“We want to play and they like to press”: Craig Mahon's message for AFC Fylde players
Craig Mahon anticipates an exciting match ahead as AFC Fylde face another of National League North’s promotion hopefuls this afternoon.
Mahon’s table-topping Coasters travel to fourth-placed Kidderminster Harriers, having seen their lead at the top cut to one point after South Shields’ midweek win over Peterborough Sports.
As well as a fourth consecutive league win, three points would also mean a league double over former Fylde boss Adam Murray after a 2-1 victory at Mill Farm in August.
Mahon told Fylde’s media team: “We’ve looked back at that game, we’ve looked back at other games for ourselves and what Kiddy have done – and I think we’re going to be in for an entertaining game.
“We want to play and they like to press, so we have to be good on the ball, we have to be secure, we have to make sure we do the right things and not be sloppy.
“We’ve trained really well this week, it’s been great to get the lads in and we’ve got our game plan going into the weekend.”
Today’s game kicks off a four-match run in the space of a fortnight with Chorley visiting Mill Farm on Boxing Day before trips to Radcliffe (December 30) and Bedford Town (January 3).
“We’re in a good position, we’re enjoying our football at the moment,” Mahon added.
“It’s just one game at a time. One game doesn’t define your season and regardless of where we are now or where we could be, it all matters at the end of the season.”
