Just listened to his interview and seen his goals. Two great goals. What a player and he seems like a really lovely bloke. Really gives me confidence that this is our year.

He really had an exceptional game. The energy, pace, ball control and of course his finishing were superb. They rarely got near him. In addition he closed people down and won the ball back for us on several occasions. Worth the money to see him play last night. Finally, just a word about how PH appears to have managed him through his personal tragedy, very sensitive and I notice he ran over to Nathan at the final whistle and gave home a massive hug. Puts things into perspective, sometimes fans can forget footballers are people with all the same issues as the rest of us.

Disappointed not to see him play Saturday against Forest Green as it would have been my first look at him but from what Ive seen on him on the tele looks very decent and a exciting prospect similar to the Marshall mould.

One of the best individual performances from a Town player at the park for quite a while, his 2nd goal was worth the admission fee alone and his first wasn't too shabby either.

I'm really pleased for him, he has gone through a lot recently and no doubt will continue to suffer for some time yet, maybe playing was s good distraction for him.

The best individual performance I've seen in the last 5 years. Everytime he got the ball Gateshead where doubling up on him and he still waltzed past them.

Both his goals came from nothing, with better finishing he could have had 3 or 4 assists too.

really pleased for him, he doesn't seem like a typical 'footballer' very grounded and honest in the way he goes about things, not scared of hard work either which is exactly what we need to get out of this league.

I've been critical of him at times last season but I thought he was outstanding last night.

More performances like that and he would make a huge difference to our chances of promotion.

A player with his talent would normally be seen at least 2 divisions higher. We're very lucky to have him - and huge credit to Hurst who has proved over and over again what a sharp eye he has for a good player.

Just signed myself up for Mariners Player just so I could see the goals. Both great but the second was is an absolute beauty. Maybe we just need to get him and Clay trying more of these long distance rockets as we've had some good success with them

What a difference Arnold could have made on Saturday against Forest Green.

Everyone played well last night but it was Arnold with the extra class that won us the game.

At 1-1, i was just about to say to my brother that Arnold is the key to winning tonight, when he smashed that shot home and it was lost in the mayhem. Not often something gets me out of my seat but he managed it more than once last night. You could see he was up for it from the off when he ran right down the wing from his own half,outstripping his marker and put in a good cross.

The whole team were fantastic for the first 30 mins. The best i've seen us play for a long time. There was universal incredulity and silence when they took the lead but Nathan dragged us back into it single handedly.

He played brilliantly, defending, winning the ball, weaving past defenders with ease, creating chances and not least scoring two great goals. MOM for me by a country mile.

Well not much more to add to those glowing posts the rest he so desperately needed did Nathan the power of good. Well done Hurst man management skills of the highest order.

Nathan too that was a flawless performance in attack and defense loved the goals but one chase back in the second half at full pace to knock the ball out was phenomenal, TBH I never thought you had that much pace lol.

Well played Nath and well played Danny east without doubt they tore down that wing and created loads of problems. UTM.

I said that Gateshead didn't look threatening at all and didn't think they'd bother us at the back at all about 30 seconds before they scored. The moral of the story is for you to talk more and me to talk less at Town matches.

Oh come on, another who seems to think Hurst "has an eye for a good player".

He is not the only manager out there who has and when Arnold played for Alfreton, I could see he was a good player so does that mean I should be managing GTFC.

I would imagine that there are a few on this forum who are capable of spotting a decent player. It's the ability to get that player to sign for you which can prove difficult and to keep within the constraints of your budget.

Ok, i'll take the bait......... Please compare the transfer acquisitions of Neil Woods, our previous non-league permanent boss, with those of Paul Hurst.  Then reconsider your silly post, and what the original poster meant.

Well Cambridge obviously didn't think he was good enough as they were prepared to offload him! As someone also previously mentioned, it's not only spotting someone's potential when others don't - it's also having the pursuasive ability to get them to come to Grimsby.

Oh yes pick out one manager out of all the other managers in the leagues, now who is being silly.

Neil Woods was an absolute crap manager.

What I was having a go at is all this nonsense that his spouted sometimes about Paul Hurst who some seem to think he is the only manager out there who can spot a good player or instill a good team spirit.

Along with the aforementioned Magennis there was Jude Stirling, Amaud Mendy, Tommy Forecast, Nicky Featherstone, Ben Wright, Paris Cowan-Hall, Matthew Heywood, Paul Linwood, Chris Jones, Wes Fletcher, Damien McCrory, Mark Hudson, just a few names from that 2009/10 season who are instantly forgettable.

Apart from Mr Forepast I suppose who most Town fans will never forget.

Didn't Tommy Forecast come highly recommended on loan?  Southampton I think.

Considering the many outstanding youngsters that they produce, they must be good judges of a player........

I can't even remember what Hudson looked like!

Magennis had only just been converted to striker when he joined us, as I recall? Certainly looked like a keeper playing as a striker for us!

Tipped as a future England keeper apparently.  


He'd struggle to get in the England ladies team.

Watching Arnold play, I fancy he has a touch of the Michael Reddy about him. Once he's away nobody can touch him and on the run with the ball in the box defenders are scared stiff of him.

Not many better players to watch in the last 10 years than Reddy but I reckon Arnold has more skill with only slightly less speed.

Quoted from arryarryarry

Oh yes pick out one manager out of all the other managers in the leagues, now who is being silly.
Neil Woods was an absolute crap manager.
What I was having a go at is all this nonsense that his spouted sometimes about Paul Hurst who some seem to think he is the only manager out there who can spot a good player or instill a good team spirit.



I picked out Woods as the only other full time manager we've had in the non-league - we'll never know which were Hurst signings or Scott signings while they were joint manager.

Who else do you want me to compare Hurst to? And why make a comparison with other managers anyway? We've got a good squad, there is competition for places, many of our players are the envy of other nonleague clubs, and some people keep moaning!

Woods had a much bigger budget too. We had a massive squad compared to what we have now, most of them gash.

It was quite weird to see him play for us. Came with great credentials and yet it seemed like he had never played in goal before!

Ive never seen anything like it - it's not as if we got a loan keeper from non league or someone whose best years were behind him (although true in his case   but how could he have been so hopeless? Bizarre.

There were some shockers! They were talking about Josh Magennis firing Northern Ireland to the Euros on talk sport last night. I nearly crashed my car in amazement!
