Banbury United aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 209 league minutes without a goal. Elliott-Wheeler was the last player to find the net.
There might be some fixture complaints from Banbury as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-3 against Scarborough Athletic. Banbury United did not look prepared in the first half against Scarborough Athletic and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Spennymoor Town.Banbury United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
A new game in only four days for Banbury, the Vanarama National League North home match versus Chester. Busy days.
It's early days yet, but Banbury United has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
