After the long trip up to Grimsby on Saturday, we now have a run of three consecutive home games on the hallowed turf. It's hard to conceive that, even when it was at its worst a couple of years, the pitch at Roots could be in a worse condition than the ploughed field of Blundell Park. One would hope that the playing surface would benefit some of the skilful ball players that we now have in our ranks - of course it could also suit the visitors who are occupying the last of the automatic promotion places and whose form over their last six matches is only slightly worse than ours (theirs is W3 D1 L2, ours is W3 D2 L1).
This is probably likely to be the toughest of this run of three home games - especially following immediately after a long journey and energy sapping pitch in North East Lincolnshire, and to be honest I'd probably take a draw in this one.
With regards to team news, Olayinka's injury looked bad enough to at least keep him out tomorrow night. It sounds like Greg Halford, who returns from suspension, is likely to sign a contract until the end of the season. Therefore I'm expecting a similar squad, if not starting XI to Saturday. So who would you pick, and what do you think the score will be?
