Grimsby’s game on Saturday had to pass a late pitch inspection due to the heavy rain but come the evening many Town fans were perhaps wishing it hadn’t having seen their side run out 1-0 losers at home to play-off rivals Chesterfield. The panel begin by discussing another positive performance by The Mariners but question the resilience of the team as they hit the self-destruct button yet again, Christy Pym seeing red for a professional foul which proved to be the turning point in the game. The guys dissect that key incident among other talking points from the game before reflecting on the performances of two Grimsby players away on international duty at present, notably David Turi scoring for the Faroe Islands and rubbing shoulders with Croatia’s Luka Modric.

In Part Two Swindon Advertiser journalist Joe Acklam returns to the show to help preview Town’s trip to The Robin’s next weekend and a re-acquaintance with old nemesis Ian Holloway who’s side sit ominously top of the table...

A point gained or two dropped? That age old adage reared it’s ugly head again after Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Barrow but the guys start by looking at what might have been having watched The Mariners race into a two-goal lead and dominate proceedings throughout. They then go on to discuss the effectiveness of Artell’s formation and personnel changes, the impact of a returning Danny Rose and the reasons keeping the team back given the amount of chances they continue to create.

In Part Two the panel reflect on the ‘EFL Week of Action’ and the good work the club continue to do at the heart of the community before turning their attention to the visit of Paul Cook’s Chesterfield on Saturday for what promises to be another entertaining game and test of Town’s early promotion credentials...

After a much-earnt week off the guys return to catch up on three games in three different competitions for the Mariners over the past seven days. First the panel debate the defensive make up and fragility in the 3-2 league defeat at Crewe last Saturday. Then they turn their attentions to the 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Premier League Brentford in the Carabao Cup last sixteen on Tuesday and the ruthless nature of the visitors finishing. And lastly they discuss the 1st Round FA Cup game with non-league Ebbsfleet in which it took another sending off for the opposition before the Mariners got going, eventually coming from behind to win 3-1. What factors contributed to the side’s lacklustre first half performance and how did the returning Danny Rose and Jason Dadi Svanthorrson fair after starting alongside each other for the first time this season?

Grimsby bounced back from the disappointing home defeat at the hands of Colchester last weekend with an improved display back at BP against fellow promotion hopefuls Gillingham but they were helped on their way by an opponent being reduced to nine men for the second time this season. The panel begin by focusing on the encouraging opening half an hour performance by the Mariners whilst it was still a level playing field, the impact three changes to the starting XI made and then assess just how many of the pivotal decisions the referee got right.

In Part Two, BBC Radio Stoke’s Graham McGarry helps the guys preview Town’s trip to Crewe next weekend; will David Artell be able to get one over his old club again and lump yet more pressure on Lee Bell in the opposite dugout?

NB - Apologies for the sound quality of Graham's audio in places.

Town returned to Blundell Park buoyed after their impressive win at Salford and were looking to record three straight wins for the first time all season, but alas, it wasn’t to be and our inconsistent home form reared it’s ugly head again. The guys dissect the defeat to Colchester, the effects of Danny Cowley’s touchline antics, how and why Town stopped playing again after a bright opening half an hour and look on enviously at the impact U’s striker Micah Mbick had on the game.

In Part Two, Tom Jasper from the ME17 Podcast joins the conversation and explains how we might be in for more of the same frustration when Gillingham visit Blundell Park on Saturday…

Town return to winning ways on the road and regular host Chris returns to look back at another impressive performance by The Mariners, this time at much fancied Salford in the heavy wind and rain. The panel begin by discussing the evolution of the side’s away performances, how scoring “way too early” in games is no longer something to dread and the continuing form of a rejuvenated Charles Vernam. The guys then discuss the greater squad depth available to manager David Artell now and how that might effect the way we can set up against differing opposition and the under rated assurance keeper Christy Pym and defender Cameron McJannet are bringing to the side.

In Part Two, sports writer Jon Waldron from the Essex Daily Gazette joins the conversation to help preview Colchester’s visit to Blundell Park next weekend and sheds light on why the U’s have struggled in the league so far this season… That is until yesterday when they thumped Chesterfield 6-2, typical!

This week it’s the turn of Adam Howard to host the show again and he does so in exemplary fashion looking back at the big talking points coming out of BP from over the last seven days; our Fourth Round Carabao Cup draw against Brentford, Cam Gardner’s lengthy injury lay off and the emphatic win over managerless Cheltenham. The guys discuss the stunning strikes of Jamie Walker as he stakes a claim for a regular starting spot, our relentless attacking play despite two sending’s off for the Robins and a welcome return for fans favourite Jason Dadi Svanthorsson.

In Part Two, friend of the pod and Salford devote, Danny Shepherd joins the conversation to help preview The Mariners trip to The Ammies next weekend; surely it couldn’t be an early promotion “six pointer”?!

It was a week of mixed emotions for the travelling Town faithful with success on the road at Hillsborough on Tuesday night, claiming another scalp in the Carabao Cup – this time Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, but then a humbling 3-0 defeat at Barnet in the league on Saturday, our first away from home all season. The guys begin by commending the players after prevailing in an unusual game and atmosphere mid-week but then turn their attentions to the more worrying display on Saturday and one that David Artell described as “abject”. Why is there a downward trend in performances? How much are we contributing to our own downfall? And how much do we miss the influential Kieran Green when he’s unavailable?

In Part Two, journalist Jon Palmer from Gloucester Live joins the show to help preview the visit of bottom club, and now manager-less, Cheltenham Town to Blundell Park next weekend.

The Mariners were left frustrated by stubborn opposition for a second home game running on Saturday, Justin Amaluzor’s injury time equaliser rescuing a point against Cambridge Utd. The panel dissect a disjointed performance devoid of any real quality and debate whether it was “just one of those days” or if there are any underlying concerns with our performances at home. They then discuss Artell’s and the players in game management, whether there is a perceived lack of a Plan B at present and how much another poor reffereeing display contributed to our downfall.

In the second half of the show the guys turn their attention to Tuesday nights 3rd Round Carabao Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday, a club currently in turmoil on and off the pitch and then Bees fan and sports writer Trevor Knell joins the conversation to help preview Town’s trip to newly promoted Barnet on Saturday…

Usual host Chris is away this week so Steven Young has the questionable honour of being in the hot seat and wastes no time getting down to business and discussing a busy week for The Mariners, on and off the pitch. The sides statement 3-2 win at MK Dons on Saturday rightfully takes centre stage but the controversial defeat at Bradford mid-week in the EFL Trophy, deadline day signings, the club’s fine for fielding an ineligible player against Man Utd and Jason Stockwood being appointed Minister of Investment are all topics covered... Just don’t ask Charles his opinion on the club that shouldn’t be named!

Then, in Part Two, Tom Walker from the brilliant “Under the Abbey Stand” Podcast joins the guys to help preview the visit of Cambridge on Saturday and provides in depth insight on The U’s...
