From the Dugout – Luke Garrard  

“I expect a reaction (against Macclesfield Town). Although the problem is, I get bored of saying that we are going to react, why not just march on?

“Why not be the team that says no, we are going to win, we are going to win, we are going to win.

“That is my frustration, because I look at the group and we should have more points on the board.

“The calibre of personnel that we have at our disposal is superb, we have got a great squad.

“I trust them, I believe in them, I believe in what we do as a management team and I believe in what we do as a football club.”
