Worst team in the league take 6pts off us
Poor selection
Poor formation
Poor tactics
No midfield
No idea
No passion
No cutting edge
Big hoof ball

Keep that flag in the bag....

Disappointing as a draw would have sufficed, however 5 wins out of 8 has put us in a strong position and one southend and grimsby would love to be in, win our game(s) in hand and we looking more than comfortable

Result almost predictable. Barrow always put us through the mill. Had a bad feeling about this match all day we never seem to do well against Grimsby. Need to bounce back now hopefully on saturday. I suppose we've had a bit of luck recently and it caught up on us tonight.

Kelly got it wrong tonight, the setup was asking for it. However, it was never going to be plain sailing for the remainder of the season. If the three points had come tonight rather than at Cheltenham no one would have been complaining. We've still got more points in March than I thought we would have, I always thought this month would be telling as to what our fate would be, and we are still on track to stay in this league. The Harrogate game was also dreadful like tonight yet we backed it up with some excellent performances. 11 big games coming up, 3 wins and I think we will be ok.

Hopefully this won't be the start of a Grimsby run, they still need 7 points to overthrow us and there are other teams certainly in the mix now compared to 3 weeks ago and two of them are on a real slide.

Kelly will have the same mindset win or lose, be disappointed or happy for 24 hours and then move on.

Perhaps Brough does need a rest but this wasn't the game for it. Kay is back on Saturday and could have taken his place on the left.

The midfield could do with a drastic rethink. Far too defensive and carrying a passenger.

On the plus side we'll still be OK and hopefully this brand of anti-football will be temporary.

the problem was that grimsby didn't play with a target man which left our back 3 struggling on who was doing what ,we should have ditched one of them at half-time and put devitt on another tough game Saturday but over Easter grimsby have Salford away and Cheltenham at home!

People need to realise we are not a good team, we are just one of the better teams at the moment in the bottom 8.
If we do stay up a major overhaul is needed or it's just repeat again next season.

Rob Kelly on now Tight game frustrating night! Brough was being rested as had more minutes than everyone. Looking at ways to freshen up without breaking the structure, may of got it wrong. We know the importance of every game as do the players. One of those game settled by one bit of quality!

surely of all games this wasn't the one to rest players!
