TEAM NEWS
With last weekends hammering of Skelmersdale at Croft Park behind us now, Spartans will be focusing their attention back onto the league as they host Kings Lynn Town. The team from Norfolk are currently sitting 10th in the league, four positions and 4 points behind us and find themselves three games unbeaten in the league. Blyth have also only lost one home game in the league this season.
Aaron Wearmouth went off injured in the 6-0 victory on Saturday but will be hoping to get himself back in the squad for this weekends fixture. Also the likes of Neal Hooks and Joe Kendrick will be hoping they can get the call up off the bench, especially Joe with his goal he notched against Skem. Also Blyth will be hoping they can have cover with Conor Grant being injured in the last fixture, leaving no goalkeeper on the bench, if required. Craig Hubbard will be hoping to continue his goal scoring form, which could push he to the top goalscorer for Blyth this season, but he faces tough competition with on form striker Dan Maguire, who are both joint on 7 goals each.
IN THE AWAY DUG OUT
Gary Setchell - Ex Kettering, Rushdon & Diamonds and Kings Lynn player, been in charge since 2010.
