Gotts scored a goal, played great and it was his 150th appearance for the club, so a 3-card trick trumped an ace there!

Yes. They looked exactly like we have looked for most of this season!
We were saying exactly this at HT as we somehow went into the break one up! So it goes.
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...

Takes the shine of that headed goal. Thought he had he gone down under a hefty challenge but after seeing that…. I don’t think any Barrow fan wants to see that sort of stuff.
It was very poor in fact embarrassing. As a club we are better than that. Someone needs to take him to one side and have a word in his ear

Absolutely, and you only have to look at the match thread on the Grimsby fans forum to see exactly what they think of all that aimless possession!

Brilliant Quote from Grimsby Manager David Artell we've been beaten by a team who didn't want to attack, that's not a criticism of them that their game. From report in Sunday Mirror.

😉To be fair we’ve been occupied with rattling our own of late. But hopefully that’s all changed now

Strange.

I could have sworn that we scored three goals, too.

The Manager said post match wants more possession.
How many games have we had a large amount of possession and lost
Do you ever say anything positive or is your glass always half empty?
Can you just clarify who your referring to here.

Not only scored 3 goals but had more shots and more shots on target than his team.

Wouldn’t listen to a word that bell end has to say. Was going mental trying to defend his player after he put Jackson’s head through the wall. Odd man
