Bernard McNally: This is a real must-win for AFC Telford

I see AFC Telford’s home clash with Leamington tomorrow night as a must-win game for the Bucks.

Leamington are just three points ahead and also fighting for their lives.

Their boss Paul Holleran has been around a while and knows the game.

He has been around at these levels and he’ll be saying to the visitors ‘look, there’s a heck of a lot of pressure on these, let’s put them under pressure’.

That may be a big advantage for Leamington. It’ll be a tough battle for Rob Edwards and the team. There is a lot of pressure at this stage of the season.

The Bucks played Thursday-Saturday last week and the same again this week. That is a big factor and a big ask on these players.

Clubs probably don’t have squads big enough to cope. If it is big enough then there probably isn’t the players up to the standard.

You always expect a win and a loss. The weekend’s trip to in-form Stockport looks really difficult.

Without a doubt if Rob’s men can win tomorrow night then they will take whatever happens on Saturday, they will suffer that.

Let’s hope they can turn out at the New Bucks Head and get the result. They need the points desperately.
