Guiseley AFC need to put together a string of wins if they are to challenge for a place in the play-offs according to joint-boss Marcus Bignot.

The Lions take on second-placed King’s Lynn Town this weekend and they’ll be hoping to maintain their eight-match unbeaten run away from home.

Last week Guiseley dominated Leamington in their 3-0 victory before going on to beat Harrogate 2-1 in the semi-finals of the West Riding County Cup just two days later.

“The biggest confidence in football is winning football games,” said Bignot.

“The 3-0 win over Leamington in front of our own supporters was very satisfying. And then of course that win on Monday night and getting a second successive final.

“The supporters on Monday showed just how much it meant to them with the number of fans that travelled to Harrogate.

“It was really an entertaining and exciting game.”

King’s Lynn come into Saturday’s game on the back of some incredibly poor results.

Just last month, the Linnets looked unstoppable in their pursuit of promotion however, since Kidderminster ended their 14-match unbeaten run in the league, Town have only managed four points in as many games.

Despite their faltering form, Bignot is well-aware of the threats posed by King’s Lynn saying: “They’re a footballing team.

“The two centre-forwards they’ve got, in terms of pairings, they’re up there with the best if not the best in this league.

“They’ve got some really good attacking players so we’re going to have to be at our best off the ball, but also we’re going to have to carry that threat on the ball as well.”
