Grimsby v Watford Preview - Blundell Park - ko 15-00
Grimsby v
Watford at Blundell Park ko - 15-00 Grimsby Grimsby player-boss Paul
Groves will have been boosted by the 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest as his
side go into what surely is a must win game against Watford. Richard Hughes is
doubtful with a knee injury and Michael Boulding definitely misses out with an
ankle problem as The Mariners look to climb off the bottom of the table. Watford Watford boss Ray Lewington has
a tough job of focussing his players minds on the league as his side make the
trip North to take on relegation threatened Grimsby at Blundell Park. Despite
giving his players a couple of days off, all the talk around the club has been
of the upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Southampton. Despite slipping
down the table in recent weeks The Hornets will still feel they have an outside
chance of reaching the playoffs and only Allan Neilsen is missing from the squad
ahead of the trip. Head To
