We return to Blundell Park this evening for the second of our four festive fixtures, as the Mariners host Shrewsbury Town in Sky Bet League Two.
David Artell’s side come into the contest looking to build on the Boxing Day point against Oldham Athletic, a match in which Town were unfortunate not to take all three points. With performances showing encouraging signs, the focus now is firmly on turning those displays into a much-awaited league victory.
In the midst of a demanding festive schedule and playing our second game in three days, a positive result would provide a timely boost and valuable momentum as we continue through the holiday period.
Supporters can hear from the Head Coach ahead of kick-off by watching the full post-match press conference from Oldham below:
