Quoted from grimsby pete
All the talk of creative midfield long ball short ball ect ect,

If we are winning most weeks who cares how we play ?.

Goals and points are all that counts,

Having said that I think we will mix it up a bit,

With speedy runs down the wings and the long ball to Hanson.


Totally agree Pete. The aim of the game is to win. A good manager will get the best out of the players he has got, with maybe aiming longer term for a style of play that is easy on the eye, but the only thing that matters is goals and winning games.

We won 16 games last season - we need to be aiming for 20 + wins for any chance of Top 7 and an exciting season will be in store

Hess and Clifton  dropping behind Vernam or Cook. Then Green and Hanson up top


Not sure your tactic of starting with 10 men is the right way to go personally.


"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!!!"

Perhaps he’s taking our sending off record into account !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

No one here minded Jack Lester being Jack Lester..



Speak for yourself. I was always a little uncomfortable with the way he went to ground at times, especially as he was good enough a player on his day to do more damage when staying on his feet.

I don't really agree with the view that there is nothing wrong with 'buying' a foul as it is just cheating for me. Akinde in particular is an expert at this sort of thing - big and strong when he needs to be but (apparently) pathetically weak at other times. Unfortunately, referees seem to take the modern view espoused by pundits that getting yourself into a position where you can then needlessly fall over is deserving of a free-kick/penalty. If they were going to be fair, they would penalise the same players when they back into defenders. You shouldn't be allowed to get away with being both 'strong' and 'weak' depending on what benefits you in a particular instant.

Not sure where you get the height thing from? Pett, Toffolo, Freck, Eardley, Andrade, Anderson, McCartan, O'connor all relatively small. Thats 8 of our side, Shackell, Bostwick and Akinde had height and Power,

We were actually not a big side at all.



Perhaps by height advantage he meant the height that elbows were thrown at our centre-back?

One of the few highlights of non league was thrashing the Imps at SB when we beat them 1-4 and nearly every goal they were out muscled.

I could be wrong here (haven't bothered to check) but didn't Josh Gowling play for the Imps in that thrashing?!
