We’re looking for our first home league win of the season when Telford come to Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

We’ve only played one home league game so far – a 3-1 defeat by Kidderminster – while our second home league game on Tuesday night had to be unfortunately abandoned because of the head injury to Nicky Hunt.

Telford have played four games more than us, and haven’t won in their last four league matches.

But the message from Alun to the players will be: Win it for Nicky!

Couple of connections between the two clubs:

Everton signed Darlington keeper Fred Barber after their manager Howard Kendall had seen the keeper play for Quakers against Telford in the FA Cup in 1985

We beat Telford 3-0 in the third round of the FA Trophy in 2011.
