BEECH BOYS ARE COASTING IT!

Fylde fight on in battle to beat the drop

- Jon Couch

CHRIS BEECH says his AFC Fylde side have already embarked on an arduous journey in their bid for the National League survival - to the lengths of Istanbul in one month alone.

The 49-year-old has completely turned around fortunes at Mill Farm this season, leading the club's resurgence from a perilous position at the foot of the table to the cusp of mid-table comfort.

It's a run which has given the Coasters a solid chance of staying up amidst a congested bottom half of the table, but Beech insists its bhis players who deserve the credit for the challenges that only overcoming the National League can bring.

"When I took over 15 games in, we'd won two, drawn three and lost ten," said Beech, who switched roles from director of football following the departure of Adam Murray in October.
