COLNE boss Nigel Coates has praised his squad after an impressive run of just one defeat in their last eight matches.

He said: "We don't have the big squads of the likes of FC United and Salford City but I am delighted with the way we have been playing in recent weeks."

"We have only lost once in eight matches and that is an impressive record," added Coates whose side go to Glossop North End tomorrow.

Liam Garbutt, recently signed from East Lancs League side Kelbrook, is likely to feature.
