The Bucks have gone four games without a win in National League North and have slipped to 16th.

"I seem to be saying the same things at the moment," said Edwards, whose charges have a chance to get back to winning ways as they host Tamworth on Tuesday night.

"We are dominating large periods of games, but not dealing well enough with when the ball comes into our box and not taking our chances at the other end.

"It's the same old story at the moment."

Alfreton went two up thanks to goals from Craig Westcarr and Tom Allan,

Elliot Newby replied for Telford before half-time but they could not find a leveller in the second half despite enjoying the majority of possession and having seven minutes of added-on time.

"In the first 10 minutes, we had four shots and thought we were playing rugby," said Edwards.

"They then took the first chance they had and the second chance they had.

"They were clinical, and that's what it comes down to."

He added: "We can play as well as we want and dominate as much as we want but if we don't win, it doesn't matter.

"It's about putting the ball in the back of the net and keeping it out of ours so, yes, I'm really frustrated."
