For the second Saturday in a row we will be playing at Blackwell Meadows, this time looking for a positive result at home to Gloucester City.

Last Saturday we appeared to have snatched a draw at home to Nuneaton Town after a late goal from David Syers, before the visitors went up the other end to score the winner in stoppage time.

With defeat we slipped to sixth in the league outside of the playoff places, one point behind Tamworth.

But Liam Marrs still strongly believes that we will finish in the play offs -- you can listen to his interview here.

(By the way, don't forget that the vote for the new home and away shirts ends at 6pm on Sunday night)

Gloucester currently sit in 11th place in the league, nine points behind ourselves after a 1-0  win at bottom of the table Altrincham. Away from home Gloucester have won five of their twelve games, but before Saturday they had lost their last six games in the league.

When the two sides met in August, we came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Stephen Thompson and Mark Beck.

Kick off on Saturday is 3:00pm, updates on the game will be made from the club's Facebook, Twitter, Mobile App and Website. Live Commentary will be broadcast from Darlo Fans Radio at 2:50pm. The club's app and Darlo Fans Radio are kindly sponsored by Tempest Jones
