SLADE FEELS THE NOISE

CHESTERFIELD 1 Dennis 82 GRIMSBY 3 Clarke 33, Jones 39, Davies 85 pen

BOSS Russell Slade reckons the Mariners’ mighty away following made them feel at home as they won on their opener on the road.

Breakaway first-half goals from Nathan Clarke and Sam Jones gave the travelling army plenty to shout about, before Ben Davies wrapped up the points with a late penalty. “To be honest it was like playing at home,” said Slade.

Kristian Dennis hit back for the Spireites, before Ian Evatt and Grimsby’s Zac Mills saw red.

Chesterfield boss Gary Caldwell said: “We impressed for large periods but we were far too open and got caught on the counter.”
