‘WE FEEL AT HOME IN THE EFL NOW'

GRAHAM Alexander believes Salford City are finally finding their feet after a shaky start to life in the Football League.

Famously backed by Singaporean businessman Peter Lim and half-a-dozen former Manchester United stars, the Ammies’ promotion from the National League last season was their fourth in five years.

And after signings like Brighton midfielder Richie Towell over the summer, they began the season as 10-1 joint-favourites for the League Two title.

Yet Salford won just two of their first 11 matches and briefly slipped to 19th before a recent surge in form.

And that inconsistency, says Alexander, is a more accurate reflection of Salford’s current status than any talk of blitzing the league.

“Coming into this division there was a high profile around our club,” says the former Preston and Burnley midfielder, who took charge in the summer of 2018.

“The expectation is for Salford to run away with the league, and we understand that. The recent history of success has been unbelievable.
