21 December 2009

"Different managers have different views on the importance of training" manager Woods observed to the Telegraph today, drily. "I'm one of those who think it is very important." Well with the Town players looking fitter by the match and actually sometimes ending them on top (although without the elusive win that proves the theory sort of conclusively) it seems as though he may be right. Your Guest Diarist has been rueing only hearing Friday's almost rousing home draw with stuffing-everybody-lately Morecambe via Radio Humberside and the dulcet tones of John Tondeur.

A combination of loads of snow and ice where I live and a hatred of bloody Friday night football kept me away, but it sounded like a great performance by the lads. And Sweeney's volley was just sublime. A shame we switched off for that short corner and the Proudlock is just not quite recovered to his best. But I have honestly started to think that if Town carry on like this they will actually stuff some team sooner rather than later. And that will put the shits right up Lincoln, eh?

It was nice also to read a fraction too much into the Morecambe managers admission that "I thought Grimsby played very well" too. Too right they did. So another week leading up to Christmas where we can hope for a storming recovery in the second half of the season.

Quite why Leary waited this long to have a good game must go down as one of lifes little mysteries though. And with the Jarman getting himself noticed with a five minute comeback cameo of total enthusiasm there has to be a bit more to come. Christ, we might even be able to pick a proper right back before February. See yer.
