Saturday’s visit to Tamworth will be the first away game in charge for manager Josh Gowling.

Quakers drew his first league game against Gloucester, and lost the second in the Cup last Saturday against Scarborough, but there were clear signs of improvement.

Quakers are looking for their second away league win, after beating Alfreton earlier in the season, and also for their first goal in open play under their new manager.

They also won on the last occasion they playedon the 3G at the Lamb, by 3-0 in the FA Cup.

Here's what Josh thinks about the game:

Team news:

Mitchell Curry and Adriano Moke are both hoping to be fit.

New signing Jonny Ndangu, a midfielder from Stratford, is included in the squad.

Kaine Felix has been transferred to Peterborough Sports for an undisclosed fee.
