Grimsby Town were no better than Alfreton - Nicky Law
ALFRETON manager Nicky Law insists Grimsby Town were no better than his side on Saturday – despite the Reds’ 4-2 defeat.
The former Mariners boss watched his team take a first-half lead at Blundell Park, before the Conference leaders roared back to take three points.

He said: “They’re top of the league and I don’t mean to be disrespectful in any way, shape or form because they’re doing something right with the points they’ve got.
“But, for me, there isn’t a great deal of difference between the two teams – it’s just that one doesn’t make the stupid mistakes that we’ve been making all season.

“We’re making the wrong decisions defensively and if you do that, you’re going to concede goals.
“No one this season has opened us up and given us a good bashing. It’s been self-inflicted all the time with the basic schoolboy errors that we’re making.
“I’m not going to say ‘we’ve come to Grimsby and got beat 4-2 and oh well, we did well,’ because we didn’t.
“On Saturday’s performance, there was nothing between the two teams.”

“Yes Mr Law in your own words your beloved Alfreton are as good as the mighty Mariners. However there is a difference of 21 league points and 16 league positions to take into account that says differently. Any team can have a few moments or indeed games of quality, however you have to sustain that over 46 league games. Clearly yout team does not do that.
Back to the drawing board Mr Law.”

“And making stupid mistakes does make the difference between top and also-rans. We don't make many mistakes in defence (famous last words!). He's got a point, though. We need to start playing better from the start or our luck will run out. Is this where the proverbial "competition for places" should kick in among the squad? Superb result though and I'm loving this season. Come on Town!!!!!!!!!!”

“Im not being funny but we never looked like we was gonna lose that game. As soon as we scored it was pretty much all town and i think the stats should confirm that. Second half when we had the wind we looked comfortable.
