Anybody who follows the Sky Blues will be able to recall several occasions where we have tripped up on proverbial ‘banana skins’ at pivotal moments in the season. With four former City players on Grimsby Town’s books as well, it had the potential to be a frustrating game afternoon at the Ricoh Arena.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case and Peter Vincenti’s first-half strike set us well on the way to our biggest victory of the season so far. Marc McNulty then popped up with a hat-trick to take him to 21 goals in all competitions – a very healthy return for a man who came under some scrutiny during the early stages.
