Diary - Saturday 11 October 2003

11 October 2003

"Two slack moments of defending cost Grimsby after being the better side in the first half" is the verdict of Radio Five Live on Town's visit to Brighton this afternoon. As expected, Iain Anderson returns to the starting line-up after his medium-term absence through injury while Jason Crowe switches to left-back to replace Wales victim Darren Barnard. But after a Zesh Rehman strike on 53 minutes, followed almost immediately by a short-range volley by the prolific Leon Knight, the Mariners were never in it; and Knight completes a 3-0 rout with a last-minute penalty conceded by substitute Greg Young. Yawnorama city. Town have now conceded 22 league goals in their 13 games and have scored only once in their last four.

Down in the third, 10-man Lincoln win away at Scunthorpe by three goals to one; while ambitious pacesetters Hull City have no game, trying to make people think they're really cool because they must have international call-ups, when in actual fact they've just switched their match to tomorrow afternoon.

Speaking of which, the Diary has an international call-up to the pub. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
