Macclesfield town will go into this
weekend’s match with Alfreton, hoping 3 points would move them into a play-off
place.
The silkmen should not underestimate the
Vanarama conference strugglers as they look to kick start their season at the
Moss Rose.
Alfreton’s record away from home should
give Macclesfield confidence as they have only won 2 games and lost 8 out of
10.
Macclesfield Town welcome back club captain
Paul Turnbull back from suspension, while they also could have Chris Holroyd
available back from injury after they both missed the 0-0 draw against Welling
United last weekend.
The only main casualty for the silkmen is
young midfielder Paul Lewis who is still a few weeks away from being match fit,
following fracturing his collarbone in the FA cup match at Wrexham.
Alfreton Town hope to include new signings
Cliff Byrne who joined them non contract this week and also 21 year old goal
keeper Sam Johnson who joined them from Port Vale on a month’s loan.
Alfreton hope to recall striker Karl Hawley
from a 3 match suspension, while defender Lathaniel
Rowe-Turner misses the game through a one game suspension
