Brentford face a trip to Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Brentford inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Mighty Mariners in a League Two match.
