Davison Speaks Out!

GRIMSBY Town goalkeeper Aiden Davison echoed today what many of the fans and supporters are saying. "At the moment we are floating on mediocrity"

"I don't think there's any secret formula. It's just perseverance on the training ground. We are potential play-off contenders. But at the moment I wouldn't want to be saying any more than that. It's not unreasonable to say we can do it", he told the Grimsby Telegraph.

"We've got enough around the dressing room to do that but it's the form and the consistency. We're not a million miles away. I'm enjoying being back, but I'll enjoy it more when we start winning."

"We keep getting to within touching distance of the top and then we slip back again. That's what is so frustrating. We can see it, we can reach it, but we're just not getting there."

On the defence he said; "If we had carried on the way we were at the start of the season we'd be in the drop zone. We've turned the corner at the back but we have to strive for better things."

"We've got to be more clever. The best teams adapt and that's what we have to do to break teams down."

"We have to go to Peterborough and grind out a result and get the feel-good factor going again. If we can get to that next stage it's either a money spinner for the club or a chance to progress. We must get over this obstacle."
