A trip to Cleethorpes brings back many memories, mostly good, away to Grimsby.
- Do you remember Mixu scoring 2 first half goals on his debut? - Nathan Blake running half the length of the pitch and through about 3 defenders to score. - Ricketts, Holdsworth, Gudni all scoring in wins.
Since 1990, we have played at Blundell Park 8 times with 6 wins and 2 draws – pretty impressive!
Up until Saturday and the head butting incident, Grimsby had gone 8 games without defeat but only 1 win in that sequence. Draws will not rescue Grimsby – they have to go for the win. I notice that the 2 combatants in the head butting (including Filipe Morais) will never play for Grimsby again.
We have to be confident, but not complacent, for this match. Our form, except for goal scoring is excellent. Again, I don’t think we will score many but with Grimsby desperate for a win, I see a confident 2-0 win

Feel too over confident to predict in this one davidm, we simply must win to calm my nerves😬😬😬
Always remember Clive Mendonca scoring against us and he once bagged a hat trick against us

I hope you’re right and neither play because it seriously weakens their team, which can’t exactly be full of confidence anyway. For the life of me, I just can’t see a way we should lose this game but then we all know that they’re exactly the ones where you do come unstuck. Still as rftr says, as long as the players aren’t over confident they should be far too good for Grimsby. I feel that if we can get an early goal the confidence, if they have any, will quickly drain from them and open up the chance of this being our opportunity to finally bag a few. Based on that but mindful I’ve been wrong every time I’ve forecast a comfortable win this season, I’m going for a 3-0 win to the Whites and no nail biting finish for once!!

Based on that but mindful I’ve been wrong every time I’ve forecast a comfortable win this season, I’m going for a 3-0 win to the Whites and no nail biting finish for once!! From BBC Sport:- Grimsby Town midfielder Filipe Morais and forward Stefan Payne will not play for the club again. Payne, 29, was sent off for headbutting Morais, 35, just before half-time in the 1-0 defeat at Bradford last Saturday. The defeat left the Mariners seven points adrift of safety in League Two.
Boss Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside: "They remain contracted but won't play again. The club has dealt with the situation."
Payne's deal expires at the end of this campaign, so he has almost certainly played his last game for the club.
Morais has another year on the contract he signed in December 2020 but Hurst said the Portuguese "was not in his plans" for next season before the incident.

He was subbed at HT so obviously something rumbled on and he was partly to blame. The incident(on pitch) itself was not that bad to warrant 2 players getting marching orders. Was more of those head shoves you see most of the time(usually opposition though)
Guess if theyre going to non league they may be seeing that as a way to force out Morais.

Hopefully the unrest in the camp will unsettle them for tomorrow and make our job slightly easier? I don’t think PM was a Hurst signing so maybe he was looking for a way to get rid but at 35years old with another year on his contract, he may just be tempted to sit it out if no better offers come his way. I certainly would if I felt I’d been badly treated.

Would be great to get to see these last 5 games up close and personal, we would sell out all our remaining 3 away games and I would have thought maybe 20,000 our last 2 home games but never mind it will have to be via online. Let's keep the ball rolling first goal early and maybe 3-1 to us game over onwards and upwards stay safe one and all COYWM

I think I’d prefer Cambridge to draw with Newport David because assuming we win, we’d still be top but it would be more points ahead of Newport in case we have to settle for 2nd or 3rd. In fact you could even make a case for Cambridge winning to keep the chasers back? Either way, nothing changes the fact that above all we have to win. I think we will.

Well if you’re going to concede, I suppose it’s best in the first minute but oh dear, what on earth was Gilks doing?
