Went to watch the Cod's last night, as me lad brought some free tickets home yesterday. They are woeful and Sooty n Sweep have got their work cut out knocking them into shape.
They didn't win a second ball all night and Ru$hden ran rings around their midfield at will. I fully expect Pearson to be a target as you worried for them everytime it went into the box and they need a midfield enforcer which points towards Church as he would have stopped loads of the Rushden attacks. Didn't get chance to watch their forwards as they spent all night chasing lost causes and hopeful punts but I've always thought SWD would struggle a level up as the main striker.
It really was the worst game of football I've seen in a long time and I hope that the Grimsby public don't think we play the game like that. It's a lower level but even a 6 yr old could see that what we have is more fun, entertaining and better to watch.
Barely a wimper all night from the Pontoon too, never been to a game there so abject and frankly dull. They booed their own players when they came on (Duffy) and gave Peter Bore shit everytime he got the ball. The grass it seems is not greener as yet and it all reminded me of TT's 'do just enough to get paid but nothing more' squad from the Unidump days.
What's their win rate at Grimsby so far?
