ON the back of a hugely demoralising home defeat, Grimsby Town face another tricky task this Saturday when they travel to face Peterborough.

After leaving Lincoln City, Keith Alexander (left) was appointed manager in the summer and last month Fry steeped aside as Chairman (becoming Director of Football), allowing Darragh MacAnthony to take over with plans to significantly invest in the club. The new chairman has already signalled his intentions and the club recently made an amazing £1million bid for MK Dons’ striker Izale McLeod, which was turned down by the player. The club then turned their attention to Swansea’s Leon Knight, but he has also rejected the move.
Ben Futcher (left) signed for Peterborough from Town in August after only 7 months at Blundell Park; but was injured almost straight away and has only been used as substitute in recent weeks. Ex-Lincoln striker and Town target Simon Yeo joined up with Alexander in the summer, but is out with a long-term injury, whilst Danny Crow has struggled to live up to last season’s 18-goal tally with only two so far this season. Liam Davis and Ben Turner, both on loan from Coventry, are also likely to feature.
