Show Notes
The national media descended on Grimsby again this weekend with the arrival of Premier League side Wolves in the FA Cup 4th Round but sadly it was the Blundell Park pitch that stole the headlines and almost ruined the game as a contest. The panel begin by discussing the 1-0 defeat and how the state of the pitch may well have hindered Town more than their supposedly superior opposition. The guys then also look back at the important league win over Accrington mid-week which took them to within a point of the play-offs and the impact Maldini Kacurri and Tyrell Sellars-Fleming had on their first starts for the club.
In Part Two, and in true football cliché style, the pod begin to ‘concentrate on the league’ and assess The Mariners play-off hopes and ambitions. Is seventy points a realistic aim? Will a larger squad allow Artell to keep players fresher for longer? And psychologically, is it easier to be the hunters rather than the hunted?
