What We're Saying

After advancing in the Isuzu FA Trophy, Graham Fenton said: "I said to the lads before the game I basically dont care how we get he job done, can we get the job done and get into the hat and I thought again they were good, really disappointed with the goal we gave away, cheap goals but im delighted with the flip side."

Speaking on Main, he said: "He looked like a proper number nine, so whoever that was shouting for us to get a number nine, is that not a number nine's performance today."

Cedric Main also spoke after his four-goal haul and said: "Obviosley I was looking for a goal for a long time, so I'm happy to score not even one but four, so it's a good day for me today."

What They're Saying

After his side win 3-1 against Southport, manager Adam Lakeland said: "We were disappointing in the first half thats for sure, probably the last thing I said to the boys before they went out was I cant remember us having a bad performance this season, I know we've lost games but I dont particularly poorly in any game that I can remember.

"We certainly were more like ourselves in the second half, we played with more tempo and we were on the front foot, we controlled the ball much better and thought second half we were tremendous and byfar the better team."

Last Time We Met

The Spartans have a very strong head-to-head record against the Nash having won 10 of the last 13 matches between the sides since 2014, loosing just once.

Delight for Blyth last time out against Curzon Ashton as Lewis McNall's early opener was nough for Blyth to take the three points back in May.
