Overview
- Grimsby beat Cambridge United 2-1 on Tuesday as Cameron McJannet scored four minutes into stoppage time to reclaim seventh place by a point over Chesterfield.
- Cambridge had the best defensive record in the English Football League and only one prior home loss at The Abbey, which makes Grimsby’s away win stand out.
- Two matches remain for the Mariners, with sixth-placed Swindon next at Blundell Park, and a higher finish remains possible.
- The result followed Saturday’s 4-1 win at Gillingham, which rebuilt momentum after a midweek defeat at Chesterfield.
- Squad depth remains a concern, with Doug Tharme, Sam Lavelle, and Cameron Gardner out for the season and several others facing uncertain return dates.
