Blyth Spartans form and stats
Blyth Spartans's struggle is real here at Croft Park with only 2 points collected from 6 Vanarama National League North games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-4. It's trouble wherever Spartans are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Spartans are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Brackley Town. Before that game, the home loss against Boston United with the scoreline 0-1.
The manager M. Nelson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Darlington in only two days.
