FC Halifax Town are set to field an unchanged lineup for their National League clash with Tamworth at The Shay on Saturday. Manager Chris Millington is expected to keep faith with the same eleven players who started the midweek fixture.
Predicted lineup
True Grant will continue in goal after a solid midweek performance. The back four is likely to consist of Max Bardell, Will Flint, Shaun Hobson and a left-back, with the defensive unit showing early signs of cohesion. In midfield, the combination that worked last time out is set to be retained, providing energy and control. Up front, the attacking players will be tasked with breaking down a Tamworth side that has started the season strongly.
Grant's place comes after he recovered well from an earlier error, showing the resilience Millington values. New signings Bardell and Flint have integrated quickly, with Bardell praised for his reading of the game and aerial strength, while Flint has settled in smoothly. Hobson's start to the campaign has included some loose passes, but his defensive awareness and anticipation have been important assets for the team.
The match represents a chance for Halifax to build momentum at home. A positive result would be valuable as the club looks to climb the early standings.
Kick-off at The Shay is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday.
