Arun and Jack preview this one for us...

This weekend we look to build upon our cup victory against Coventry United as we host Ashby Ivanhoe at The Haydon Whitham Stadium.

Saturday's fixture is a notable one for the club as it is the league debut of new gaffer Brett Whaley, an experienced manager of whom has had success at a handful of clubs having managed over 700 non-league games.

Whaley is no stranger to Deeping as he returns after an 18 year absence from the club formerly filling up the assistant manager position in 2006 and hopefully he can turn our season around and score us our first league win.

Our visitors, Ashby Ivanhoe (The Knights), have only won 2 points this league season so, similarly to us, they’re still searching for their first league victory of the season. The Knights sit in 18th on the same number of league games (6) with only 2 points so a win could boost us out of the relegation zone and claim their 18th spot.

Alike ourselves, Ashby Ivanhoe have had some cup luck making it one stage further than ourselves in the FA Cup meaning they have won ⅔ of their cup fixtures this season. However, they’re on a 4 match losing streak with the most recent being a 4-1 away defeat at the hands of Belper United.

Come On You Rangers!
