Review:
Matthieu Louis-Jean came on for Kevin Dawson at half-time, but then Dave Beasant was sent off for handling the ball outside of his area with 20 minutes to go, so back off went Matthieu Louis-Jean to be replaced by Mark Crossley. We finished the game with 9 men as Jon Olav Hjelde had already been dismissed five minutes before Beasant for a foul that gave Grimsby their penalty.
