North End were 3-1 down with seven minutes to go when Grimsby conceded a penalty and had defender Simon Ford sent off.

Graham Alexander scored from the spot kick and Dickson Etuhu snatched the equaliser with two minutes left.

"We gave away two soft goals and we were 2-0 down when we should have been 3-0 up," said Brown.

"Ricardo Fuller could have had a hat trick."

"We seem to have to be in adversity before we give of our best.

"We are a fit side and we always seem to score the last goal.

"I am still looking towards the play-offs, I am looking up if we can cut out the careless mistakes."
