“They got promotion a couple of years ago, they’ve stabilised,” he said.

“They’ve got a good catchment area with a lot of decent clubs not too far from them,

“They always do very, very well, they’re well organised, hard working, play 3-5-2, difficult to play against and make it hard for you to beat them.

“They’ve got a good pitch, I’ve seen their facility, I know what that’s all about.

“They have a good, passionate crowd.”
