WHAT THE MANAGERS SAID
Derek Adams: “We are all looking forward to the game. It will be another good test for us.
“It has the potential to be a very entertaining match between two good teams.
“Salford are a strong side who I expect to be up there at the end of the season.
“We certainly need to be at our best if we are to come away with a win.”
Gary Bowyer: “We have been playing well but, unfortunately, the results have not been good enough.
“We have had a week to prepare for this game, and that is enough time to work on the things we need to put right.
“If we continue to perform the way we are, then I am sure things will pick up for us and we will begin to climb the table.”

Ian Henderson’s second-half stoppage-time goal was enough for the Ammies to earn their first-ever victory at the Utilita Energy Stadium at the end of April.
