Vital Grimsby Says:

After the disappointing draw this past Saturday Grimsby will be looking to grab all 3 points at Exeter. With Port Vale on the minds of Exeter will it distract them from the task in hand? Will they think Grimsby being statistically bottom of the table be an easy 3 points, we hope so and hope Grimsby take advantage.

Grimsby Town Team News:

Grimsby Town are expected to name an unchanged side that drew with table topping Wycombe last time out, with Peter Bore again been given a chance to shine.

Player to watch: Nathan Jarman

With the rest of the time again trying to impress new boss Newell, we believe it will Jarmo who looks set to shine.
