TEAM NEWS
Spartans are back at Croft Park after Tuesday's game with FC United and this time we welcome Buxton. Last season saw The Bucks do a league double over the Spartans but manager Wade will want to get back to winning ways after Tuesday's fixture. Blyth have had an average start to the season, with 2 wins, draws and defeats but the ties have been a tough start and will be hoping to be more realistic of picking up points, starting on Saturday.
After making his home debut on Tuesday, Jordan Watson will want to continue his good form on Non League Day at Croft Park. Paul Robinson started against FC United and will be hoping his performance was good enough for another start against Buxton on the weekend. Dan Maguire will be hoping that he can get himself back on the score sheet after missing opportunities in the previous match.
IN THE AWAY DUG OUT
Martin McIntosh - Ex Hamilton, Stockport, Rotherham and Huddersfield player, been in charge of Buxton since February 2012.
DANGER MAN
Liam Hardy - 5 goals in 6 games, including a hat-rick against Grantham in a 5-1 victory.
