I cannot with confidence say that Thompson is good because the only time I’ve seen him was last week against Stockport, and he was abysmal, but I would assume our best midfield is Thompson, Hunt and whoever.

I know Hunt has his enemies, but how could having him in the side possibly be negative, considering what we’ve seen in the last 2 home games?

If he’s fit, I’d play Hunt every game. He’s hit and miss, but right now we have nothing.

I mean this sounds ridiculous, but at the moment you just never know, where did this come from?

When I saw the team, I thought that the midfield looked terrible on paper, and it was even worse on grass.

Looks like he decided to go more battling and pragmatic, and binned off Arthur, who is the only one who looks technically good enough for us, but ultimately doesn't really do much in term of goals or assists.

The midfield we have is simply not good enough, whichever combination you decide to pick. there are just too many weaknesses in there, and I'm still baffled as to how we have ended up with not one, not two, but three inexperienced loan players in and around the team. It's extremely poor recruitment and asking for trouble.

Other teams don't arrive at BP with those inexperienced players anywhere near the starting eleven.

Thompson is a walking injury I’m told by an acquaintance who supports one of his former clubs. Even when he does play, he’s a banker to be subbed as he can’t last more than 70 minutes.

Let’s be honest. The only reason Harry Clifton is anywhere near this squad is because he’s a Grimsby lad. So what? So are thousands of us!
You can’t try to play a passing style of football with Harry Clifton playing 90 minutes in centre midfield.
He has zero ZERO qualities to be a professional centre midfielder, poor touch, poor passing, poor technique, poor decision making.
Oh yeah but he runs around a lot and has a great engine, so? So does most other league 2 midfielders but they also don’t give the ball away constantly.
He wouldn’t get a game for Town reserve teams of years gone past let alone the first team!
Sooner he leaves the club the better so we can get past this ‘oh but he’s a Grimsby lad’ balderdash.
