Mills hoping to extend City’s proud away record

TACKLING in-form teams has become something of a habit for York City since returning to the Football League.

So far, the Minstermen have met two clubs sitting top of the division ahead of kick-off and another, Exeter City, who went into last Saturday’s clash at St James’ Park in second place.

On all three occasions, City emerged with a positive result after holding Morecambe and Exeter to draws while ending Oxford United’s 100 per cent start to the campaign with a 3-1 triumph.

Tonight’s trip to Burton Albion, who after last night’s round of games are sitting in mid-table, does not represent taking on one of the early pace-setters.

But as the Brewers are fresh from thumping Oxford 4-0 last Saturday, City are nevertheless in for a tough test. Not that Gary Mills is unduly concerned.
