Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Chizzy Ezenwata at 18 — 7.72

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Chizzy Ezenwata did not need any: 7.72, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Jonatan Reis in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Grimsby Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Christy Pym

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Darragh Burns at his very best

Marked 8.10. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Grimsby Town.

Match

Grimsby Town share the spoils with Cambridge United

A 2‑2 draw with Cambridge United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Will Merry stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Will Merry and Grimsby Town agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Grimsby Town sign Will Merry, one for the future

Will Merry is 20, and Grimsby Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Géza Dávid Turi's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings

Tyrell Sellars-Fleming runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief
