Tue 13th Jan 26 : Whitby v Ilkeston : ko 7 45

Next up is Whitby away on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately I can’t make this match so won't be able to provide match updates.

 Whitby have two points less than Ilkeston but have played two games less.

In our last four matches Ilkeston have drawn 2 and won 2. (2 home wins, 2 away draws)

In their last four matches Whitby have drawn 2 and lost 2.   (2 home defeats, 1 home draw and 1 away draw)

It’s a long time since we had a win at Whitby and they’ve already beaten us this season at the NMG, so a win would be a surprise. But we’re on a roll so you never know. Let’s keep the unbeaten run going and avenge the home defeat.

Whitby’s home record is similar to our away record

Whitby home record     P12, Won 3, Drawn 5, Lost 4. Pts 14
Ilkeston away record     P12, Won 4. Drawn 2, Lost 6  Pts.14

Whitby have failed to win any of their last 4 home games
Whitby's last 4 home games
Sat 08 Nov.    Guiseley.     draw 1-1
Sat 22 Nov     Leek.           lost.  0-3
Fri  26 Dec.    Morpeth.      lost.  1-2
Sat 10 Jan.    Workington  draw  0-0

Re: Tue 13th Jan 26 : Whitby v Ilkeston : ko 7 45

With only one win in their last seven matches maybe Whitby are not that good just now.

They have had some good results like beating Ashton (A) 4-1, Hednesford (H) 2-1 and Rylands (A) 1-0.
And some poor results like losing to Hyde (A) 2-5, Stocksbridge (A)1-4 and Leek (H) 0-3

A bit jekyll and hyde like us

Jamie Walker will be missing from the team tonight otherwise it’s a pretty much full squad to pick from. It’s always difficult for the players to take time off work for Tuesday night away games but hopefully each player will make it. 

* There's a possibility of a new signing this week. The player in question is currently playing for a local Step5 team and banging in goals

I think his good lady is not far off popping. So it's the right thing for him to stop at home
