Lancaster City have had to settle for one point from two games over the past week after failing to score against second-placed Warrington Rylands or struggling Basford United.
Boss Mark Fell was encouraged by Saturday's goalless draw with Rylands but the Dolly Blues could not build on it on Tuesday, losing to the only goal against Basford in Nottingham. It was amazing that debutant Jordan Hallam's third-minute strike was the only one to bulge the net all evening as both sides produced plenty of chances.
Charlie Bailey had a shot deflected wide from Barnes' crossfield ball, then in the closing stages Grand headed just wide before the impressive Preston saved from David Norris and Carroll in quick succession. In eight minutes of stoppage time, Lancaster could not deny Basford a second win of the season which lifts them two places off the bottom, leaving the Dolly Blues 12th on 18 points. As Fell had predicted, there was no place in his side for Andrew Teague, who excelled against Rylands.
