Match pointers
WITTON, six points adrift of a position of safety in the Premier Division, are desperate to end a five-month wait to win away from home.

That sequence without a victory is 10 matches, six of those defeats.

They have travelled to eight teams currently in the table’s bottom half, drawing on five occasions.

Brian Pritchard’s men have improved since losing at Stamford a fortnight ago, adding four points to their total in back-to-back games at Wincham Park.

Club captain Anthony Sheehan and striker Dave Walker both played for the reserves on Thursday night, helping both to make progress towards full fitness after spells out injured.

Hosts Stafford have improved since Graham Heathcote took charge, claiming seven points from half a dozen matches.

His predecessor Andy Mutch needed 15 games to muster the same tally before leaving Marston Road in early January.

Indeed, Boro have failed to keep a clean sheet in front of their own fans this term in 18 attempts.

They lost 5-0 in Northwich back in October, with the line-up this weekend likely to be much-changed from the one that started that game.
