Telford attack backed

AFC Telford United's goal-starved attack has been dubbed one of the best in the league.

Published

The Bucks went into today's final home game of the season seeking to beat Worcester City and secure their National League North future – but haven't scored in the last four games.

Connor McCarthy, John Cofie, Josh Wilson and Dave Hibbert have struggled and Telford's last goal came from McCarthy against Tamworth on March 26.

But Bucks centre back Graham Hutchison said: "There's nothing but absolute quality about what we've got in that area. Our attacking force is something to rival any other team in the league.

"It's just been one of those periods that all strikers go through where it hasn't happened for them. "But it's not just about them – everyone in the team needs to be chipping in, the midfield, myself, Mike Grogan and Curtis Tilt.

"We can't put everything on the forwards – just as we rely on them to help us keep clean sheets by being the first line of defence, we have to try to help them out as well."
