Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Altrincham Preview

Altrincham Predicted Line-up: Ethan Ross; Eddy Jones, Lewis Baines, James Jones, Lewis Banks; Alex Newby, George Chester Wilson, Elliot Osborne, Tom Crawford; Joe Nuttall, Matty Kosylo

Altrincham head into this match looking to get back to winning ways. Their back-to-back losses against Manchester United’s under 21s and Aldershot Town will not be what they would’ve wanted. They’re 10th in the league with 27 points from their opening 19 games. They’ve won seven, drawn six and lost six whilst being 14 points behind York.

When it comes to standout players, forward Regan Martyn Linney has scored nine goals and registered four assists so far this season. The 27-year-old has arguably been the best player and will be a threat for York to watch out for heading into this one.

York City Predicted Line-up: Harrison Darren Male; Adam Crookes, Callum Howe, Malachi Fagan-Walcott, Joseph Rabole Felix; Tyrese Sinclair, Alex Hunt; Ricky Aguiar, David Ajiboye, Marvin Jonnie Armstrong; Ollie Pearce

York have been superb this season. Adam Hinshelwood has proven that he has the qualities to manage at the highest level in non-league, off the back of a hugely successful time at Worthing. This season, now with many of the most successful players at his former club, Hinshelwood has York top of the National League with 41 points from their opening 19 games. Yes, it is tight at the top, with Forest Green also on 41 and Barnet on 40, but York have shown great spirit in the National League so far.

When it comes to standout players, forward Ollie Pearce (another Worthing recruit) is the current top goal scorer in the National League so far. He has 12 goals and four assists in 19 league games and will be a huge difference maker for them come the end of the season.
