Bernard McNally column: AFC Telford face a testing festive run
AFC TELFORD bowed out of the FA Trophy but at least they finally played! That would have been good for match sharpness before Christmas.
Rob Edwards’ men went almost a month without playing and you do get concerned with what impact that could have on fitness.
The Bucks head to Brackley on Saturday, who are always a difficult side, with a decent budget, and this season in particular they are flying in second.
You then have the Kidderminster double-header to look forward to. These are two very big games.
I see a tough period ahead but you hope the side can gel themselves together and come away with some good points from the festive period.
Players and fans love football around Christmas. I always enjoyed playing and managing around that time.
There’s magic and tradition about it, it makes clubs at Telford’s level feel in touch with the top flight as everyone plays at the same time.
