Sinton is chasing the play-offs in his first season at Telford

Telford boss Andy Sinton has insisted the Bucks will not be easing off in a bid to manipulate who they might face in the Blue Square Bet North play-offs.

He has denied that his side, who have almost certainly lost the title race to Alfreton, might want to avoid playing in-form Eastwood in the play-off games.

"I want to send a strong message that we'll try to win all our four remaining games," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"I certainly won't be resting key players to influence where we finish."

League leaders Alfreton have six games left, and need only six points to be certain of the title and promotion to the Blue Square Bet Premier.

You've got to beat whatever's put in front of you, so let's have our own winning mentality Telford boss Andy Sinton

Telford are second, leading an eight-team pack chasing the four play-off places.

Eastwood, currently in sixth spot, are seen by many as the side gaining momentum at this late stage of the season.

But Sinton added: "We've got four games to go and I want 12 points.

"Whoever we might get in the play-offs, you've got to beat whatever's put in front of you, so let's have our own winning mentality, go and get as many points as we can, and see who we get and where we play."
