Our Fishy Friends

Today was one of Grimsby's easier remaining fixtures. Let's have a look at the old scoreboard:

17. Harrogate P40 Pts49 (GD -5)
18. Scunthorpe P39 Pts47 (GD -9)
19. Mansfield P41 Pts46 (GD -6)
20. Walsall P40 Pts46 (GD -6)
21. Barrow P39 Pts43 (GD -3)
22. Colchester P41 Pts41 (GD -20)
--------------------------------------
23. Southend P41 Pts37 (GD -29)
SCREWED Grimsby P40 Pts34 (GD -28)

The surprising thing about that table is the goal differences - only the bottom three are notably poor. The rest are remarkably good for teams near the bottom.
 
Colchester have five games to get the one win that would require Gy. to win four of their last six or alternatively win three and two draws.

Colchester's next two matches are at home v Walsall and Southend, which present their best opportunities before a final three very tough games.

Watch this space, it's about to get very interesting. With a fair wind and a bit of fight from The U's, we could see the cod as good as down in a fortnights time.
