CONNAH’S Quay Nomads manager Jim Hackett is giving his squad a chance to build on where they left off at Bangor City last Saturday when they entertain sixth-placed Port Talbot today.
Pinning up an unchanged squad despite the 3-2 defeat at Farrar Road, the Nomads boss has few complaints.
“In performance terms the second half was really good,” he said. “Bangor came at us from the start and we were relieved to only go in one down. But we matched them from then on despite a heavy, difficult surface and I suspect that they ended up thankful to snatch it 3-2.”
Although they are virtually safe from relegation, Nomads are not relaxing their push for certain salvation just yet
“We still want every point we can get, although the results affecting the teams below us have gone our way lately,” added boss Hackett.
Seven points clear of Porthmadog and 12 better off than Llangefni, fifth-from-bottom Nomads can put more clear water between them both if they succeed in avenging a 2-1 defeat at Port Talbot last November.
