WORCESTER City will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats when they host Vauxhall Motors in the Skrill Conference North at Aggborough on Sunday (March 23).
After two consecutive league wins, a depleted City side narrowly lost 2-1 at league leaders North Ferriby United, before an inexperienced line-up were defeated 2-0 by Redditch in the Worcestershire Senior Cup on Tuesday (March 18).
The game against The Motormen is the first of four crucial games which manager Carl Heeley labelled ‘season defining’. Following Saturday’s encounter Worcester host Stockport County and Histon before a trip to Leamington.
Maximum points from those games would all but guarantee survival for Heeley’s men and complete a fine turn-around for a club who found themselves in deep trouble at the turn of the year.
“We’ve got a massive week, playing Vauxhall, Stockport and Histon, all three home games,” he said. “That’s season defining for us and if we get a decent return from those games that will be us, that will be our season done.”
Vauxhall currently lie in 14th place in the table, just two places and one point above their opponents, and have only won one of their last six outings.
However, the last time the pair met, back in January, a solitary Shaun Tuck goal secured all three points for hosts in a 1-0 victory at Rivacre Park.
