AFC Telford United kept themselves in good shape ahead of the Southern Central Premier play-offs with a 4-1 victory at Coalville Town, with manager Kevin Wilkin “delighted” with the result, but more so the fact that his team emerged without any injury concerns, writes Rich Worton.
“I think that was the primary concern, getting everybody through today’s game fit and available to train on Monday,” said Wilkin. “The lads have done brilliantly on top of that – obviously, we wanted to try and win the game and we’ve come through to win quite comfortably, but equally, Coalville did have some moments there in the first half.”
The Bucks didn’t have their foot pressed to the floor but they weren’t coasting either, although opponents Coalville, safe in mid-table, had little to play for other than pride. Styche might have been one of the players that supporters expected to see given a start, and Wilkin admitted that although injuries were a risk, he was eager to see his side maintain their excellent form: “There’s been lots of things to think about, and you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. It’s one of those where we wanted to be competitive and wanted to try and carry some momentum.”
