It’s back under the lights for the Dabbers on Tuesday night (7.45pm kick-off) as Matlock Town visit the Swansway Stadium as we look to build on the win over Atherton last weekend.
Up All Night to Mat-Locky
Matlock have lost 3 of their last 4 away games including against teams like Gainsborough and Lancaster. Overall, their record in their last 5 matches is exactly the same as the Dabbers, 7 points out of 15. At the weekend, they secured a crucial 1-0 win against fellow promotion chasers FC United. For now, they lie just 2 points outside the play-offs but with games in hand on the teams around them in 8th place.
Last Time Out
A Jamie Menagh penalty, won by debutant Curtis Morrison, gave the Dabbers the lead in Derbyshire in October, before Reece Kendall equalised early in the second half to split the points in a 1-1 draw. Highlights from the game are below.
Players to Watch
There’s been a bit of churn in the Matlock squad, with captain Ryan Qualter being poached last week by National League North high-flyers Scarborough, who also signed joint top-scorer Alex Wiles from Matlock in December. They’ve responded in recent days by bringing in Ethan Cartwright from Guiseley and Robbie McNicholas from Loughborough Dynamo, who both made their debut last weekend.
Their other joint top-scorer, John Johnston on 6 goals, got the most recent of those just last Saturday in that FC United win.
