There’s never a dull moment at Ilkeston and all eyes are on the next match which is against Guiseley. It’s been an up and down season and we need the points after two defeats against teams fighting relegation.
Guiseley are always tough opposition and on Saturday they will be all out to avenge our 4-1 victory on their ground.
After reaching the playoffs last season Guiseley were expected to do well but like Ilkeston they’ve spent much of the season in the lower half of the table. They currently have 2 points more than Ilkeston.
Guiseley’s away record is not brilliant but neither is Ilkeston’s home record
Guiseley record to date P.29 W10. D6. L13. F31. A40. Pts 36
Guiseley away record P14. W4. D2. L8. F8. A18. Pts 14
Ilkeston record to date P29. W10. D4. L15 . F39. A42. Pts 34
Ilkeston home record P14. W6. D1. L7. F22. A20. Pts 19

Apparently some fans are boycotting matches
We really need supporters to help us just now. We're on 34 points so we need another 16 points to pretty much ensure we stay up. We need as many points as possible from our home matches starting with Guiseley.
There are only 5 home games remaining after the Guiseley match and they're all tough ones. Four of them are against teams in the top six.
Hebburn (1st), Stockton (4th), Warrington (10th), Bamber Bridge (6th) and FC United (3rd)

It’s important that we produce a winning performance against Guiseley because our next five league matches and a blank Saturday could leave us perilously close to the drop zone as we go into the final month of the season.
Next 5 league matches after Guiseley:
21 Feb Rylands (A)
28 Feb Hebburn (H)

From the Archives - We have met tomorrow's opponents before. Do you remember these line ups? I can identify one future Ilkeston Town manager, a future Mickleover manager and a future member of the Cleethorpes Town coaching staff!

Neil Ross. Bloody hell you forget about him. Ross and muller up front was a great partnership.

What a chance for Christie on the break but he puts his shot wide. Should have scored. Chance for Dixon but he fires wide of the far post. 0-0. 23 mins

Dixon gets a yellow. Birchill does well but his shot is too high. Odunaiya shot hits the inside of the post and flies across goal. Then Kirby-Moore scores 1-0. 26 mins
