Dion Dublin summarised things well:  

the keeper had nothing to do, the defence conceded too many chances that a better team would make count.  The defence need to be better.  The midfield also need to be better.  The strikers need to score more goals.

Apart from that we are ok.

If a group of such talented and usually lively players (Henderson aside) can put in such a dreadful and clueless performance, you can sort of understand how the much less-talented GTFC players can often do the same.

It really was utterly dismal.

They should have been piping Dublin's commentary over the PA system. Might have given one or two of them a clue of what they should be doing.

TAA is not a midfielder. Gallacher looks like the new Henderson to me (though a bit quicker), which is a big problem when he's playing alongside the old Henderson.

Foden looked to be trying and did OK, Kane barely received the ball (and I didn't mind seeing him booked for diving after he moved his foot into the keeper's body), Rice improved things a bit, but not much credit for anybody else in that team.

We now deduce - England have a strong first 11, with a few reliable subs. The rest of the squad are probably Scotland-level, which means we may fall short again.

Trippier too old. Henderson too old and should be retired through principle anyway. Tomori probably not good enough. Gallagher just a runner.

With stones, rice and Bellingham we are class. With Sterling back, if Southgate can get over himself, we’ll be ready. But he’ll let his conservative ego get in the way and we’ll fall short again. Which breaks my heart, I’ve seen town reach highs and lows during my time, but never seen England manage what we want and deserve. And is p#sses me off!

Quoted from HertsGTFC
Considering how much it costs to go to a game at Wembley the England players have short changed the support.


To be fair, I’ve just got tickets for the Brazil game in March for me and my lad, only cost £60 for both, didn’t think that was too bad.


"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!!!"
