Grimsby town 2010 - 2019 Best and worst

Nicked this idea off a thread on facebook and have amended it slightly (mods please delete this thread if it’s already been done)

— Best signing  
— Worst signing  
— Worst selling
— Best manager  
— Worst manager
— Best moment
— Worst moment
— Best goal

— Best signing  - James McKeown
— Worst signing  - Serge Makofo
— Worst selling Not necessarily a sold player but releasing Padraig Amond after promotion back to the football league
— Best manager  Paul Hurst, for getting us back into the league
— Worst manager - Russell Slade. His appointment and subsequent losing streak almost got us relegated back to the conference.
— Best moment - Easy, conference play off final, 2016. Even if it was at least a year too late.
— Worst moment - relegation out of the football league, 2010
— Best goal - Nathan Arnold, conference playoff final 2016. Not technically the best goal but for pure emotion it wins it for me.

I expect there’ll be a lot of similar answers in this thread, but, perhaps controversially, for me the penalty shootout defeat to Bristol Rovers hurt more than relegation in 2010.

In my heart of hearts I knew we deserved to go down, but that play-off final defeat felt so unjust.

— Best signing  - Disley
— Worst signing - Nathan Clarke
— Worst selling - Osborne
— Best manager - Hurst
— Worst manager - Slades
— Best moment - Braintree in the playoffs
— Worst moment - Slade's 2nd stint.
— Best goal (most important) - Amond Pen against Braintree in Playoffs.
— Best goal (favourite) - Disley header away at FGR

That's spot on - no pun intended - totally crushing to lose on pens like that, and weirdly inevitable after that incompetent tw@t Joyce didn't send their keeper off

Careful.... Swin doesn't like folk still bringing this up. Hopefully he won't see your post  

Haha, maybe he'll be lenient as it's New Year... and we might be getting Ollie, and...  oh well, probably not, I await my deserved criticism for daring to bring this up!

Worst manager - woods

— Best signing      Omar Bogle ( not necessarily the best player but his goals helped us back into the league and we sold him on for a substantial profit)

— Worst signing    So many but for the expectation we had and the flop he turned out to be - Charles Ademeno

— Worst selling     Not a sale but letting Podge go..... a genuine fans' favourite who the board & management should have fought to keep

— Best manager    Paul Hurst ( if only because he brought us promotion and some hope getting back in the league)

— Worst manager   Neil Woods

— Best moment       Nathan Arnold sealing it. Still sends shivers down my spine now when I see the build up, the goal and his and our celebrations

— Worst moment   Final whistle at Burton.  I couldn't believe our board, management and team had let us down so badly

— Best goal         Nathan Arnold's Wembley goal  ( closely followed by Jamille Matt's winner vs Notts County to seal our FL status )
