Bamber Bridge boss Jamie Milligan shrugs off sack talk after three big victories
Bamber Bridge boss Jamie Milligan sees no reason why his men cannot fight for a play-off place this season.
Brig got the better of Warrington Rylands 2-1 – their third successive win following victories over Prescot Cables and Workington.
After a poor start to the season which saw Milligan quest-ioned in some quarters, Brig have now moved into the top half of the NPL Premier Division.
Milligan told the club media: "The aim for us is to try to get into the play-offs.
"Football is mad. Three weeks ago, people were calling for me to get the sack.
"Now we are three points off the play-offs. That’s football for you.
"I said to the lads when we have a sticky patch to get through it, to grind through it.
“There was no panicking for me. We just had to get through it because if you keep doing the right things, things will change for you.”
Tonight’s fixtures: AFC Fylde v Tamworth, Lancaster City v Garstang, Clitheroe v Trafford, Burscough v Pilkington, Charnock Richard v Litherland REMYCA, Squires Gate v Longridge Town.
