Match Preview – Bottesford Town (a)
25th March 2022The Swans are making the short trip to Birch Park to take on Lincolnshire neighbours Bottesford Town.
Following on from our midweek win over Albion, the Swans are looking to make it three wins in a week against 15th placed Bottesford.
Form
Barton have won three of their last five games, including two in a row against Thackley and Albion. Bottesford have lost their last five games, against some strong opposition. Two defeats to Winterton (2nd), as well as losses to Sherwood (4th) and Eccleshill (3rd).
| Swans | Grimsby Borough (a) L3-0 | Handsworth (a) W3-1 | Winterton (H) L4-0 | Thackley (H) W2-1 | Albion (a) W2-0 |
| Bottesford | Winterton (a) L2-0 | Winterton (H) L5-0 | Thackley (a) L3-2 | Sherwood (H) L3-0 | Eccleshill (a) L2-0 |
Who to Watch?
As you’d expect there’s a few ex-Swans in the Bottesford squad. Clay Bryant, Jack McMenemy, Joe Simpson. All capable of haunting Barton. Jack Cross and Mason Ellender up front are dangerous and pose goal threats.
Team News
Nathan Jarman is expected to shake up the team again this weekend. Taron Hare is still doubtful with an ankle problem, with Tom Davie still out with a leg problem. Josh Baker is expected to start after being benched in midweek.
