Quoted from diehardmariner

In 2015/16 we had the core of a side that had failed in the last 3 attempts at the play-offs, brought in an aging centre-back (Gowling), lost one of our better players in the summer (Magnay), had a guy who apparently his legs had gone (Disley) in the middle, a guy on the wing who was erratic at best and not good enough for the step-up above (Arnold), same on the other wing was a 35-year-old who was binned off by the side promoted at our expense (Monkhouse). Up top we had an unproven at that level Bogle and a lad dropping down the levels with an average strike rate (Amond).

Good post diehardmariner. I remember speaking to ex pros and some have loved the fan base and history of the club at Grimsby . Some clubs may not be as supportive of hard work and commitment due to their location eg more affluent and inferior history. I think this maybe one of the reasons why players have flourished here as opposed to other clubs. Fernando Torres I remember said similar as well in a documentary on him on Amazon prime. When he walked on the Anfield pitch and knew the love of the fans he said Iam going to be a success here which he was. Went to Chelsea where the set up was different and subsequently struggled .

One life,one love .
