I hope Paul Hurst watches this video. Especially the part about Alan Buckley.

Buckley could not care less about who the opposition was, how they played or what their tactics and systems were.

Nothing on the boards, its all "about us" !

Get the ball wide, quality crosses into the box and most importantly "pass and move" !

How refreshing !

I think he summed it all up at the end. Team spirit with the right recruitment and he praised Hursts' ability. A positive future is not about journeymen, outstanding quality players but about those who are going to bond together for the benefit of the club.

As he pointed out Buckley had respect and the players played for him, and he respected them and that is what we need this coming season. Players who believe in Hurst, Grimsby Town, and the future of a new beginning for a sleeping giant.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Always got to listen to what that man says.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

But PH is not on his own when it comes to 'overthinking' the opposition. Seems to be the modern way - especially among lower leagues
How can we stop other teams playing
I agree by the way - get a system and let the opposition worry about us
Buckley was brilliant - 442, pass and move, balance throughout the team
I can't see how those principles need to change

But it is a fact that a number of teams now play not to lose - and it is very hard to stop a long ball lump it team dominating a match

We need a definite style - too often we fall between two stools IMO
Neither slick passing and fast breaking or strong long ball

Team spirit, bonding and togetherness not a problem with PH - just hope he can find some gems in the summer to gives us that bit of class you need at all levels

What genius thinks you shouldn’t listen to John McDermott? Wanna say why?

That’s to the phantom red crosser by the way

I understand what you are saying about teams that come set up not to lose, however many teams came to Blundell Park with this plan but were unable to cope with Buckley's pass and move football.

They all knew how we would play but stopping us was a different matter !

The word legend is massively overused.
John McDermott, absolute Grimsby town legend
