MARINERS fans will have been delighted to see promotion rivals Luton Town drop a couple of points at Telford last night.

The Hatters could have moved back into the Blue Square Bet Premier play-off places with victory.

And, with another game in hand on Town, the pre-season title favourites may have been as little as two points behind in due course.

However, the Bucks held firm on home turf, and did the Mariners and the rest of the top-six a big favour.

To add a little further cheer, 'ambitious' former Town loanee Scott Neilson was substituted with 15 minutes remaining.

    “Agree with above comments on here,we must go to Braintree fired up.......if we can get on a good run of form we can achieve our aim.There are teams now tredding on our heels and the players must relise this and get stuck into the promotional battle,we are 3rd from top we must keep within this position and not drop any further.Keep up the good work lads and keep focused,good luck in front of the cameras at Braintree and bring home the 3pts prize.Utmm.”

    “Last night I watched Braintree went they beat us 5-0 in 2011 (I think the last time we went there)
    Let the players watch this to gee them up. At the time I posted on Face Book that I would not blame John Fenty if he called it a day with Town.

    ps I had to smile when Neilson was substituted by ambitous Luton.”
