York City v Tamworth
York City have a full squad available for the visit of struggling Tamworth this weekend as they attempt to build upon their excellent midweek victory. Midfielders Chris Carruthers (inset) and Alex Lawless both appeared for the reserves in their North Riding Senior Cup victory at Northallerton Town in midweek, while Levi Mackin also comes back into contention after serving a two-match ban. Djoumin Sangare appears set to continue alongside Luke Graham in the centre of defence, with skipper Danny Parslow and David McGurk once more amongst the substitutes.With some of their play-off rivals facing each other this weekend, the hosts will need to make sure they don't slip up again when facing lowly opposition. Both Salisbury City and Eastbourne Borough have recently won at Bootham Crescent. “It could be a great three points for us when you take into consideration the other fixtures tomorrow," manager Martin Foyle told The Press. "It’s an opportunity that’s there to be taken.“Having said that, it looked like we had the hardest game in midweek on paper but we won and Wimbledon and Mansfield dropped points. It’s hard to forecast results at this time of the season when everybody’s nervous and the teams at the bottom don’t make things easy.” Foyle continued: “Those results certainly have nothing to do with complacency. We’ve never had that with this group of players, not even in training.“The players always give everything. I think it’s more to do with teams coming here and being negative.“There were individual mistakes in those defeats and a fluke goal here and there, but we also had some great chances we should have finished and we need to get the frontline firing again." Tamworth are without a goal in more than eight hours and will be missing midfielder Jake Sheridan through suspension. Nick Wright (foot) is still unavailable and Michael Briscoe (ankle) is doubtful. But skipper Chris Smith returns to face his former club.
