Walsall Preview

The Bottom Line

Things are hotting up in the division one basement battle. Just as it seemed that Town were dead and buried just six games ago, an amazing change around in form has seen them within touching distance of safety. However, a resurgent Walsall side under Colin Lee will want victory just as much as Town, and they will not be easy to beat, despite their precarious league position.

If Town loose this match, some would argue that all Town's hopes of avoiding the drop would be over. But a win would see them climb out of the relegation zone and see Walsall move five points behind the Mariners. Another committed team performance and noisy crowd is needed to make it four wins out of four at Blundell Park.

Last Time Out

The last time Town played Walsall was a day to forget for all Mariners fans. A 4-0 win for Walsall, their biggest win to date, plunged Town deeper into relegation trouble, and just over a week later Town sacked their manager, Lennie Lawrence. The win came on the 15th December 2001 in front of just over 5,000 fans. Since then both teams have been stuck in the relegation zone, and both have appointed new managers in Colin Lee and Paul Groves.

Grimsby: Coyne, Neilsen, Gallimore, Raven, Groves, Coldicott, Willems, Boulding, Butterfield, Jevons, Jeffrey.
Subs: Burnett, Thompson, Chapman, Smith, Croudson.  Report

Walsall Head-to-Head (66th on The Opposition Ladder).

Fishy Prediction

This is another "must win" game for Town, and if you go by the form book Town will win. However, as we all know football is a funny old game, but despite this Town will still win (I hope!)
