.
Love an away night match and can't wait for this one.
We're unbeaten after five matches (three in the FA Cup) so we're on a roll.
Spalding won this fixture last season by 1-0.
They've started well this season beating Sutton Coldfield and Carlton before losing to Loughborough Dynamo.

Loving this season and hoping for an emphatic win tonight.

The FA Cup run is great but the league is more important.

It's going to be tough to finish above teams like Stamford, Leek and Worksop so we can't afford too many slip-ups.

Games like tonight's match at Spalding need to be won.

The more we play the better we'll get. Let's keep this unbeaten run going.

You can't beat being there but If you are unable to travel, the next best thing is to follow the live match updates.

Matchman updates are available here on WhiteBall and the superb Danny Draper will be doing the updates on Twitter. Follow both and it's almost like being at the match. Kick off is 7 45 with team news around 7pm

Following a pitch inspection it's GAME ON

Going to be a really hard game again tonight . Spalding have beaten Sutton Coldfield who came good just before the lockdown . Plus they beat Carlton , so they will be up for it .
Can't get tonight as I am at work.

7 35pm and only just arrived at the ground. Due to late arrival, I'll give the Ilkeston team later.

Spalding United :1 Michael Duggan, 2 Ollie Price, 3 Tom Warren, 4 Scott Floyd, 5 Ben Greenwood (c), 6 Jan Yeomans, 7 Michael Campbell, 8 Jamie Goddard, 9 Jacob Fenton ,10 Lewis Brownhill, 11 Spencer Weir-Daley.
Subs : 12 Ryan Flitton, 14 Ben Richards, 15 Tobias Liversedge, 16 Shane Clarke, 17 Cavan Holford. GK Alex Smith

Ilkeston Town :1 Ross Durrant, 2 Charlie Marzano, 3 Mitchell Tait, 4 Jack Thomas, 5 Joe Maguire, 6 Keiran Fenton (c), 7 Zak Goodson, 8 Oliie Brown-Hill, 9 Alex Troke, 10 Nat Watson, 11 James Reid.

7.48 pm and we're off ....

Matchman · 06/10/2020 6:54 PM

It's a wet surface and the Spalding keeper is first to slip. It's a steady start. Spalding back pass has keeper in trouble but he clears . GOAL Troke sets up Goodson and Ilkeston are ahead on 5 minutes 1-0

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:01 PM

I make that six goals for Zak already Great play by Troke to create the opportunity. Marzano is sent off for a late tackle. Straight red. Very harsh to me. 11 minutes

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:07 PM

It's going to be difficult now. Brown-Hill shot is just wide. Spalding have not troubled Durrant yet. 1-0 19 minutes

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:13 PM

First Spalding shot goes wide. Spalding growing in confidence now. Now Zak is taken out. Yellow for Spalding No 5.
Reid free kick is punched out by keeper. 1-0 25 minutes

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:18 PM

Corner to Spalding. but its a free kick to lIkeston as the ball comes in. Ten man Ilkeston are doing ok 1-0 30 minutes

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:24 PM

Durrant booked for time wasting. Timely interception by Tait. Goodson just beaten to the ball by outrushing keeper. But Spalding are now making the extra man count. 1-0 36 minutes

Durrant is seeing plenty of the ball as Spalding press. Good Ilkeston break but Goodson is stopped. Spalding 11 finds net but he's well offside. 1-0 41 minutes

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:34 PM

GOOD Ilkeston move but Goodson miscues in the area.
Half time ; Spalding United 0 ilkeston 1

Belper 5 Sutton 1 Tyreece Robinson got the opener for Belper

Leek 2 Market Drayton 0
Spalding 0 Ilkeston 1
Stamford 1 Lincoln U 1
Worksop 3 Glossop 1

Matchman · 06/10/2020 7:38 PM

I think we would be cruising had Marzano not been harshly sent off. As it is, we now have a battle. Even with ten players Ilkeston have had the better chances so far but it's all to play for in the second half.

Ross has to be careful. He's been booked for time wasting.
If we concede a goal early in the second half then we're in trouble. We need another goal.

Half time: Stamford 1 Lincoln Utd 1

Watson almost finds a way through. Two chances in quick succession for Spalding, one shot blocked then one wide. Fenton clears one off the line. Big effort by Spalding goes unrewarded. Goodson breaks and wins a corner. Goodson scores again 2-0 54 minutes

Fenton is a rock at the back. Ilkeston lucky as ball hits the post and goes for a corner. Zak is our outlet. Don't be surprised if he gets another. Spalding shot flies across Ilkeston goal. 2-0 64 minutes
