Rothwell Town return to league action
this weekend with boss Ian Jackson wanting more of the character
they showed in the FA Cup in midweek.
The Bones suffered the agony of losing a penalty shoot-out in their
first qualifying round replay at Enfield Town on Tuesday night after
a fighting performance that saw them twice come from behind.
Jackson admitted to feeeling proud
of his side's performance – but stressed that they needed
to carry that form into the league where they have slipped down
the table after a strong start to the season.
"We need to start putting some
points on the board and, if we show the same character and attitude
we did at Enfield – who are a good team – then it will
make my job at lot easier this season," he said.
Cinderford arrive at Cecil Street
lying below Rothwell. Like the Bones, they have faded after a promising
beginning that saw them take four points from their first two games.
Since then, the Foresters have lost
twice in the league and also gone out in an FA Cup replay on Tuesday
night – 2-1 at Premier Division side Cirencester Town.
"Cinderford are a very strange
team. They are either very good or very average," added Jackson."
"However, our home form has been
very good over the last two seasons and we've not lost there yet
this season – so I'm looking for that to continue."
One boost for the Bones was that they
came through Tuesday's tie with a clean bill of health, despite
them having to go through extra-time, and Jackson names an unchanged
squad for tomorrow's game.
Rothwell from: Smith, Challinor, Brown,
Sturgess, Greasley, Flannigan, Sneddon, Purton, Boyle-Chong, March,
