7: Alan Buckley 1.04 PPG
Here is an entry I can completely get on board with. Forget the points per game and all that, Buckley painfully left Peter Gain on the bench and insisted on playing his son, Adam, in the most blatant case of nepotism I’ve seen since my Dad played me up top for Wragby Under 13s all season, despite me only scoring once.
Buckley, like Kerr, is a manager Grimsby fans would speak highly of who flopped at Lincoln. He did have some good ideas, he wanted to play a neat passing game and gave us a huge 3-2 win against Mansfield in his first game in charge, as well as a follow up win at Kidderminster to give us two away wins in a week after failing to get one in 11 months.
That still doesn’t mask have woefully poor we were under him. In his defence, we were cash-strapped and sinking fast than the Titanic at the time, which adds some context. If you’re feeling a little sorry for him hitting the top ten here, just remember, he left Gain on the bench.
