The Dabbers are in action at home again on Tuesday night (7.45pm kick-off), with the rearranged fixture against FC United of Manchester. With their supporters always travelling well, it should be a great night under the lights.
It’s fun to stay at the FCUM
FC United have lost 2 of their last 6 matches, and both of those have been away from home, at Stafford and Radcliffe both by 1-0 scorelines. At home they have been much more solid, unbeaten in 4. They did not play at the weekend with their match at South Shields falling foul of the weather.
It’s worth mentioning their last 2 matches, a thrilling 2-2 draw with Whitby was then trumped just a week later by an extraordinary 4-4 at home with Hyde, a game that was 3-3 by half-time.
They lie 8th in the table, 5 points off the play-offs.
Last Time Out
Those draws are in stark contrast to the Dabbers’ trip to Broadhurst Park in August, a pretty drab 0-0 draw. Notable from that game was the debut of Perry Bircumshaw, who has since become a stalwart in the Nantwich team. Highlights from that game are below.
Players to Watch
If it wasn’t for a certain Norwegian in sky blue, Regan Linney would be the top goalscorer in the Greater Manchester area. He tops the charts in the Northern Premier League on 18 goals, a great total that surprisingly he didn’t add to in that 4-4 with Hyde. As a team, they are third top scorers in the league, so to focus on Linney would be short-sighted.
For example, Charlie Ennis has been on target 4 times in his last 4 matches, and all of them from the penalty spot.
