THE OPPOSITION
Bromsgrove Sporting currently sit 16th in the league with seven wins, three draws and ten losses. The Rouslers’ last win came in an impressive 3-0 home win against Kettering Town, but they conceded five against Quorn in their following fixture, which shows their defensive vulnerabilities.
Manager Scott Adey-Linforth will be looking for his side to pick up points, which will move them further away from the relegation zone. The club’s joint top goal scorers, Kobe Hall and Billy Shaw, both scored in their recent outing against AFC Sudbury, so they’ll remain a threat in Saturday’s fixture.
