League Two Grimsby Town (1) v Rovers (2)

[Boz]

Mind games from Nigel not mentioning Saunders on the absentee list? Can see the logic of Jolley for physical presence and Jennings good in the air, although I share Ian’s reservations. Wouldn’t mind trying Hawkes and Jennings in a home game, but unsure Josh offers enough in terms of workrate for an away battle.

No Taylor as sadly predicted even off the bench. Saunders presumably injured but no pace on the bench is a curious one. Adkins clearly doesn't rate Taylor - needs to go out on loan asap.

 

[ADD]

Jennings miss just now is poor. Miles over the bar..

 

[Ian]

Frustrating bitty game. Just can't get the passing going. God knows how Grimsby scored 5 last week. Hopefully we can get one before HT to liven up the game.

 

[Ian]

Apter with the magic again!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sparky]

Apter at it again! 1-0

 

[ADD]

Apter nice!!!

 

[Ian]

And thats what a bit of quality can do because that game needed some life! Come on Rovers, let's get another.

 

[Ian]

ohh nooooooooo 1-1

 

[Ian]

Awful defending again.

 

[ADD]

Awful defending again.

Yep shocking.

 

[Sparky]

Was nice whilst it lasted….1-1

 

[Ian]

1-1 HT. Poor scrappy half with too many players not at their best. Jolley not in the game and we need more from down the left. We can win this game but we need most players to step it up a bit.

 

[Higgy 2]

Goalscorers Apter and Tharme both Blackpool loanees, albeit Tharme just signed permanent deal with Mariners. Tharme from Birkenhead.

 

[Boz]

Sounds like a very sloppy goal to concede. Morris seems to be having a quiet game so maybe an opening for Hawkes?

 

[Ian]

Goal!!!!!!!!!!! Well, own goal but it all counts 1-2.

 

[Ian]

Another tricky cross from Apter, Mullarkey shins it into his own goal.

 

[Sparky]

Could do with a third goal to kill the game off

 

[Sparky]

McGee with a great save. Can we hold on for a win?

 

[Sparky]

Brilliant result!!
