To be fair, he is a one man spelling test 🤨

Considering he's on the teamsheet at the beginning of the thread....hardly.

Not overwhelming nor underwhelming. I like Holohan, he's a steady player for league 2. Hope he takes his chance tonight. Still unsure on a couple of others but you have to give them a headful of games before you start to judge

Gnahoua’s

Nice evening for it. And still 5G reception in the main…this must be what it’s like to support PSG.

Quoted from It Bites

Gnahoua’s

Well done! See...you can do it if you try!

That's the team I would have picked -that's why I put down 4goals on D.B 's competition.

Holohan? Against Salford? At Blundell park? On a Tuesday?! That’s a proper defa vu shudder right there…..

Here we go think today will help us see if we are going to be competitive this season

Eastwood not having the best of starts.

Goal 1 0 up Eisa

Get in 1-0 Town

Referee is dreadful

Ref isn't great but Salford players aren't helping. Naughty challenges off the ball and little nicks that's some refs see and give and others (Salford refs) don't give.

Would love to win tonight

Hmmm , when wouldn’t you ?

The normal referee for us, is very poor, again.

This refs a cúnt

Ah , the refs boyfriends on the fishy i see

🤣

Gnahoua has looked lively with some decent touches

We're so much better 433 or 41221 or whatever you want to say it is. Enjoying the game so far

Still not created a single chance at home .

Deflected shot

It’s another few weeks til the (posh) rugby world cup..

That's awful on Waterfall how's he get away with that?

On a more positive note, how good is Conteh? He's unreal for this division.

Good half. Better team. Deserve the lead.

Decent enough half. Town doing quite well with good approach play. With it being a newish team not sure yet if we have another gear but i think they might have.
Conteh having a great game and Amos doing well except for his crossing.

HT 1-0 up and a good half for us, once we settled in. We look good going forward and the defence is ok, Amos on left is doing alright and Conteh is pulling the strings.

Conteh is a superb footballer . Far too good for LG2

Quoted from It Bites

Well rounded

Well that was good. High press working well, so let’s hope we can maintain it. Everyone looks on it. New signings much more comfortable on the ball. And Conteh is very good (despite the odd errant pass towards the end of the half). They’ve delivered good corners but not too much else.

The ref was probably watching the sunset.

Imagine being on the docks watching that beauty set over the Dock Tower.

The sky’s nearly as orange as Hursty after pre-season boot camp.

We are pressing really well and they are struggling to deal with it, need another goal they look dangerous from crosses.

hows that not pen on waterfall with this whistle happy ref

good game so far. the crowd (not many spare seats in the main/pontoon) seem up for it too.

the ref has been absolutely woeful. am not sure if hes keeping an eye on the play some of the time. couple of naughty tackles on rose, including where i thought he was stamped on. and he obviously doesnt understand what a foul consists of.

interesting that abo eisa's brother mo eisa has also scored tonight

Highlight of the 1st half Rose whacking the ball and hitting Doig. Rose couldn't stop laughing for the next few minutes!
On a serious note, Town playing well this first half, though not dominating. Amos playing well. Could still go either way, but hopefully a Town win.

Reckon their no4 will be sent off if he carries on.

Regards us. Wingers look much better than the last 2 games, special mention to Eisa as ive not seen much from him from a central position, looks much more comfortable out wide. Holohan is doing well, Amos in play is having a good game (dead balls have been dreadful), other 3 defenders doing well.
Conteh head and shoulders above everyone.

Not able to watch or listen to the game tonight. Judging by comments on here and Twitter it seems we've done well.

I think JS wrote a few weeks back in the Guardian that the best thing a team should do when 1-0 up is keep going as they are, or attack even more. The natural reaction to gaining something is to protect it, but there are some stats out there that suggest that's the most dangerous thing to do.

It's about perceptions, though. If we step up the attacking play and concede, Hurst is accused of being wild or too cavalier. Sit back, and he's too cautious.

Personally, I obviously wouldn't want us to concede. But if it happens, I'd rather it be for going on the attack. When you sit back and concede an equaliser, it's hard to stem the flow. When you concede on the break, you don't have to fight so hard to get back on top in the game.

Vassell and Waterfall were all over each other at their (temporary) place last season.

I thought it was going to kick off but they both rutted their way off the pitch together at full-time, slapping backs like slices of gammon on a meat slicer.

It was like Top Gun but sexier.

Salford down to 10 men.

About time, he was off should have had yellows in the 1st half

Changed my mind, the ref is great

Quoted from lukeo

Reckon their no4 will be sent off if he carries on.

Luke O’ G-funk calling it like a premium rate chat line.

Chapeau.

That took a whopping 3 minutes. Called it.

Did JT just say there was 19 or 90 Salford supporters there

Conteh is a class above

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Did JT just say there was 19 or 90 Salford supporters there

90

Crowd just short of 6,000.

Eisa is a different player now he's on the left wing

Get in 2-0 Town, game over  

Get the fook in.

Great finish by Eisa.

Sublime transition from defence to attack.

Eisa goode 👍

bloody Hurst n his tinkering with team and formation.......

We have now!

1 point outside of the play-offs as it stands  

If anyone is bring nostradamus today I'm predicting another sending off with all these yellow cards....

Quoted from It Bites

Still not created a single chance at home .

sorry, you were saying............??

Quoted from promotion plaice

1 point outside of the play-offs as it stands  

You mean our season wasnt a lost cause after 2 games? Whodathunkit

We,re playing some good football now.

As others have said, Conteh outstanding.

Amos has made us so much more solid down that left side

Amos has had a very good game, some dodgy crossing but solid.

The ill thought out poster on here from Saturday has had a right old learning tonight regarding 'tinkering'.

Good save by Eastwood.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion....happy clappers yours won tonight no different to the this isn't going well brigade winning on Saturday....not everyone has same opinion. Great result tonight we'll done 👏

Grimsby Town won tonight

Well done Town.

Good win and a good all round team performance. Towns impressive pressing stopped Salford playing and was the foundation of the win.
Sending off no doubt helped - and only wished we could have got a couple more which we deserved.
A number of decent performances but will give a special mention to Amos and Holohan who made it difficult not to pick them on Saturday.
At last a system that we seemed more comfortable with.

Nice to get that first win of the season. A good front foot performance from everyone. As JT eluded to ‘round pegs in round holes in every position’.

In Eisa, rose and especially conteh, we have an exciting front line. Rodgers and mullarkey just make us look more solid at the back.

Improved in every transfer window. By Jove it appears we have!

looking forward to hearing positive reviews from Herve, Yoda , It Bites and Son of in tonight's just back thread................

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

Grimsby Town won tonight

Hence the well down town 😉

Great win, everyone had a good game Conteh outstanding just seems to have an extra yard to play in. Good press at the right times as well. Like commentary said round pegs in round holes.

Thats better. . Changes made a differance from saturday , We was a lot more ballanced  overall  On to saturday we go

It was nice of Salford to do their best impression of us tonight, sat deep hoofing the ball aimlessly to a loan striker.

Someone should check of Hurst make sure he's OK. High pressing football, only one deep midfielder instead of 5, loan striker being supported, he'll clearly gone delusional.

In all seriousness, I am still Hurst out. I don't think he's a good manager I didn't in his 1st spell and our best performances seem to always come when he goes against the grain like tonight.

We played well tonight even if we didn't really make full use of it in the furst half, but it also has to be said thats got to be the most unSalford like performances we've seen. They looked like we do most weeks. Eisa and Rodgers all played well, game change completely in our favour with the red, and I'd love to know what Hurst used to blackmail Moddlesbough with into lettibg us have Conteh.

You sound very bitter that Town/Hurst have proven you wrong. Again
