Grimsby
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
Grimsby are on a decent run of form I believe, not lost many but picking up too many draws. I can foresee Monday's game being really scrappy a bit like our 1-0 derby win over Kiddy the weekend of that infamous Rushden game. An away win should realistically condemn Grimsby to the drop and secure another top seven finish for CTFC.

Grimsby were robbed yesterday. One of the most one sided refereeing performances of all time. They are playing well and many of those draws could easily have been wins.
We are in for a very tough game on Monday. It's from the playbook of every match we've lost this season! I'm hoping that yesterday might have demoralised them a bit.

It will be a tough game but they are all.
If we lose, we stay ahead of Bolton, and Tranmere play Cambridge so we won’t be that much worse off.

Actually, after more thought, I am confident about this game.
Previously against bottom sides, the onus has been on us to take the game to them. They have been able to bank in, and we have had to find a way to break them down.
That’s because 5-10 games ago, a 0-0 was a good result for a bottom side but not for us.
However, that’s not the case now as we reach the final handful of games. We have breathing space to fourth. And Grimsby have to start winning otherwise they are non-league.
So we can go there with a solid shape. They have to take the game to us. And we can pick them off on the counter a couple of times.
A much different proposition from us going there having to try and force the game and break them down.

"Outstanding".....think it was a case of a bad day at the office, we never turned up.G G T T H wrote:Could be a very tricky one for us, they were outstanding against us when they beat us 3-1 in October, best away team performance this season imho, lets hope they can't replicate it on Monday
Grimsby will be relegated and good riddance, I will be raising a glass when confirmed.
In that case perhaps we should hope they win those crunch matches and worry less about whether they get relegated.RobinHood wrote:Their run in contains games against Cambridge, Morecambe, Bolton and Exeter, so if they do stay up then they will have a big impact on the promotion race too.

Just a reminder that super Hurst’s super Mariners, every Cheltenham fan’s second team, have two important games coming up in their survival battle.
Come on Grimsby, beat Bolton on Saturday and Morecambe on Tuesday. Prove the doubters wrong and that this great club is ready to battle for promotion to L1 in 2021/22.

Great win today.
Beat Morecambe on Tuesday and Hurst must be favourite for manager of the season, surely.

Just when you thought super Hurst’s magnificent Mariners couldn’t be a better club they are now offering to give a free Grimsby shirt to anyone who ditches a Big 6 shirt (which are then given to charity). https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2 ... -launched/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The whole of football is cheering them on in their survival battle now, if they weren’t before.
Morecambe travel to Cleethorpes tomorrow, in another opportunity for Grimsby to pick up another three points.

Haha. McKeown, what’s the score? Watch our for Danny Wright when you cross paths heading to non-league as Torquay replace you.
If they don’t go bust, they will be languishing for years if they don’t sack the hapless Hurst. Relegation was guaranteed the instant they appointed him and we love to see it.
Grimsby will be playing Gloucester many times before they ever play Cheltenham again.
Good riddance.

Harry Pell relegating them as well with Colchester beating Southend tonight. Vintage.
completely agree, after their fans antics in the semi final (conference) against braintree and their general entailment they can disappear for a good while.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Haha.

we'll miss you, too!It's crazy just how bad they have become over the years since we beat them in the playoff final. They need to get rid of Fenty. 2 trips to the conference in recent years under his chairmanship.
Also Andy Wilcox - well done on everything he and the board have done since taking over from Paul esp this season

Fenty is being bought out by all accounts. Should be new owners by the summerRalph wrote:It's crazy just how bad they have become over the years since we beat them in the playoff final. They need to get rid of Fenty. 2 trips to the conference in recent years under his chairmanship.

Thought it was funny that Fisher equalised for Exeter.
chin up, hopefully fenty sells to even bigger crooksMalabus wrote:Think we should all register to the cod rant forum.
Heres another quote from there.
"I know we are all drunk off that Cheltenham will play Sheffield Wednesday next season whilst we’ll play Borehamwood."
