Hucknall Hope To Spook St Andrews

 HUCKNALL TOWN V ST ANDREWS

UCL DIV 1 SAT 30TH OCTOBER 21 3 PM KO

MATCH PREVIEW

St Andrews are the visitors to Watnall Road this Saturday looking to cement their place in the top 5 and put pressure on the two teams above them.

St Andrews themselves will have ambitions of making the play off spots and had a good start to the season indeed heading the table a couple of times but their challenge is in serious danger of falling apart after recent results.

At the moment they lie 10th in the table playing 16 winning 7 drawing 2 and losing 7 with a GD of plus 8.

They started of winning therir first three league fixtures by the same score 4 nil to be one of the early pace setters. A draw and a win followed before they tasted defeat for the first time losing 5 nil at Belper United.

They responded by winning the next 2 games both 3 1 before losing at Kirby Muxloe after being 2 nil up.

A decent win on penalties at Clipstone in the FA Vase followed before a 4 1 win at home to Holwell Sports and at this point St Andrews were very much in the mix.

In 8 games since then their have been defeats to Kimberley, Hinckley, Ingles, Dunkirk and Saffron Dynamo in the league plus a vase exit at division rivals Birstall United. The only point gained was courtesy of a 2 2 draw at Gedling. They were leading in the home game with Bourne but that game was abandoned by the officials after Bourne had to many players sin binned at one time for the match to continue.

So Hucknall will be looking to add to their woes and will be feeling confident after winning 5 league games and a Notts Senior cup game at Clifton in midweek to make it 6 wins from 6.

Their League record stands at played 17 winning 11 drawing 3 and losing 3 with a GD of plus 24.

Manager Andy Graves will have to make at least one change as Sam Sims is unavailable for this one.

Should be a decent game.

Keep Safe all
