Now Horton Wants To Scrape A 1-0 Win

After Craig Hinton wanted a 1-0 win at any cost, Macclesfield manager Brian Horton is looking for a 'scrappy' 1-0 win to kickstart his club's season.

Speaking after their 1-1 draw with Chester, Horton told reporters: "We've just got to keep working and get rid of the stupid mistakes. All we need to do is win a scrappy game, defend like hell for the second half and scrape it 1-0, we've got enough scrappers in the side. That's what people have to do at times, but we can't seem to do that, we always have someone who'll make a mistake.

"It's happened before on set pieces this season, but we're quite a big side and things like that shouldn't be happening so often, but unfortunately they are. It's almost unacceptable that such an experienced defender can lose his man in the six yard box and he gets a free header. I have been trying to get another forward in, but it's hard trying to get strikers in at this time."
