Taylor’s Quick Return And Title Battles To Come!
It may not be a ferocious start to February but there are still six important National League games to kick-off the new month.
With the FA Trophy last 16 occupying a number of our clubs, those already eliminated have the opportunity to make the most of it.
Forest Green Rovers will be watching on with interest as the teams either side of them battle for points in their absence.
Leaders Barnet are now four points clear after another home success in midweek, but they are not quite as confident on the road.
Their win at Southend United last time out was their first win in five away from the Hive, and Tamworth like to tuck into the fancied sides at the Lamb.
York City, like the Bees, are brilliant at home but their fans remember what happened the last time the gates to the LNER were unlocked.
Sutton United brought their eight-match winning run on their own turf to a shuddering halt and those fans know there really can’t be a repeat when Dagenham & Redbridge arrive.
There are plenty of juicy subplots to dive into at Grosvenor Vale.
Matt Taylor returns to Wealdstone after departing Solihull Moors last week, and it’s his replacement’s first game in charge.
Stones’ new manager Neil Gibson thinks it’s a perfect fit and can’t wait to get down to work on Saturday.
If Oldham Athletic are to turn their promotion push into a title charge, the. they really need to go to struggling AFC Fylde and win.
Only bottom club Ebbsfleet, who travel to FC Halifax Town tomorrow, have scored fewer goals at home than Braintree Town.
The Iron look to put that right and give their supporters something to cheer when Hartlepool United make a second long trip south inside five day.
