Quoted from WayneBurnettsJockstrap

He could know every players inside leg measurement and their partners cousins names but it still doesn't mean any of them would want to come here.

To quote Ollie, he said "I never knew it was so difficult to get players to play for Grimsby"

Any new signings have to be in it 125% as we all know the amount of fecal matter who have been signed previously over the years who have only come here to keep their bank manager happy,and all those who have flatly refused to move locally.

hurst always had a good eye for a player, he's got 4 years more experience and he's not going into it with 1 hand tied behind his back, with fenty gone.
he presumably trusts Davies and Moore to give him the low down so he's not coming at it from a standing start.
McKeown, Hendrie, Waterfall, Pollock, Clifton,Morais, Rose and Hewitt all give him a solid base to work from, whilst i think Edwards and Spokes have something to offer.The other plus for him is that generally they all work very hard (tonights efforts wasn't a one off) which i think he will approve of

Paul Hurst Black and white army!!

Unfinished business and anything i have ever said negative about him i apologise and think he is absolutely the right man for us right now.

Selection, subs and positional changes had too much of an echo of Holloway. Morais has no left foot, Williams is lightweight, and Bennet has more know how in managing a game than Tilley.

MOM, Waterfall again. Rose and Hewitt not on the same wavelength. Were we pressing or not? Gibson works harder at it than Williams who neshed every tackle. Did they know prospective managers were watching?

Ben needs to demand graft and a mantra of winning ugly by getting to second balls. At least Preston had a better second half until his daft foul late on.

think Tilley, Bennett, Gomis, Green, Sisay,Taylor, Morton and Williams might be looking for game time elsewhere in the New year!

Controversially for some I’d add Rose to that to be honest.

Tonight we defended better overall but in the other 2/3rds we where poor.

There is a lot to do and whoever comes in will need to spend as much time in January on the phone getting the revolving door going as they must on the training ground.

Only 12 points from the playoffs with over half a season left

rose is a strange one isn't he? you'd never know that he'd been a pretty regular player in2 promotion winning sides would you? i also thought he was going to be our driving force, but i don't see that.yet, sometimes he does some pretty good stuff. seems to have the knack of coming away with the ball and can be a damn good passer. i just expected more. Spokes last 2 performances put him to shame imho

We certainly need two strikers and are Wright and Scannell ever going to be fit long enough to make a telling contribution as those two playing wide with Edwards as back up give us an outlet to move forward. Unfortunately think we have to accept Hanson just isn’t going to make any sort of contribution.

No manager could get this lot moulded into a team and the only way we are going to survive is to get 5 experienced pros in all the important positions.

If Hurst has accepted the job, he will have made sure the money is available I am sure.

Funnily enough I’ve been speaking to Paul and he reckons his mate Lenell is coming back as he also has some unfinished business to sort out. Thoughts?
