Amond tweets "come on the lads" again. Last time he did that he was on the bench.

Town unbeaten in four games on Non-League day. Played four won three drawn one. Let's extend both unbeaten runs today. Come on Town!

Hope Tomlinson finally bags one, would prefer Amond as I personally think he's well above this level but in the same breath we looked worse when Tomlinson went off against Gateshead so his hard work obviously compliments the team. Come on lads keep this run going!

Can we please just end this experiment with Tomlinson up front, there is zero link up play again between him and the other striker, its not like its his first game any more he's been training with Bogle for weeks now and they don't know how to link up with each other get Amond one who can play along side Bogle


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Does seem strange and pointless playing tomlinson when you have a better srtiker on the bench in amond.

The understanding between amond and bogle was very promising.

Not much happening from the sounds of things....doesn't sound as if we've been threatened or threatening as yet

Maybe as the game goes on it will become a bit more exciting...hopefully with a goal or two for us

Gowling off and Toto on

Robertson off and Tait on

Seems a bit odd just before half time....you'd have thought maybe they could have checked them out in the interval but subbing them now limits our options for the second half

A point away at braintree is not a bad result but if you want promotion its 3 we need.

Its not clicking up front and lets see what the second half brings.

All square at the break

Disappointing all round as we've now got 45 minutes of not being able to change much around and also those injuries this afternoon could have an effect on the Tuesday night game

I'd be happy to see this one out as it is - a point this afternoon won't be a disaster but we need to keep our focus and not do anything rash ( such as the Tomlinson yellow )

If we can come through unscathed then we can re-group for Tuesday for Halifax, hopefully with not too weakened a squad

I think it would be asking for trouble to bring Amond on and use that last sub so soon, but I'd get getting round Tomlinson at half time telling him more required with his hold up and first touch and to calm the challenges.  It'll be interesting to see what Tait has to offer, he came here with good praise, was dubbed a starter over "utility man" East in pre season and he was decent ore season too. I hope he takes his chance.

At this point following injuries and the way both teams are playing I've got to agree with a number of posters a draw would be good, hopefully we can still steal a win.

If it's pulled muscles for the two of them, could mean a few weeks out, I'd have thought. If so, we'd be almost down the bare bones defensively in one fell swoop!

Let's hope it isn't anything too serious. The defenders we have out there ought to be able to do a decent job, however.

2 early subs limits our attacking options later. Only Amond or Marshall can come on now.  If you start with your strongest 11/best forward players then you have more options.

Lloyd griffith says he is not a fan of tomlinson at all  

Is it genuinely paul sees him as something we dont or pauls well known stubborness.

It seems i might be bashing him , im not i just for the life of me not know what paul sees in putting him as our first choice striker at the minute.

Tomlinson sounds as though he needs to sort his head out here and not take us down to ten men!

Imo i hope barnet have an injury crisis and recall him and we go back to the bogle and amond combo which was scoring for fun.

Anyone remember how long we signed Tomlinson for I think it was a month but can't be sure, because if it was hopefully we've only got him for about a week longer

Lloyd griffith says he is not a fan of tomlinson at all  

Is it genuinely paul sees him as something we dont or pauls well known stubborness.

It seems i might be bashing him , im not i just for the life of me not know what paul sees in putting him as our first choice striker at the minute.



Obviously Barnet see something in him and they are a league club. They only signed him in the summer so they see him as a league 2 striker.

Tomlinson off Marshall on i hope and soon by the sounds of things


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

I am expecting us to go 0-1 between 60 and 70 mins.  Amond will replace Tomlinson, the team will wake up and we'll scrape an equaliser.

But it would be better if they played like they were 0-1 down now, rather than settling for a point.

They have shipped him back to non-league after a month.

I only have the commentary to go on but from what I can gather Tomlinson is a more physical hard working, defend-from-the-front type of player. We've certainly conceded very few goals while he's been in the side. FWIW I would prefer Amond, just trying to offer an explanation.

Thing is paul hurst harps on about not ever wanting to bring players in to disrupt the team and for the sake of it.

Well this is one which completely goes against what he says.

Amond was out for a few games so we needed a loan , fair enough we get tomlinson in and he plays thats fine but he never did anything special to suggest amond shouldnt just walk back in.

It just doesnt feel right that he keeps his place week on week especially as he is a loan player and not ours.

I'm sorry i don't understand Hurst how he keeps playing Monkhouse when he needs a rest not bringing anything to the team unleash Marcus Marshall from the start for once, also Tomlinson won't get you 10 a season and its annoying not playing Amond of late.

Getting fed up with Hurst don't understand his choices.

Crikey - did not see Arnold being removed.

Hurst rarely fails to utilise leftfield.

Havent see him play but PH likes his teams to launch it up the middle - Tomlinson is playing to hold it up?
But you already knew that, surely  

You build your team around Amond and Bogle for me. If theyre not good enough to make the team now, what do they need to do to be good enough?


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Unfortunately PH prefers to secure a point than go all out for 3 and as a result we will always be a team that makes the play offs but never champions.

A point aint bad away and its ok but its just the overall feel of everything at the minute.

Does anyone get what i mean, the tomlinson thingy the longballs up to monkhouse, players arguing on the pitch its just not got that feel that all is good.

I dont know.

Yes but he has still decided to start with Tomlinson who is inept and Monkhouse who maybe wins a header or two. I can understand his hands are a little tied with one sub left in the 2nd half but theres not even an attempt to chance the system which isn't working with his final sub choice.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Its not unnecessary stick its an opinion.

He hasnt scored a goal so he cant be in the team for that.

Sorry but we have a better striker on the bench and he actually is our player.

Like for like shows a lack of imagination again by Hurst to me.
Seems to me from RH commentary this game was crying out for a change of formation.

If we want to do anything this season we have to be beating teams like this FFS

Hurst Out


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Doesn't bode well for the post match interview, Hurst could in defensive/prickly mode justifying the front line I'd say. Pretty dull stuff, the crowdfunding momentum seems a long time ago.

A draw is a perfectly acceptable result away at a team who were one place below us at the start of play. Especially when we used two subs before half time. The unbeaten run continues. Very, very winnable game to come on Tuesday.

Too young and raw to play as a lone striker, thus didn't sound like he was as big a threat today

We get what, ten times as many fans as Braintree - yet we cant assemble a team that can beat them. Easily.



Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Continued unbeaten run, against the best defence in the league, away ,  injuries limited our subs,  grass was long ,  definately nothing to do with selecting a never tried before pair of strikers and leaving Podge out........Hursts post match interview in a nutshell.

Far too rational. Win on Tuesday and that'll be 2 points a game average for the last 10 - hardly shocking. Then Torquay after that. Could well be 6 points from the next 2 and then big game against Cheltenham.

FFS ! What the f**k has our support got to do with the result ! FGR have been top for most of the time with the population of Nailsworth about 6,500. On that basis you could argue that Bournemouth have no right to win any matches in the Premiersh*t as their ground only holds 12,500 , a lot less than other teams in that league.

Well it sounds grim stuff but it also sounds like one of those games where one goal would be enough. Maybe the brave away followers can say if Town were more concerned with not conceding it than scoring it. Certainly sounded that way.

There is no need to swear. I don't think your able to grasp what Im getting at. Maybe I should have based my question on money and not fans then?
I wasn't just refering to this particular result, we always struggle against them.
If I was a Manchester United fan, I would expect my team to beat Grimsby Town. Why? Basically because the Manchester team spends more money and attracts better players. Grimsby might beat Manchester, a one off, but for Manchester to regularly struggle against the Grimsby team would baffle their fans. Surely.
Bournemouth aren't actually winning any matches? Forest Green have loads of money? Bournemouth have loads of money

That was a difficult game and it's clear to see why they haven't conceded many goals. Hurst had his hands tied before half time and made the change with Marshall which could have backfired if we had any more injuries. Better to draw than lose.

Looked distinctively average today. Arnold a completely different player to Tuesday. Slightly worried about Gregor, not so about Gowling, Toto is IMO a better player anyway. East has been poor for a number of weeks now, if Gregor is fit for Tuesday I'd leave him out. Average game and a draw a fair result. MOM Diz for me.

Lets all get ready for another TOUGH GAME against Halifax, a team with the worst goal difference in the league of MINUS 16.

I expect Hurst to be telling us with all our injury problems that a draw will be a good result ?

I was hoping we wouldn't be hearing about the pitch afterwards.

a) we've known what their pitch is like for 5 years now, it is no surprise.
and
b) the pitch is the same for both teams

A draw is a perfectly acceptable result away at a team who were one place below us at the start of play. Especially when we used two subs before half time. The unbeaten run continues. Very, very winnable game to come on Tuesday.


"Perfectly acceptable result" is just the sort of balderdash statement and acceptance of failure that has come from the very top of our club all the way down to a lot of our fans and the reason we are still in this excrement league.
It's NOT acceptable to play excrement and only get 1 point from teams like today's opponents and it's NOT acceptable to be in the position we are in the league at the moment.

Hurst Out


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

I look at it this way, no point in rocking the boat while we still have a realistic chance of promotion ( playoffs included ) and we really do at this stage. The club has too much money, hope and emotion invested in Hurst and his team. When and only when promotion is unattainable then Hurst has to be history ( he has had long enough ).. You never know, he might just get us promoted.

So we all agree if hurst doesnt take us up this season its time for a fresh look at it all ?

And if he does he deserves time in league 2 to get his team together no doubt ?

Im Town through and through and wish him all the best in our promotion charge or more of a plod but cant see him having what it takes.

His decision making is like playing Russian roulette with our promotion chances and so far this season he seems to be more unpredictable than ever.

Ah, I read it as a rhetorical question and thought you were just being a bit pithy. No worries.

Unbeaten in 9 is good, but too many draws, that's for sure. Fewer wins than any of the other teams in the top half of the table, though we should undoubtedly have won at least 2 or 3 of those games. Should isn't quite good enough at the moment.

You know what my mate said to me last night and i think he was spot on.

Hurst would be a cracking manager at say a macclesfield or a gateshead were the expectation isnt just quite there and the pressure is no way near what it is here.

I just dont think he has the ingredient needed to take a club like ours up were the fans deserve and quite rightly expect more from his teams.

We sit seventh currently but you have to agree after operation promotion we all expected more , not that paul would ever admit that.

This clubs fans and chairman who isnt really chairman has stuck by him year on year , its now his time to deliver but sadly i just dont ever think he will as he aint got that extra bit of something needed.

There has always been something missing, he has never clicked with the fans and his selections have always been quite strange at times..

he has always had a power struggle here like he has to show the fans he is the manager and its his way remember it started in his first few games with when our current top scorer at the time alan connell always subbed on about 70 mins then sometimes dropped.

He has always had an obsession in chopping and changing the strikers to show some kind of statement, strange because i think if he adapted he could be a decent manager just not at a big club like ours.

He's defaulted back to his modus operandi of being hard to beat, dull as dishwater and one dimensional. Gone those halcyon early season days of free flowing, exciting football that provided goals galore but also the lack of solidity at the back. We know which he prefers,  I know which I prefer. He never was going to change, it's just his way. It's not the Grimsby Town way. He should have gone 2 years ago.

Everyone entitled to an opinion but truth of the matter is PH will not be sacked anytime soon, we are 9 unbeaten and still in touch with the top teams ( admittedly i feel we should be a lot closer). but fenty and the board have backed Hurst through tougher times than this and they will not get rid whilst we are in this position. We arent playing well and we arent winning enough but only when there isnt enough time left to catch the top- or we lose the PO's again- is the right time for Paul to go, However i would love to see him take us up, he may be stubborn and not everyones cup of tea, but he cares a lot about this club. big game tuesday for what should be a routine 3 points! We win and a couple around us lose and its looking rosier again

I doubt if the board like the way things are going any more than the supporters do but I have to agree with Hagrid (for once ) that there is no way he will be dismissed as things stand.

However, that should not stop supporters from making comments about leopards and spots.

He does not see what everyone else finds obvious, Podge and Omar should start when fit and we need to use the flanks by picking wide players and not "utility" players like Monkhouse. We where shocking going forward yesterday fecking clueless.......!

Said it all along he was a defender, his assistant manager was a defender and the physio was too, where's the attacking know how both in selection and tac tics.

The manager and board needs to realise that we have a high expectation level because we get good gates at home and take exceptional numbers away, the fans are passionate and at the very least expect the best side to be picked and they get the ball down and pass it usually the rest looks after itself.  

PH is not going anywhere soon but he needs to look at the table and feel embarrassed that the likes of Dover and Bromley are above and Lincoln just behind with a game in hand.

The gap at the top is getting bigger again, I watched FGR the other night and they look a good team and will be difficult to catch, we have to start turning these draws into wins.


Grimsby and proud!
