NELSON are looking to bounce back from their 3-2 midweek defeat at Ramsbottom as they travel to face Atherton Collieries tomorrow.

But manager Graham Howarth reckons that if they can replicate the form they showed in the second half of the Ramsbottom game then they should be more than a match for Atherton.

He said: "We were poor in the first half against Rammy but we changed things slightly at the break and we totally dominated but lost to a soft goal.

"But if we take our second half performance into the Atherton game then I know we'll do well.

"We can't give ourselves a mountain to climb again."

Chris Scott returns for the Blues but Duncan Bennett is still unavailable.
