Brackley lost their last match as they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the Isuzu FA Trophy away at Braintree Town.

What We're Saying

Following a second win on the bounce, Graham Fenton said: "It's a funny old game, I guess thats what I can say, we've been much better in lots of games this season and got beat, today we wern't at our best in possession.

"I thought we were very good out of possession at times and produced two moments of quality to win the game. We defended our box exceptionally well, and like I say, they were probably the better team in between the two boxes and vice-versa we were the better team in the boxes."

What They're Saying

After their elimination to Braintree in the FA Trophy, Roger Johnson said: "?It was important to give the lads who haven't been playing some minutes and it was important to rest some players.

"Everyone put a shift in, I can't fault the effort and there were some good performances. I thought we deserved to go to penalties but we lacked a bit of cutting edge."

Last Time We Met

Blyth experienced joy last time out against Brackley as they managed a 1-0 win at St James Park Brackley thanks to a second-half winner by JJ O'Donnell.

Earlier at the start of the season in September the sides faced one-another at Croft Park in a 0-0 draw.
