The Iron take on fifth placed Nuneaton Town at the Amlin
stadium on Thursday night, where a win could take them into the playoff places
with games in hand over their rivals. On the back of a 2-0 away win at Welling
United thanks to two goals from Captain Kenny Davis on Tuesday night, Braintree
return to Essex in high spirits and with a top five position in their sights.
Nuneaton’s unbeaten run of four games came to an end against
Grimsby Town on Saturday when they lost against their playoff rivals 1-0, and
they will be looking to bounce back at the Amlin on Thursday. However, the Iron
will be looking to stop this from happening and build their own run having won
their last two games. Since returning after a winter layoff, Braintree have
propelled themselves up the league, having only being beaten by Lincoln City in
their last ten games.
The opposite fixture finished all even in October, with
Matthew Paine handing the Iron the lead before Theo Streete equalised and
finished the scoring. Last season, Braintree picked up four points in the games
against the ‘Boro with a 2-2 draw at home and emphatic 4-2 win on the road.
With great momentum in the last two months and a chance to
take up a position in the top five, the Iron are hoping to be roared on by a
strong home crowd before taking to the road for three away games.
