"I'm quite relaxed. I feel quite calm. It's a fantastic achievement."
"It was definitely a lapse in concentration for the second and we got rattled. It can happen and they had a wobble after we scored. If we'd got a second then we may have done on to win.
"Jon Parkin and Charlie Clough both had good chances after half time, but sometimes you have to say well done to the opposition. Grimsby did well and they deserve to be in League Two because they put their chances away."
Calm, collectively collected and totally cool, despite wasting Amond in a thankless headless chicken roll. They kept the ball and kept their heads and proved what we all felt: that promotion was sealed in boiling Braintree.
One-dimensional Bristol Rovers copyists. Take Marsh-Brown away and it's just a bunch of well-paid blokes in a field. Money wasn't enough to motivate their mercenaries against the will of humanity and wall of sound.
Like a Zulu chant, the Clapping Fish fills foes with fear. We were the audible wave upon which the players surfed.
Mr R Jones (Glamorgan)
Flawless, when it could have been lawless: 9.224. On a day like this, there is nothing to grumble about.
Clap. Clap. Clap-clap-clap-clap. Fish! Clap. Clap. Clap-clap-clap-clap. Fish! Clap. Clap. Clap-clap-clap-clap. Fish!
In a word: karma
