​Coasters looking to avoid a cup upset against Nuneaton Borough

The Coasters face a potential banana skin when they travel to the Liberty Stadium for a FA Trophy third-round encounter.

Beech’s men head into the game as overwhelming favourites against the Southern League Premier Division Central outfit.

However, Boro having come so far will be keen to take the scalp of a National League side.

Beech said: "I’ve got 100% respect for our opponent because they’re in great form, and they’ve earned the right to be at this stage of the competition.

"They have a nice mix of young and experienced players in their group, so I’m looking forward to facing the challenge of Nuneaton.

“I have aims and ambitions for every competition we compete in and every game we play.

“All we can try and do is get into the hat for the next round, and of course, I’d like us to

be further down the line in the competition because this club’s won it before.”

The Coasters saw their game against Hartlepool at Mill Farm fall foul of the weather at the weekend which was a source of frustration for Beech.

He added: “I’m looking forward to getting back to it. I was gutted personally that the game was called off, but I understand why the referee called it off.

“We had a good training session to replicate the game and matchday data and a good week

of training leading into Nuneaton, so we’re looking forward to getting out there again.”
