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.Ā
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.Ā
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.Ā
Mark Stevenson and the Chad's John Lomas are asking the questions
āIām 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,ā declared Cox, who was speaking earlier today.Ā
He continued: āBut weāve got to be positive going into the next game. Iām expecting a positive reaction from the boys and for us to put in a better performance.Ā
āSometimes the pressure is off when you go away from home, but itāll be a tough game, similar to Slough. Weāve got to ensure we go there and adapt well to the conditions.āĀ
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.Ā
Our boss has also confirmed that he has no fresh injury worries ahead of tomorrow nightās clash at Causeway Lane, which is scheduled to kick-off at 7.45pm.
