DARWEN boss Steve Mullen has warned his players they must find some form ahead of the Christmas make or break' period.

The Anchor Ground club are without a win in five games and have slipped off the pace set by NWCL Division Two leaders Winsford United and Runcorn Linnets.

"All is not lost but it is important we begin to find some form," said Mullen whose side travel to Leek tomorrow.

"We need to put a run together because the Christmas period could make or break our season."

Mullen has been boosted by the return of the suspended Neil Almond.
