I’m fascinated by the dynamics of this game regarding how it feeds into the weekend. I would say the best outcome for us is a home win, keep Curzon hungry for a home playoff semi final so they go to Kidderminster with purpose AND demoralise Spennymoor to the point they’ve got a mountain to climb in order to get into the playoffs because mentally, with a Wembley final on the horizon, the players might check out. Not only that, if the manager realises playoffs are a long shot, he might decide to rotate on Saturday to protect his stars.
Not sure what their team usually is, but it looks like they’ve gone strong tonight. Let’s hope Curzon are the hungrier in front of their home crowd and for Spenny it’s a case of ‘after the lord mayors show’
