Grimsby v Shrewsbury Preview

The Opposition

Their home form is nothing more than awe inspiring, their one defeat at home coming against last week's conquerors of all things black and white Port Vale and that was a last minute goal. Alas away from Shrewsbury the Shrews have only 3 points more then ourselves, then again they have an away score of -1 while we have one of -14. Let's just take the positives eh? Last year the blokes from Shropshire finished a lowly 19th and whatever way you look at it that was crap not just counting this year's current success. The year prior they were fighting it out in the play-off finals but we will let them count it as a Wembley hangover. THIS DOES NOT COUNT FOR US IT WAS HARDLY FOR LEAGUE STATUS! Since their defeat at Blyth Spartans "snigger" in the FA Cup Shrewsbury are undefeated two draws away from home, one against the red and white of those lot who get drunk at the Bradford and against those who cheered when Lester scored a cheating goal during midweek. While they won both home games against Dags and Red and Rotherham. One of the biggest worries of playing Shrewsbury this season is not only been outplayed and beaten but also to be on the end of these monumental hammerings they dish out almost at random so far they have beaten Macclesfield 4-0, Gillingham 7-0, Wycombe 7-0 and Dag Red 5-0! Which equates to nearly the double the amount of goals we have scored all season in the league!
