This, they are on a good run, a real upturn in form, they will probably bring about 500+ and always get behind their fishy team.
Conceded 7 in those 5 games though so obviously not great at the back so could be ideal for us.

Absolutely, there SHOULD be goals, neither side have the best defensive record TBH. Grim have lost 5 games on their travels, the same number Swindon have. In the away game under the last manager they relied on HOOOOF to Hanson a lot, I haven't seen them much under the Bristol Mr Punch yet. His teams used to play on the deck a lot though. The Grim fans are very very confident on their forum that they can get a result on Saturday.

Confidence is one thing, turning up and doing another. We've dropped a couple of points in our last 10 home games. Bookies will have them 3-1 at best. If the boot was on the other foot I'd be worried.

I tend to ignore what their fans think as at the start of the season they reckoned they’d be pushing for automatic promotion. 3 of the games in their unbeaten sequence have been Morecambe, Stevenage and the Vegans so I think we may be overestimating them slightly. If we play our usual game we’ll be just fine.

My major concern is the wind will be a leveller if it is as forecast to be pretty windy again. The other thing is that Grimsby have only ever won at the County Ground 2 times in 23 matches with Swindon winning 15 of them. Although both those wins have come in the last 5 meetings since 2000.

Wasn’t it last season they were awarded that ridiculous penalty for a foul 5 yards outside the box?

No, the away game there was a penalty for handball that was outside of the area, by Preston.

Forecast says 17mph winds on Saturday, that’s nothing major.

Previous season - and there wasn’t even a foul!

Plymouth at Macclesfield tonight, a win by 5 goals or more would not be good for us. Come on Macclesfield.
