Grimsby Town form and stats

5-1-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Grimsby Town in their League Two matches away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Grimsby Town's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Grimsby Town had fun at their own home (CNG Stadium) last time out, beating Tranmere Rovers 2-1. Maher and Kiernan scored. Hooray; their first victory in the league after six rounds not winning. McAtee, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.03. McAtee served one assist and hit three key passes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against AFC Wimbledon wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A new game in only three days for Grimsby, the League Two home match versus Salford City. Busy days.

Grimsby Town have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 11 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).
