Squad

A fracture rules Reece Staunton out for 84 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Grimsby Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

8 saves: Louie Moulden was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Iwan Morgan scores twice — 8.82

Two goals and a mark of 8.82 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Bristol City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Grimsby Town did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

An offer of $120.0K for Marcus Bettinelli

Grimsby Town have gone to Manchester City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Player ratings

Trey Nyoni beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Grimsby Town

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match

Iwan Morgan sends Grimsby Town past Notts County

It finished 3‑1, and it was Iwan Morgan’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Grimsby Town.

Transfer targets

Grimsby Town rebuffed over Fran Vieites

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leicester City have kept their man, and Grimsby Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

In brief
