AFC Telford United boss Rob Smith said his players will face one of their biggest games of the season in a must win match against Farsley.

Telford's 3-1 defeat at Alfreton helped Droylsden to close the gap to two points in the play-off race, but the Bucks remained in fifth place.

"We've got to focus all our efforts on getting three points against Farsley.

"If we get a five point gap going into the last three games we'll be nearly there," Smith told BBC Shropshire.

The Bucks have picked up just a point in their last two Blue Square North games after wining the Setanta Shield against Forest Green Rovers last week.

They face the prospect of playing their sixth game in 12 days on Wednesday.

Telford will be without midfielder Jon Adams who pulled his hamstring at Alfreton during the first half at the Impact Arena.

Striker Danny Carey Bertram is still suffering with a leg injury giving Rob Smith selection problems ahead of the league match. But midfielder Phil Trainer will be available for selection.
