The Dabbers come into another significant game this Saturday (3pm kick-off) as we make the long trip to Morpeth Town looking to right the wrongs of the last 2 matches.
When Two Tribes go to Mor
Morpeth have 3 wins and 4 defeats out of their last 7 league games. Like the Dabbers, they have recorded positive results against Atherton and Whitby in recent weeks, but also like the Dabbers they disappointed against Liversedge, slumping to a 2-0 defeat at home last Saturday.
Their home form this season would have them solidly in mid-table, but overall they are 18th, just a place and 2 points better off than the Dabbers, with 2 games in hand.
Last Time Out
The home game against Morpeth in November was arguably the Dabbers’ most complete 90-minute performance of the season, a superb 3-0 win thanks to goals from Byron Harrison, Dan Cockerline and Mo Malumo. Highlights below.
And let’s not forget the last away trip to Craik Park, a vital 2-1 win last year thanks to 2 goals from Cockerline that kick-started the run that pulled the Dabbers away from danger. A repeat of that would be very welcome.
Players to Watch
Connor Thomson is Morpeth’s top scorer on 7, but Andrew Johnson has 3 in his last 3 games so represents their most in-form forward player.
At the back, they have recently recruited Sunderland youth player Connor Pye on loan to strengthen their defence, he made his debut in that defeat to Liversedge in midweek.
