After a disappointing result against Woking, attention now turns to Halifax Town this Saturday.
The defeat to Woking was Dave Challinor’s side first loss of the season and the Coasters will be looking to right their wrongs as they travel to forth placed Halifax Town.
A red card for midfielder Ryan Croasdale in his last outing sees him absent from the squad.
The Opposition
Name: FC Halifax Town
Form: DLWWW
Nickname: The Shaymen
Ground: The Shay
League Position: 4th
The Shaymen will be looking to continue their 100% record at The Shay this season.
Despite their home form, Halifax have proven inconsistent, picking up just a point from the available six in the away games at Wrexham and Aldershot.
Midfielder Niall Maher will be absent from the side with a hamstring injury, but Josh MacDonald may feature after a spell on the sidelines.
One to Watch
Tobi Sho-Silva
A striker who signed from Dover Athletic over the summer alongside Jamie Allen who returned to his native north.
In 2013 Sho-Silva played alongside names such as current Liverpool star Joe Gomez at Charlton Athletic, taking in loan spells at Welling United & Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
He joined Bromley on a permanent deal in 2016 then Dover in 2017.
He had loan spells at Chelmsford City and scored an impressive five goals in 10 matches while on loan at Margate. Sho-Silva got off the mark with his goal in Halifax’s 2-0 win over Hartlepool.
