Artell: Draw was a fair result

GRIMSBY Town could not turn down a point at full-time, having come back from a dire early position away at Swindon Town, but David Artell still wants more.

Having come into the game on their longest winless run of the league campaign, the Mariners looked down and out 13 minutes in, as the hosts had scored their second of the afternoon.

They were both avoidable goals from set pieces, which drew out the anger of Artell, but he was pleased with the overall performance again, as his team responded well, particularly for the rest of the first half.

Goals from Kieran Green and Danny Rose brought Grimsby back level before the break, and they could have been ahead with the number of openings they had.

Swindon held on and came out with a better performance in the second half, missing some big chances in an end-to-end battle as they were forced to share the points.
