451/433 with Hendrie joining the midfield 3 Rose and Vernam wide and Dennis up front.

Not bad, good to see us not hoofing it up today. Defence looks pretty solid (Still Ring not good enough woefully slow with little positional sense). Lack of cutting edge but keep doing what were doing and one of those throughballs/crosses will land at our feet in the box.

Strange what happens when we don't play our two oldest and slowest players. We're playing with some energy, pressing high, playing with freedom. RHJ, Hess, Rose and Vernam are standing out for me. Dennis isn't the sort of striker to be played up top on his own.
Only real negative is Ring when hes defending hes been caught out a few times.

Skybet were offering 7/1 for town to win and both teams to score. Not a maths or betting expert but I believe that means we have to score two in one game. Might have been tempted by 33/1

I want us to bring Burrell on for Dennis and put him wide and move Rose central. Give the young lad a run around and something new for Carlisle to worry about.

Since Pringle went we have no one who can take corners and free kicks or cross a ball 😤😤😤
|
| 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.

Central defence on the front foot, played very well and smothered their forwards.
Hess and Clifton best two central midfielders on the park. When was the last time we could say about our midfield being better than our opponents?
Nearly 90 minutes under Ahkeem's belt.
And Vernam rounds off a good performance with a superb cross for the winner.
Not a great game and plenty still to work on, but a bit of progression and a noticeable improvement in how quickly we won the ball back with younger and quicker players on the pitch.

Not getting carried away, but that was better, not great, just better
Defence did it's job, macca didn't make a save I don't think?
Hess is a league 1 player, simple as that
Clifton back to how we remember
Vernam on his day, is a joy to watch, one of them players that gets you excited when he has the ball
Rose did well
Dennis anonymous, but that's the kind of striker he is, reminds me of Amond, if we had a creative midfielder he would do better than he is doing.
Easy to say why are we not getting the youngsters on, but would he get this reaction if we lost 1-0, but brought on 3 youth players? Nope, he has a job to keep at the end of the day.

We did a great job of closing down higher up the pitch, thank goodness Collins is on a 2 match ban.
Was worried we hit the Parslow point when he brought Pollock on. Need to put out same 11, poss Grayson for Ring at Notts C.
Hess Clifton Vernam played well, Rose decent, but Davies/Whitmore pairing totally solid and dealt with everything that got near the pen area and I dont think Whitmore lost a header or tackle all game.

I watched the first 65 minutes on ifollow before I had to work and thought we worked harder, didn't look too improved in the first half but came out really strongly in the second half and was enjoying watching. Vernams improving with the game time think he can be just as good as Embleton was in the first half of the season

We've done the double over a team who would have been fairly secure in the play off positions now had they done what a lot of other teams have done to us this season.

Well for me a very competent performance all round.. a return to what I saw as a 4-5-1 and every player looked more comfortable with it...apart from Dennis who for all his hard work and occasional nice lay offs just isn't a man to lead the line in that role.....not a criticism of him it's just not his game...
Bright start...players getting shots off early and high pressing.
Back line dominant....midfield dominant...still just light up front but in all other aspects we looked more like a team pushing for play offs.
Great to grab a late goal as it was looking a nailed on 0-0.....could have even made it 2-0 on the counter late on.
Inconcistancy has done us which is the most frustrating thing when they put a performance in like today.

Have to disagree Jarmo, thought clifton was poor. Distribution was woeful today. I’ll take the win, lots to build on with a very young side out there today
Agree-thought Cliftons free kicks and corners were very poor. Ring played better than usual-Dennis now knows why Thomas got pssed off.Vernham getting better but must get his head up and learn when to pass. Rose's best game yet. 2 centre halves star men. Better all round performance |

Have to agree along with some of his distribution, but his work rate off the ball and winning the ball back time and time again more than made up for those misgivings when looking at his all-round performance.. |

It’s a win and an energetic performance. Maybe it tells us more about the players who didn’t play today than the ones who did.

Did I really hear MJ use the term “final third entries” on Radio Humberside? Next time Matt Dean interviews him can he ask him if he thinks he’s a chilled out entertainer?

Decent enough overall performance and a good result. Very little in the way of quality in the opposition half. But right at the end finally someone (Vernam) put a good cross in and someone (Grayson) gambled and made a good run to the back post and we scored.
I find it quite depressing that such an average team who we’ve beaten twice are 9th and still In with a shout of the playoffs and we’re way down in 17th.

When we first signed Joe Waters he was the all-action player a bit like Clifton can be but Joe’s passing could be woeful in those early days. In fact we used to stand in the Barratt and count how many passes he made to a B&W shirt and it was sometimes less than one in 45 minutes. But like you say with Clifton, Waters more than made up for it. Over the years Joe never became a killer passer of a football but he got a lot better and the crowd loved him for the other aspects of his game that made him a BP legend. Perhaps we shall see Clifton develop this way. |

Absolutely, which makes MJs post match all the more odd as he kept banging on about the '7' players we are missing. He must be talking about Collins, Ohman, Whitehouse, Embleton, Cardwell, Cook and Thomas. A couple of those appear highly unlikely to be here next year (Thomas and Embleton) and of those left I would only say Ohman and possibly (who knows) Whitehouse would really improve upon what was out there today. |

Don’t know whether it’s true, but was told today that Danny Collins will not play for Town again. |

Just my opinion but Dennis has been a bit of a disappointment for me, we can sign better for next season.

Quite a bit on here re Clifton’s game today personally sone of his play illustrated his lack of experience and development areas but he seemed to compensate with his work rate and play his way back into the game towards the end. He’s a young lad and just needs a consistent partner for a run of games.
Thought the lads did well today and putting Hendrie in midfield certainly gave us more balance. A word as well for Whitmore who despite being in and out most of the season came in and did really well.

God I hope not, you could see we were a further 10 yards up the pitch today... I was very much a fan of Collins until this season, would rather have had him as a defensive coach but on the playing staff as an emergency back up if required, in the same vein as Sam Russel... |

Dunno PP. I like him. We haven't really provided him with the bullets have we? Like his movement in the final third even though he doesn't receive the ball too often and I like the way he shoots with very little backlift and he normally hits the target. Looks an intelligent natural finisher to me with a decent first touch and if we can find the missing pieces behind and alongside him, I'm confident he could be the 20+ goal a season striker that we've all craved for since Omar left. Very hard to write him off with how we've been playing and better assessed imagining him in a (hopefully) stronger team.. |

If what I was told is true there is zero chance of him staying in any role under the current regime. |

Fair points.....I'll not write him off yet then....he might not be playing for us next season anyway. |

I think a front 3 that includes Dennis and Vernam backed by a better midfield and a decent left back would cause a serious problem for many defenders in this league. I like Akheem bu he’s only an impact player at present, I just hope that wages saved on Pringle, Rose, Welsh, Thomas etc are spent on next season.

Sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong but is Dennis allowed to play against County as we have loaned him from them?

He might not even be available, didn't look too good when he went off. |

There are some good players in non league, such as Blair Turgott, Bernard Mensah and Mark Beck all worth a punt in my eyes.
