I see that Grimsby have won all 5 of their home games so far this season ... however, they have a relatively poor away record having won only one of their games on the road.
Same result as us at Torquay, two draws (Maidenhead and Stockport), and a 3-1 defeat at Bromley. They also don't have a great record against us historically. We can and should win this.
Crikey, there's far too much confidence flowing round here at the moment!
We're bound to have our 'down to Earth' moment soon, so I'm going for a 0-3 reverse just to restore some equilibrium.
I remember after Sheik Mansour took over at City, he said he wanted to get away from the "typical City" mentality. Of course we could get well beat against a strong Grimsby side, but at the moment, it genuinely wouldn't be a surprise if we won. This is the best situation we have been both on and off the pitch since 1995, indeed we are better off in some ways, and it is a great credit to the management and board for getting us to this position. No two ways about it, we're getting better crowds than Dagenham and Redbridge (who were in the FL for several years). No reason why we can't do something special this season with the squad we now have and Parky being full time, especially if we have a bit better luck with injuries this time.
