Honestly if we started a game with pollock, Wright, clifton and Rose all in the first 11, I'd still think we'd have a good chance against at least half the teams in league 2, and there's others coming through too that I don't know as much about yet, I think that's really exciting.

Plus it was cliftons first full season as a regular and people were saying we missed him in some of the games he didn't play, I think he'll be even better this season and I'm interested to see what direction he goes in and what sort of role he carves out for himself

Im told that young Buckley looks one of the better prospects.

Will be difficult if we dont hit the ground running this year as it will more than likely be a shove in for the more experience pro signed through panic, something that hasn't worked for us in the lat few years by getting journeymen in.
If we struggle i would rather struggle with the youth in the team because at least then it builds the experience for the future rather than paying off some expensive has been.
Hoping the youth perform really well this year and we have a league version of the class of 92.

Was a shame that Buckley was injured for the last part of last season as i think we'd have seen him get a few appearances like some of the other graduates.

Anyone know his best position? Thought he was a forward/number 10 type player but from what i can see he's been playing midfield or wide in pre-season.

Maybe he could turn out to fulfill this allusive creative CM role...

It all looks hopefull with this young crop, Clifton is petty much a mainstay in the team now which is pretty impressive at 20.

There's quite a difference in ages in this group though so you'd be looking at the likes of Rose and Wright and I'd suggest this is a must breakout season for them , while the other four are quite a bit younger so I'd have thought we'd be looking at loans for most of them (although Pollock seems closer to inclusion as we are very light at the back).

Heard a lot of positive things about Joe Starbuck. I think I’m right in saying he’s only just 17, played right back last night but normally plays further forward.

"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!!!"

Wright and Rose can both turn defences winning throw ins, free kicks and pens playing across the attack not solely as wide players. Wright has more minutes against senior defenders and has a great work ethic.
Pre season is showing Rose to have greater team awareness now and good heading ability. Both will learn by inclusion in matchday squads and are ahead of Cook for me.

Battersby, Pollock, Wright, Rose. A goalie, centre back, winger and striker. good diversity in positions as well.

Ah diversity. Important nowadays. Which one do you think is the lesbian?

Let's just assume all of them, play it safe, we don't want to get in trouble here.
