Form Guide
James Rowe’s side have suffered two defeats in their last five games. However, the Technique Stadium has been turned into a fortress as the Blues have won their last six league games at home.
The Amber and Chocolates have not lost in the league since January 30 when they lost 1-0 to Hartlepool United. Since then, they have gone eight games unbeaten with seven wins.
Team News
Curtis Weston is available for selection again after he missed the Maidenhead United game due to suspension.
Joe Rowley has been out of action since January due to injury and could be set to return to action.
From the dugout:
James Rowe: “They haven’t changed too much. Matt [Gray] has done a great job down there. It’s good to see a young manager like himself come in and have such success.
“He stabilised them last year and he has really kicked on with the team this year. Full credit to them to be in the position that they’re in.”
