Pressure building for AFC Telford

AFC Telford boss Rob Smith believes their last home game of the season against Harrogate on Saturday is one of the biggest matches in their history.

Telford are looking to get back into the Blue Square Premier after going out of business just four years ago.

Smith told BBC Radio Shropshire: "It's as big as anything, we've got a chance to get into the play-offs. I don't think you can get bigger than that.

"I know what my team is, I know how I want to approach the game."

He added: "The one thing we do want to do is be on the front foot."

The Bucks are third in the Blue Square North with three games left to play.

They will be without defenders Jimmy Turner, Indy Khela and Stuart Whitehead and midfielder Jamie Vermiglio through injury, whilst striker Michael Husbands is a big doubt after suffering with tonsillitis all week.

Smith said: "It's very unlikely Husbands will feature."

On a positive note, Dave Roberts - who is on loan from Burscough - is fully fit after playing through an ankle injury in recent weeks.
