ACCRINGTON Stanley saw their good run of form come to an end after they suffered a home defeat against Grimsby Town.

“We break with a great move and are clean through, but their goalkeeper makes a good save and then we miss a sitter from the corner.

There is a fine line between winning and losing, and I don’t think either side could have complained to win, lose or draw.”
