Margy's men feel invincible

KARL Marginson branded FC United the new invincibles of the UniBond first division north as they continue to push for a third successive title at home to Chorley.

A 2-2 draw with Radcliffe Borough, followed by a 2-1 win against Woodley Sports on Monday, leaves the Rebels 11 points behind leaders Skelmersdale, but with five games in hand.

It was an impressive response after the 3-1 Manchester Premier Cup defeat by Radcliffe last week.

And Marginson is looking for them to make up more ground on the leaders when they face Chorley at Gigg Lane on Wednesday, part of a punishing schedule of 15 games in five weeks.

"We've got that inner belief and we've got to keep encouraging them," he said.

"They believe they are invincible at the moment.

"There will still be some twists and turns, especially with all our fixtures coming up, but it is in our own hands now."

I know it was only Woodley, but if those two goals on Monday had been scored in the Premiership they would have been shown time and again. A screamer from Jamie Baguley followed by a sensational overhead winner from Stuart Rudd. Roll on Wednesday !

FCUoM beat Chorley 3-0 tonight with goals from Rory Patterson, Jerome Wright and Stuart Rudd. It was a very entertaining nights football with a sublime all round team performance with a score line that flatters Chorley. Looking back it could have been 10-0 if we had taken all our chances. If we could play like that every game we will win this league at a canter. Up the Reds.
