NATIONAL LEAGUE NORTH PREVIEW: BUXTON FACE RUSHALL BACK AT HOME


UP NEXT:


We are back at home as we face Rushall on 7th September with a 3:00pm kickoff.

The Bucks


The Bucks go into this game after losing 1-0 to South Shields on Tuesday.


Following the loss manager John McGrath said:


"We were very dominant, especially first half. Our shape was good and we limited Shields to very little. But we failed to put our chances away, which is very frustrating.


"We look a capable side, playing good football,  but if you don't get on to the end of balls in the opposition box you don't win matches. We'll be looking at this in training, improving communication and positioning. I'm bitterly disappointed we didn't come away with at least a point but we have a chance to get back to winning ways at home to Rushall."


Buxton have made the signing of Finn Delap ahead of today’s game. Finn is a defender and worked under McGrath at Mickelover. He joins on a 2 month loan deal from Burton Albion.


Opposition
