Having been a ref for 17 years , I thought Mr. Hicks was doing OK for the first 30 minutes and was absolutely dire for the next 80 plus minutes. In the process contributing to two Grimsby goals by ignoring blatant fouls and missing the Nemane penalty incident.
Not great for a county FA development officer. !
With regards to player ratings , I think that criticism of Scott Robertson was rather unjust and Stone despite being beaten 5 times ,saved 3 certain goals.
The fifth Grimsby goal was something special finding the only possible space to score.
Grimsby certainly knew how to play against a back 3 with quick , pacy , wide player receiving early crossfield passes and Rose being very energetic.
Definitely a game where skillful attacking players held the upper hand.
