Attendance: 3862 (141 away fans)

Sponsors' man of the match: Luke Hendrie

The son of a famous father fired up the Findus with free-wheeling fist pumping and was rewarded with pink champagne on ice.

Cod Almighty man of the match: Wes Thomas

The Hess is an omnipresent omnivore but let's tip a hat to the lone gunman, Wes Thomas, for running around on his own unto the very, very end of the road.

Our gaffer says

Young Mr Jolley was jolly pleased with year 4's project work. They've all done very well and they'll all get some merit points to go towards their key stage 6 personal development portfolio:

"...the way we worked, the way we defended, the way we stuck in there and fought to get the three points, I thought it was tremendous, so well done to all the players – I thought it was a great effort!"

More on this

Their gaffer says

Let us not give the oxygen of publicity to football felons.

Us

There is a heartbeat, it's alive!

Organised, disciplined and hearty in repelling stuttering, strutting candyfloss.

Until the defenestration of Davis, Town were quite comfortable in their new shoes, if not particularly adventurous, with only a couple of awkward little rubs on the big toe. These shoes may be fit for special occasions, but we'll need to wear them in a little more to see if they stand up to everyday use.

Ah yes, one thing for the Jolleyman to input into this week's homework: Saturday afternoon wrestling belongs in the archives; our centre-backs don't need to recreate it to bring back the old-time magic.

There is progress in this artwork. Can you see what it is yet?

Them

Just rubbish.

Grimsby 'til I die... or cry?

Concerned, contemplative and finally aroused to carouse the combative collective.

Official warning

Mr P Marsden (Lancs)

A pattern is emerging and it ain't pretty.

This preening pastel peeper had crunched the data over his croissants and pre-conceived his notions about monochrome motions. Yep, another who chose to interpret remarkably similar incidents differently depending on the colour of the sock.

He applied criminal sanctions for civil offences and needs retraining, if not being removed from the bench, for unconscious bias in sentencing.

Egregious berkery: 4.094.

Readers' digest

Good triumphed over weevils.
