Grimsby v Notts County Preview

The Opposition

Town move on from the controversy of Aldershot back home where they hope to record their first back to back home win of the season. A bumper crowd of over 5,500 is expected for the game which opened last year's campaign in which Ryan Bennett's bullet of a header wasn't enough to earn Town all 3 points on the sunny Saturday. This year both teams are massively underachieving. Still in the bottom half of the table the guys from Meadow Lane currently have 21 points The Pies waited till the very last game of September to record their first win and the slow start is still hurting those from Nottingham.

Notts County was formed in 1862. Notts County are the oldest of the world's professional association football clubs The Italian football club Juventus got its famous black-and-white striped kits from Notts County.

"It was bad: it was not until the final home game against Wycombe that we secured league football for another season. A change in management during the season gave the fans hope but yet again we had another relegation battle."

"Started with a loss at Bradford on the opening day but then we went on a good run of 11 games unbeaten in the league playing some fantastic football. But then teams worked out how to stop our wingers plus some players got injured and then the season has not been so good. 8 defeats in the last ten matches show how our form has turned upside down."

"If you're talking present squad it will have to be Myles Weston. He is a fast winger signed after playing on loan and this season he’s shown if he stays injury free he could be one Notts struggle to hold on to in the transfer windows."
