TEAM NEWS
Tom Wade will be hoping he can call upon Captain Joe Kendrick for Tuesday's game after he went off with an injury on Saturday. Wade will also be hoping Aaron Wearmouth will be fit enough to feature in the match, with only being able to have a place on the bench against AFC Fylde.
With the returning Purewal partnering Buddle at centre back, the pair will be hoping they will be continuing their impressive partnership together at the back and start to push on for more consistent positive performances. If Kendrick isn't fit enough to feature on Tuesday, Tom will be able to call upon Ian Watson, left back/left winger came on for Kendrick on Saturday and showed some signs of what he is capable of. Also Nolan will be hoping to feature after making a brief appearance against AFC Fylde but nothing really feel for the young striker, who joined Blyth from North Shields in the summer.
IN THE AWAY DUG OUT
Paul Phillips/Steve Halford - The due were appointed in the summer. Phillips is a player/manager and is well known for his time at Droyslden and other Conference level sides such as Stalybridge and started off at Manchester United.
DANGER MAN
Martin Pilkington - Scored 4 goals in the league and one against Witton in the cup on Saturday
