Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside:
"The lads looked confident. I asked them for a quick start and I think I got that. Although we ended up going a goal behind I thought we started the game well.
"I thought we kept the ball as well as probably we have done ever since I joined the football club and that's what I have been trying to get across. Tonight it all came together, other days it wont.
"I was pleased with the response after going 1-0 down despite that effort, but I think the quicker we got that goal the better for the team."
