Heed Hope It's More Unsworth Agony On Exciting Weekend

David Unsworth really needs a result as Oldham Athletic head to Gateshead for the 5.30pm kick-off and with only five points on the board, the Latics boss will understand the requirement to return home with something to show for their trip to the International Stadium.

There’s a certain symmetry to the Heed’s season so far - they have won two, drawn two and lost two and at home it’s one victory, one defeat and also one draw.

But they’ve scored 12 times already and Mike Williamson’s men beat Oldham twice at home inside five weeks last season as they followed up FA Trophy glory with a 2-1 National League win.

Solihull Moors fans will fancy their chances of holding onto top spot for another week. But a home game against Oxford City isn’t what it was a fortnight ago - they’ve taken five points from their last three games and battered Boreham Wood 4-0 last time out.

The last thing Luke Garrard needs is a grudge game against Barnet right now, Dean Brennan’s side already have four wins and Nicke Kabamba has scored five times.

Dom Poleon has gone one better in a game less as he carries on his electric form from last season. He wants even more as Ebbsfleet United welcome winless York City, who parted ways with manager Michael Morton on Monday.

Hartlepool fans were broken hearted after throwing away the lead against Chesterfield but they’re looking to shake that off with a home win against Wealdstone. Dorking Wanderers host Eastleigh, who got their first victory against Aldershot Town on Monday.

Tommy Widdrington wants his team to bounce back from that defeat but he is fully aware Chesterfield are one of the title favourites - but also knows the Shots have excelled at home so far this season.

Woking fans always travel well to Maidenhead and they head to York Road looking for their third win on the spin. Tyrese Sinclair wants to keep his red hot scoring run going as Rochdale host FC Halifax Town, who have drawn their last three.

Ollie Crankshaw hopes to make his Altrincham debut after signing from Stockport County. His new team face Bromley, while AFC Fylde host Dagenham & Redbridge with both sides knowing better is surely to come.

Southend United hope to get back in credit following their deduction and they will have a positive points haul if they defeat Kidderminster Harriers, who travel to Essex without a win in four matches.
