Compared to last time we were in non league, the standard of football has improved enormously and not just from us.

Really enjoyed a lot more of the games than last time we were in it.

Of course, there is always room for improvement and that comes with moving up the leagues and acquiring more capable players as you go.

There's nothing worse than utilising your no nonsense defender as a ball playing defender. I like Hursts' style, very risk averse in our own half but players are encouraged to express themselves when attacking.

We have all styles in our locker though. Whilst it was very direct, Taylors' goal against Wrexham was a great bit of football. Starting from Crocombe, it was probably in the back of the net in less than 20 seconds.

3rd goal away at Altrincham was absolutely superb

For 65 mins in that game before the ref decided he wanted to be centre stage, we played some of the best football in years

Crocombe goal kick up to Taylor

Taylor lays it off to McAtee

McAtee drives forward and plays a ball onto a 6 pence

For Taylor to dive header (houchen) into the goal


My god. That is some of the sexiest football you will ever see.
Stick to your sky sports/bt sport subscription lad. Give me a team that is loved by a few over a team that is there for the money any day of the week.

Supporting your home team is special. And we are now in the fortunate position (after years of hurt) of having a team, board and support that are in it together. The saying goes, all town aren’t we, stick with it sunshine. The 1-0 wins are sometimes more glorious than you think

As an exile my grimsby town viewing time is often highlights only.
However it was clear to see the difference between Grimsby town and Wrexham was that we got the ball down on the deck and played ‘sexy’ football.


you can take the boy out of grimsby......but you can't take grimsby out of his soul, his blood, his semen!

Be nice to see us more adventurous. About time we had some sexy football at BP.


If it’s ‘sexy’ you’re after, take the average 3.5 mins to watch the attached from the start, or if you’re after instant gratification as I suspect you might be, fast forward to 3 minutes 4 seconds and then have a cold shower.

That 3rd goal is almost in the same calibre of the famous Cockerill goal against Huddersfield

As the teams come out McAtee is wearing stockings and suspenders and Clifton looks absolutely glamorous in pink chiffon negligee

We played decent football last season with the right blend of well worked goals, McAtee worldies, well worked set pieces and on the odd occasion players just throwing themselves at it. If we’d have stuck to one way of playing I’m not sure we’d have got promoted as we just didn’t have the quality in depth.

The standard in the National League has improved a lot, you can tell that by the lack of balls hoofed into Harrington St by opposition defenders during games.
