Bedford Town vs Wealdstone FC preview

National League Wealdstone FC travel to The Eyrie for the Eagles’ seventh pre-season friendly so far. This is becoming a regular fixture between the two sides as both teams have met a lot in pre-season friendlies recently.

Bedford Town will be looking to bounce back after a 0-6 loss to Hemel Hempstead Town on Wednesday. This is the second fixture against a Step 1 team. The last game resulted in a 0-4 loss to a strong Barnet FC side.

The defence will look to sharpen up after shipping six earlier this week. The attack will want to create more chances. Connor Tomlinson will be at the heart of this as he displayed himself well on Wednesday despite the score line. He created lots of chances and looked very energetic. Other forwards like Tyrone Lewthwaite, Liam Brooks and Craig Mackail Smith also looked strong and will want to make an impact against Wealdstone.

Elliot Duffy put in a shift on Wednesday and will look to do the same again. He has been performing very well in pre-season and is definitely showing his potential. Sam Warburton has been ever present in the full back position throughout pre-season and will be defending against the dangerous Wealdstone wingers.

The stones have been on the rise lately and were promoted to the National League in the 2019/20 season as they won the National League South. The Wealdstone fans and players are making the 51-mile trip from Ruislip for this game but that is just a warm up for away travels next season. They will be travelling to places like Gateshead and Torquay in the 22/23 season!

Wealdstone had a friendly against EFL Championship club Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday. Queens Park Rangers ran out 2-8 winners but there were plenty of positives to take out of it! They narrowly lost to Charlton Athletic u23 about a week ago after they suffered a 0-1 loss.

Wealdstone also recently signed striker Olufela Olomola from Hartlepool. This is a great piece of business by the stones as he has some experience in the National League and in League Two. They also signed another striker Jordy Mongoy and winger Malachi Napa in the last few weeks.

This will be an interesting affair but Wealdstone will be the favourites for this tie. Quick reminder that this game is a 1pm kick off! Best of luck to both teams!
