We're not in any relegation danger. With 13 games left we could well stay up even if we lost every single one of them and that's not going to happen. We've actually only lost one of our last 6 in the league despite it feeling like we're not playing particularly well.

Well, we’ve had a bit of a habit of making not very good teams look ok at home this season, and so it proved again. Still, I can’t help but feel results are more important than performances at this stage, and if there were any lingering doubts we might find ourselves in a relegation battle, we at least managed to put them to bed.
Almost equidistant now, in points terms, between the play-offs and the relegation places, it’s pretty clear which division we’re playing in next season which may at least make planning ahead a little easier than it was a year ago. And while the league season may seem like a dead rubber, with an FA Cup quarter final (at least) to our name, every position higher we can finish helps dispel the notion that we are a basket case club.
If Rochdale could finish though, today could have been different altogether. They had what looked to be 2 or 3 clear-cut chances before George Lloyd’s excellent finish for the winner.
I have a sneaking suspicion Hurst will try and sign Lloyd in the summer. He’s industrious, tidy and appears to be able to finish - 3 in 9 now and he has by far the best goals to minute ratio (229 minutes per goal scored) of anyone who has played a meaningful amount of games for us this season. He’s only just turned 23, too, so you’d hope there’s room for improvement in his game.
All-in-all, a fairly typical home performance, but for once with a less frustrating outcome. As others have said, it gives us the chance to rest players on Tuesday as we look ahead to what is, without doubt, the most potentially lucrative game in our history.
His post match interview (lloyd) was a come and get me in in my opinion, obviously he has to be diplomatic as he's a Cheltenham player still |

As mid-table nothingness seems the likely outcome for the League this season, I'd really, really like to see us end up with a positive goal difference. When was the last time we ended up with one of those in the League? It's certainly been a while.

Agreed. We've taken 9 points from our last 6 games, which is an improvement on our season PPG average, and put us further away from the bottom than we were a few weeks back, so they are making no headway on us whatsoever. Our only deafeat from the last 7, including the cup, is with a much weakened side at the form team in the league. Rochdale and Hartlepool are almost into single figures of remaining games now and time is running out for them. Every round of games that passes, decreases their chances of survival. From the last 6 games, Rochdale and Hartlepool have taken 4 points each and Crawley 3. Crawley have 2 games in hand on the other 2 and could escape, so I reckon it's 2 from those 3 for sure. Harrogate have too much about them to be dragged in I think. |

I was listening to Radio Humberside after the game yesterday and a caller from Simon phoned in and said he firmly believes we are in a relegation fight and he also said and I quote "Scunny had a really good transfer window"

Simon made me smile, I think he was quite special. |

In the first half Crocombe’s distribution was the worst I have ever seen by a goalkeeper in all the time I have watched Grimsby Town. (32 years).
I am not sure what is going on because last season it was really good.
I saw six goal kicks go into the side stands.
One goal kick went six foot high and straight to their player (seems to happen most matches).
On another goal kick he fell over.
Many short passes putting defenders under pressure. (Happens too often)
Does he need some competition? He needs to buck up!

He certainly needs to check his boots/studs. He never seems comfortable with his footwork on a wet pitch. |

We were never in relegation danger ,people over panicked because of recent times I think . However critical we are of the aesthetics at home ,Hurst always knows how to prepare a functional team that will get the required results -his biggest test now is building a squad for next season that will have significantly higher expectation on it to go up right through ; cant imagine anyone will be happy with anything but challenging for play offs or higher ,even our twin custodians . |
