Line-up announced, and Read finally gets a chance to rest his injury, Samson on the bench and Goodwin starting, no sign of Mbick yet though. The big news I suppose is that both of the Flying Fin’s must have been signed in time and both start. Loving Lisbie and Edwards on the wings, just hope we’ve got someone in the middle to finish things off.

That's a shame - I'm surprised no one else has taken it up. On the edge of a large residential area and right next to the football ground, I'd have thought it would be a good prospect.
It was last time I went to Crewe, and I have photo of my youngest Alfie from many years ago enjoying battered sausage and chips stood outside. I might even pop in again tomorrow if I have time.
Paywall for the first link - what'd he say? As for Ronnie, and I've just posted this on the injury thread, I recall hearing earlier this month (or at least sometime after Xmas) he was carrying a minor injury? No idea what, but I would assume it's no longer an issue. I guess it'll be down to who Danny and Nicky think is most ready for a defensive midfield slot?
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Bishop is close to a return, and I hope Mbick's absence was more precautionary than anything else. Ronnie Harvey apparently had some form of minor injury following his recall from Chelmsford City, but I can't imagine it was anything serious.
Sadly, despite a commendable effort second half, we just couldn't get past a resolute and determined back line. Credit to Grimsby, they were as good as I was expecting with 11 on the pitch, and defended valiantly when they went down to ten. We should have at least equalised, but it shows how paper thin our squad is that if you lose too many key players, we just don't have that spark.
Well this as hard as we were expecting, it's going to be a huge effort to get into the game. I'm afraid I'm not convinced by Edwards and Goodwin at the moment, let's hope they prove me wrong second half.
Nice one ghughes, I don’t think you’ll be too far off with that line-up. I was looking at our form since the start of October - P16 W10 D4 L2, an average PPG of 2.125. It would be a tough ask to continue that for the 20 games of the season left, but on paper at least we’re currently on target for about 84 or 85 points. Doncaster won the league last season with 84 points.
Tonight is going to be a very tough game without a doubt, David Artell has got Grimsby into a fine run of form, so I’ll gladly take your 2-1 win, and tbh even accept the more likely 1-1 if it were offered.
I'm giving you that one, because the album/ film is chock-full of classics. In a similar vein, Tom Waits, with a voice only a bottle of bourbon and 40 coffin nails a day can magically create, with Kentucky Avenue - from the album Blue Valentine.
Nothing helps with the commute to the Cotswolds, it's a pretty inaccessible place for public transport or driving - I guess that's what contributes to its charm?
