The Bucks


The Bucks go into this game following the 1-0 loss away at Warrington Town on Tuesday after conceding in the first minute.


Following the defeat manger Craig Elliott said:


"A big mistake for the goal, then we huffed and puffed for an equaliser and dominated the second half. But the home side worked hard.


We have to cut out giving away easy goals or we'll be chasing games. Anyway, I feel once we get our full squad back we should be alright.


"Our away fans were brilliant again and we look forward to showing them what we can do at home on Saturday. We owe them a victory. That's what football's about."


Opposition


Their manager is Adam Lakeland who got appointed in October 2021. He won promotion to the National League North with Farsley  Celtic.

One to Watch

The 28 year old striker has 1 goal in the first 3 games and played for Stoke and Everton in his youth.


Last time out


A Hancock double was the difference away from home in January as The Bucks lost narrowly 2-1 with Boden getting the goal for Buxton.
