KIRBY MUXLOE V HUCKNALL TOWN
UCL DIV 1 SAT SEPT 18TH 21 15.00 KO
MATCH PREVIEW
A new ground for me to visit tomorrow and as far as I am aware a new team as I don't believe our paths have crossed before. Somebody may be able to correct me on this but I believe it to be true.
So a bit of a unknown quantity awaits as Hucknall travel to Kirby Muxloe tomorrow. Both teams were knocked out of the FA Vase last weekend by divisional rivals so both will be looking to bounce back with a victory tomorrow.
The hosts will have an advantage as they have a 3g pitch which they will know all about but will be strange for the Hucknall team'.
Kirby have had a funny old season so far sitting in tenth position having played 8 games, winning 4 , drawing 1 and losing 3.
They started off the season with a comfortable home win over Graham Street Prims, Kyle Tott grabbing a hat trick as they won 4 nil.
This was followed up by a 4 1 home defeat to Lutterworth Athletic who had lost themselves to Hucknall on that opening day.
In their first away fixture they came from 2 nil down to triumph 3 2 at Dunkirk. Lucca Watson-Quilter grabbing a brace.
Then came an unexpected 8 1 defeat at Aylestone Park the prolific Shay Brennan weighing in with 4 goals.
Kyle Tott then got himself another Hatrick but Kirby let a 4 2 lead slip in the last ten minutes against winless Clifton at home having to settle for a 4 4 draw.
Barrow Town visited Kirby the Tuesday after Hucknall had inflicted a 3 1 home defeat on them the game before. Barrow responded well and came away with a 5 1 victory with Kyle Tott receiving a red card.
Kirby showed what an unpredictable side they can be with a fine 3 2 away victory at high flying Harrowby. Jack Gunn getting a brace. This was followed up with another 3 2 victory against current league leaders St Andrews at home before Saturdays penalty shoot out defeat in the Vase at Birstall United.
Hucknall are currently just outside the play off positions in 6th spot following recent games but are very much in touch with the top teams.
Their league record reads played 8 winning 5 drawing 2 and losing 1.
Manager Andy Graves will be boosted by the return of Grant Ryan after his long suspension. He scored a hat trick for the reserves in mid week. Joe Ashurst scored against Gedling and looked sharp and Joe Butler having also played for the reserves may also play a part.
In my opinion this is a difficult game for the Yellows. Kirby seem to play their best against the top sides with the exception of Aylestone and are capable of scoring a few goals from different positions. On the other side of the coin they do seem to concede a few.
Should be a good entertaining game. Safe travels.
