In-form Whitby Town Target Leek Town Points

The Blues face Staffordshire opposition, in NPL Premier, on Saturday.

Town are aiming to making it just one league defeat in nine and stay in the NPL Premier top five when they welcome Leek Town to the Towbar Express Stadium.

Blues boss Gary Liddle told Whitby Town TV their Staffordshire visitors have also hit form under new manager Josh Brehaut:

 "That's two in a row. That momentum you can gather in in little runs like that is huge at our level and we are on the good side of that at the moment. We've certainly been on the other side of that in the past, but as we are now, we're in massive confident mood.

"We'll go into that league game in a massive confident mood and we're at home back at the Towbar and we'll welcome Leek.

"I'll welcome Josh and now we'll certainly look to get three points out of that and keep our decent run going and keep an eye on that top end of the league. That's where we obviously are at the moment and where we'll always aim to be."

 

The Blues player-boss added:

 "Yeah we'll prepare for it as we do for any game and, all the tactical stuff that, that goes into a weekend game. And they've picked up some good results.

They obviously beat Ashton at home last Tuesday that they've backed it up with a very good win against Scarborough. And I know I've spoke to Jono at Scarborough and, he was quite complimentary of them, so it's going to be a tough game. Of course it is. In league positions will probably have us down as odds on, but, we've been there ourselves. We certainly weren't favourites going into the weekend [at leaders Warrington Rylands, which Town won 1-0] where we saw it, we'll treat it right and we'll hope to continue our good form that we've had recently."

Kick-off is 3.00pm.
