“All you can do is fix what’s ahead”: AFC Fylde seek a return to winning ways
Craig Mahon has praised his AFC Fylde players’ response in training this week as they target a return to winning ways today.
The Coasters welcome Chorley to Mill Farm (3pm), having lost to Kidderminster Harriers last weekend – and top spot in National League North with it.
Chorley beat Hereford last time out, ending a three-game winless run to sit 11th in the table; three points adrift of the play-offs.
Fylde’s head coach told the club’s media team: “I said to the lads after the game there’s no point sulking, moping, because you can’t change what’s happened.
“All you can do is fix what’s ahead and the lads have really shown a good attitude in training, exactly what we wanted.
“They want to give us a reaction for the other day but, even if we don’t go and do what we want to do, we’ve just got to keep going.
“One or two games doesn’t define a season. We’ve just got to keep working hard, keep doing what we’ve done from the start, keep believing in what we’re trying to achieve.
“I expect the lads to be fully up for it. Even if we had won last week, I’d expect the lads to show what they’re about and it’s a great opportunity to make another statement.”
Fylde have also confirmed their NLN clash with Peterborough Sports will now be played on Tuesday, January 13 (7.45pm).
The match at Mill Farm should have been played the previous Saturday, but was postponed with the Coasters in FA Trophy action against Hereford that day.
