A very poor performance, but we take the point and move on. There is still everything to play for, and both of the sides above us that played last night lost, so we gained a point on them.
Grimsby were the better side in the second half and we lost composure as the game progressed, but I thought a draw was a fair result. The absence of Vaughan is an issue and Nugent does not look up to it, but it was a game where seven or eight of our players simply did not get going: Woolery has gone off the boil, and Feeney and Lloyd were also poor. We improved slightly when Morris and Crawford came on, but I think those changes should have been made much earlier. I think only the back five and Spearing come out of the game with much credit.
We always seem to struggle against sides that scrap and make the game disjointed, but we have generally reacted well to below par performances in the past. It will be a different game against a decent Exeter side on Saturday and we need three points.
