UP NEXT:
We are on the road facing Southport on 31st August 2024 with a 3pm kickoff.
The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game after losing 2-1 on Bank Holiday Monday to Marine.
Following the loss manager John McGrath said:
"We conceded two sloppy goals and didn't get going until the second half. Those two goals for Marine before the break meant an uphill second half for us, but we looked completely different after the break, particularly early on, often on the front foot.
"The problem is that we're failing the be effective in the final third for a full 90 minutes. After Monday's result, the lads were gutted and everyone is eager to put things right for Saturday. We'll be working at it all week."
Opposition
The club finished 17th in the league last season.
They play their games at Big Help Stadium which has a capacity of 5414.
