The Mariners
have now acquired that all obscure foremost league victory that
they so badly needed and look to improve on this with a win over
Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday night. Town's recent form against
the Trotters has much to be desired, but our lads always rise
to the occasion. The team is up for this one and ready to get
the black & white people eater into gear...
Town's
stalwart Steve Livingstone scored in just 66 seconds to give the
boys their first win of the season against Gillingham at Blundell
Park on Saturday. Livingstone elevated John McDermott's cross
over, an advancing, Vince Bartram to score the only goal of the
game, concluding a 16 match run devoid of a win for the Mariners.
But Gillingham,
who collected their first win of the season last weekend, went
on to dictate much of the game, apart from the last 15 minutes
were town looked like a team, and will wonder how they weren't
successful in at least taking a point from this encounter.

Bolton
Wanderers; the proverbial power house are already showing the
signs, even at this stage of the season, of championship form.
The
Trotters manager Sam Allardyce must be grinning all over after
picking up another three points at Huddersfield last saturday.
Super sub Michael Ricketts produced two second half goals to vanquish
their Yorkshire neighbours in a five goal thriller at the McAlpine
stadium.
It was unlucky
for the Terriers in this Wars of the Roses clash with them enjoying
the better of the first half chances and really could have gone
into the break ahead. All that turned around during the second
half, not least once the Wanderers boss had chucked Ricketts into
the fray.
