Jordan Piggott revealed last month’s 1-0 win over Leamington should give AFC Telford United confidence going into this afternoon’s play-off final.
The Bucks dominated proceedings from start to finish against the Brakes, who could count themselves lucky to return to Warwickshire without a greater margin of defeat.
“If I remember the game right we had a few chances that we should have taken to put the game to bed, and I can’t remember them troubling us much,” Piggott recalled. “We played well that day and I’m sure they know what we’re capable of.”Led by long-serving boss Paul Holleran, the Brakes have employed an effective strategy of direct football this season on their way to securing a fourth-place finish.
In the meeting at New Bucks Head in June, Piggott came close to scoring the goal of his career with an audacious bicycle kick.“I don’t know what got into me then,” Piggott joked. “I’ve seen it back, and if it went to the other side of the keeper he’s got no chance to be honest. It’s things like that that you try when your confidence is high.”
