genuinely pleased with each other's success.

L J-L still needs to be aware of Pittman's runs in the box though - blazed two over when Pittman was really in the better position to score - this is the next improvement - possibly a training thing to look at, but not complaining thus far with their contributions together up front!!

If it can get better, then the games will bring more spectators in, surely ??
