 WhiteBallProject Man of the Match

 

Ryan Ludlam - A steady performance on a day when Ilkeston's attackers lost their scoring boots.

 

 Post Mortem

 

Ilkeston Town will look on this game as two points lost despite the fact for a fair amount of the game Prescot looked the better team. Their touch was better and they were better in the tackle. However Ilkeston had the better chances and the three new players Gill, Muller and Smith were surprisingly of missing relatively easy chances when all three were clear on goal. Prescot on the other hand only had long range efforts and never really troubled Scott in the Robins goal.

 

Ilkeston face Marine on Tuesday who will be smarting from their defeat today at home to Blyth Spartans. Three points will be a real bonus as Marine are one of the top teams in the league.

 

Barry Miller will be available on Tuesday and it will be interesting to see who Nigel Jemson plays to partner him at the back. Up front Mark Smith may get a chance to start as the Robins are at home but again who will make way for him.
