Fresh off the back of a 3-2 win against Salisbury at the weekend, Chris Agutter’s side play their first of three games in hand over the current league leaders Dorking Wanderers this evening. The Rebels also have three games in hand over Eastbourne Borough (2nd), but the Sports are in action tonight, taking on Maidstone United.
Since the Rebels faced Farnborough in the reverse fixture this season, they have lost just one of their 14 league matches. With ten wins in that time, the team’s fantastic run has seen them challenging at the top of the table, knowing that their destiny is now very much in their own hands.
Team News
Nicky Wheeler is a doubt for tonight’s match after being substituted with a knock on Saturday afternoon.
Liam Nash is another who Chris Agutter will have to monitor carefully despite coming on to score a brace on Saturday. The forward has been managing a groin injury sustained in the first half at Slough.
Sam Beard is one that will definitely miss out, as he continues to serve his suspension.
View from the Camp – Chris Agutter
“It will be a tough game. We dropped points at their place where they were pretty solid and set up in a block and made things difficult for us.
“They’ve got a lot of good players and on their day they can take points off anyone, so I think their league position is a bit false in that regard.
“I’d love to get a big following down here on Tuesday night. If we can get even more supporters than we have done the last two Tuesday nights then that will give us a very good chance against a strong Farnborough side.”
The Opposition
By contrast to Worthing, since the reverse fixture back in November, Farnborough have won just three of their following 14 matches. It’s a run of form that has seen the Yellows drop outside of the playoffs, to 11th in the league standings.
However, their form has seen an upward trend of late, with two of those three victories coming within their last five matches. They are unbeaten in their last three, too, and last time out, they came from two goals behind to salvage a point against the current league leaders Dorking Wanderers.
