I honestly think we need to just keep the momentum going and go into the match with a positive outlook and enjoy the ride, but taking into account that they’ve beaten Kings Lynn, so as not underestimate them.

Impressive win for Stourbridge last night 3-0 against big spenders Stratford.

And a crowd we’d be proud of - 733. Really looking forward to Saturday’s game and a good atmosphere with some actual home support.

Same, bar possibly the St Ives playoff final, it'll be by far the biggest home crowd we've seen at an away league game before, it'll be a testament to how far we've come from playing teams with virtually no support whatsoever, to playing teams with fanbases similar to our own.

But these two away games are going to be a massive test, we certainly aren't going to be putting 5 past these guys, and we'll need to keep it tight at the back, Saturday was a brilliant day full of positives, the whole team played well, but if I had to be slightly critical, I would have to say Redditch could have scored more than they did, they created a fair few chances against us and we're going to be coming up against some much better finishers at this level.
