"Burscough's visit to the Planet Conservatories Stadium on Saturday could mean plenty of goals.

"We went down 8-1 earlier in the season when every shot they had went in and then we beat them 4-1 in the league cup.

"A big crowd is expected and should see some great attacking football.

"It should have been all over at half time against Ossett Town on Saturday and I should have been sat with a cigar in the second half watching them express themselves.

"Peter Wright could have had a hat-trick and Ged Smith a couple, too.

"Even after Wrighty scored in virtually the last minute of the game, Paul Sparrow popped one just wide of the post when we might have taken the draw.

"It wasn't to be because we didn''t take our chances, but the lads kept going until the end and as long as they are doing that you can't complain.

"We've got to keep our belief - we're a lot stronger at the back, a lot fitter and, believe me, training has got a lot harder.

"We have a crucial spell coming up with several home games and points must be taken.

"We don't want to be looking over our shoulders going into the final week of the season."
