Market Drayton Town hope to continue playing a winning tune

Boss Dave Lloyd wants his Market Drayton Town troops to continue playing a winning tune and building momentum.

In-form Drayton have won three on the spin in North West Counties First Division South and are inspiring a positive mood around the club - as well as the dressing room, where the squad belt out a 1990s classic after wins.

Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ received another rendition after last Saturday’s fine 2-1 win at fancied seventh-placed New Mills last weekend and Town hope for more of the same with another tricky test at Bilston, who are sixth.

Armando Wood struck a match-winning penalty 15 minutes from time in Derbyshire after Gingerbread Man debutant Tyler Cooper had cancelled out the hosts’ opener for deserved parity on the stroke of half-time.

"We're buzzing, New Mills is a very tough place to go, we were asking a lot of the lads and three points is massive,” Lloyd said.

"We finished the first half well and it was about keeping our composure in the second half. We've got a really face forward line so if we can turn them over we can create a lot of chances.”

Drayton were helped by a first-half red card for Mills’ Akim Samms for violent conduct but some controversy saw Durell Manhertz’s scramble ruled not to have crossed the goalline.

But the visitors struck a deserved winner from the spot to climb to ninth.

"The support is superb for the level we are, we have to be one of the best supported teams,” Lloyd added. “They've stuck and showed support.

"Hopefully we can continue this good run for them.

"Bilston are a really good, tough side and it's not going to be easy. We need to take this momentum, there's no better feeling than that.

"We always go into the dressing room and sing 'Wonderwall' and it's what I want to continue for the rest of the season."
