Gavin Cowan warns Bucks must improve despite winning run
Boss Gavin Cowan has warned his AFC Telford United side need to be better in order to extend their winning run to four matches by beating Spennymoor tomorrow.
The Bucks need another win to make it 12 points from a possible 12 over the Christmas and New Year period after two wins against Nuneaton and victory over Leamington.
Cowan said his players were left with plenty to work on following their comeback win at bottom side Nuneaton on Tuesday.
A fourth straight league win, in what sees fourth welcome fifth in the standings, would be the Bucks’ best National League North streak of the season so far.
The boss said: “Make no mistake, we need to be better.
“We need to be better against Spennymoor, but we’re at home and we fancy ourselves at home against anyone.
“The good thing about getting away with the win at Nuneaton – well, I say getting away with it, I think we deserved the win – is that there’s a lot of opportunities to learn.
“We came away with the three points despite not being at our best, so it was an opportunity to learn without being damaged.”
When asked if the habit of winning while not at their best was the sign of a good team, the Bucks chief replied: “It’s that saying, upgrading the software without damaging the hardware.
“It was sort of that at Nuneaton.”
Cowan has a decision to make between the sticks after this week’s transfer business saw a change in loan goalkeeper.
Max Bramley returned to parent club Leicester City and the Bucks swooped to bring in young Stoke City shot-stopper Josef Bursik, 18.
England under-19 keeper Bursik comes highly-rated after a promising loan spell at Northern Premier outfit Hednesford Town.
Bramley lost his place in the Telford team to local lad and boyhood fan Andy Wycherley, who has played every match since breaking into the team in late October,
