A chance to turn things round quickly after the weekend disappointment in the NE. The hosts have gone off the boil a little recently,after a bright start, but still in 4th. Manager John Askey had to pretty well build a squad from scratch over the summer...makes you wonder if squad continuity is all it's cracked up to be. Key players are probably midfield stalwart Whitaker and Durrell who was surprisingly released by Chester.
Connor Jennings returns from suspension, both he and Norburn will be facing a former club, if selected. Ridehalgh is an injury doubt. If Liam's unfit, wonder if Buxton will stay at left back, or will Micky bring in Eddie Clarke. If Buxton stays on the left, it wouldn't be a total surprise to see Sutton shunted out to right-back and another chance for McEveley, though that is not a course of action meeting with my approval. Further forward, hope that there is no thought of the 1 up approach we took at Aldershot. I think Connor J should come in for Cole, who did not turn in the most committed of performances at Gateshead, while it would not be a surprise for McDonough to replace Cook again, although Norwood's also looking in need of a rest.
Prediction: A slightly below par attendance at the weekend and I can't see more than 300 making the trip to the Moss Rose. Think this one will end in a draw.
