We bring in 19 y/o MF/ST Bradley Robinson for a trial. Pacy but no stamina & limited skills. Maybe he'll surprise us but I'm not expecting a lot here.

Blyth (6-7-16, 22nd) vs Grimsby (15-6-8, 5th)

Quick turnaround against another top club. We managed a 2-2 draw on the road against them in early September, thanks to a goal by Mole and a late equalizer by Abraham. We did that with a 4-4-1-1, not sure whether to go back to that well again or not. We're 13:2 dogs at home today.

GK: Hartley
D: Slaughter, Antwi, Sawyer, Rowbotham
MF: Phillips, Wedderburn, White, Richards
AMC: O'Connor
ST: Lobjoit
Bench: (Sinclair, Bembo-Leyta, Clarke-Harris, Groves, Dovey)

Halftime: Blyth 1 - Grimsby 1
Wedderburn with a header from the corner by Phillips ... goal at 6:15
Attacking has worked thus far, 5-0 shots in the first 10'
Hearn hits the post, Banya pots the rebound at 25:30
Sawyer is taken down in the area, no call at 37'

Fulltime: Blyth 1 - Grimsby 1
Sub Bembo-Leyta 62' (for Lobjoit)
Sub Clarke-Harris 81' (for Richards)

A good performance overall, we just played a club from the higher end of the table quite even. If we had passed better (63%) might have created that one more chance we needed.

Hartley 6.7
Slaughter 7.1, Antwi 7.1, Sawyer 6.9, Rowbotham 6.9
Phillips 6.9 & 1 assist, Wedderburn 7.0 & 1 goal, White 6.9, Richards 6.8
O'Connor 6.8, Lobjoit 6.9
Subs: Bembo-Leta ('63 for Lobjoit) 6.8, Clarke-Harris (81' for Richards) N/A

Jan 29, 2013 (post-match)
A point is better than none. We're still 3 pts from safety and the clubs in front of us have 1 or more games in hand.
