MATCH PREVIEW: The longest day
Reds will spend most of Saturday on the motorway network as they venture into Leicestershire for their first ever meeting against Quorn.
The longest journey of the season comes on the back of Tuesday’s trip to Warrington, where Billy Barr’s threadbare squad obtained a point against Town in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
It will be another side cobbled together from those fit enough to travel, in what will be a difficult afternoon against a team just finding a run of form.
They are currently 18th in the Premier Division table and are beginning to find their feet after a difficult start. A bit like Reds at the moment, they are scoring plenty of goals but conceding too many.
Ryan Beswick, a thorn in our side during his Solihull days, is the manager of Quorn and he is now adapting to the coaching side of the game after a distinguished career representing several teams in central England.
They drew 2-2 with Ashton United in midweek, having been two down at one point, and last Saturday emerged impressive winners at Bamber Bridge.
Quorn were transferred from the Southern League Premier Division Central in the summer after finishing a commendable 8th in that Division. They are out of the FA Cup but still in the Trophy.
Venue: Farley Way Stadium, Quorn.
