After an undistinguished early showing from his side in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at home to Buxton the Spartans’ assistant manager, Tom Wade, suggested his side needs a spark to jump start his team. “We started badly against Frickley last week and it was the same story against Buxton,” he said. “Being just below half way down the table I think some of the younger players have put some pressure on…
Reflecting on today’s 2-2 draw against Buxton, Spartans captain Wayne Buchanan felt that his side deserved credit for getting back into the game but also that they deserved more than just a point.

Spartans’ manager Paddy Atkinson thought his side weren’t on song on Saturday in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Frickley. It was indeed an off key performance in which neither side had the other dancing to their tune. “We actually deserved a point or more,” said Atkinson. “However we have to stop conceding poor goals and start taking our chances.
