Paul Holleran spoke to the press on Thursday ahead of Saturday's National League North clash against second placed King's Lynn Town...
"It will be great to see Tommy and Hugo again. They're a super club, and we had a real tough game up there at the start of the season where we had to dig really deep to get out of there with a point. A good goalkeeping performance meant that (Leamington are the only side to take points off King's Lynn at the Walks), we were quite resilient. But listen, they're where I thought they would be. They've got good players, lots of people who can score goals and lots of experience so they're one of two or three sides that could win the league.
"We're looking forward to the challenge, it's not been ideal the last three weeks! It's more difficult when you're one of the lesser clubs in the league but we've done as much as we can, kept things ticking over and managed to do things two or three times a week and kept everyone up to speed. The players have been good, we've got on grass a couple of times this week which is good. We're up at the ground tonight and the pitch is thawing, so hopefully another decent day on Friday and we are able to get some work on the pitch. Fingers crossed we'll be okay!
"For us, it's a big week or so with three home games. We've got one or two players back, we've brought Ollie (Hulbert) to the football club - it gives one or two more options. Listen, it's pretty obvious that the attacking element of our game has got to improve, and when I say attacking, that involves a number of players - virtually every player on the pitch - going into the final third whether it's going in from wide areas, middle of the pitch, runners from midfield, high line players, wingers, set plays. We've got to do more in those areas and if we do, I'm sure we'll be fine.
"The new young element of our support is super. The club's going to need them in the future, and what we've got to try and do - the fans have been feeding off of scraps recently, they can see how hard the players are working, they can see structure but they want goalmouth action, they want goals and that's what we're desperate to deliver for them. It's going to be a tough 10 days but we're looking forward to it, but we know that, like every season, the majority of our points come here (at home) so if we're going to get ourselves into that pack just above us, we're going to have to pick up big points here."
