The Farm are back on the road this Saturday with Exmouth Town the end destination. From Jack Davies’ preview to all the matchday details you’ll need, this guide has everything to keep you fully informed ahead of the fixture.
Jack’s Preview:
Exmouth Town v Bristol Manor Farm – Saturday 15 March, 3pm.
Manor Farm makes the long trip south to Exmouth as they look to return to winning ways. Injuries and suspensions have plagued Farm for much of the season, and the current crop of both is leaving them very light. Despite the setbacks, Farm managed to pull off a magnificent win away to Tavistock in their last away game but were unable to build on that last weekend. Farm even received a psychological boost this week, learning they will be taking Cinderford’s place in the GFA Cup final.
Exmouth is also in difficult recent form, though their run since the turn of the year has been very impressive overall. Unbeaten throughout January, it was a very happy new year for the men from Southern Road, though they come into this one without a win in three. Tom Bath carries the bulk of the home side’s threat, as proven by his brace in their last outing against Cinderford.
Manager Lee Lashenko looks ahead to Saturday’s trip down to Exmouth Town.
The biggest attraction to this place is the togetherness of the Farmy Army. When you can hear the vocalness and support it helps give you confidence and builds resilience. It’s been a clear week and we’re looking to bounce back.
