Sorry if this has been posted, had a look couldn't see anything.
GRIMSBY Town look set to be without a key duo for Saturday's game against Bristol Rovers at Blundell Park.
Striker Jon-Paul Pittman - who has netted six goals in 19 appearances - and former Bristol City man Scott Brown, are still injured and will not feature for the promotion-chasing side.
Paul Hurst's side currently sit fourth in the table with Darrell Clarke's Pirates just ahead of them in third.
The Mariners suffered a 2-1 loss to Forest Green last Saturday, with Town club captain Craig Disley saying the Rovers game is hugely important to his side.
He told the Grimsby Telegraph: “Getting beaten at Forest Green on Saturday was disappointing for us, so the Bristol game takes on more importance for our promotion aspirations.
“It’s a massive game for us, and it’s really one that we need to win, firstly to put a little bit of daylight between the teams below us as well.
“But if we still want to win the title, we need to win a lot of games between now and the end of the season.
“It’s an old cliché, but we need to take one game at a time – and that starts on Saturday.”
