Enough about that to suggest we wont be looking over our shoulder as much this season, but wouldn't go to overboard. The midfield is'nt creative enough for me, and the fitness levels dropped alarmingly  in the last 15.

Hanson looks a handful, and was impressed with Ogbu


I’m getting a bit jack of this lack of creativity spin. Bradford are supposed to be favourites for promotion but who was their ‘creative outlet?’
We certainly created more chances than them.

insufficient from open play, relied on set pieces which need improving on. We wont be ripping through sides with 4-3-3, byt hey ho that's the way Jolley wants to go.

Gotta love TF and all of its' bedroom managers. I guess playing FM for 10 years makes you an experienced manager and tactician these days.

Much improved-more of an attacking team. Hess can certainly take a corner and Hewitt can put a good ball in. Thoroughly enjoyable game.   P.S. Held up on 2 occasions by police to let away coaches go - no show both times

Created loads of chances, their goal was charmed. With a bit of luck we'd have won the game. Excellent first half.Bradford came at us a bit in second. I thought we'd weathered the storm. Great response to going a goal down.
Great to see Town players back slapping each other after tackles and clearances. Looks like we are building a real team ethos. Thought Hewitt ( the useless right back) just edged Hansen and Ogbu for MOM. If we looked tired towards the end, just maybe because we'd put so much effort in. We made a good team look ordinary, I really enjoyed all but one minute of the match.

Really impressed with that. Very good second half and a lot to look forward to.

Whilst Hewitt and Hendrie were very good, I’d like to see a natural LB. Luke was constantly having to check back to get a ball in. Tough choice because they both played well.

Hanson was outstanding, won just about every header he went for but could have done with someone a bit sharper to feed off them, it's no wonder the midfield tired, as they are a 3 they have a lot of ground to cover, Macca was very sharp when called upon. Overall a decent performance with players showing passion,putting their bodies on the line.


Youngs Lower, love the view.

To be fair I would take a fishy user with 10 years FM experience as Town manager over someone like Slade any day!

Brilliant game. Town were excellent and deserved to win the game, I don’t think many could argue that. Loved the intensity we played at, whether that was the atmosphere or if it was just the first game impetus remains to be seen, but encouraging nonetheless.

Special mentions for Hewitt, Clifton and Hanson who were excellent and even Moses Ogbu was a threat with his unpredictability.

Defensively solid, work house midfield and a threat up front sums it up. If the first 2 games are anything to go by we could be in for a treat this season.


"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!!!"
