AFC Fylde players can always learn from losing after midweek defeat
Craig Mahon has reiterated there is no cause for alarm as AFC Fylde look for a return to winning ways this afternoon.
The Coasters travel to Leamington, having lost top spot in National League North after Tuesday’s defeat at South Shields.
That saw Fylde’s hosts leapfrog them at the summit, moving two points clear with 12 matches of the season still to play.
Mahon’s players now face a Leamington team at the foot of the table, 13 points from safety and with only five league wins all season.
He told the Coasters’ media team: “I don’t think there’s too much to dwell on (from) the other night.
“We showed the lads some of the analysis and we don’t need to change, we don’t need to panic, we don’t need to think anything different.
“I was really happy with a lot of the stuff I saw the other night and if we can bring that into Saturday, it’ll be a positive for us.
“You learn from losing. The last six games, when everything’s going well and you score 25 goals and (keep) three clean sheets, you don’t get a lot from those games because the lads have done so well.
“When you do lose a game, you take a step back, you look at what you could have done better.
“Losing is a really good thing because you learn and that’s what we’ve got to do.
“We’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing. It’s worked well for us so far and long may it continue.”
