Match Preview

The first team travel to Scraley Road to take on Heybridge Swifts in the Ryman North. This just two weeks after playing and beating them at The Wardale Williams Stadium.

AFC Manager will be expecting something more from his players than on Saturday when they suffered a rare away heavy defeat at the hands of Thurrock. Hopefully the long dressing room talks after the match will have the desired effect.

Stefano Mallardo comes into the squad in place of James Axcell and the game sees the final one of Jordan Blackwell's three match suspension but Ryan Henshaw misses it through a one match ban.
