Hyde United have a similar record to Ilkeston with 19 points from 12 matches.
Their home record is P5, W3, D1, L1.
In their 12 league matches they have scored just 15 goals and conceded 15.
The small number of goals scored and conceded indicate a defensive biased team.
Their home wins include victories against Marine 2-1 and Worksop 3-1 but these were back in August. 
They lost 1-0 to Warrington on Saturday but prior to that they won four on the bounce against Basford, Stafford, Atherton and Bradford.

All of the teams in our league have a midweek game this week. 

Monday 23 October '23
Bradford Park Avenue v Whitby         Result ;  Bradford 1 Whitby 1 

Tuesday 24 October '23
Bamber Bridge v Warrington
FC United v Atherton Colls
Gainsborough T v Ashton
Guiseley v Marine
Hyde United v Ilkeston
Lancaster v Morpeth
Macclesfield v Worksop
Marske v Workington
Matlock v Basford
Radcliffe v Stafford Rangers

We need at least a point from our game.
Match of the day is Macclesfield v Worksop - a tough one to call. 
Playoff contenders, Warrington, Ashton and Marine all have away matches.
Workington make the long West coast to East coast journey to play against Marske.

I have it from the kitman that Ilkeston will be playing in blue tonight as Hyde's home colours are red.

Only Ian Deakin knows who will be on tonight's team sheet. Competition for places is so fierce that only Matt Yates can be reasonably confident of being on the team sheet. 

As usual we have a full supporters bus travelling to the match so we won't lack encouragement from the stands and terraces. 

Hyde's home attendances are usually around 600 and there is seating for 530.

Team bus leaves at 4pm.  Supporters bus leaves at 5pm

 

We've arrived at the ground. It's an artificial pitch but the floodlights seem a little dim. Or is it me?

Hyde United
1 Sam Waller, 2 Harry Ditchfield, 3 Joel Amado, 4 Callum Spooner, 5 Josh Doherty, 6 Bradley Roscoe, 7 Harry Bunn, 8 Matthew Fearnley, 9 Will Russ, 10 Jack Redshaw, 11Antione Makoli.
Bench: 12 Jack Turner, 14 Lewis Alessandra, 15 Nyal Bell, 16 Calvin Harper, 17 Reece Mellor. 

Ilkeston Town
I Matt Yates, 2 Taylor Anderson, 3 Jamie Walker, 4 Henri Wilder, 5 James Perch, 6 Kieran Fenton, 7 Liam Laughlan, 8 Declan Eratt-Thompson 9 Zak Goodson, 10 Tyrell Waite, 11 L'Varn Brandy, 
Bench: 12 Cieron Keane, 14 Jordan Hallam, 15 Luke Cox, 16 Ben Starkie, 17 Alex Marshall

 

The teams are out. and we're off.....

First corner to Hyde and it's cleared.  Brandy's  shot is well held by the keeper.  Big chance for Makoli on the break but he puts it wide.         0-0.    7 mins

Yates does well to cut out a cross. Hyde are looking the more dangerous. Shot by Redshaw id deflected out. 
0-0.    20 mins

Hyde are claiming a back pass to Yates but it wasn't intensional. Makoli shot flies past the post.   That was close. Ilkeston defence is looking shaky just now against Hyde's speedy forwards.   Att 339
0-0       26 mins.

Hyde find the net but its offside. Ilkeston haven't got going yet. Now we have a corner.  Hyde counter attack brings them a corner. Header goes wide.        0-0.     33 mins

Bunn's shot on the run is saved by Yates. It's a long time since Waller was tested by an Ilkeston forward. 
0-0.   43 mins

Zak gets fouled on the run.. Yellow card shown.  Chance for Brandy but he fires way over the bar. 

Half time.   0-0 

We've restarted....

Better start by Ilkeston in terms of possession but still no threat up front.        0-0.  52 mins
