UP NEXT:
Buxton are on the road as they face Worksop Town on Easter Monday with a 3pm kickoff.
The Bucks
On Friday Buxton lost 4-2 to Macclesfield with goals from Cian Coleman and George Ward for The Bucks.
Reflecting on the game, manager John McGrath said:
“It was disappointing to lose after going a goal up in the first half. I think the goals we conceded today were really soft, considering we were on the back of five wins in a row and four clean sheets in those.
Really disappointing from a defensive aspect and especially going a goal up very early, I just thought we would really kick on now.
Having got back in the game early in the second half at 2-2, I felt at the time there was only going to be one winner and it was going to be us. Unfortunately, again we concede two sloppy goals.”
