Boreham Wood vs Northwich Victoria FC - Garrard wary of Northwich's prolific form

Posted Monday, November 16, 2015 by PA

Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard is wary of the goal threat posed by FA Cup opponents Northwich ahead of their first-round replay clash on Monday.

Garrard named an unchanged team as the Wood played out a goalless draw with Chester on Saturday and he must decide whether to shuffle his pack for the encounter with Victoria, who have been in fine form since holding Boreham Wood to a 1-1 draw last weekend.

Garrard told his club's official website: "Northwich Victoria arrive having scored 11 goals since we met them just over a week ago.

"We will not be underestimating the task in hand and will simply be looking to get the job done to earn the right to play Northampton on December 5."

Northwich will head into the match full of confidence after Saturday's 5-1 victory over New Mills saw them return to the top of the Evo-Stik First Division North table.

Vics boss Jim Gannon could opt to stick with the side that inflicted the heavy defeat on New Mills, but he has options should he wish to shuffle his pack.

Joshua Amis, Gary Burnett and Abou Sanogo were among the scorers at the weekend and they will be hoping to keep their places in the team.

Jordan Williams and Brian Summerskill were rested against New Mills and could play some part.
