If we can produce the same type of football we saw in the Notts County game then we will be very competitive and at the right end of the table.

Are they as good as people are making out? A young defender from a recently relegated side with a decent amount of FL experience but probably not the best centre back in the division. A centre back from the Scottish Championship who was very well thought of but not so highly rated at Crewe. A striker/winger who at almost 22 has only one appearance in the FL and was last playing in the Spanish third division without pulling up any trees. And Whitehouse is a good player but certainly no world beater.

We're still some significant quality away from being even considered for the play offs in my opinion. At the very least we need at least one quality striker (realistically we need two though), I'd like to see at least another quick, skillful wide player come in, a central midfielder if Summerfield doesn't sign and a dominating centre back.



It's the sum of the parts together that lead to success and not just individuals.

It's only league 2. We are Grimsby Town. Play offs an absolute minimum. It's time we pushed this club forward as we've been stagnating for fifteen years or since John Fenty arrived - take your pick.


We are only Grimsby to be honest (that was hard to type) we have no more right then say Oldham or Tranmere, if we get to the play offs we get there on merit not because we are Grimsby.
Not being funny cos I would of said a similar thing a few years ago but I think now having that mindset and a lot of us do,only puts the pressure on. It's good to see the poll is showing people are being realistic this year, it might just be a turning point.

Absolutely I agree. However, even Accrington with their small budget had two players with real quality: Billy Kee and Sean McConville. That can make the difference in tight games, a bit of magic from somewhere. I don't think we've got any real quality in the squad as it stands but I certainly don't think we'll do badly under Jolley.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.
