It’s bank holiday Monday action for the Robins as we return to home turf to take on Quorn at the Microlise New Manor Ground.
A response is needed for Tris Whitman’s men after a difficult result at the weekend, and he spoke about the need to react.
He said: “The beauty is that we have a game so quickly, so it’s about response, and hopefully [we can get] something more positive in terms of performance, and hopefully that can lead to a better result.”
Similarly, our visitors also had a tough day at the office last time out, going down to a heavy 6-3 defeat to Whitby.
The Methodists are yet to pick up a victory this campaign, only accruing three points, which all came in the form of draws.
Monday’s contest will be the first between the sides in five years, where we came out victorious by two goals to one, in the FA Cup preliminary round.
As we go into our final home game of the month, we need your support as we head into a crucial clash.
The manager heaped praise on the Robins’ faithful, praising your support on Saturday and over what has been a difficult period.
He said: “I can’t speak highly enough of the fans, I mean obviously just the travel alone, it’s massive.
“And then for us to get beaten so heavily, and for them to be so vocal at the end.
“Hopefully the spirit they’ve shown can transpire into our lads, and hopefully we can have something similar on Monday.”
We look forward to welcoming you back home, be loud, be proud.
Up the Robins!
