Solihull Moors travel to face Wealdstone in a key National League fixture this Tuesday, 27 October. The match at Grosvenor Vale kicks off at 19:45 and represents a key opportunity for the Moors to arrest a slide that has left them 23rd in the table with just seven points from 14 games. They are 31 points behind leaders Boreham Wood and have lost their last two league matches, most recently a 2-1 defeat to Carlisle on Friday. Their record this season stands at two wins and a draw from those 14 outings, with their recent form showing two wins and three losses from the last five games.
Current standings
Wealdstone occupy 18th place with 15 points, giving them an eight-point cushion over the Moors ahead of this Round 15 encounter. Solihull's position is precarious, with a goal difference of minus 23 after conceding 37 times and scoring only 14. The full standings show the scale of the task facing the squad.
Recent form
Form lines for the two sides contrast sharply. Wealdstone have won three of their last five, including a 3-0 victory over Worthing and a 1-0 win against Aldershot Town. Solihull Moors' recent record is more concerning, with heavy losses to Worthing (5-0) and Kidderminster Harriers (2-1) punctuating their schedule. Their last win in the National League was over a month ago. Ben Wodskou's late first-half goal against Carlisle offered brief hope last time out, but second-half strikes from the visitors sealed another defeat. The club's injury list remains a concern, with midfielder Callum Maycock ruled out for several more weeks. The recent 2-1 loss at Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday 17 October was part of a sequence that has seen them lose their last two matches.
Team news
The Moors' last starting lineup featured Metcalfe in goal, with a defence of Warren, French, Whitmore and Carson. Andrews, Rutherford and High were in midfield, supporting attackers Sbarra, Tiensia and Wakeling. Wealdstone's most recent side included Baptiste and Cook in defence, with the experienced Newton and Conroy also involved. Wealdstone report a fully fit squad, while Solihull are still without defender Kyle Morrison.
The fixture
A positive result at Grosvenor Vale would provide a vital boost before the next round of games. The reverse fixture earlier in the season ended in a 1-1 draw at Moors' home ground. Match officials for the game have been confirmed, with James Durkin appointed as the referee. The team will be looking to improve on a recent run that includes a win over Everton U21 and a victory against Newcastle United U21, but also a loss to FC Halifax Town.
