Carlton entertain Consett, their third game in seven days as the league starts to take shape. Honours even last season between these two sides each taking the home victory 2-1 and for Carlton, that victory was the one which assured them of their play off spot. That game also saw the save of the season from Felix Annan. (Check out Consett’s X feed from April, it’s amazing!)
Consett finished mid table last season and are there again at present with only two wins this campaign. Both those however have been in the last three games so a trend upwards for the Steelmen after a poor start, they are unbeaten in the league in September and early October.
Carlton should have beaten Liversedge last time at home but any point in this division should be valued and three more were won midweek against in form Grimsby Borough. So, two sides meet with identical form in recent weeks. Should be a good one.
