VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Grimsby Town joint-manager Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside:
"Credit to the players, we thoroughly deserved it although we made it hard for ourselves with the sending off.
"The lads have said it probably is a penalty but with the sending off, I'm not too sure.
"There seemed a lot of bodies around but it's one of those you have to live with."
