Blyth (5-7-14, 22nd) vs Kidderminster (8-5-12, 18th)

At home, against a bottom half club, this is a chance to put the abomination of a few days earlier behind us. But can we? The pundits say no, we're 4:1 dogs at home. We'll go 4-4-2 Attacking to open.

GK: Knight
D: Kulsten, Jones, Sinclair, Groves
MF: Matondo, Morrison, Vipond, O'Connor

Bench: (Slaughter, Phillips, Clarke-Harris, Wedderburn, Dovey)

Halftime: Blyth 0 - Kidderminster 0
A busy first half, we were outshot 7-2 & only had 43% of poss but actually played pretty well. We just need to create more chances.

Fulltime: Blyth 2 - Kidderminster 0
Lobjoit works himself past the keeper & scores after a nice pass by Vipond at 53'. Nearly offside but no call.
Mole takes a penalty at 77' and calmly sticks it into the left side of the net, keeper never moved

Outshot 10-7 but we made ours count.

That was Lobjoit's first career goal for Blyth, after more than 400 minutes scoreless ... The win doesn't move us up in the table but does get us within three points of Newport Co (two in hand on us), Darlington (1 in hand) and Bath (same number played)
