Quakers looking for their fourth straight win
By Ray Simpson
...but Wilson is out for the season
We are looking for our fourth straight win when we go to fourth bottom Guiseley on Easter Monday.
We have won our last three matches against FC United, Boston and Bradford PA, scoring seven goals in the process and not conceding any.
However, we’ll be going to Guiseley without striker Wilson Keeshaw, who needed hospital treatment on an achilles injury, while midfielder Romal Palmer will have a fitness test.
Guiseley are fourth bottom of the table, and battling against a second successive relegation. They need to beat us to stay clear of Ashton United and FC United, who are four points behind on the same games.
If you’re not coming to the game, then follow it on Darlo Fans Radio, the official website and official Twitter
