A BRUISED Selby Town will be looking for a vital win after suffering two crushing defeats in a week.

The Robins, struck with their first injury crisis of the season, lost to title rivals Eastwood and Ossett Albion, but will be looking to pick up the pace again away to Buxton.

Manager Bob Lyon said the Northern Counties East League premier division challengers had been seeking five points from the three games - so a victory tomorrow would salvage something.

"A win would mean that in our minds we had only really dropped two points, so that's the way we have got to look at it," said Lyon.

"People have been saying the last two games were title deciders but I've never said that. There are still 13 games left so there are still a lot of points up for grabs."

Stuart Lee, Pat Render and Adam Sadler were all missing in midweek but are expected to return.

"We've been a bit depleted with these injuries, so we're hoping to have the lads back, and get as strong a side as we can," said Lyon.
