Town Club return to Humber Premier League action this weekend as they face bottom club East Riding Rangers.

Town will be looking to bounce back from their cup defeat last weekend and rediscover their scoring form against a side who are yet to register a win in seven league matches.

While Town have been playing well they have lacked a cutting edge in front of goal scoring just 12 goals all season, one less than their opponents Rangers who they face on Saturday.

With goals proving hard to come by, Jagger’s choices were further weakened by the departure of joint top scorer, Craig Muirhead, who put pen to paper signing for Barton.

The imminent return of will also give Jagger a boost when it comes to addressing the issues he is facing in the goal scoring department.

Town will start Saturday’s match as favourites as they look to bring to end a two game losing streak that as seen them fall down the table to tenth position.

East Riding Rangers have had a poor start to the season however their issue is not scoring goals, it is conceding goals, letting 25 from their opening seven games. Including an eight goal thrashing at the hands of Pocklington Town.
