We advance into the final ten games of this Vanarama National League season with a home fixture against AFC Fylde on Tuesday evening (7.45pm kick-off).
Adam Hinshelwood’s reign as City boss did not get off to the ideal start on Saturday, as we fell to a 3-2 defeat at home to Wealdstone, with Billy Chadwick’s brace not enough to take anything from the game.
Results elsewhere mean the Minstermen now occupy the final relegation spot, but three points on Tuesday night could move us into safety.
Fylde visit the LNER Community Stadium in good form, having picked up seven victories from their last eleven league fixtures, including Saturday’s 4-1 triumph over Maidenhead.
Despite their decent record of late, they rank only three points higher than City in the table.
