Meanwhile, Fell has praised veteran midfielder David Norris, who has notched seven goals for City this season.

“I am getting a bit of talking about him and how good he has been,” said Fell.

“I feel like a fan rather than his manager.

“Before coming here he played at Shaw Lane and Salford City so he knows what it’s all about.

“He’s a football man and just has a great desire to win football matches.”

On Tuesday, City travel to Squires Gate in the LFA Challenge Trophy.
