ALL fans will feel deflated at the loss of Steve Kabba back to Crystal Palace, but there is still an important bottom of the table clash going on at the Brittania Stadium on Saturday against Stoke.

The Bottom Line | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Town really need to avoid defeat on Saturday. If Stoke win they will be four points above us and leave a bigger gap between ourselves and the safety line. If Town win, they will be two points better off than the Potteries.

Last Time Out | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The last time the two sides met was way back in the 1997 relegation season when the Mariners fell to a 3-1 defeat at the Victoria Ground. Steve Livingstone was the Mariners scorer that day, whilst the Stoke goals came from a Southall own goal, Kavanagh and Griffin. Stoke finished 12th that season, the Mariners 22nd. The only two Town players who played that game and will play on Saturday are Steve Livingstone and John Oster.
Town Team: Love, Fickling, Shakespeare, Rodger, Southall, Widdrington, Appleton, Livingstone, Woods, Mendonca, Oster. Stoke Head-to-Head (86th on The Opposition Ladder).
