AFC Telford United commentator, BBC ShropshireTelford will be hoping to return to winning ways tomorrow against the league leaders Nuneaton.
The Bucks had been unbeaten in four before the 3-2 Corby defeat, which assistant manager Larry Chambers described as "complacent".
It won't be easy though. Kevin Wilson's full-time outfit have some star names in their side, including former Nottingham Forest striker Marlon Harewood (pictured below).

Behind the scenes at Ironbridge Power Stationpublished at 17:38
Faith Page
Reporter, BBC ShropshireThe site’s much bigger than it looks from the front, it’s even got its own gym and golf course and a railway line running through the middle, delivering the 200 tonnes of wood pellets it needs every hour.
The cooling towers are magnificent, rising hundreds of feet high, seemingly from the bed of the River Severn itself. The cooled water comes from turbine 1, which generates 370 megawatts of power per hour, enough to power 350,000 homes.
Turbine 2 sits blackened and abandoned since a catastrophic failure and fire in February 2014.
And it’s true about the peak generation time. It's tea time, as the nation puts the kettle on.
