Match Preview: Chasetown FC v Nantwich Town

By Liam Price

The Dabbers are travelling again on Tuesday night as this time Chasetown play hosts (7.45pm kick-off).

Chase-ing Cars

Chasetown are in strong form coming into this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 in all competitions and have lost just 1 of their last 8. That defeat was to Trafford FC a week and a half ago. This run has included knocking Hednesford out of the FA Trophy and wins over Avro, Widnes and Witton in the league.

They won again in the FA Trophy at the weekend, beating Bromsgrove Sporting 1-0 and booking a tie in the First Round proper at home against Belper Town. Those cup games mean they have played the joint fewest games in the league and sit 14th on 11 points from 7 matches. The form proves that this is a false position.

Last Time We Met

The Dabbers did the league double over Chasetown last season, the second of which was a comfortable in the end 3-0 win on the road in March. The deadly duo of Kai Evans and Byron Harrison (2) were the scorers. Highlights below.

Players to Watch

Chasetown’s clear top scorer is Jack Langston with 8 goals in 12 appearances from midfield. He’s scored in their last 2 games and recently surpassed 300 total appearances for the club, a level of commitment to a single club that is rare at this level and should be applauded.

Former Dabber Danny Glover leads the line for the home side and alongside Langston there are 3 other players who’ve played in all Chasetown’s games this season, in Kieran Fenton, Joseph Thompson and Sam Wilding.
