It's early days in the Non League Div One: Northern South and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ilkeston Town and Spalding United.
Ilkeston Town form and stats
Ilkeston Town have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Non League Div One: Northern South. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Ilkeston Town are returning here after visiting Chasetown in a Non League Div One: Northern South game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Before that, Ilkeston Town drew at home versus Belper Town.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Frickley Athletic in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ilkeston Town here at New Manor Ground in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). As for guarding their own goal, Ilkeston Town have only let in 1 goal at home.
Spalding United form and stats
Spalding United are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Non League Div One: Northern South, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss). It's a growing despair in Spalding United as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Non League Div One: Northern South home defeat versus Market Drayton Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Lincoln United's place.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Spalding United manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Stocksbridge Park Steels.
2 goals so far away for Spalding United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
