After 10 days since out last outing, the Tigers return to action at the Project Solar Stadium this Saturday as we welcome Morpeth Town who make the journey down from the North East.

Last time out

Our last game was last Tuesday as we lost 3-2 at Matlock. Lewis Alessandra put us into an early lead, before the league’s top scorer Jonathan Margetts added to his impressive scoring tally with a first half hatrick. Hyde dominated the second half and got a goal back through Jack Redshaw but couldn’t force the equaliser. Our last home game was a 3-0 victory over Marske United two weeks ago.

Morpeth were 2-1 winners at home to Ilkeston Town, with Sam Hodgson scoring both goals. Morpeth’s last away game was a 3-0 victory at Stafford Rangers two weeks ago.

The visitors

Manager Craig Lynch has been in charge since September 2021, but has been on the coaching staff since 2018. During his first season in charge they equalled their best ever run in both the FA Cup and FA Trophy, and have finished 10^th and 17^th in the last 2 league campaigns.

Key threats to look out for are Andrew Johnson and Jack Foalle, who are both regular goal scorers at this level, and have experienced defenders in Jeff Henderson and goalkeeper Dan Lowson, who have been at the club for a number of years.

Our squad

Speaking after the Matlock game, Nick Spooner was happy to have the 10-day break in fixtures and will be hopeful to have some players back for the game from injury.

Nick will also be looking to be the first Hyde manager to beat Morpeth, as in our eight games against them in all competitions we have drawn three and lost five!

The reaction of the gaffer to the defeat at home to Whitby Town.

 

Nick Spooner has added to his midfield options by signing Shakeel Jones-Griffiths.

Shakeel signs from Prestwich Heys where he spent a short time after leaving Bury FC.  Shakeel came through the youth system at Bolton Wanderers where he was well known to the gaffer.  He has also spent time at Glossop North End and Congleton.

The gaffer said ”Shak is a player I have known since he was 11 years old as I coached him at Bolton, He will add energy to our midfield and I look forward to working with him again.”

We return to the Project Solar stadium to host Whitby Town on Tuesday 7^th November, kick off 7.45pm, continuing what is going to be a busy month of games for the Tigers.

Last time out

The Tigers recorded another victory on the road, a 2-0 win over FC United at Broadhurst Park. Goals from Lewis Alessandra and substitute Matt Fearnley combined with a resolute defensive performance secured a deserved three points.

Whitby were in FA Cup action away to League One side Bristol Rovers. Goals from Junior Mondal, and former Hyde striker Connor Simpson were not enough to progress, and they unfortunately lost 7-2 but great credit to them for reaching that stage of the competition.

Head to Head

We currently sit in 4^th place in the table, having played 14 league games this season and collecting 25 points, but having only played six games of those matches at home. With many home games this month, if we continue the good form, we can continue to challenge at the top end of the table. We are also second in the form guide over the last 10 league matches, with 21 points, only bettered by table topping Radcliffe.

Whitby have only played one league game since the end of September due to their FA Cup run, a 1-1 draw against Bradford Park Avenue. Having only played 10 league games all season, they will be hoping to capitalize on their games in hand and keep pace with those above them and move up towards the play off places. The visitors have also not tasted defeat on the road in the league this season, so will be a tough challenge for the Tigers. Whitby have a keen eye for goal, with 22 goals from only 10 league matches, and the goals are spread out amongst the forward line. On the other hand, they have conceded more goals (18) compared to our 15, having played fewer matches, so the Hyde defence should be a stern test for them.
