Mariners slammed by Buckley

Grimsby Town boss Alan Buckley slated the attitude of his players after they lost 2-0 at home to Chester City.
The loss at Blundell Park left the Mariners marooned in the wrong half of the League Two table and Buckley was far from happy.
He said: "When I watch us I don't detect much enthusiasm or hunger. I find that really weird. Without the desire to play you are not going to get far.
"I don't see much desire to play for the shirt, to get out there, get buzzing and get playing.
"If it is 0-0 we keep having a go, but if we concede that first goal I don't see anybody pulling their sleeves up and getting stuck in.
"I think the lads' confidence is shot. The results have affected them."
