A positive point.

Half time hurt us.

They got tighter second half and stopped us playing.

But got ridiculously direct themselves.

Colclough faded.

Akinola's shown a helpful energy in his cameos.

Summat to build on...

Least he knows how to give away a clever free kick instead of letting people run through midfield

Probably a fair result, we were ok in first half but poor in 2nd

Best not to lose possession too easily though to have to give away the free Kirk.

Yes, draw fair result, but only one side trying to play football.

Only about 10 yards off it. Did what we should have done against Bradford tho and took a yellow 😂

Akinola looked lively and he?s not afraid to get a challenge in

Akinola is outstanding at winning the ball back, however he?s good at giving the ball away in the first place too which sort of cancels that out.

The pundit though Grimsby played well (8/10) second half There was plenty of huff and puff I suppose

[Bluekent]

Horrible second half , not digging us out saying that , we battled , played some good stuff first half but glad to get out with a point , never really got going second period , horrible tho, glad it?s over 😂

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

Fleck actually playing is a step forward.

Now he's got to look like a player when he does...

What I've been saying useless ,had to leg that player near end cos he was twaddled get rid

[Waller is my hero]

Good point today to be fair?.Akinola has looked lively when he?s been coming?.and really pleasingly?good for Fleck & Madden to get minutes in the pitch.

Nice to see the bench getting stronger to make effective substitutions?..

Berry looked disinterested when he came on, needs to be more consistent

You know nothing, all you want to do is criticise Fleck?.his foul was a tactical foul you clown?

Is Banks back available now? Metcalfe, Daley-Campbell and Jacobs being back and then talk of another couple of signings that?s all of a sudden another 6 players available to us.

Shame is we are now 7 points off the play off places. We have to go on a proper run soon. At least we have stopped the rot of 3 successive league defeats.

Doable.

Look at Donny last season.

But rational observers understand the situation.

Overhaul in the summer, faith in Cook to build again, then proper contenders next year...

[Waller is my hero]

We will get into the play offs minimum this season

With two home games to come. Couple of decent results and we could be on the cusp of 7th but your right, I wouldn?t want to drop much further adrift. But to show just how close things can get with the 3pts for a win, when we went 1 up at Bradford recently we were 2nd in the live table.

Yes it has opened up a little hasn?t it. I think we?ve got what it takes. We need to replace Aroujo.

63 points to play for everthing is still on and whilst it's ridiculous of me to even look this far ahead our run in (final 8-9 games) looks pretty favourable (on paper of course)

I am satisfied with a point away from home. It puts an end to the losing streak.

Good to get some actual minutes into the legs of some of the players returning from injury. They may be a little way off from starting games yet but it certainly makes the bench look stronger.

Hopefully, the new signings Cook has mentioned are ready to hit the ground running.

Another week before the next game should help towards improving the fitness of returning players and, with a bit of luck, see a strengthened team available next Saturday.

It?s all looking positive?I think we will start motoring on now
