Manager Paul Cox is hoping for a positive reaction from his players, when we make the short trip to face Matlock Town in an FA Trophy First Round Replay tomorrow night.Â
Our boss cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines on Saturday, as his team produced a sluggish display against their Evo-Stik Premier League counterparts.Â
Despite extending our unbeaten run to seven games, the Gladiators squirmed several gilt-edge chances to record what would have been a deserved cup shock.Â
Mark Stevenson and the Chad's John Lomas are asking the questions
âIâm not going to change my opinion. It was a poor performance from us and one that we now want to put to the back of our minds,â declared Cox, who was speaking earlier today.Â
He continued: âBut weâve got to be positive going into the next game. Iâm expecting a positive reaction from the boys and for us to put in a better performance.Â
âSometimes the pressure is off when you go away from home, but itâll be a tough game, similar to Slough. Weâve got to ensure we go there and adapt well to the conditions.âÂ
Defender John Dempster, who was sent-off in our aforementioned FA Cup game at Slough, could return to the team after serving his three-match suspension.Â
Our boss has also confirmed that he has no fresh injury worries ahead of tomorrow nightâs clash at Causeway Lane, which is scheduled to kick-off at 7.45pm.
Prices are:
Adults: ÂŁ9Â
Concessions: ÂŁ5.50 (Senior citizens and U16s)Â

Full match commentary will be provided by our online broadcasting station, Stags Player from 7.40pm.
The draw for the FA Trophy Second Round takes place this afternoon.
