18 September 2002

Paul Groves combines optimism and pragmatism in reflecting on last night's heartbreaking defeat at Sheffield United. "There are a lot of plusses performance-wise, the way the players stuck at the task, the work rate and the general play, but what have we come away with?" he said to the Grimsby Telegraph. "At the end of the day that is what it is all about. If you don't get the results you don't get the rewards."

The reserves beat Hartlepool reserves 1-0 at Blundell Park with a late winner from forgotten man Jonny Rowan.
