We return to Blundell Park tomorrow afternoon as we continue our Sky Bet League Two campaign with a home clash against Barnet.
The Mariners head into the fixture in strong form, unbeaten in our last four matches, including an entertaining 3-2 victory over Weston-super-Mare in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup last time out. Confidence and momentum are building within David Artell’s side, who will be looking to carry that positivity into another competitive league encounter in front of the Blundell Park faithful.
With performances improving alongside results, Town will be aiming to maintain that upward trajectory and make home advantage count against a Barnet side that will pose a stern test.
Supporters can hear from the Head Coach ahead of kick-off by watching the full pre-match press conference below.
