I don't think the squad that came 11th was better individually or technically than this one now .

But for sure in terms of organisation and character it was .

It was a sum of it's parts and everyone knew their roles really ,throw in a handful of quality loans and we had a decent side for this level .

I don't know what happened with Hurst's recruitment but I don't think he fares well with more money and seemed to go away from picking players to fit his system and decided that he would just pick up the best players he could and fit them into any system - maybe he wanted to be more flexible / reinvent himself or it was under the instruction from higher up that a better style of football was needed .

I do find this 'Grimsby way ' thing quite strange does Stockwood mean going back to the 80's and 90's ?

The only way that has given us any success over the last 20 years is through grit and determination both with Hurst and Slade , the teams could play a bit but it was more down to basics .

Lower down hardly any teams have much glory with total football , it seems more the basics and/or having the best players .

Maybe Arteĺl can break the mould
