Like Ossett in our previous match, we enter the third game of the season against our opponents with both sides having picked up a victory apiece in the previous two games. The Lilywhites won the first encounter 2 – 1 at the tail end of 2007 (little knowing that it was to be our last win for two and a half months) while the second meeting last month wasn’t quite as close - Bridlington inflicting a slightly embarrassing 5 – 2 home defeat on us.
If you scroll down this page (or click the relevant link in the side bar – it should be obvious which one) you’ll find an overview of Bridlington’s recent match with Woodley Sports. If you can’t be bothered (which I assume will be everybody reading this) what it basically says is that Brid are a nice passing side with a fair amount of creative players spread amongst their line-up.
Happily for Mossley however, their major failing appears to be in front of goal where they appear to possess all the incisiveness and eye for goal of... well, us really. Granted, it’s an opinion formed on the basis of just this one match but as such trifling matters like that don’t stop professional pundits, so it’ll not stop me either.
Prediction: As I'm not going, a nailed on win for Mossley. Something which I hope will be confirmed in the numerous calls to Bridlington I'll be making from the Tameside sand trap this Saturday, where I'll be watching Clitheroe put a further dent in Curzon's title aspirations.
