TEAM NEWS

WHAT WE’RE SAYING
After drawing against Southport, Graham Fenton said: “It’s pure frustration as we can put a solid 45 [minutes] together and then capitulate.
“We just contribute to our downfall too often, I mean look at the goals we have conceded today, they are absolutely disgustingly bad, all three of them.
“How are you meant to win games of football like that.”
OPPOSITION
Brackley Town currently sit seventh in the National League North with 23 points, having played 16 games this season, however, they are just one point ahead of Blyth, who sit in 12th.
In their last outing, the Saints suffered a 1-0 defeat on the road against Hereford through Yusifu Cessay Cessay’s sixth-minute strike.
LAST TIME WE MET
Last season both games at Croft Park and St James Park finished in a 1-1 draw with late goals from each side recovering a point. At St James Park, Levi Amantchi scored a penalty in the 98th minute to level the scoring for Brackley, whilst at Croft Park Toby Lees scored in the 89th minute for Blyth.
The season prior, Blyth were victorious at St James Park as JJ O’Donnell’s strike just after the hour mark allowed Spartans to bring three points back to the North-East.
