Plural? I think we only made one real guilt edge chance which the keeper saved very well from Paddy.
He headed one over too. |

Cant fault the effort as it was there, worked very hard and with the formation while dominating the midfield it left us short up top.....Makreth very wasteful with crosses all night, had his fullback on toast but struggling to think of a single cross he put in than gave someone an opportunity.
Should he have gone with that formation? myself i dont blame him for trying as the last couple of 4-4-2 games have been flat and for large parts we looked good but it left LJL isolated, tried to change it with a double substitution but we lost a bit of impetus with that......thought he could have thrown another sub on late on as a statement of intent.
Should he go now? Well not on tonights game in isolation but repeated failures to beat mediocre but organised sides, the squad he has assembled just isnt balanced enough and the complete blind faith in LJL (who personally i thought played ok tonight) to be the difference between winning and losing all starting to tot up..
Agree that we lost impetus with the changes, we weren't dominating the middle of the park anymore. Having said that he had to gamble. |

Too many draws. A problem that has dogged us for the last 2 seasons. Without a potent striker, all the good work up to the final third is a complete waste. May as well just lump it up and hope for the best.

Not at all happy with what ive witnessed tonight saw the game similar to Moosey though Aswad my MOTM by a country mile.Town played some neat passing football between the boxes for most of the game the players put a proper shift in from 1-11 but if you cant get 3 points against that sort of limited opposition you wont be going up anytime soon.Painful though that maybe that`s a fact and I personally feel like we have a squad more than capable of being Champions in a very poor League 4-5-1 at home to a team struggling near the bottom and that 1 not being a goalscorer tells me someone doesn`t know what he is doing?None of what`s been said about the game or tactics will affect Hursts position but the 800 missing fans will SACKED IN THE MORNING

We hammered them 0-0. Great effort by all the players but we over played it in the final third against a packed defence. Lenny did well on his own but if we set up like that then people need to get in and around him in the box to support the attacks. Most of our efforts were long range and when crosses came in we had no-one sharp enough to attack the loose balls. I am beginning to think that against these sort of teams at home we need another physically strong player who is good in the air can also finish things off. Pittman is ideal but as we know we do not have his services at present and there are doubts about his fitness. I wish Hurst the best of luck in his search. Just a word about Aswad, at first I was worried he might have come back in a bit early, but credit to the lad he did very well and lasted the pace, top effort.

Enjoyed tonight bar the score, good to see us playing it mostly on the floor and we as supporters should encourage this. Regarding a new striker I wonder if its a fruitless task, whos gonna release a decent forward on loan. If we kept the same formation as tonight but added a physical presence in the mould of Cockerill/Groves we might get on the end of some of these decent situations. Crossing to the diddy men of Nielson, Brown, Paddy & Mckreth most defences in this league would take that every day of the week. Just wondering if a big strong attacking central midfielder might be easier to attract here?

Perhaps if JF splashed the cash on a massive birthday cake we could tempt toure? |

Got to give all the players 10 out of 10 for effort but cant be doing with the formation. How can a team play 80% in the opposition half and not score????? This has to go down to the managers tactics and football philosophy. You have to go Hurst |
| 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.
