Woking are a decent team with big men all over the pitch that made it difficult for us to get any football going . Defence stood firm against set pieces brilliantly from start to finish and a big tricky guy up front who loved to run at our defence. Taylor up front on his own had no look in against their monsters in a back 3 and we played in front of them for long periods especially in the second half . Kept going and didn’t settle for a 0-0 which would’ve be enough an ok result leading to Cliftons smash into the bottom corner . Well done lads . Keep it going and we’ll be right up there no doubts .
I think we will find it easier against sides like Altrincham who try to play football, as we can out-football them. Think we will find it harder against the more physical sides such as Woking and Bromley, so that was a great result today. Watched the Bromley v Torquay match on BT this afternoon, the Bromley players are all flipping massive!

Don’t know how the town fans sounded on the radio but I thought we were a bit muted for most of the game not until the goal anyway, I think that was down to us being stretched the whole length of the pitch in a open terrace and also around the corner behind the goal.
As for the game, agree with most people on here, Woking centre half’s were man mountains, Taylor got nothing from them all game and for such a huge bloke their centre forward was quite skilful and a handful for Waterfall but once again he showed he’s the best centre half in this division (Towler a very close 2nd)
Woking were a well organised side and will be up there at the end of the season but Town now should fear no team in this division.

Agree that Effiong looked a handful for Woking. Good on the ball for a big man and worked a few openings.
A reasonable number of half chances, but very few that needed saves from either keeper, Fox having the only saved strike that I can remember. A fairly even game which we perhaps edged as the second half passed by.

Just back in GY. Tense game, rode our luck at times, played well at times, wasteful at times but again 100% effort throughout.
Woking a very big physical challenge, probably the first one this season, we stood up to it well and after a nervy start settled in and played the possession well.
Guilty of overplaying at times and when we did get in behind the pull backs and crossed just not quite hitting the targets.
Kept plugging away and became more dominant as the game went on but very few attempts at goal, Fox hitting a beauty that the keeper saved very well after a direct surging run.
Time running out and super sub max wright enters the fray, little bit more impetus from him, a great shout from Harry, a great pass from Max and boooooommmmm!!! Sweet as you like, great goal from 20-25 yds.
Just the 5 mins left to bring on Pearson and concede ground for the crosses to come but we survived.
Hard work this week against a stubborn Woking outfit but still 3 points in the bag.
M.o.m Fox for me.

Town just kept going and seemed confident that they would eventually break Woking down, provided they didn't concede. I don't think there are many Grimsby sides in the last 10 years that would have come here and got 3 points with scoring just one goal. The strike for our goal will get the headlines but the defending was exceptional and the clean sheet a fitting accolade.

Surely this thread should be retitled ‘Woking From Home (WFH)’?

They were the biggest side I’ve ever seen, absolute freakshow, was like the team of monsters in Space Jam.

On the way from the car to the ground I was reflecting on the same game in 2013 when Dis scored a winner in the 90th minute, I thought to myself wouldn’t a winner at that point of the game be nice today, I can tell you now it was.
This was a really big result against a physically strong, well organised and in recent weeks free scoring Woking side. The players deserve lots of praise for their resilience and application as it didn’t quite click like it has done in the last 2 games, they where rewarded for this with a well worked and well finished goal.
All the players deserve praise but once again Waterfall and Towler stood out as part of the strong spine we currently have.
One thing to point out is that today we lost possession of the ball a lot, well more than normal, sometimes quite softly but the desire and application to tackle and win it back isn’t something I can say I’ve seen in the past, it gives me a really confident feeling that that attitude is spot on.
The players worked their socks off in what has been a busy schedule when you look at the away miles covered as well as the fixtures it wasn’t the prettiest for sure but a massive win today.
UTM!
thats an excellent summing up of our performance
