After that “mid-season break” this is now our fifth game in 15 days and we face a strong Altincham side that did not play on Saturday and are pushing hard for the play offs. They are a hard side to beat , most recently winning against Wealdstone and narrowly against Barnet but before that drawing 2-2 with both Sutton and Stockport. In fact that was their second draw against Stockport, one of the better teams in the league.
With Moxey “rested” on Saturday, no doubt he will be back and will bring better balance to the side and allow Lewis to go back on the right. It leaves Johnson with some hard choices to make in midfield, does he drop Little, who is getting better with each game after his return from injury but not quite there yet and continue with the CLE, Hall and Randell main combination of the season so far? Up front, Street or Umerah? What is clear, we have no ready made replacement for Wright and we seem to be relying on goals from midfield.
Although we have a decent lead at the top of the division, quite a few of our rivals have games in hand and it is closely packed in the play-off places so we need to keep winning to maintain the gap and with a couple of winnable games coming up would allow us to go on another run.
