I imagine Rose is a good character in the dressing room, he's still captain as well which suggests Artell values his leadership abilities.

But we're very thin on the ground of those with what appear to be leadership qualities (and we're looking from the outside in here) but crucially experience at this level.

Rodgers has a bit.  Clifton a bit.   Then it's a real struggle.  Eisa...Vernam...


Agree there, and it's one thing Artell values. At Crewe he brought in 2/3 old heads to go alongside the young talent to guide it and set standards.

Bit of a risk this one from DA, losing a real leader on and off the pitch as we head into a relegation battle. I’d rather we kept him for the run in and let him leave at the end of the season.


"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!!!"

The problem is budget. If you cannot justify him in the first team, you're paying money for advice and leadership.

I think we need to wage money to improve so have to roll the dice on this.

Luke is a legend and has done us well, and I hope this works for him, but for me, it was the end of the road here, and we need to move on to progress.

Yep.  Paul Green, Nicky Hunt and Chris Dagnell.  I think he brought two of those in.  It's a very young and experienced squad we have now, I'll be amazed if there's not at least two older and wiser heads brought in before the window ends.

I seem to recall Luke saying at the start of the season that he was finding it difficult, at his age, to maintain his fitness and recovery levels in L2.

He has been a diamond for the club since the close season ( NL) under PH, when he came back rejuvenated and not only showed but played to his true potential.

Had two cracking seasons, and he got my vote for player of the year in both.

Good luck Luke.

Highs and lows but always committed and that is something you can't always say.
Cheers Luke.

Had a lot of decent centre halves in my 60+ years supporting town but not too many were better than Waterfall in the air. One of the best headers of the ball, in both areas, that we’ve had. Good luck to him deserving of another couple of seasons playing and I hope he has more success.

I've been watching Town for over 50 years and I have to say that the play off campaign was the most incredible two weeks I can remember. Luke was a huge part of that and so I am sure I speak for all of us when I say that  none of us will ever forget that fortnight and his part in it.  He performance at Wrexham in particular was immense.

What a guy.

Wishing him the very best of luck in the rest of his career.
