Fylde down but not out says Spragg

Injuries and unavailability have continued to thwart Fylde’s efforts to field a full-strength side, though Spragg likes to rotate his team.

He explained: “I’m trying to look after a squad of 26 or 27, and if I’m selecting the same 20 for a matchday each week, I will have six or seven unhappy players on my hands.

“Horses for courses does come into it but a lot of my selections this season have been dictated by who is available.”

Spragg, who will be at The Woodlands tomorrow after missing the last two matches due to his commitments with the Sale Sharks Academy, praised the work done by deputies Alex Loney and Dan Orwin in his absence.

Ampthill are unbeaten in five, including two draws.
