HARROGATE Town boss Neil Aspin is looking to avoid a repeat of the performance at Nuneaton when they travel to Kettering Town on Saturday in a huge Nationwide North play-off six-pointer.

The caretaker manager is expecting to pick from the same squad that beat Redditch United 4-2 at Wetherby Road last weekend - and will be hoping to see them firing on all cylinders to see off level on points Kettering Town.

He said: "It's an important game for us. It will be a difficult game but, as I said when I first took over, we are a match for any other team in the division.

"We have had one poor performance, at Nuneaton Borough, but other than that we have played well. One thing is for certain, if we give another performance like at Nuneaton, it won't be good enough to beat Kettering."

Northern Counties East League division one contenders Tadcaster Albion will be without up to three key players this weekend against a tough Yorkshire Amateurs side.

Left-back Matt Cressey is long-term suspended, centre-half Greg Anderson unavailable and Mark Brady is also a doubt after picking up a knock at Parkgate last weekend but could yet be a late inclusion to the squad.

Reserve team left-back John Darton could get his chance to shine, while new arrival Simon Watson from Ossett Albion may also get a run-out.
