MATCH PREVIEW – Radcliffe by Tyler Habib.
Looking to carry on their unbeaten run of form, the Saints host Radcliffe this Saturday. 3pm KO.
The recently promoted Radcliffe are currently bottom of the National League North table and have not won a game this season (D4 L6). On the other hand, Brackley go into this tie following an impressive run of games and are unbeaten in 8 games across the League and Cup(s). The most impressive of which would be Tuesday’s dramatic comeback against Hartlepool, where a spectacular second half performance would fire the Saints to the first round of the FA Cup. The first time since 2020.
This weekend’s fixture will be the first ever competitive match between Brackley and Radcliffe, with the visitors winning the Northern Premier League (Premier Division) last season.
The Men in Charge:
Bernard Morley and Anthony Johnson were famously managers of Salford, and were with the side until 2018, leaving on top after winning the National League North before spells at Chester and Spennymoor Town.
Key Players:
Bradley Roscoe has played every single minute in the league for Radcliffe this season, contributing 4 goals from the backline, he is their joint top scorer alongside Josh Hancock.
Nicky Adams brings bundles of experience for the Boro, as the former EFL journeyman played for 7 different football league clubs, including Bury on 3 separate spells. Adams also won League One with Leicester and has been promoted out of League Two three times.
The Saints were backed by an excellent crowd against Hartlepool on Tuesday night and Gavin Cowan's men are going to need you again this Saturday.
