AFC Fylde camp happy to be back home
Craig Mahon has warned AFC Fylde of the challenge ahead as they prepare for two National League North home matches in the space of four days.
Having surrendered top spot after South Shields’ midweek win over Oxford City, the Coasters welcome Buxton on Saturday before Macclesfield visit Mill Farm on Tuesday.
Fylde have won six of their last eight in all competitions, while 12th-placed Buxton go into today’s game after losing their last four matches.
Nevertheless, Mahon is guarding against any complacency as the second-placed Coasters look to overhaul the leaders.
Fylde’s head coach told the club’s media team: “Really looking forward to it, it’s nice to be back at home in front of our fans.
“I feel like I repeat myself every week because you know it’s going to be a tough game.
“Any manager in this league will tell you there’s no gimmes, there’s no team that you think ‘we can just turn up and win’. You can’t.
“Buxton have been on a bit of poor form from their standards lately, but that’s sometimes the worst time to play a team because they’re due a win or they might step up their game to try and get something from it.
“We got someone to watch them last week, so we have an idea of what they might do, but we always focus on ourselves more than anything else – and how we can be better and how we can go about winning the game.
“We’re in a good place, we’ve got lads raring to go and it should be a good one.”
