Grimsby Town claim their first win of the season after beating Cheltenham 3-1 last night at Whaddon Road
A night to remember saw the Mariners finally break their duck and score their first league goals of the season, with three new names on the scoresheet
Owura Edwards, James Tilley and Owen Windsor all got it wrong and sent Town back to three long-awaited points in the process
James Findlater shares his Cheltenham player ratings, and you can have your say and see below who the fans voted as their star man…
James McKeown: He looked a bit rusty at first, but he made an incredible save at a crucial time to earn his three points alongside him Captain Fantastic 8/10
Ludvig Öhman: Put his body on the line as always, even if it meant getting an influence from one of his own teammates Helped to keep things tight, which was no easy task against a side in 8/10 shape
Luke Waterfall: His mistake that led Cheltenham to equalize in the end didn’t prove to be too costly.Otherwise, another solid performance from the former Lincoln man 7/10
Mattie Pollock: solid He’s got a head when he needed it, timed every tackle – except for a slightly awkward one halfway through – to perfection, and continues to watch every inch like an 8/10 senior pro
Luke Hendrie: outstanding on the right side Superbly linked with Tilley and Edwards, and performed his defensive duties with aplomb 8/10
Harry Clifton: The usual energetic display in midfield, and he didn’t give Cheltenham a moment of peace as he stalked the ball alongside his new center partner 8/10
James Morton: solid start from Bristol City man Squeezed and harassed opponents, and turns things right in somewhat frenetic game 7/10
Danny Preston: Another reliable performance on the left from a player who establishes himself as a consistent artist A nice trait to have as a defender 7/10
James Tilley: The first half saw him produce perhaps his best 45 minutes since joining the Mariners in January Posed a constant threat and got his first goal for Town – although with a big helping hand from the goalkeeper 8/10
Montel Gibson: It really wasn’t his day Could – and probably should have – hit a hat-trick, as he turned down a few golden opportunities Encouraging signs in construction, but has to work on that final product 6/10
Owura Edwards: Cheltenham full-backs won’t want to see him in a hurry again He picked up where he left off in Bolton, made defenders tremble with his pace and trickery, and shot home a great first goal for the club Exceptional performance 9/10 (STAR MAN)
Owen Windsor (Gibson 64): Once again held up well to the rigors of Ligue 2 football, and secured three points with his first goal for the club 7/10
Duncan Idehen (Öhman 76): called upon to replace a groggy Öhman, and bar a slightly nervous moment with a back pass, nicely inserted 6/10
James Hanson (Tilley 79): A cameo from the great leader, and it’s great to see him in good shape
