View From The Findus | A Grimsby Town Podcast

Grimsby have played a further three times since we last recorded so Chris and the panel waste no time examining the six points gained from a possible nine over the last week, keeping The Mariners in a play-off berth for now. Why were we so flat at Oldham? And despite winning both games, why did the score-lines against Fleetwood and Barrow perhaps not tell the full story? The guys then go on to discuss the untimely injuries to Charles Vernam and Evan Khouri and debate whether the impending international break will prove a help or a hinderance with just eight games left to play.+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage and Jason SadlerSubscribe 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 music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on SpotifyOutro Music - "Hurt Then, Hurts Now" by Kid Spirit - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++

Grimsby made a return to the play-off places for the first time since November this week after another vital four points were gained against fellow promotion hopefuls Salford and Bromley. The panel start by dissecting the back to back home games, the clinical nature of our goals against The Amies and our endeavour against the league leaders. The guys then debate the conflicting styles of Grimsby and Saturday’s visitors Bromley and which of the clubs might have the last laugh before discussing the recently announced contract extension of poster boy Charles Vernam. In Part Two the guys are joined by Oldham disability liaison officer and freelance journalist Aaron Diskin who provides an depth insight on how the Latics have faired on their first season back in the football league after a 3 year hiatus and why next weekend’s visit to Boundary Park will be far from easy for The Mariners.+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Dave Laister, Charles Lumley and Aaron DiskinSubscribe 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+++

Town bounced back from the disappointment of last week’s defeat at Bristol Rovers with a statement win over an in form Notts County side at Meadow Lane. The panel begin by dissecting the team performance but also that of individuals such as the returning Jayden Sweeney and Maldini Kacurri and match winner Charles Vernam. The guys then give their thoughts on the controversial red card for County’s Lee Ndlovu and the ongoing debate over young striker Judre Soonsup-Bell; is he doing a self-less job for the team or not doing enough to contribute in games?The conversation then moves on to recent interviews given by ex-Town players Max Crocombe and John McAtee and the surprising effect Grimsby has seemingly had on both of their careers before attentions turn to another potentially pivotal week ahead for The Mariners; Salford and Bromley fans Danny Shepherd and Andrew Miller helping preview back to back home games in Town’s on going search of a play-off place.+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Helen Walker 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+++

The Mariners unbeaten start to 2026 finally came to an end on Saturday, going down 3-1 at relegation threatened Bristol Rovers. Host Matt and the panel begin by dissecting that and the mid-week draw with Walsall before exploring our new Achilles heel of defending set-pieces, the impact squad rotation may have had on performances and how much we may rue points dropped against teams in the bottom half. The guys then discuss the biggest takeaways from the recent fans forum and have their say on the thorny issue of the Blundell Park pitch. In Part Two Tom Wagstaff from the “Notts County Talk” Podcast joins the conversation to help preview Town’s trip to an in form Magpies side next Saturday and then the gang consider whether the play-offs are still a realistic aim for The Mariners with 14 games remaining.+++Hosted by Matt Dannatt with guests Liam Wood and Steve Claybourn.

The national media descended on Grimsby again this weekend with the arrival of Premier League side Wolves in the FA Cup 4th Round but sadly it was the Blundell Park pitch that stole the headlines and almost ruined the game as a contest. The panel begin by discussing the 1-0 defeat and how the state of the pitch may well have hindered Town more than their supposedly superior opposition. The guys then also look back at the important league win over Accrington mid-week which took them to within a point of the play-offs and the impact Maldini Kacurri and Tyrell Sellars-Fleming had on their first starts for the club.In Part Two, and in true football cliché style, the pod begin to ‘concentrate on the league’ and assess The Mariners play-off hopes and ambitions. Is seventy points a realistic aim? Will a larger squad allow Artell to keep players fresher for longer? And psychologically, is it easier to be the hunters rather than the hunted?+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Adam Howard and Sam Allen.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+++

It was a tale of two missed penalties in South Wales on Saturday As Town secured another point and clean sheet at struggling Newport. The panel begin by dissecting a game of contrasting halves for The Mariners and the growing influence striker Andy Cook is having on performances. They then discuss the significance of Wednesday’s home game against Accrington, the importance of Cameron McJannet’s one year contract extension and condemn the sexist abuse directed at female referee Kirsty Dowie during the MK Dons game.In Part Two, Dave Azzopardi from the “Talking Wolves” Podcast joins the guys to preview Grimsby’s big FA Cup 4th Round tie with Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers next Sunday. Are the side rock bottom of the Prem welcome of the cup distraction, what difference has Rob Edwards made since his appointment and which players are likely to feature at BP? And there’s a few memories of previous encounters between the two sides thrown in for good measure!+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Young, Paul Savage and Dave Azzopardi.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+++
