Darlo Diary: Reputation of the club was dragged through the mire at AFC Fylde

SOMETIMES, you have to hold your hands up and say that you were beaten by the better team. That was certainly the case on Saturday at AFC Fylde’s magnificent Mill Farm stadium. The surroundings were pretty opulent compared to most grounds in this league and Fylde were opulent on the pitch too. From the moment the ball flew past a helpless Adam Bartlett after eight minutes, it always felt like we were facing an uphill struggle. While we got into some good positions, it always felt like we were having to play above and beyond our capabilities to just live with our well-funded hosts.
