Another tough and long away trip this week against Hargreaves home town club who had a short local Derby midweek! Thankfully, I think that the squad travel up on Friday!
Grimsby are a side that seem to struggle for consistency. Starting the season with three straight draws, including Bristol Rovers and Nuneaton they then walloped Gateshead 1-6 away and then Alfreton 7-0 at home.However, this did not kick start their season as a standard 2-0 home win against Welling was sandwiched by two narrow defeats away at Aldershot and Lincoln with the latter just coming on Tuesday!
So, Grimsby remain unbeaten at home and will be looking to extend that run. They have plenty of goals with Neilson and Pittman leading with 4 goals and John Lewis with 3! Pittman incidentally was released by Wycombe this summer.
Despite the travelling, Torquay was be in high spirits and full of confidence and I think it will be an unchanged line up. Nice to see Bowman score again and with an established strike partner, they generally hunt well in pairs! I think both Cameron and Briscoe are close to fitness but remains to be seen as to whether they travel. Another good day for the defence on Tuesday but this free scoring side should really test their mettle! I will settle for any return prior to two important home games next week.
