Brackley Town travel to face Spalding United in the National League North on Tuesday night. The match at the Sir Halley Stewart Playing Field kicks off at 7:45pm.
Brackley sit 18th in the table with 15 points from 12 games. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five outings. They suffered a 3-2 away defeat to Hednesford Town last weekend but had secured a 2-1 home victory over Spennymoor Town the week before.
Recent results
Their last five matches show a pattern of fluctuating fortunes. After a 1-1 draw with Scarborough Athletic on September 26, they beat South Shields 3-2 at home. A 2-0 home loss to Chelmsford City in the FA Cup followed on October 3. The win against Spennymoor on October 10 was then followed by the narrow loss at Hednesford, where Freddie Roberts and Kieran Coates were on the scoresheet.
With 15 goals scored and 23 conceded this season, tightening up at the back will be a focus ahead of the trip to Lincolnshire. The team is nine points adrift of the league leaders, Macclesfield.
Looking ahead
First, Brackley have a home fixture against Radcliffe this Saturday. That match presents an immediate opportunity to climb the standings before the midweek trip to Spalding.
The club has not named a head coach in its official communications. Preparations for the Spalding game will continue after the Radcliffe fixture.
