Match

No end in sight to Grimsby Town's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Grimsby Town has to find a result from somewhere.

Nahuel Cáceres asks to leave Grimsby Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Michael Parker, 19, steals the show — 8.01

Marked 8.01 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Simon Harvey is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Words exchanged at Grimsby Town

Nahuel Cáceres and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief
