Bucks turn their attention to FA Trophy action against City Of Liverpool

UP NEXT:

We are back at home again in FA Trophy action against City of Liverpool.

The Bucks

The Bucks go into this game following a

2-1 loss against Farsley Celtic last week.

Both sides needed the game with 10 men with Diego De Girolamo getting sent off in the 53rd minute.

Following the loss manager Craig Elliott said:

"It was frustrating. For the first 40 minutes we were excellent, then two sloppy goals and the sending off made it very difficult. I can't believe that Diego was dismissed for what happened.

"We need to get injured players back and roll our sleeves up to play with confidence, hopefully, with some of those injured lads available to us again.

We've been throwing points away and that has to stop. I don't like losing football matches."
