AFC Telford pre-match news
Manager Gary Norton has thrown down the gauntlet and has warned that some of the players will be playing for their futures at the club tonight.
After what he described as a dismal performance at Mossley on Saturday he is giving his current squad the chance to make amends against AFC Telford United in the UniBond League Challenge Cup.Although admitting that this completion was not his top priority he would like to see his side win the tie.
Defender Lee Soar has recovered from a virus and is expected to start on the bench.
Tonight's game is to be played to a finish meaning extra time and penalties will be needed should the tie finish all square at the end of ninety minutes.
