After the importance of last weekends game in the cup we find ourselves back to league matters this Saturday and a crunch match against 16th placed Harrogate. We’ve played them 5 times at home in recent years winning on every occasion.
With no loss in the league now for some 6 weeks there’s been an upturn in form, though with numerous draws in November we really need to start picking up wins - I’d like to think one will come against the Sulphurites before tougher looking assignments through the rest of the month.
Hopefully the group have had a good week of training and some of the injuries in the squad are starting to ease.

Harrogate are the only club against whom we have a 100% league record (four wins out of four) since joining the EFL. We also knocked them out of the Papa John's Trophy two seasons ago. But if we've not got any of our injured players back then that record could be severely tested on Saturday. Harrogate do have a few players of their own out injured.
Forest Green, just one point above us in the table, are home to Wrexham. If we better their result then we'd go ahead of them. The three clubs immediately above FGR are also at home on Saturday with Grimsby having the toughest fixture; they host Crewe.

Depends on who is fit for us. We got away with it last Saturday as our midfield dominated, but it won't be as easy tomorrow. We will need at least Kizzy and Omar fit in the Centre to hold our own. Hopefully, John, Omar and Ryan are all fit. Matt did not fill me with confidence i his interview regarding how many fit players we have. If we can put out a fit side then Like with most of our games at the moment, I am confident we will compete and could get something, But I find it hard to predict a win, let's hope we can.

As you can imagine Matt doesn't want to give away too much in his interviews. I find it frustrating, but its best he keeps some news on injuries to himself and the team.

I agree Matt should keep the bad news away from the opponents but abcence of any good news is a worry.

Rather it was postponed to protect the pitch and get some players back for the rescheduled game.
