FC Halifax Town travel to face Solihull Moors in a National League fixture this Saturday, October 3rd, at Damson Park. The match kicks off at 3pm local time as Halifax look to build on a league position of 15th, having taken 14 points from their opening 11 games.
Recent form
Halifax's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws and a loss from their last five outings. They drew 1-1 at home to Boston United last time out, with Calum Carty scoring an equaliser assisted by Max Bardell. Before that, they lost 2-1 at Worthing but secured away wins at Wealdstone and a home victory over AFC Hornchurch. The team's overall goal difference stands at plus two, having scored 16 and conceded 14.
Manager Chris Millington has highlighted the need for greater consistency in both boxes. Will Flint is expected to feature after returning to the side against Boston, while Max Bardell, who provided the assist in that game, continues at right-back following his summer signing. Goalkeeper True Grant has made important saves but his distribution remains a work in progress. Defender Shaun Hobson has been active in defence despite occasional errors. Midfielder Jack Hunter remains a key component in the engine room, with his set-piece delivery a noted threat.
Opponent outlook
Solihull Moors sit 23rd in the table and arrive with their own patchy form, having won one and lost three of their last five matches. They beat Woking 4-2 away last weekend but were thrashed 3-0 at home by Boreham Wood just days before. Their last starting lineup featured players like Jamey Sbarra and Josh Wakeling.
With striker Sam Johnson yet to score in ten appearances this season, Halifax will be looking for more cutting edge in attack. The match at Damson Park represents a chance for Halifax to climb the standings before the next international break. A win could see Halifax move into the top half of the table, depending on other results, while defeat would see them looking over their shoulder towards the relegation zone.
