Our interest in the FAT turned out to be as brief as actually possible, and with our participation in both national cup competitions now over, it is back to the regular challenge of the league. A familiar opponent up next in Warrington Rylands who also exited the FAT at the first attempt. Rylands of course pipped Reds to the NPL West title in April 2022 by a single point. Their first season in NPL Premier saw them finish 10th with 60 points from their 42 matches.
Rylands are 3rd with 20 points from 9 games
Reds are 6th with 18 points from 10 games
Rylands at home 3-0-1
Reds away 1-0-3
Recent Rylands results:
6 Oct Avro 4-0 Rylands (FAT3QR)
30 Sept Macclesfield 2-1 Rylands (FAC3QR)
26 Sept Rylands 1-0 FCUM
23 Sept Matlock 2-4 Rylands
16 Sept FCUM 0-4 Rylands (FAC2QR)
9 Sept Whitby 1-3 Rylands
2 Sept Rylands 1-0 Stockton Town (FAC1QR)
28 Aug Macclesfield 1-1 Rylands
26 Aug Rylands 2-0 Morpeth
22 Aug Rylands 2-0 Ashton Utd
19 Aug Atherton Collieries 1-1 Rylands
15 Aug Stafford 0-2 Rylands
12 Aug Rylands 0-4 Radcliffe
Due to their interest in cup competitions, this is Rylands' first league game since 26 Sept. Although only 3 of their previous 6 matches have been league fixtures, they are on a roll of 3 league wins from 3. In fact their solitary league defeat occurred on day one of the season v Radcliffe. They are subsequently 8 matches unbeaten in the league.
Reds have only 1 away win from 4 trips so far in the league, but that was their most recent away fixture at Bradford PA on 23 Sept.
Rylands overall since 1 Sept 5-0-2
Reds overall since 1 Sept 5-0-2
On paper this looks like a tricky midweek trip for Reds, and they will need to play well to bring anything back. Let's hope that's the case.
Come on you Reds
