Match Preview: Grimsby Town (A)

The key info ahead of our trip to Blundell Park

March 2nd 2024FGR Media

Blundell Park awaits as Rovers make the long trip to face Grimsby Town on Saturday. Steve Cotterill's side are looking to carry on the momentum they have built over the last seven days, with Rovers claiming impressive results against Tranmere Rovers and Wrexham at The New Lawn.

Back on the road this weekend, here's everything FGR fans need to know ahead of the clash in North East Lincolnshire.

WHAT WE SAID

"Grimsby have had some changes throughout the year. Not quite as many as we've had, but they've had some changes," said Cotterill.

Evening, Gaffer!

"They're probably still getting used to how David Artell wants them to play. They're dangerous. We need to make sure we perform to our absolute maximum up there."

Watch the gaffer's full pre-match interview, here.

WHAT THEY SAID

"We need to focus on ourselves," said Grimsby boss David Artell. "Our underlying performances have been good and we deserve more points, but ultimately it's about results and I understand that.

"If we keep progressing and believing, then I know we'll be fine. It's about us and it's always been about us. It's a big game, but it won't define our season as we have another 13 or 14 games left."

TEAM NEWS

The gaffer confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Jacob Maddox could feature in the squad after recovering from a long-term hamstring injury.

Maddox has travelled with the team to Grimsby, but a decision will be made as to whether he's among the 18-man playing squad.

MADDOX

However, Cotterill doesn't expect any of the other injured players to return to the side on Saturday.
