So we are going to have a strikeforce of Hanson and Grettle (well Green but's it close)?

Both Green and Hanson will expect to start/require a strike partner so you'd think that means 2 up front. Does this mean a continuation of 5-3-2? We've also apparently been in the market for Devitt so maybe 442.


Not so sure about 442, we were our most fluent with 433 last season, but if Cook, Vernam, Whitehouse and Wright are all still here in August then 4132 may not be a bad guess for Jolley’s plans.

It's been said before by others, but I feel that 3 or 5 at the back is too advanced for players at this level.  It has to be 4-4-2, unless the players really buy into MJ's wing back philosophy and completely stick to his instructions and 'get it' from day 1.

I know that I've played a game recently in a 4-3-3, and even that was a nightmare to understand!  A full back needs a winger/wide midfielder to pass to, or you'll constantly give the ball away.  Well, at least that's MY excuse!

Couple of people don’t seem too happy at this signing, I can see what they’re saying but I think you need to look at the bigger picture with this one.

Is he going to score 20 goals this season? Probably not. I’d also highly doubt he’ll figure in all 46 league games. But look at what he could give us. He’ll provide a way of us holding the ball upfield, too often last season we cleared the ball and it just came straight back at us. He’ll be a threat in the air, not necessarily scoring himself but winning flick ons and knock downs. He’ll also be good at defending set pieces with his height and presence. He gives us an option to play in a different way and change the game, not by just going long which some naively think you have to when you have a 6”4 striker, but by working the ball into wide areas to deliver crosses towards him. We’ve also lost a lot of experienced heads in the dressing room recently and this guy will cover that.

All in all, I’m very happy with the signing of James Hanson. I think he’ll be the type of player who will win us points, maybe not by scoring bucket loads and grabbing the headlines, but by doing a lot of the unseen donkey work. That for me is priceless at this level.


"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!!!"

Presumably, when he came to the ground to sign,  he nearly came by cab?  (Cryptic comment).

493 games  141 goals tells me he has not been injury prone during his career like some have said,

Started 29 games last season with another 5 coming on as a sub.

Welcome James hope you strike up a good partnership with Matt Green.
