We started being a little sloppy at the back,

BUT

We will always score goals,

We have tighten up at the back now,

So all we have to do now is turn half of those draws into wins,

Then we will pull away nicely.

Quoted from headingly_mariner


The best midfielder I've seen in this league so far this season has been Craig Disley.


You see this is my problem , many are saying we need a good midfielder , a general in the centre of the park . In the next breath people are saying we have the best in this division . Something doesn't add up .

But we play with 2 central midfielders don't we? I personally think Disley is the best midfielder we've had since groves (albeit at a lower level). I just don't quite think we've found anyone outstanding to play next to him. Don't get me wrong, I like Clay and Brown I just want more quality and power in there. Maybe I'm greedy, but I do think that is the only area of the squad in need of improvement.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Absolutely correct, disley is still good enough but IMO is sitting deeper this season so far so is not getting into the box as often

Clay IMO again is doing OK in fits and starts but that's it. He's took the game by the scruff of the neck for the second half the other week at home, but apart from that he's been just OK, not outstanding

So I feel this is our weak link so far this season but got brown coming back into the squad again, so that's a bit of a bonus I suppose. I did state on here after Brown's first ten games that he is the best player we've signed for the last ten years, always getting stuck in, good passer of the ball, all over the pitch breaking up play.....then got his first injury then got the defensive mentality drummed into him and never has been the same player since, so yeah, need a stronger man in the middle with disley

Instead of just giving it a negative mark, come back with your own thoughts

Now I didn't give it a negative mark but when reading your post I pretty much agreed with it all until the end when you seem to put a dig in at Mr Hurst for no good reason, almost like you can't resist.  So it wouldn't surprise me if that is why you got red crossed.

The punctuation could also be improved so perhaps that is another reason for the negative mark.

I like the use of paragraphs, it makes the piece easy to read and understand.

The use of uppercase letters for names is somewhat inconsistent, brown and Brown for example.

Try and remember to finish off your sentences with a full stop and those red crosses will be a thing of the past.

Sorry acko, only joking.   I'm bored at work and The Fishy is the only thing that keeps me occupied all day.

I don't think he ever looked as fit after his first injury, rather than having had a defensive mentality drummed into him.

Think were on the same wavelength doc, but why can't people post a reply as well as putting a negative cross against the post, just bores me at times
