The Table |

Man City move up into 4th spot after their convincing win over Sheff Wed at Hillsborough. City's away games prove very eventful, having scored 13 goals but conceded 14 in just 5 away matches. Yesterday's victory consisted of eight. Portsmouth and Grimsby sit in 5th and 6th position respectively, and just behind them on 14 points are Bradford who also have a game in hand. Since beginning the season so poorly, West Brom have now moved up to 8th but lost yesterday at home to Wimbledon.The Dons won 4-0 at Crewe in midweek and are showing some inspiring away form.
Walsall, Stockport and Rotherham occupy the bottom three places; with the bottom two teams still searching for the elusive first win of the season.

Town's Next Opponents |
Tuesday night sees the visit of Gillingham to Blundell Park. The Gills started the season with a 5-0 win over last year's play-off final losers Preston, and continued that form with a 3-0 home win over Barnsley. But defeats to West Brom, Portsmouth, Bradford and Wolves meant that the Kent club were toppled off the top of the table and they currently lie in 15th place. Gillingham will enter the match on winning form after seeing off the challenge of Rotherham 2-1. However, they still await their first away victory of the season. Grimsby are currently unbeaten at home in 6 matches but football's a "funny old game".

Path for Grimsby |
Following the midweek match against Gillingham is a trip to Yorkshire to face Bradford. The next Friday sees Yorkshire come to Grimsby in the shape of Rotherham. The Worthington Cup third round match at Liverpool is on Tuesday 9 October, with another trip to Yorkshire on the Saturday to face Sheff Utd. Then the Mariners are given a whole week's rest before they play Watford at home. Full Fixture List.
