VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Grimsby joint manager Rob Scott told BBC Radio Humberside:
"I thought we were really at it from minute one today which was great to see. Once the first goal went in we looked a threat every time we went forward.
"We've got a quick turnaround now but we have to be at the same levels on Monday.
"We've had a couple of illnesses in the camp over the last week so we'll have to assess things and see where we are in terms of energy levels."
