I think a spell in midfield with brother John would suit Paul Mullin, he has been a great servant to the club but I amongst others think he has lost his touch up front. Jimmy Ryan for me was a sensation and Cav played well, but how that referee missed so many fouls by Grimsby players is beyond me. I haven't a clue what he and his assistants were watching, but it wasn't this match. Lets hope this win instills some confidence for the match against 'Dale next Saturday, because it didn't instill much confidence in me.

Must agree with you Ozzy. Whilst it was 3 points, at times Grimsby were playing us off the park - a point that was not just my opinion but that of 1 or 2 in the Clayton End - but it was 3 points and we must be thankful for that and build on that hopefully!
