Irrespective of the loss on Sunday, this would always have been a difficult match and I fear the worst whilst hoping for the opposite.

So I reckon 2-1 to them with our goal from Grant or May if he doesn't play or Rowe if neither do. 7000 the attendance.

Another 3-1 victory to the mighty Ziggers. Marquis first goal. Crowd 7432

2-1 victory for the Rovers, Williams to score if he starts or otherwise Rowe. Crowd 7245

Another 3-1win copps to score with crowd 7459

Rovers to win 2-0 Rowe to score crowd 7654

Sorry all. Didn't realise it was an early start. Withdraw my prediction.

Obviously missing someone today

1-5 Blimey!

Great result

What a result.
To be honest we were nowhere up to our best level but I think that a bumpy pitch contributed to that a bit.
McSheff had a nightmare first ten minutes but then settled in.
Grimsby made the better start to the game but when we clicked into gear around 15 minutes in we created three or four good chances and could have gone in front.
However the Grimsby player scored a good goal for them after a bit of a lucky break.
Three minutes later we were level when Williams held off a defender to allow Masons cross to reach Marquis who levelled it up.
A few minutes later Marquis headed home in fine style to put us ahead at the break.
I felt from then on that we would win the game and The hat trick goal was a joy to see.
Williams then showed terrific composure from a player supposedly suffering a confidence crisis to put the game beyond doubt.
Alfie claimed the fifth goal and his celebration gave me reason to believe he got a touch to it.

We played much better last week and lost, it shows how strange a game football can be.

The day was topped off for me by Plymouths defeat.

Thanks hound

How did mcullock perform please

Thanks Hound. Can Grant and McCullough fit into the same 11? What about Copps and McSheffery?

Paul Green was one of Oldham's best players out of a fairly mediocre bunch vs Southend yesterday, but I think investing in young talent was wise. He has lost some pace understandably.

Lanza, McCullough was very good and played the whole game.
He was solid in front of the back four and his distribution was faultless.

Don, we have a wealth of good midfielders right now.
Coppingers skills were missed yesterday(sorry Lanza) which was made to look worse by McSheffs bad first fifteen minutes when he constantly gave the ball away.
Also McSheff looked knacked after an hour.
The thing is, as it stands we have players on the bench who can change things if needed whereas too often in the past that hasn't been the case.

Thanks Hound as you know i have always rated mcullock even tho msny slaged him off
I could tell we missed 26. Xx.
Thanks again

Thanks. I see from the Plymouth media that they have collectively given up on the title now after last week's euphoria.

A worse psychological blow than our 5-1 in Cleethorpes in the early KO is difficult to think up.

Yes Don, i did say as we were on our way home that our convincing win would put added pressure on to Plymouth.

Lanza, there was a bloke a couple of rows back from me on Saturday who was slagging McCullough off all the way through the game.
