Agreed but defence has never been a problem. It's our attacking play that has let us down in previous seasons.


I agree but I think it's easy to forget that not too long ago we thought we'd lose virtually all of the defence from last season. At various stages I'd given up on Pearson & Toto staying, and obviously we lost our POTY. Gowling's cheeky tweet had me thinking he was off too.

A good defence alone may not be enough, but going in to a season genuinely believe we will concede fewer goals than any other side is a hell of a starting point.

Welcome Richard, think it will be a top signing.

Will be very interesting to see what the defence will look like, with East and Tait battling for the right back position it seems.

I think if you look at the teams that park the bus at the Park, then hit us on a set piece or a cheeky goal and take the points, i'm happy to strengthen the back 4 to try and pinch more of these games than we lose. Blundell Park HAS to be a fortress this season to give us a chance.

I think Tait will be first choice. My gut instinct is that East will be a Parslow upgrade, covering full back and holding midfield roles when required.

Interesting to see he has the number 2 shirt which might indicate that he'll be first choice right back with East more as utility.


"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!!!"

GTFC tweeted he is signing number 5 but the link to the site is corrupt

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

East was never going to be first choice anyway imo, with his injury issues and versatility it made sense to bring it a right back who will be in the starting 11. I think that's the defence sorted and Tait looks just as good as the rest of them.

Attacking wise I'd like to think we'll be getting a first choice striker and to finish things off get in possibly one more central midfielder. Not sure how likely the latter one is but I see a space there for maybe a youngster with a bit of energy, maybe a young loanee.

Sounds like a good signing. If he's quick-ish as reported, that is good as it is always useful to have a bit of pace at full-back. Gives the opposition winger something to think about from the off.

Can't believe we've almost signed a full squad by the end of June! A bit of a difference to the usual state of affairs.

Good signing from what I've have seen of him, we are looking good for the coming season and I am feeling very positive, another striker and we're almost there.

Roll on August!


Grimsby and proud!
