Grimsby Town vs Swindon Town matchday thread

[Frigby Daser]

Great win. Good run. Happy to say I’d never have thought we could have done this post Gillingham. Fingers crossed RHM is ok. .

[Nijholts Nuts]

One year perm deal I believe, get him signed up for another quick.

In the face of the current Wakeling love in, it's interesting to see how quickly HMcK has been forgotten. This is not a criticism of the fanbase, it's a compliment

[Stef Troll]

Good performance. Deserved the 3 points. The team is starting to gel nicely.

Anyone know what RHM ibig injury was?

oh, hip ops, just said on radio.

So today's was hopefully the muscular type you get when you haven't played for ages. Not great but unrelated

Lindsey said Reed could be back for Northampton

Khan was brilliant, hopefully knowing he has competition will give reed the kick up the ass like it has to Hutton

[DiV]

Just watched the highlights.

Not enough has been said about that touch and run between the two defenders by Darcy before the shot that lead to Jephcotts goal.

Appreciate I’m camera side but the Khan second yellow is not even a foul is it? Ball to be won, Grimsby player slides in. Khan tries to put his foot on the ball. Grimsby player gets to the ball first. I can only assume Khans foot came down onto the Grimsby and it’s been deemed a foul due to a (accidental non malicious ‘stamp’)

That clearance off the line by Hutton too.

Really pleasing performance because we had to do everything that game.

We had to play good football and take our chances to get in front. We had to play a man down and dig in, we had to see out the game. We had to deal with using subs we weren’t planning on use due to injures and we had to throw ourselves at it to see the game out….and we did.

A lot of the above is things we were not capable of doing last season under Garner

Absolutely spot on that is, we showed a bit of everything in that game. I think at some point we need to start getting rid of the myth that we aren't that good defensively, the stats tell a different story

We’ve definitely looked a lot better with a flat 4 at the back and a relatively settled back line.
We’ve also got (imo) defend first, play football second defenders - which wasn’t the case last season.

Obviously getting minutes in MacDonald (due to time out injured) and Clayton (new to first team football) has helped as well.

FBT is the new Rob Hunt, steady, solid if unspectacular but think they work perfectly fine in a back 4 especially if the opposite full back is a bit more attacking.

Of course - two defeats and we’ll all be gunning for his head and lamenting how awful the team is.

Apart from scoring how well did Jephcott play as he he's barely been mentioned🤔

1st half he was brilliant, held up the ball superbly bought others into play and his movement is brilliant. 2nd it was tougher as just running and closing down but did that well too

FBT will also be worth putting anytime goalscorer bets on every week as he wins everything in the oppo box
