View From The Findus | A Grimsby Town Podcast

This week It’s the VFTF works Christmas do and you’re all invited along! Returning host Chris has put some money behind the bar, Charles Lumley has provided the venue and Paul Savage has provided the booze and they are the panellists to guide us through Part One of tonights special festive edition of the pod. The guys begin by discussing another winless afternoon for the Mariners at Bromley and the questionable team selection of David Artell, a manager that’s arguably been afforded too much patience up to now or perhaps he’s only just in the ascendency of a long term project aligned with the owners? The fan base appears split on the answer to that conundrum. In Part Two Steve Young and Dave Laister join the party to have a wider look at the season so far and debate whether or not we have made any significant improvement from this time last year. And then they turn their attention to the impending January transfer window and how Artell and co may go about changing the fortunes and inspiring a squad currently devoid of all confidence. Along the way the panellists choose their player of the season so far, a summer signing that has made the most impact, the most under rated and underwhelming players and also give their Secret Santa suggestions and Town related new years resolutions. Grab yourself a Christmas tipple and settle in to a must listen for all Mariners fans over the festive period!+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Charles Lumley, Steve Young and Dave Laister.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

Matt Dannatt is on hosting duties for the first time this week and with help from the panel he wastes no time in tackling the biggest talking points from another disappointing home defeat for the Mariners, this time going down 2-0 to 2nd placed Notts County and in many ways the ninety minutes were a microcosm of Town’s season so far. Are the underlying performances still good enough to give fans hope that results will eventually be reflective? Or does three points from a possible twenty-one now mean more urgent change is required to arrest the slump, whether that be individually or tactically? The panel then go on to discuss their Christmas wish list in terms of potential squad bolstering before being joined by Andrew Miller from the ‘Bromley Breakdown’ Pod to preview another ominous looking away trip next weekend.+++Hosted by Matt Dannatt with guests Steve Claybourn, Helen Walker and Andrew Miller.

It’s our party and we’ll cry if we want to! To mark the 100th episode of VFTF, regular host Chris swaps places with panellist Adam and the latter wastes no time in garnering opinion on Town’s 2-1 home defeat to Tranmere under the lights at BP last Thursday. Was Pym at fault for their opener? What’s going wrong in defence? And has a rejuvenated Darragh Burns finally won his shirt back after a MOTM display? The guys then go on to discuss David Artell’s second anniversary as Mariners boss and what progress the club have made on and off the pitch during his tenure before rounding off this centenary episode with a look ahead to the visit of National League side Wealdstone in the FA Cup 2nd Round next Saturday. Can Town avenge the 1-0 home defeat to the same opposition in the FA Cup last season?+++Hosted by Adam Howard with guests Chris Mills, Steve Claybourn and Jason Sadler.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

Town had to come through two down to rescue a point at high flying Swindon on Saturday but by doing so they showed real resilience and the panel begin by discussing whether or not the positive reaction of the players in the first half could potentially be looked back upon as a pivotal moment in the season come May. The guys then go on to discuss our defensive injury concerns and the affect that could be having on an over reliance of key players, the reasoning behind the signing and subsequent performance of emergency loan keeper Richard O’Donnell and the underrated importance and impact of Darragh Burns on the dynamic of the side. In Part Two the guys speculate as to which of the players out of contract next summer are the most important to tie down on longer deals and then turn their attention to the visit of Tranmere next Thursday, a more unusual date and KO time courtesy of the Sky Sports cameras rolling back into town…+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage and George Mann.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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...+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Young, Liam Wood and Joe Acklam.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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... +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Dave Laister and Matt Dannatt.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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?+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Dave Laister and Charles LumleySubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken++++++ Hosted on Acast.

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.+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, Sam Allen and Graham McGarrySubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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…+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Adam Howard and Tom Jasper.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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! +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steven Young, Jason Sadler and Jon Waldron.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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”?!+++ Hosted by Adam Howard with guests George Mann, Helen Walker and Danny Shepherd.

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.+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, Dave Laister (Pod Debut!) and Jon PalmerSubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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…+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Sam Allen and Trevor Knell.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

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...

After their cup heroics against Man Utd mid-week, Town were brought back to earth with a bump on Saturday; visitors Bristol Rovers inflicting The Mariners first defeat in all competitions this season. The panel start by dissecting a perhaps understandable lethargic first half display and then discuss the impact substitutes George McEachran and Darragh Burns had on a much improved second half performance which saw Town do everything but score an equaliser. They then touch on the circus surrounding the Utd win and its likely effects on the players, a questionable refereeing display and the positives to take into the second month of the season. In part two the team speculate as to what deadline day business the club might do on Monday and which areas of David Artell’s squad still need strengthening, if any!

The Mariners were on the road twice this week and followed up an impressive win at last seasons beaten play-off finalists Walsall in mid-week with a hard earned point at Accrington on Saturday. However, the guys begin by discussing what might have been in the latter game, Town again rueing missed chances and another missed penalty before allowing their lesser opponents a route back into the game. Is the lack of a ruthlessness becoming an issue for the team or is it a good sign we're creating chances consistently? The panellists then revel in the resolute Walsall win and another MOTM performance from fans favourite Kieran Green.

Grimsby kept up their unbeaten start to the season with two more home wins this week, first putting Shrewsbury to the sword in the Carabao Cup and then beating Newport in the league with goals in the very first and last minute of the game bookending another confident display. The guys start by discussing the strength and depth of the squad, the pleasing impact fringe players and substitutes are starting to have and how missing that clinical edge nearly came back to bite us on Saturday. Talk then turns to stand out individual performances, such as that of match winner Kieran Green who is the physical embodiment of the teams never say die attitude and then the small matter of drawing Man Utd in the second round of the cup! In Part Two, EFL pundit Ed Walker joins the show to help preview The Mariners next two games against Walsall and Accrington and then gives his opinion on how Artell’s men have started the campaign, which Town player he is most excited about and which teams in League Two have impressed, disappointed and surprised him the most so far. +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Sam Allen and Ed WalkerSubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

Buoyed by their opening day performance against Crawley, the Town faithful travelled in their numbers to Harrogate this weekend hoping the side would pick up where they left off but it didn’t quite go to plan. The panel start by discussing a sobering afternoon for The Mariners and try to pinpoint just where and how things went wrong in a crazy second half that saw all six goals scored within it. Nevertheless, the guys are in agreeance there were still plenty of positives to take away from the afternoon, not least the character and resilience of the players to come from 3-1 down and Jaze Kabia’s impressive late equaliser. In part two, panellist from the ‘1912 Exiles’ podcast, Ian Street, joins the conversation to help preview the visit of Newport next weekend and explains why the South Wales outfit changed manager during the summer, which of their recent signings Grimsby fans need to fear most and the surprising origins of the club’s stylish new away kit which might be debuted at BP!+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Young, Helen Walker and Ian Street.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

Football is finally back and with it blue skies and renewed optimism in Cleethorpes! The Mariners ran out comfortable 3-0 winners on opening day with a dominant display over newly relegated Crawley. Therefore the panel are in buoyant mood and waste no time waxing lyrical about the team’s performance, the gulf in quality and work rate between the two sides and stand out individual performances such as that of new number nine, Jaze Gabia. In part two, the guys are joined by Harrogate fan Neil Hirst who helps them preview the Mariners trip to North Yorkshire next weekend, just four months after that famous Kieran Green goal stole the headlines in the same fixture at the back end of last season.
