Re: Mariners Match Tread

Are we not missing one of Football's truisms here ?.. the one that goes :- There will be occasions when a successful team will be matched with one expected to be less proficient and efficient in stature, and in spite of every effort made by the first team, they will inevitably lose the match !.
It seems to me that firstly, Grimsby Town's scouts did a good job for their Manager by correctly spotting areas of weakness in the Red's set up which could be successfully exploited.
Secondly, the Mariner's Goalkeeper with some of the longest and highest clearances and goalkicks seen at The Wham, exploited one of these weaknesses to the full. He more often than not cleared midfield and the head of one of our tallest players, Liam Nolan and that of our ineffective Captain. This in turn piled the pressure on our back line, who found the tactic
so difficult to deal with !.
So credit to Grimsby for this effective, if totally unattractive attacking method, and their industry in closing down the Reds as well as any team we have played so far !.

So, hoping that Chesterfield's spies will not have noticed these sneaky Grimsby moves,
the Red's can go there maintaining their air of confidence, and secure the points !.

Last night ?... a tiny blot on the landscape !.

KTF... ON STANLEY...ON TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !.
