Mossley Vs FC Halifax Town - Preview
The Shaymen are back in Unibond League action on Tuesday evening when they travel to Mossley looking to build on last week's confidence boosting win against Silsden in the FA Cup.
They will face a home side in prime form and the Lillywhites currently sit in 2nd place in the table with 12 points from their 5 games.
With an odd number of teams in this division it was Jim Vince's men who enjoyed a break on Saturday but the absence of a game gave the Town boss chance to hold a training session in Manchester where he was able to run the rule over Tony Barras and Ryan Sugden as they close in on a comeback from injury.Latest newcomer Danny Davison was also looking for a chance to impress and all three could be included in the squad at Mossley.
Town will need to be on top of their game against a team they has won 4 of its 5 games so far and the most recent of these was on Saturday when they thumped Salford City 4 v 0 away from home.In Mike Fish they have a goal threat and the front man has already found the back of the net on 8 occasions in League and Cup games this season including a hat-trick at Salford.
But Town have an inform Striker of their own in Ashley Stott and the ex Bangor City man recorded his first competitive goals for the club at Silsden.And, he is now looking to record his first League goal and there would be no better time than Tuesday night to do this against Chris Willcock's Mossley side.
The Greater Manchester club's home attendances have been 173 and 179 so far but Tuesday's crowd is likely to be much higher than there.FCHT will be backed by a sizeable following over the Pennines and everyone in a Blue shirt will be looking for The Shaymen to take 3 points.
