Good for 60 mins, then it fizzled out a bit, with a very poor Gillingham huffing and puffing, but not really getting anywhere near Eastwood, who had no saves of any note to make.

Thought we were excellent at the back and Rodgers is one hell of a centre back, and again, my MOM.

Midfield worked well, with Conteh making the game look easy and Harry full of running, which nearly brought him our third but for a good save from their keeper, but it was a nice height for him. Holohan tidy and busy and took his goal well.

Thought Gnahoua started to show what he can do and has very good close control. He also got back well and won a great defensive header at the back post, showing he is getting fitter and working hard. Eisa and Rose also worked hard without much reward.

Very good 90 mins which we mainly controlled against a team of no mugs, so well pleased with that.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Harvey Rodgers is the best centre half in the league!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Rodgers and Maher are an excellent centre back pairing and together with Danny Rose and Arthur G all had outstanding games. It looked to me like Harry had a bit more freedom today and had his best game of the season so far.

Gillingham, for all their pedigree, looked a bit disjointed and never really laid a glove on us. All in all, an excellent afternoon.

Brilliant performance. Had them on the rack for long periods so maybe could and should have had more. None of our lads had a bad game. Felt as though we threatened a lot more through the wide players today which was pleasing given many including myself thought we’d struggle going forward after yesterday’s disappointment.

Another tricky fixture negotiated. Played 6 including four against teams in the top 7 and we’ve got a decent 9 pt return whilst remaining unbeaten at home.

Fair one to their fans who travelled in good numbers a very long way and got an absolute stinker in return.

Rodgers and Maher could well be the best centre half partnership in the whole division.

Better tempo from us from the off, high press, energy deserved the lead.
Second half same story up until 60 mins when a couple of players started to fade.....Hurst has to make subs....yes we were comfortable but we had lost control of the game possession and territory wise....instead he waits until an absolutely fcked Rose dallies on a counter and they go straight up and give us a scare. 87 mins he brings on subs.....its just too late and leaves on a fcked Rose...risking injury were not necessary and were don't have cover.

Good 3 points...Good team performance...Still things to improve on.

Excellent, Maher, Eisa, Holohan, Rodgers, Rose, outstanding and the rest were not far behind.  Best  home performance I have seen in a long time. It was dominant and suffocated Gillingham. We looked a very good team utm

Really good performance all around. I was really impressed with how well the midfield gelled with Holohan and Clifton getting forward when required and Holohan, especially dropping back into the centre to keep the ball moving a lot of times. Conteh there as the backstop to allow them a bit of freedom. I thought Gnahoua was quiet during the first half, but did a great job in the second, both in attack and defence.

Defensively, the full-backs were solid, but I'm a little concerned that they won't offer enough going forward as neither managed a decent ball into the box when well placed that I can remember. Actually, Mullarkey might have managed one in the first half but there's lots of room for improvement. Central defenders did really well. Keeper was fine but for his kicking and one worry in the first half where they threatened after he dithered and failed to come out and win one down our left.

Eisa worked his socks off and Rose was utterly selfless again as well. The issue, of course, is that both of these two were knackered long before the end and, had we had replacements available on the bench, they'd have been hooked with 20 minutes to go.

A promising cameo from Andrews who put his foot in and looked almost as calm on the ball as Conteh. Wouldn't surprise me if he stepped into the same role when Conteh is away on international duty.
