23 October 2002

Steve Kabba may wait until his three-month loan to the Mariners expires next month before deciding whether to stay with Town for the rest of the season. The tricky Crystal Palace forward, who seems to be improving with every game, has told the Grimsby Telegraph: "Everyone else seems to be wanting to rush it and get it done, but not me. I'm just taking my time and making my mind up." Eagles boss Trevor 'Slugger' Francis - amusingly overruled by his chairman over the extension of Kabba's loan - has told the player he would only be on the bench at Selhurst Park, which Kabba says is "no good" - but whether the young striker will seek first-team football at Blundell Park or elsewhere remains to be seen.
