3-1 loss against City Of Liverpool in the FA Trophy at the weekend.


With 11 players out injured or suspend The Bucks made a signing bringing in William Bapaga who made a promising start to life with Buxton despite the result.


Following the loss manager Craig Elliott said:


"I'm disappointed to lose but fair play to our opponents, who ground out victory. Things are not going our way and we've got to get through it.


We can't get our best players out and we're on a frustrating run. The fans deserve better. They were fantastic and we were not. I will be working hard to sort it out.


"Not many players are due back and we have to look at trying to bring in new faces to help us out. Will Bapaga made an encouraging start."


The Bucks have added 3 more new faces as well ahead of tonight’s game.
