Whitby Town Take Hebburn Trip

The Blues are looking to bounce back from defeat on Merseyside when they head north on Tuesday.

Gary Liddle's men lost 2-1 as Prescot Cables came from behind, in the second period, to cancel out Layton Watts' first-half free-kick, on Saturday.

They visit second-placed Hebburn, who are currently second in NPL Premier.

The Blues will hope to emulate last season's 6-2 victory at the Tyneside outfit.

Goalkeeper Shane Bland will miss out with a leg muscle injury, picked up in the weekend defeat.

The club have signed youngster Isaac Alan on loan from Premier League side Sunderland and he's set to debut.

Liddle told Whitby Town TV it'll be another hard encounter:

" Yeah. Another tough game obviously, and it just carries on the run of games that we're in. We're in a really tough run physically with games and I'm lucky that I've obviously been able to swap and change and manage that with certain people and it'll be no different come Tuesday.

"I'll have to have a look in at the walking wounded. It's obviously Blandy being the major concern. Other than that, I don't think there's any with any muscular injuries and they'll probably feel a little bit tired more than anything physically.

"But certainly, if we're to pick anything up at Hebburn, who are full of confidence at the moment and flying high, then we'll need to sustain good performances over a 90-minute period."

Kick-off is 7.45pm.

There's live commentary on This Is The Coast Extra.

You can hear from Watts and more from Liddle on the latest edition of The Codcast.
