Tamworth v Grimsby Team News

MARCUS Marshall is set to make his Grimsby debut on Saturday against Tamworth, replacing the suspended Scott Neilson, who was sent off late in the 1-0 defeat to Macclesfield at the weekend. The on-loan Bury winger has signed on loan for a month to cover for Neilson.

23-year-old Marshall is known to the manager from his time at Rotherham, the club he joined Bury from.

Marshall is right-footed but has played on the left wing before.

Shaun Pearson is also suspended for the game at the Lamb Ground, so Town will be forced to make a defensive change. Ian Miller is the most likely to take Pearson's place.

Elsewhere in the team any other changes made would be tactical, which is not inconceivable give that Grimsby have lost two consecutive fixtures, both at home.

The Lambs are not expected to make any changes to their squad.

Both teams have chance to gain ground on the teams around them, most of whom are involved in the FA Cup. The only other league game taking place is Gateshead v Woking.
