Match pointers
WITTON are desperate to return to winning ways following last Saturday’s disappointing defeat against Grantham.

Manager Brian Pritchard will be forced to make changes to the team that lost to the Gingerbreads, as defender Ben Harrison serves a one-match ban.

Mathew Wood returns from suspension, but Matthew Cross (knee) and Rory Fallon (arm) are definitely out injured.

Oliver James could make his first appearance of the season in place of the latter, while striker Steve Foster plays for the last time before his initial one-month loan stay from Chorley ends.

Albion have picked up more points on the road than at home, recovering from back-to-back defeats at North Ferriby and Hednesford to roll over Rushall last time out.

They boast an unblemished record away from Wincham Park too against opponents in the table’s bottom half.

Hosts Eastwood are the Premier Division’s most out-of-sorts side following five successive defeats, including a 4-1 thrashing at FC United of Manchester last Sunday.

The Badgers have shipped 21 goals in that sequence as well.

Their home record is the section’s worst, with a single win from seven attempts, as the Nottinghamshire-based club struggles to adapt following the departure of manager John Ramshaw last month.

Defender Chris Shaw starts a three-matches ban this weekend, while striker Adam Somes misses out for the same reason as he completes a suspension.

Injured Paul Riley has stood down as temporary co-manager, leaving midfielder Mitch Hanson in sole charge.
