Grimsby Town v Gillingham preview: Manager John Coleman looks ahead to taking on David Artell’s side at Blundell Park in League Two

Manager John Coleman insists he’s “not going to be the same old, same old” after being tasked with turning Gillingham’s season around.

There’s still room for more additions as Coleman looks to make the most of the remaining week that’s left in the winter transfer window.

He said: “We've
