“I have talked to the players about it.
“We know we will go up if we win our remaining games, but we also appreciate the size of the task.
“There is not going to be one easy match and whatever happens we are going to play a decisive part in the promotion issue.
“We are going to destroy the hopes of some clubs and help others.
“But we are now in a position where we can concentrate on helping ourselves.
“We have put results together recently and taken 10 points out of 12.
“That proves we can put together the sort of run that’s needed.
“If we repeat that over the last six games it would take us very close.
“If we improve on it fractionally we will hit the target.”
Vic Crowe.
