WTFC v GTFC Preview

Two losses in a row for the Holy Blues and more injury troubles worry Russ Wilcox’s side after a lovely run of form. Trinity will be hoping to get this form back as they travel to the east coast where they will be facing Whitby Town in the Pitching In Northern Premier League. 

A narrow loss helped by the weather hit the Blues on Saturday. Ilkeston’s Jamie Walker hit a halfway line goal to help his side beat Gainsborough at the Kal Group Stadium. It was a fairly positive showing from Trinity as they created lots of chances despite the absence of Dayle Southwell up top. It just wasn’t their day unfortunately but things will come together soon for the Holy Blues. 

A 2 hour journey to the north east cost awaits Wilcox’s side. In search of a win to get them back on track, Trinity will be facing a tough side who have played in the first round of the FA cup this season. 

The Blues have only picked up 4 points in their last 5 games winning only one of the games. It’s not been an easy last few games though, they’ve lost in form goalkeeper, Luke Jackson, to a hamstring injury, Javelle Clarke has been ruled out for the foreseeable future as he picked up a horror injury against Ilkeston, Dayle Southwell is another on the injury list. Gainsborough now sit 16th but with over half the season left, they won’t be worrying too much. 

Whitby however have won 2 of their last 5 games and losing just one. They sit 5 places and 5 points above the Blues and have the advantage of 3 games in hand. 

The next home game for the Blues will be against high flying Macclesfield on Saturday 23rd December at 3pm. Macclesfield currently sit 5th and are being helped massively by ex Everton and Hull City striker, Oumar Niasse. It will definitely be a great game and it will be even better with a great turnout, so get yourselves down for that one!
