Conteh in his match interview said they were looking to win this match

52nd minute Sotiriou down injured replaced by Cavegn

54th minute free kick Grimsby

 

A great connection - that’s a thing of beauty.

 

Well that's not 5 at the back

 

56th minute Harrison shot is blocked

57th minute Khouri shoots wide Grimsby on top

58th minute yellow card for Rovers for time wasting, Daniel's not sure whether it was Kilgour or Southwood

 

As Sotiriou was the number 10 today behind Harrison, I would have thought Hutchinson would have been his replacement. I like this from DC. Keeps Grimsby honest at the back. Possible stretch their defence.

 

Sotiriou went off with an injury. Calf issue. Definately need another attacker now.

 

61st minute Harrison down looks like he is coming off

todays attendance 7406 407 being away fans

Thomas and Harrison off Moore and Howley on, looks like a formation change, hope it is not three at the back if it is we can kiss the points goodbye

 

Oh dear. Moore is on

 

Looks like we’ve changed formation to 4-4-2.

 

2 attackers off and a midfielder on and a defender. That is now 5 at the back.

 

65th minute Southwood collects the ball to stop it reaching the man at the back post

67th minute George McEachran puts one over the bar

 

Digging in to defend for the last 25mins.

 

Too early to do this. I don't like it. Not at all.

 

69th minute Sparkes wins the ball and the linesman awards a free kick to Grimsby, Sparkes not happy
which resulted in a miss at the back post in the 70th minute

74th minute McEachran of Hutchinson on

75th minute a Hutchinson effort is dragged wide but it got a nick on the way out corner Rovers

79th minute cross from Hutchinson blocked out

 

I'm not liking this.

 

80th minute Kabia and Staunton off Rose and Gardener on

83rd minute Daniel sayingRovers are putting their bodies on the line for the cause

85th minute Grimsby corner blocked out by Conteh for another corner

88th minute Southwood getting treatment for a knock on the head

90th minute Daniel saying not sure how that hasn't gone i for Grimsby

7 minutes extra time

90+2 corner to Grimsby

90+2 Vernam off Oduor on

90+4 Corner conceded by Sparkes which in the 90+5th minute went Wide

90+6 Cavegn wins a free kick by the corner flag

 

16.55 Omochere shoots wide should have made it 2 - 0 and killed the game off

FT Grimsby 0 - 1 Rovers

Grimsby's first defeat in the league and we do it with a clean sheet, Goodnight Irene

 

We won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes!!

1-0 Gas - a resolute defensive display after a sublime strike from Southam-Hales and a third league clean sheet in a row. UTG!
