Abrahams - killer instinct? His goal record hardly suggests he has that quality!

If we don't make play offs tow things stand out - lack of cutting edge/killer instinct in front of goal and the awful run earlier in season

Torquay flying and Daggers not out of it - so more pressure piling up on us and other teams above those two

Honestly feel if we don't go up this season but can keep bulk of this squad for next season and add a Bogle/Amond-type strike partnership we could go very close next season

But getting strikers of quality is proving harder each season - I'm afraid you have to splash the cash and then convince players that living in and around Grimsby is something to whet the appetite...not easy

We do however need to find a couple of X Factor-type forwards - look how many times Wrexham have scored late winners largely through Mullin/Palmer

For me i'd make 1 change .. Scannell right wing.


But we know PH won't do that against Stockport. I can see Scans and Many starting against King's Lynn.

I’d like to see Many start at some point soon.

Just don’t think Taylor will be dropped…he might have had an off day but he was phenomenal against Chesterfield.  He’s been one of our most consistent performers this season too.

JMD is a frustrating one….has a quality cross and strike in him, but is not blessed with pace and I think his overall fitness is still questionable.

Got home late last night and just got up.
The match strangely had a feel of an end of season dead rubber match.  We had no urgency in the first half and our passing game was not happening effectively.  Start of the second half we improved before dropping off again.
Unlucky maybe to not have scored given our numerous chances but it’s all about putting it in the net and not about almost scored.
Jones and Holohan were too deep and no one carried the ball forward trying to make something happen.  They did hit the post and missed a header in the last minute and they seemed to block everything.
Loved Weymouth, the people and bumping in to Town fans all over on Fri night and Sat morning for friendly chats.
Now we need to get back to our Chesterfield performance mode for Friday against Stockport.

Waterfall motm for me.

When he was on Humberside recently JMD did say his fitness wasn’t quite there and he was doing extra work before and after training.

Quoted from Maringer
If we take 2 points a game for the rest of the season, we'll end up with a play-off spot, so it certainly is good enough.

Marathon, not a sprint, etc...

My biggest concern now is whether we have 2 or 3 good consecutive performances in us providing we do finish in a play-off spot.


How do we get two points from a game?

7 games left. Win 4, draw 2, lose 1. 14 points. 2 points per game.

Not easy but I actually think that’s doable based on our remaining fixtures. Stockport is the only game we won’t go into as favourites.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

can't knock the overall effort, after the euphoria of last week really  disappointed as it put's real pressure on us to edge the play off spot. So poor in front  goal lacked some compposure. Inproved some what in the 2nd half but it wasn't to be
