TEAM NEWS
It's back to Croft Park we go as Spartans look to continue our great home record against struggling Stafford Rangers. Under new manager Graham Heathcote, they managed to stop a poor run of form and won his first game in charge on Saturday. Blyth's game at Matlock Town was called off due to a waterlogged pitch so the players had some extra time to recover from knocks over the hectic Christmas period.
Paul Robinson's ban will begin so he will be missing from the team sheet but during the Stockbridge game Ian Watson come on after being rested over the last few games.
