Great double save by Mitchell

First he keeps out a long-distance strike that almost creeps past everyone and into the back of the net, then he gets his fingertips to a wicked strike from the edge of the box to tip it onto the bar.

And that’s full-time. Rovers win 3-1 thanks to a brace from George Miller and Harrison Biggins’s half-volley. All in all a very good afternoon’s work.

He replaces Luke Molyneux.

Kyle Hurst is off for Aidan Barlow.

GOAL - Grimsby pull one back

James McAtee fires the ball past Jonathan Mitchell from inside the box after beating a couple of challenges. Good finish.

Hurst sees an effort block

A nice run sees him take a shot at goal, which smacks Grimsby defender Andy Smith in the face. Takes it well, to his credit.

Double switch for Rovers

Harrison Biggins makes way for Adam Clayton.

More great play from Biggins, Knoyle and Miller results in the latter getting a shot off from close range that has the keeper scrambling but it’s blocked.

Molyneux then makes another good run before being denied in the box by a block. Still 20 to go. Comfortably the best performance of the season so far.

Amazing run from Kyle Knoyle who finds Miller over the top. One touch and he puts it through the keeper’s legs. Awesome.

Lewis Richardson replaces Alex Hunt, Keyendrah Symmonds is on for Brendan Kiernan and James McAtee comes on for Otis Khan.

Huge reception for McAtee upon his return from injury.
