Is it me or is he a lot better than we’re giving him credit for? He’s been absolutely brilliant lately, his link up play is an absolute class above this level, his skill set means we can play one striker, and he’s chipping in with a good amount of goals. As a lone striker playing up top I think he’s not far from the best we’re had since being back in the EFL.

Agreed. MOM today he was unplayable. Bet he wishes all defenders were like Notts County's!

Got to BP from work at half time so didn't see the first half.
Thought the second half was his best 45 in a Town shirt.
Great finish


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 think he’s ideal for the way we play, really seems to have bought into it and is getting the goals now aswell, really good for the young lads developing round him aswell as he always seems to be able to do something with the ball anytime they give it to him

OP sums it up perfectly for me, his all round game is brilliant for this level. He’s got better as time has gone on and he’s got fitter - you can certainly tell he’s played most of his career a division or two above League Two.

He may not do it this season, but he’s capable of 20+ goals in a half decent side.

He’s been supurb after gaining full match sharpness, and his recent goals have given him a huge boost of confidence. He’s a real all round striker, great link up play, decent in the air, looks to be a good finisher and absolutely works his socks for the team.

Isn’t his contract up in the summer? If so we should be speaking to his agent now.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

With the system we play now, he knows sooner or later we'll get the ball back from defence, breakaway and suddenly he's got 2/3/4 players up with him so he's not really playing a lone striker role in the route 1 sense but his awareness of where to be when we do break is invaluable and he makes goals for others as well as himself
