Guernsey aim to post their first point(s) on the board on Bank Holiday Monday as they pay a visit to Sutton Common Rovers.
Tom Dodds will be missing with a suspected fracture to his arm that forced him off at half-time in the defeat to Harrow Borough on Saturday, but Niall Hainsworth could slot in his place having got his first minutes of the season on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Josh Addison will move one game ahead of Callum Stanton to become the Green Lions’ second-highest appearing stopper after Chris Tardif.
Rovers have won one and lost one of their opening two league games. They were beaten by South Park in the extra-preliminary round of the FA Cup.
The Commoners have moved from Whyteleafe’s Church Road to Carshalton Athletic’s War Memorial Sport Ground. Having won all four previous meetings (including a last-kick win the season before), GFC were suckerpunched in this fixture last season, seeing an early lead turned into defeat with two goals in stoppage time. We got revenge with a late 4-2 win in the final game of 2023, but the away trip may still stick in the back of the mind. Their latest squad update confirmed three new arrivals and six outgoings after a relatively-comfortable 14th-placed finish in 2023-24.
Monday’s match kicks off at 3pm. Fans not travelling to the War Memorial Sports Ground can watch the game live on our YouTube channel (search for Guernsey FC), but only if they are based in Guernsey. The stream will not be available in the UK. Highlights will be uploaded to our YouTube and social media channels after the game, while there will be a full match report on the website.
