Seen the lineup and Cook is listed as the centre of the front 3.

Oh dear- unless he has one of his couple of games where he does more than run around like a 7 yr old.

No Ohman in the 18. Part of me wonders if him and Pollock are actually our best pairing.....

Thought Cook played well when he was on the pitch. Just very injury prone unfortunately!

Whilst we haven’t been scoring many, we haven’t conceded many either. Davis was particularly good today.

Thought Cook was very good while on the pitch, very unfortunate he went off injured UTM


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.

He's injured most of the time though which is problematic.

Agreed, defence isn't the problem and if it aint broke, don't fix it. Think Ohman is injured anyway, so that clears that up.

I thought cook looked as poor I would have expected him to look in the middle of a front 3 to be honest.

I thought Davis played well today, re Cook I feel for him as he is injury prone. On his day he’s pretty decent but I felt today he spent a lot of energy looking for free kicks that weren’t there.

Really?

I'd say he's our fourth best centre back.  Ultimately I think he's proved to a poor signing, nothing personal but I just don't rate the lad.  

I think he's slow, very poor positional wise and is a disaster with the ball at his feet.  He wins a a lot in the air but a good centre back will win the challenge and use his header as a pass.  Waterfall just seems to win the challenge, where the ball goes is a roll of the dice.  This happens at both ends of the pitch, we use him as the focus for our attacking set-pieces but nothing ever comes of them.

Pollock and Ohman should be the pairing in my eyes.

As I noted in another thread, I was actually quite impressed with Waterfall's distribution yesterday and he's certainly been a bit better in general with the ball at his feet over the past month. One of those players like Lever who looks clumsy on the ball but actually isn't that bad.

I have to say, I'm still not really sure about Ohman, though he's had the odd decent performance. He's played in fewer than half of the League games since his arrival due to injury and suspension and, though very strong in the air, he's always looked likely to concede a free-kick whenever challenging with his feet. Jury still out for me.

Have to say I'm baffled by this. The defence has been carrying the team for weeks and the 2 current CB's have been doing an excellent job. I think Davies in particular has been very good and was excellent yesterday. I'd take him over Ohman right now and as good a prospect as Pollock is, he doesn't have the experience Waterfall brings to the side.

We have only conceded an amount in the same ball park as sides at the top end, but we don't score the goals to take advantage of that.

I‘m not a massive Waterfall fan but as a unit the back 4 we had yesterday and in recent games is starting to look a lot more solid and I don’t remember Macca being all that busy, at the moment I don’t see any massive need for change.

All about opinions isn't it...

I just don't rate him.  I find it so disappointing that since we've come up from the Conference we've somehow managed to downgrade on our defence, I suppose that's the case across the whole team as well.
