TEAM NEWS

Bouncing back has been a strong factor in Blyth's recovery from defeats in the league and is required tomorrow as we start to count down to the final fixtures of the 2015/16 season, by welcoming Halesowen Town to Croft Park. The reverse fixture saw a cagey 1-0 win back in January, with a Robbie Dale penalty in the second half providing the decider.

With chasing teams hot on our heels the importance of home games and a great atmosphere will be crucial in securing the three points we are striving for. Damen Mullen made a return from the bench at Sutton Coldfield on Saturday and could continue in midfield, where Matty Wade should be in contention again. Dan Maguire played his first 90 minutes since his return from the treatment table and will be desperate to get his name back on the goal sheet, with hot competition from Wilson Kneeshaw and Arran Wearmouth.

OPPOSITION MANAGER

John Hill - joined September 2012. His side is currently 15th in the league, 15 points above the relegation zone.

DANGER MAN

Kaiman Anderson. Has scored twice since the turn of the year and was dangerous in the reverse tie.
