Repeat performance will do nicely at Bangor

Bangor v TNS

VICTORIOUS at Farrar Road in the League Cup three weeks ago, the Saints would be more than happy with a repeat performance in the Welsh Premier on Saturday.

TNS were deserved 2-0 winners with goals from Steve Abbott and Jamie Wood against a near full-strength City side who were missing skipper Marc Limbert and central defender Dave Morley.
Limbert again misses out, this time through suspension after being sent-off in the midweek League Cup defeat of Newtown, while Saints have the majority of the squad fit and raring to go after playing without several regulars in recent games.
While back in training, Alex Darlington and Tommy Holmes are not yet ready to return, but there are plenty of options in midfield, leaving the management with selection headaches of the best kind.
One player anxious to get the nod is Chris Seargeant, who moved from Bangor in the summer but missed the trip to Farrar Road through injury.
City's early season form has been patchy, with an opening night defeat at Bala and a humiliating 5-1 reverse at arch-rivals Rhyl last week, so the Saints will be wary of a backlash from Nev Powell's men.
