    I reckon Mola is being released and Dewsbury will go out on loan to the 5th tier.

    KO has happened

    Also wondering whether Hutchinson will still be here and Bilongo doesn't get much game time either

    4th minute Corner to Grimsby which Southwood punched out and Grimsby reclaimed the ball to win another corner which misses everybody and Rovers survive and regroup

    6th minute Omochere wins a throwin and Southam - Hales long throw is put out for a Rovers corner in the 7th minute which Grimsby clear

    9th minute Omochere lays the ball off to Sotiriou who's weak on target shot is saved

    10th minute free kick Grimsby which goes all the way through and the man on the back post gets a touch and it hits the post

    14th minute a Thomas cross is blocked behind for a corner which looks as if it came to nothing

    20th minute Grimsby player racing through but is stopped by Kilgour but is adjudged to have pulled

    the player back, free kick collected by Southwood

    23rd minute a cross from Thomas is collected by Pym before it reaches Harrison

    24th minute a Southam - hales cross finds Omochere who's touch is heavy and Grimsby regain the ball

    Amaluzor gets the games first yellowcard for a foul on Sparkes

    27th minute a Southam - Hales cross is headed wide by Kilgour, Ref gives a corner home fans not happy especially as Sparkes corner is headed down and driven into the bottom corner by Southam - Hales

    Grimsby 0 - 1 Rovers

    Good to see our defenders showing the strikers where the net is

    33rd minute Grimsby's Staunton puts in a good cross which beats everyone in the penalty area

    Screamer into the bottom corner from out the box following a clearance from our corner.

    Man Utd were 2-0 down by now, are we better than Man Utd? ;)

    Thought everybody was CJS

    Lopata collides with a Grimsby player and is yellow carded, Daniel reckons the Conteh incident was the worse of the two, Vernam's free kick straight to Southwood

    HT. Well done Rovers. I am expecting a response from Grimsby in the 2nd half.

    2 grimsby changes at HT Burns and McEachran on Amaluzor and Khouri off

    A friend is at the game. He just messaged me saying we've been solid defending all over the pitch, closing down everything and not allowing Grimsby to settle. And we look dangerous ourselves at times.

    Compare that to the opening games. It's like chalk and cheese. A few more additions with some quality and creativeness and we could be a dangerous club.

    Even if we don't hold on today, this 1st half 'should' give the players a lot of confidence going into upcoming games because if we can restrict Grimsby to just 3 shots - 1 just on target, and defend well as a team against a team who have been free scoring so far, this can only breed a positive mentality.
