THE U'S DID NOT BULLY US

TOWN'S ARTELL HITS BACK AT SUGGESTIONS ON COLCHESTER TACTICS

- By SAM ALLEN

DAVID Artell refuted the claim that Grimsby Town were "bullied" by Colchester United in their home defeat at the weekend.

The Mariners boss felt it was more about what his team did not do after halftime, rather than whatever the opposition might have enforced upon them as the away side came from behind to win.

The Town players have mostly received praise from their head coach after games this season, and deservedly so, as there have been very few occasions where they have strayed from what has made them a good team.

However, Artell felt that was what they did on Saturday, which ultimately led to their downfall against a club who know how to come and get a result at Blundell Park, having now won on their last four visits.
