    We have a good chance of scraping into the playoffs, which is an achievement in of itself given the start to this season, but we won't win the playoffs playing like that. A team like Exeter would thrash us in the playoff semi or playoff final if we play like that.

    I thought Evans did okay. He got through a lot of work.

    Yes perhaps you are the only person who enjoyed that. A bit like pulling teeth!

    I suppose I can reassure myself they can’t play that poorly again, against the bottom of the table, with only 10 men for 45 minutes again.

    It was dire stuff.

    Three points but that is really all it was.

    It will be remembered for the Payne/Morias incident, that is about it.

    As I said, T&S have the knack of getting results even against the top 6 best teams, I believe we are unbeaten against the top 6 under them, so no, not worried at all

    And rightly so. Payne's attack on his own team mate was unbelievable. Even more so, given Grimsby's dire situation. OK we can all experience a rush of blood to the head now and again, but that was extraordinary. Will he stay at Grimsby? Of course not. Will another Lg 2 or National League side take him on? Would you want a fairly bang average player who headbutts his own team mate during a must-win relegation match, in your dressing room? Payne's moment of madness might prove to be a career ending one as a professional footballer.

    Not certain that Hurst has got over our rejection :unsure:

    “We changed shape, they didn’t know what to do with it. They tried pretending they were going to play three at the back to start with, but they didn’t. I don’t know if they think you were born yesterday with putting things out in the press and going with a back three.

    “They were struggling to cope with our system, tried changing it, they really struggled, they couldn’t get the message onto the pitch"


    In other words;-

    "If only they'd employed me, not only would they be virtually promoted by now - but I wouldn't have to deal with idiots like Payne, who I was daft enough to bring to the club!!" :)

    I went 2-0 before the game and it should have been that when we hit the bar second half. You huffed and puffed but rarely actually threatened our goal.

    For some bizarre reason we sat back and let you have lots of possession second half. We had just about the slowest starting line up we could muster in all honesty.

    Only when we made some subs did we actually start to try to attack.

    Yes. The fact they were eight games unbeaten, so clearly have something correct is of course irrelevant. Because we have to beat every team by at least two goals, with that kind of dominance - otherwise the team is rubbish

    A different stat: today's win means we have played 17 successive matches (16 league & 1 FA Cup) against Grimsby Town without defeat (12 wins, 5 draws).
