This Saturday we look to bounce back from our defeat at Fylde, when we face Tamworth at Blackwell Meadows (writes Simon Hahn).

The 4-1 loss last weekend saw us slip out of the play-off places, and fall two points behind Chorley in fifth, but we have still lost only once in seven matches going into the game.

Tamworth travel to the North East in ninth place five points behind ourselves and seven off the play-offs.

Last weekend they dramatically beat Harrogate 3-2, with Ben Fox scoring the winner for Tamworth in the final few minutes. The win was their 13th at home this season, but they have struggled to repeat that success on the road having only won five of their 18 games.

When the two sides met back in November, despite ourselves taking an early lead we fell to a 2-1 defeat. The result was the first of a run of seven games we had without a victory.

Tamworth defender Joe Clarke is a former Quaker having spent a year with the club during the 2010/11 season when we were in the Conference.

That same season we met Tamworth in the first game of our run to FA Trophy glory, when Curtis Main scored twice in a 3-2 win.

 

Our last six matches: LWDWWD

Tamworth’s last six matches: WLLWLW

Leading scorer Danny Newton 21

Kick off on Saturday afternoon is 3:00pm, updates on the game will be made from the club's Facebook, Twitter, Mobile App and Website, and there will be live commentary on Darlo Fans Radio
