GTFC V FCUM Preview

The Holy Blues return to the Kal Group Stadium this Saturday after collecting 1 point in the 2 away games they have played in. The first of the two was a tough trip to Marske where Sheffield Wednesday loanee, Luke Jackson, injured himself, leading to Lewis Butroid stepping up in goal. 

Then Trinity traveled down to Manchester to face fifth place Hyde on a wintery Tuesday evening. The Blues impressed early on as they went ahead twice in the first 20 minutes of the game, but they couldn’t hold there lead and it ended all square. 

Gainsborough will now welcome FC Inited of Manchester to the Northolme in a highly anticipated match. The Holy Blues currently sit 15th in the table with FC United of Manchester just one point behind in 16th. 

In the two consecutive away matches, Declan Howe was able to pick up three goals. His scoring form doesn’t seem to end as he now has 9 goals for the season. 

Fc United of Manchester have scored 8 goals in the past 3 games and have brought in Warrington Town striker, Jordan Buckley to try and add to that tally. 

The Trinity defence will be hard at work, but so will the attackers. Justin Iwobi will have another chance to show his talent at the Northolme. The Halifax loanee only played one of the two away games due to a failed fitness test in Marske. 

The away side have only picked up 1 win in the past 5 games, drawing 2 and losing 2. Gainsborough have won 2 drawn 1 and lost 2 in the past 5. 

The 3pm kick off will be the first for The Blues in December as they look to climb up the table just before the New Year, ready to kick on in the second half of the season.

At the bottom of the table, Stafford host Marske as they look to try and climb out of the bottom 4, they currently sit 4 points from safety. 

Worksop travel to Ashton United. Ashton will be hoping for a win as it would put them into the play off places.
