Bernard McNally: Telford must refocus after heavy defeat
AFC Telford United had done brilliantly well before Saturday’s game at Darlington and maybe they got a bit caught up in that.
The 3-0 defeat at Blackwell Meadows will have knocked them down a peg or two – but that is not always a bad thing.
Sometimes you need a humbling loss. You feel frustrated for those couple of days afterwards but then you’re determined o come back even stronger, with more focus.
Gavin Cowan will have gone over that game, look at what went right and what went wrong, and they have a chance to respond in emphatic fashion at the New Bucks Head this weekend.
Stockport County, like Darlington, are a big club, big name.
And because of that, you expect them to be one of the top sides in the division but the Hatters have had a mixed start to the campaign.
For Telford’s sake, you just hope they don’t hit top gear on Saturday.
