I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

They were a very good team but their strikers couldn't hit a cow's bottom with a banjo . Poor goalkeeping decision cost us two points.

Not sure they will be top three myself.

They were the leagues top scorers last season, but like today and at Donny the other night, they didn't win the games they should have.

Doubt we'll see a better footballing team at BP this season, but we may see a more efficient team or two.

Reality check…..
Could’ve been 3 points, could’ve been a loss and 0, but, on balance and all things considered, a point gained against a very good, established team. Four points in a week and on we go….

Mansfield are not the new Real Madrid . No wins in three away . Play offs for them if they improve their finishing

You are missing the point, what should be lauded is they have not conceded in four games, you only need the one goal.

You don’t need to be Real Madrid to get out of this league .. for me they showed enough to be almost certainly be in the mix at the end of the season at the top end of our league

Very much like the cattenacio system used in Italian football in the late 50's through to the early 1970's. Defend in depth, create 3 or 4 scoring opportunities with the strikers having the ability to convert 1.

Pretty sure they still do that don’t they? Never seen anything else from Italy!


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Not just defensive play. Sometimes they bribe the referees to help them score goals as well.

We were without Maher, Khan, Wilson, and Pyle is not fully match fit. So it’s a good point for us I think, and 4 from the last two games is good going in my book.

To be fair, they had two of their forwards in defence in the second half!  

I'm guessing it was due to injuries but they started the game with Jordan Bowery at right-back and Lucas Akins ahead of him.  Second half Akins dropped back with Bowery partnering Aden Flint at centre-back.

Bowery especially looked like he had played there all his life.

It helped that he had absolutely nothing to do. Surely it would have been worth putting Vernam on down the left channel up against Akins & Bowery?

There was a gaping weakness and we didn’t even attempt to exploit it.

Think you’re assuming that Vernam would take his full back on? Great idea but so far he just runs towards his marker stops and lays it off!!

Hoping when Khan returns we might see someone with a bit of pace who is willing to risk losing the ball in his attempt to create more and better goal scoring opportunities.
