After the disappointment of the home defeat against Curzon Ashton last weekend we look to return to winning ways at playoff rivals Chorley (writes Simon Hahn)

Defensive mistakes cost us last Saturday, as despite a goal from Nathan Cartman we fell to a 3-1 defeat. We dropped out of the top five on Tuesday night after Stockport County won 3-0 at Brackley Town. The result leaves us one point outside the playoffs and four behind Chorley in fourth.

They have a very impressive home record having won eight of their 13 fixtures. Their last game was on 21st January when they beat Altrincham at home 2-0.

They are managed by former Blackburn Rovers played Matt Jansen, who guided them to an eighth place finish last season.

When the two sides met earlier in the season, we won 2-0 at Heritage Park thanks to a goal in each half from Terry Galbraith.
