I'm happy with us establishing ourselves as a solid League Two club for now after two relegations into the National League, anything more would be a bonus for me.

What Hurst did at Shrewsbury gives cause for optimism though.

I think the aim should be top 7, but I wouldn't say I expect top 7 - seems very ambitious for our second season back in the league on a smaller budget than a lot of other teams. Put it this way, I won't be disappointed if we finished in the top half again, provided we're a little bit closer to the playoffs.

I’d hope we’d be in the playoffs, I’m happy how we’ve done this season, we’ve had a great cup run and looking likely to finishing just above mid table so when you look at it like that it’s been a good season, we’ve played some great football but are weak in other areas so let’s hope Paul Hurst gets the right players in to reach the play offs or even better automatic promotion.


Grimsby and proud!

I expect us to flirt with a play off position but not make it. I hope we win the league.

More than anything, I’d like to see us develop a team that has a way of playing, particularly at home, and to see us impose ourselves on other teams rather than the other way round.

We should be striving to build a team that can compete for the top 7. However, I won’t be moaning a bucketload, calling it a disgrace or other such guff if we aren’t quite able to achieve that but do build on our placing this season. Nobody is entitled to success, and every league seems to become more and more competitive each season. I’m grateful that we are an EFL club under superb owners and never want to go back to the NL.

Automatic promotion must always be the aim surely.

I have put down top 10. I have seen nothing that says we can progress any further at this time, but a period of stability as we build to make a challenge in the following season.

I expect top 10 (progress) but hopeful to atleast be in and around a chance of a play off place at the tail end of the season.

I see what you mean but a positive recruitment at the end of this season could change everything. PH will have learnt a lot this season about what is required to compete and get out of this league. We have a much better coaching setup and also a head of recruitment who will have had time to explore what we need and who is realistically available.
