Grimsby were left to rue missed chances on Saturday with a late dubious penalty gifting Sutton an undeserved point. The guys begin by reflecting on another solid away performance, discuss all the fall out from that decision and then look back at another hard fought point and clean sheet at Wimbledon on Tuesday night. The Mariners are much improved and have now gone 4 games unbeaten but can they continue their form against play off hopefuls MK Dons and Gillingham this coming week? The guys round off the show by previewing both games and are helped with this by Matt from YouTube channel “Gills In The Blood”.

Grimsby secured a vital three points against relegation rivals Forest Green on Saturday and the guys begin by taking an in depth look back at the game and the positive effects a change in formation seems to have had on the team. They then turn their attention to the club’s annual accounts which were published last week, have a round up of all the latest goings on in League Two and then finish by previewing both games coming up in the next week, away trips to AFC Wimbledon and Sutton United. Dan from the Sutton Blog ‘Gandermonium’ helps provide insight on the latter.

This week the guy’s reflect on a hard fought point at Morecambe but was David Artell’s slight change of approach purposeful or forced upon him by injuries? They then discuss news of a new CEO in the form of Polly Bancroft, Alex Hunt’s departure for York on loan and look ahead to a potentially season defining game against Forest Green Rovers next Saturday, with insight provided by Josh Evans from BBC Radio Gloucestershire. Can the Mariners find that elusive first win of 2024 and how does their “run in” compare to the other sides at the bottom? The lads finish this week’s show with a look back at some of their favourite right wingers as they continue to compile their ‘Ultimate 21st Century XI’… head over to Twitter to cast your vote!

This week the guys are left to sift through the wreckage after a disastrous 5-1 home defeat to Doncaster and try desperately to cling on to any last strands of hope they can find. They discuss where it went wrong, the fans unrest, Artell’s comments and Stockwood’s vote of confidence, if that’s what you can call it? And they finish by tentatively turning their attention to the Mariners trip to Morecambe next weekend with insight provided by Joel Shooter from the Shrimps Trust Podcast.

Grimsby continued their poor run of home form on Saturday with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of table topping Stockport but how much did the Mariners contribute to their own downfall? The panellists discuss the fall out and ramifications of that loss but try to stay positive ahead of a potentially pivotal week in the club’s season with games against fellow strugglers Colchester and Doncaster. Dan Pearson from the YouTube channel ’18 Dapper’ helps provide insight on the latter.

This week the guys are joined by a special guest in the form of EFL expert pundit Gabriel Sutton.

He then assists in looking back at the 0-0 draw and a much needed clean sheet against Accrington, previews our chances against table topping Stockport next weekend and answers fans questions submitted via Twitter.

The VFTF have made a January signing of their own and their newest panelist Matt is straight in at the deep end to help Chris and Steve dissect the disappointing Tranmere defeat. With just 2 days left before the transfer window slams shut the guys then go on to discuss the areas of the squad in most urgent need of bolstering, three players that departed the club this week and former manager Paul Hurst’s re-emergence at Shrewsbury. They finish the show by previewing next weekend’s trip to Accrington and reminisce of Matt’s time as Sports Editor at the Grimsby Telegraph… Which may or may not include an anecdote involving Chris Doig chasing him across a car park in Maccesfield!

No game? No problem! The guys start by discussing Adam’s curtailed trip to Harrogate as Saturday’s game fell victim to a frozen pitch. They look at some of the adventures Grimsby fans had instead of watching their own team and the wider implications of the postponement. They then look ahead to Tranmere’s visit to Blundell Park next week with extra insight from Paul, member of the ‘This Is Tranmere’ podcast. And then the debate continues for the shows ‘Ultimate 21st Century GTFC XI’; this week the turn of the centre back’s. Might we have just formed The Andy Todd Appreciation Society…?

The tragic death of youth team player Cameron Walsh and his father Dave rocked the club, community and town as a whole this week and therefore the guys begin the episode with a tribute to the pair. A link to the GoFundMe page set up to support their family is below if you would like to make a donation. Football doesn’t seem important in light of such devastating news but there was a game to discuss this weekend never the less and what a game it was. The panelists do their best to pick the bones out of the crazy 5-5 draw with Notts County, then profile the three new signings made by the club on Friday, look ahead to our trip to Harrogate next weekend and finish with Adam’s review of the new ‘All Town Aren’t We’ film which has been showing at Cleethorpes cinema this past fortnight. Did it inspire the current squad’s performance against The Magpies?!

All four regular panelists appear on the same episode for the first time to see in the New Year and to discuss all of the games over a busy festive period which saw Grimsby play four times in just ten days. The lads have their say on the defeats against Harrogate, Mansfield and Walsall and the solitary win over Salford before debating which areas of the squad need the most urgent attention in the impending January transfer window.
