4 October 2002

According to the Grimsby Telegraph, Terry Cooke will return to the starting line-up tomorrow as Darren Barnard moves into defence to cover for the suspended Tony Gallimore. Player-manager Paul Groves will miss out due to injury, as may Steve Chettle. Paul Raven and Simon Ford forming the centre of defence is a strong possibility. Steve Kabba, Stacy Coldicott and Shaun Allaway are all expected to recover from injuries in time to make the squad.

Bloodcurdling midfield maniac Georges Santos has decided to put club before country. "I said to the [Cape Verde] manager I'm not coming because of my situation." Doesn't Pele advertise something that might help him with that?

Teamtalk reports that Steve Kabba has been informed by Crystal Palace that he will be required back at Selhurst Park when his loan to the Mariners ends next month. But, y'know, it's Teamtalk.
