Just back.

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Kiernan looked very busy and got himself a couple of chances. He probably should have done better with the header from the corner.

There were a couple of dodgy clearances and Amos played a few poor passes inside, but both can be excused by the weather.

MOM was Glennon for that outstanding tackle in the corner.

I agree about Kiernan. He's looked good every time i've seen him.
With Khan due back, and Wearne/JMD not getting in the starting 11, the depth of wingers look's good for the season IMO.

Anybody know what attendance was can’t find it?

Can’t argue with calling it off. Would’ve been gutted if a key player got injured on that.

Shite journey home though. M62 closed. Didn’t realise. It’s tough when all your games are “away” games.

The BBC forecast at lunchtime was for 2 hours of light rain in the Grimsby area.  So much for far more accurate weather forecasts these days.

Sorry that the M62 was closed.  Saw that warning as we turned off for Howden.

A neighbour was travelling north of Newark on the A1 last night,  they had to pull off due to the heavy rain making driving unsafe.  The first time they have had ever had to this.

Besides Waterfall it would have been useful to have had some other Town players last night:  Joe Waters, Mike Brolly, Kevin Drinkell and Harry “Rainman”.

Gallimore. He can drink like a fish.

I've found the BBC's forecasts to be absolutely useless since they sacked off the met office and started using 'meteogroup' as their weather provider a few years ago. If you visit the met office website directly I find their forecasts are much more accurate, and they'd been forecasting sustained heavy rain for Cleethorpes throughout the evening since at least lunchtime yesterday.

Just one of those things.  No-one expected the rain to be that heavy and for so long.  There's heavy rain and then there's that, it was just biblical.  

Ground is rock solid so doesn't absorb the water, grass has probably got an extra half inch on it to factor in the dry weather which doesn't help with standing water.  Perfect storm, literally.

Fair play to the ref for trying to get it on, everyone was owed that.  Personally thought it was a no-go from the first few minutes when it was evident it was holding up in patches and it just got worse as it went on.  Right decision as those conditions become farcical and frankly dangerous.

Thought we looked sharp again and our wingers were causing major problems.  Interesting again that he's gone with Glennon on the wing whilst Maguire-Drew just sat on the bench.  Glennon's so good that he'll cause issues wherever he plays.  I personally think he's more effective from deeper but I can't say it makes us less of a threat when he is operating further up.  I guess Wearne was rested after two starts but for JMD it feels like the writing may be on the wall a little for him.  Crofty was talking about it on the radio before hand saying he feels that Hurst probably doesn't trust him to last a game and then questioned in a roundabout way how badly the player wants it.  With Khan coming back into it we're overstocked with options wide now (Wearne, Kiernan, Khan, JMD plus Glennon and Clifton who can operate there - at a push you've got Khouri too).  Wouldn't surprise me if we see JMD going out before the window shuts.

Listening to Crofty, he was fairly brutal on JMD. Questioning not only fitness but desire and attitude.
I think I agree that he might get moved on. So talented but I imagine his career will drift around non league unless he really knuckles down.

Have we all dried out yet??

Would be a nice gesture from the club to give any Carlisle fans coming back for the re-arranged match a pint or something.
