In some sort of hoodoo, the two contenders for August's player of the month (Aaron Burns and Kingsley Willams) were both injured for today's game... Spooky! After a very scrappy 20-25 minutes, Trafford reacted positively to going a goal behind by deservedly beating a solid Cheadle outfit. Trafford were by no means firing on all cylinders but in the end we did enough to ease through. Mainly thanks to the excellent finishing of crowd favourite, Mark Derbyshire.
Whilst pleased with the result, the home faithful (and I'm sure players alike) are still hopeful of greater performances in games to come, especially once we have Aaron and Kingsley available again. As a club, we eagerly await the draw for the next round of the FA Cup and are glad that our dream of a Warrington-esque run into the 'proper' rounds is still alive!
Before today's game, Aaron Burns was presented with the player of the month award for August, (below), hopefully the lads can kick on and fulfill the expectations of the supporters in carrying the fight for a good cup run and push for the play-offs in the league . Once again, well done to Aaron and good luck for the upcoming games. #TraffordFC #oneclub #giveourall
