Bucks Boss More Than Happy To Wave Goodbye To January!

Rob Edwards accepts the next few weeks could be crucial to AFC Telford United’s season.

A wretched start to 2018 has seen the Bucks begin the new year with four defeats from four games.

The latest came on Saturday, where they fell just short against National League North title contenders Harrogate Town as they slipped to an unlucky 2-1 defeat in Yorkshire.

Telford haven’t won since November and that form has seen the team slide to second from bottom of the league.

Edwards knows February will be a critical month for his side as they look to get things back on track.

An away game against fellow strugglers Southport is next up on Saturday, before they host basement boys North Ferriby United and then 20th place Curzon Ashton.

Tamworth, Spennymoor, FC United and Nuneaton all follow in a jam-packed month of football.

The manager said: “There are still so many games to come and you only have to look at our February schedule to see that.

“We’ve got a lot of games and coming up very soon are matches against sides around us in the table. They are huge for us.

“We haven’t lost faith just because we have been on a bad run. They are an honest bunch of lads who are giving their all.

“We’re not going to panic just because we have had a bad start to the year.”

Edwards added: “We may need to add one or two more players but we think if we keep working hard then we have every chance of remaining in the league.”
