Barrow Preview – Bluebirds to pick up fifth successive victory?
Barrow have picked up ten wins, eight draws and suffered 16 defeats since earning promotion to League Two as National League champions. The Bluebirds are in 21st spot at the time of writing, seven points above 23rd-place Southend United.
Barrow have been in brilliant form of late, winning four in a row since back-to-back losses to Bolton Wanderers and Harrogate Town. In recent weeks, the Bluebirds have beaten Mansfield Town, Walsall, Cheltenham Town and Crawley Town, scoring eight and shipping two. As a result, the Cumbrian outfit have lifted themselves clear of the bottom two.
Caretaker boss Rob Kelly is doing a fine job at Holker Street, and the Bluebirds will be hoping to make it five wins in a row on Tuesday. The bookies have the home win priced at 10/11.
Grimsby Town Preview – Mariners to slip closer to the drop?
Grimsby Town, who finished mid-table last term, have had a miserable season in League Two thus far. They started poorly under the experienced Ian Holloway, and Paul Hurst has yet to ignite Town’s survival bid.
The Mariners are rock bottom of the Football League, collecting a mere 28 points this season. After 35 games played, Grimsby have won six, lost 19 and drawn ten. They have shipped 54 goals and scored just 26 along the way.
