The Bucks have found the net in all 18 fixtures on the road, even during a new club-record defeat at Guiseley on Tuesday night which they lost 6-1.

Liam Watson's side entertain fellow promotion-chasers Altrincham at the New Bucks Head today, before two away games next week. There's a first-ever trip to Oxford City at Marsh Lane on Tuesday, to face opponents they thrashed 4-0 on home turf just two weeks ago.

Then comes a journey to North Wales to take on the much-improved Colwyn Bay. The away fixture list is completed by an Easter Bank Holiday Monday game at Solihull Moors, who are managed by former Telford favourite Marcus Bignot.

Watson said: "I always think that if you are going into your last four games and you are neck and neck for the title, you need to win all of them.

"I fancy us to score in all of our last three away games and, if we do that and can keep clean sheets, we will win each one of those fixtures. I have always had a good away record."

, because I set teams up to counter attack. One year at Southport, we got 42 points at home and the same away.

"We also broke the club record for consecutive away league wins in the Conference Premier, with eight on the bounce. I don't treat games any differently.

"I have never set a team up not to lose, I will try to win."
