GRIMSBY Town joint boss Rob Scott was full of praise for his side's performance at Macclesfield last night and declared – "I'll take five more of those."
Scott said his players answered all of the questions asked of them in recent weeks as they ran out 3-1 winners at Moss Rose.
The win consolidated the Mariners' place in the play-offs and extended the gap between them and closest challengers Forest Green Rovers to seven points.
Scott said: "We weren't great for the first 20 minutes. We had to come to terms with how they were playing," he said.
"They changed their system to a diamond and we changed it to hurt them a little bit more, and it worked. That's not just coming from us – the players implemented it.
"We said at half-time that there was only one team to go on and win it and so it proved.
"We thought that we'd hurt them in the offensive areas and that was the case, they didn't do anything to us in the second half.
He continued: "People are going to ask questions of us – that's understandable because it wasn't a great March for us.
"The lads were a little bit hurt by the things that were being said, but they came back and showed what they're all about. They've been bitterly disappointed by some of the recent performances and they wanted to put them right and they did that.
"They're a great bunch and they tried their hardest week in week out and against Macclesfield they showed what they're all about.
"We aim to prove a point every time we go out – I want that mentality. They have to earn the right to play for Grimsby Town and be proud to do that. We've got a group of players that are desperate to take that step forward."
