Sinton wants more form as Bucks replay Buxton

Boss Andy Sinton is demanding more form AFC Telford United in tonight's FA Cup replay with Buxton, insisting: "The hard work's just begun."

A trip to Blue Square Premier high-fliers Fleetwood Town in the fourth qualifying round is the prize for the winners of tonight's clash at the New Bucks Head.

But Sinton is not taking victory for granted against the Evo-Stik League premier division side, calling for a more lively attacking display after Saturday's 1-1 draw in the first tie at Silverlands.

"Anyone, fans or players, who think the hard part is done by bringing them back to our place needs to think again," he declared.

"The hard work started at 5pm on Saturday and we have got to impress ourselves and play with a bit more pace and energy.

"We restricted them to one shot on target at their place and that was great but I'm looking for us to be more creative now."

Sinton has already hinted at potential changes for tonight's clash and he is forced to make at least one — with defender Sean Newton away with the England C team.

Left-back Newton is in Talinn for this afternoon's International Trophy clash with Estonia (2pm).

And, with recent non-contract recruit Netan Sansara's arrival on hold pending clearance issues, that is likely to mean Will Salmon or Shane Killock switching positions to cover.

Striker Andy Brown is making quick progress after a car accident last Thursday that left him with whiplash injuries and he will undergo a pre-match fitness test.

Meanwhile, young defender Jacob Rowe has left the Bucks to join their Blue Square Bet North rivals Redditch on non-contract terms.

"He needs to play first team football," said Sinton.

"He's done well in the second string games we've had but he's arguably behind the likes of Shane Killock, Liam Murray and Stuart Whitehead."
