Yes that’s the foundation now to build on and I quite agree we are off the mark. For me last night set the bar and standard for a home performance that we should try to emulate each game. You make your own luck in football and perhaps on another day it would have been much closer a result as 2-1 as I’d predicted. That goal difference enhancement we have to take it.
The key as with any successful season will be how consistent will we be and that’s why it’s too early to tell and judge. On that one game alone it was a top end league two performance as the Grimsby fans allude to with individual performances of league one and above. Can we put in those performances at home and can players keep on form? That is the question that will get answered over the coming months.
What was promising about last night is this is the best we’ve been under SM and if it’s the worst we will be because they’ve not played together for long then the potential is there.
For me we just need to be careful about backing off when opposing teams run at our defence and defending those high balls into the six yard box and insuring that errors leading to goals from these do not undermine everything else that is good and promising.
