Sandbach return to action on Saturday with a trip to Doncaster, following a three week break for the festive period. They will hope to continue a decent little run they had going, before the mid-season breather, which has seen them go down just twice in the last eight games. They don’t have much of a record though against the Phoenix and will certainly be looking to put that right. Having had a red card in both of their last games against them, they were perhaps a little unfortunate in this regard. Particularly when one considers that their penalty count is in single figures for virtually all their games of far this season. Sandbach know that Donny are a well organised outfit, who like to put pace on the game and play in an open style at the wide Castle Park Stadium. Accordingly, Sandbach will need to avoid giving them to much space and will look to impose their own kind of game, to ensure they keep their recent run of form going.
