What We're Saying

After our match against Lancaster, Colin Myers said: “The first half wasn't acceptable, it wasn't good enough.

“We went out with a game plan to build on what we did at Hyde. We didn't change the way we were going to do things as we thought we were successful with it at Hyde.

"All we needed to do was apply it, and we just simply didn't in the first 45 minutes."

Opposition

Guiseley currently sit fourth in the NPL Premier Division league standings, and a win on Saturday will mathematically guarantee a place in the playoffs.

They suffered a 3-0 defeat last time out against league champions Macclesfield.

Last Time We Met

The sides last met in August in what finished in a goalless draw at Nethermoor Park.

The last time they met at Croft Park was in November 2021 when Sean Reid scored the only goal of the match in a 1-0 victory for Blyth.
