What We're Saying

Vice-captain JJ O'Donnell was positive about his side's showing against Kidderminster on Saturday, "We matched them, so it's a bitter pill to swallow. They're going to be up there by the end of the season so we've got to take the positives out of today.

It'll be a tough test (against Kings Lynn), they came down from the National League so they'll be a good side. Hopefully we can replicate our performance today, If we keep the squad fit and the lads play to our potential there's no reason why we can't have a good season."

What They're Saying

Looking ahead to Saturday's match, Widdrington was look to kick on after a promising start to eh season. "The work and diligence (on Blyth), we've done. We feel we know certain trends we stick to and hope to try and exploit them with our strengths.

We're in a good place, we were ready to at Bradford, and having got the good result now we're looking to build on it."

Last Time We Met

Spartans last trip to The Walks was a 3-0 defeat in December 2019, with Blyth suffering another 3-0 defeat just a month later in the return fixture at Croft Park.
