What We're Saying

After our draw with Leek Town, Michael Connor said:

“I thought we defended brilliantly as we've tried a new formation to try and make ourselves as tight at the back as possible.

“Our new goalkeeper Alex Walpole has come in today and made two or three really good saves and we've had chances at the other end today.”
