Grimsby Town form and stats

Grimsby Town lost away at Swindon Town (0-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Swindon Town was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Grimsby Town goalkeeper Crocombe was happy for a super day at work against Swindon Town, but in spite of managing seven saves the defeat could not be helped.
Before that, the win at home hosting Burton Albion in the FA Cup (1-0).
