Your Weekend Starts Here! So What’s In Store On Saturday?

Managerial appointments were made at Maidstone United, Barnet and Braintree - as Richard Money moved upstairs at Hartlepool United.

Then there was the little matter of David Beckham buying into Salford City.

So what has the actual football got in store for us on Saturday?

One of those new managers is John Still and he couldn’t ask for a harder first assignment back at Maidstone. He takes the team to leaders Leyton Orient, who have suffered back-to-back National League defeats and need a reaction.

Salford’s new backer will be keeping tabs on what’s going on at FC Halifax as the Ammies take their title challenge to the Shay.

But dropped points elsewhere last weekend meant Solihull Moors slipped nicely into second spot - can they do the unthinkable? Tim Flowers' team take on AFC Fylde, while Wrexham badly need to get back to winning ways and their fans know they must beat Maidenhead.

Garry Hill's Ebbsfleet will move into the play-off places for the first time this season if they win at Sutton United - our social media feature game on Saturday.

Chesterfield’s new manager John Sheridan got off to the perfect start at Aldershot and a win at home to Barrow can potentially pull the Spireites out of the bottom four.

There’s not just one new manager on show at Victoria Park, there’s two.

Craig Hignett and Richard Money have effectively swapped roles at Hartlepool United, while Danny Searle is now in charge at Braintree Town after Hakan Hayrettin followed John Still to Maidstone.

Havant and Dover Athletic meet for the third time in just over a month - but this time there’s very important points on offer as they both sit just outside the bottom four.

Aldershot are the only side in the relegation zone who have the same manager they started the season with.

Gary Waddock knows his side have to start picking up points - their last win came on November 3 against bottom side Braintree.

Things don’t get any easier and this weekend they face a trip to Dagenham.

Ben Clark is looking to build on a great point at Salford as Gateshead welcome out-of-form Boreham Wood.

Bromley and Eastleigh have enjoyed the past few months and the winning at Hayes Lane will be really confident of a play-off push in the final few months of the season.
