Think for the majority of teams it will be about who copes best with the Christmas New Year schedule. Who has energy left in the tank? Who have rotated to try and keep players fresh? Grimsby don’t have the best of records at Valley Parade but I will go 1-1

Helps when your fan base is under 25.

I expect any signings Grimsby make to be completely under the radar and players most won’t have heard of. Will be interesting if the Jamestown Analytics model can work at the lower levels on the same way it has helped Brighton. So far lower levels teams in Belgium, Italy and Spain have seen a...

No need to attempt a challenge. Gave the ref a decision to make and he was always going to be star of the show ( even though he couldn’t see it)

The ref was definitely ‘me,me,me’ however Harvey R wasn’t wrestled v Donny, he miscued a clearance after someone brushed him. Then made an arse of himself No deflection for their 3rd, we just set up too deep and Wright saw it late and let it slide under his body. Silly forfeiture of the...

All points to a comfortable home win

Decent league two player imo. He is a North East lad so geography probably played a part

Embleton had a season loan at Grimsby as a teenager (?). Looked quality and I expected he would kick on to better levels than he has( perhaps injuries have hampered that? ) Scored a couple of screamers from distance. IF you get him and IF he stays fit, then he is very capable at this level, and...

No I don’t. I was told about Gardner by one of the players. Cass must be a huge doubt and McEachran & Rose looked shattered at the end

Gardner has a hamstring injury and that is why he didn’t feature v Port Vale.

I said I thought they were the Vale fans were very quiet. Understandably perhaps

I suspect all teams will need a degree of rotation if availability allows.Asking players to be on top of their game every 3 days from Boxing Day is a big ask. We may see some ‘shock’ results

Really? I thought they were the quietest visitors for yonks given they brought 700+

Well if Vale were 2nd, every team has a chance. Yes, we all have injuries but god they were totally toothless. Think Wright had one save to make and that was pretty routine. Vale certainly had the benefit of some generous refereeing, how number22 stayed on the pitch was bizarre, an utter thug...

Will that be tickets sold or actual attendees?

I don’t think it is awful, just that virtually every team is terribly inconsistent. String a few results together and you are virtually guaranteed a top 7 finish. 500 would be very poor for such a big club. Swindon was over a 7 hour round trip last week and we still managed over 600. Not that...

Moore is on a 5 year contract and silly money isn’t he? 2nd in the table? Who on earth is calling for his head? Given Grimsby have been trounced at home by all the contenders, Walsall, Doncaster, Crewe MK etc etc i am sure this is an ideal fixture for Vale. No doubt backed by 1500+ visitors

Clear gaps? You could throw a handkerchief over most of them. Closest league for donkeys years. Any of the top 15/16 are in with a shout imo. Other than Walsall most sides can’t string much together, PortVale haven’t won in decades yet are still 2nd. The league shows that any team who hits a...

Don’t think we have ever won a League game v Harrogate? This time, things are gonna change ( perhaps)

It wasn’t tbh. Initially a few anti Holloway chants but they soon subsided
