Got back about 30 minutes ago and I must say that I was very pleased with today's performance. Although we were 1-0 down at half-time, we were by far the more dangerous team. We had a number of decent chances and quite a few unlucky incidents in the first half, and we were unfortunate to be behind at the break.

Second half saw us continue to build pressure and the two goals were well deserved. Grimsby came back into once they were behind, but apart from a brilliant Dunbavin save (low down to his left), they didn't create very much.

Although Richardson was caught on his heels for the Grimsby goal, he had a really good game at right-back, as did Edwards on the other side (yeah, it puzzled me bit too).
Webb and Roberts looked fairly composed in the middle, especially Roberts who won everything in the air. Webb is definitely not on loan from Ross County, but is on a 6 month contract that is due to expire next month. I really hope we keep hold of him, as he definitely has good positional sense and doesn't take chances.
As for Rocky, well he came on and played right-back in the last 25 minutes (or so) and to be honest looked ok. However, I'm really glad that Coleman has seen sense and made the change. Let's hope he stands by his convictions and allow Webb and Roberts to develop some kind of relationship.
