Sorry guys, I will await the expected flak for starting this thread...I think we will get Connell on the cheap(ish), cos he may not get fixed up.

Hope your right but prepare for the Connell bashers if you are.

I reckon it will be Connell as well. We want a goal scorer and he would fit the bill.

Connell with a quick player (Pittman) would be interesting. Stretching the defence to give Alan more space would provide a lot of goals IMO.

Some may think thats our squad complete.

Personally i hope we get another striker, even if only a loan deal. Hannah ,LJL and Pittman....I dont think that is enough.( i know Arnold could play down the middle though)

Connell was good in his last spell at the club but is he past his best?? does he fit into our style??

Is the Omar Bogle thing definately over ???

He scored 29 goals last time with Duffy/ Peacock along side him. And a midfield of Coulson , Hudson, Cummins, Eagle. And wood and Ridley at wing backs. I can confidently say he would get better service this time around with this team.

I doubt we'd ever find out as LJL appears to be the first name on the teamsheet. I reckon it's LJL and A.Nother.

Connell would be an excellent signing for us, should hit the ground running as he already knows the club/set up and the extra pace in the team around him should (if used correctly) put the opposition team on the back foot

Here's hoping anyway

Alan is a real footballer,

I think he could fit into any formation we might play,

BUT

If he does come back , do not expect him to score 20+ goals ,

He would be a good signing though.

Don't know about Alan Connell couldn't wait to leave us southern softy, then eventually signed for Bradford which isn't to far away. He also turned us down and signed for Northampton so the answer is no for signing him.

I would be really pleased with Connell - even though I'm not sure he would be the force he once was
He would be playing non league though, and he is a class act in and around the box
It would be a big lift for everyone I think... it would seem to make the squad a lot stronger and would be a 'name' to finish off the summer signings
Suddenly we would be stronger in all departments compared to last season IMO

I respect the posters who don't want Connell back - yes, you read correctly, a poster on here actually respects those who disagree with him - but I feel it would be worth a punt especially as we seem to have missed out on a few exciting possible signings

Having said all that I don't think it will happen!

I think it would be a bit odd, i kind of think he'd see it as a last resort type of deal. Can't say i believe his heart would be in it either. Having said that his goals were a joy to watch and would be again. I tend to agree with a lot of posters on here who believe with better service and faster forward play that Hannah and Pittman will both thrive anyway.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!
