Brad Munn on the game vs Lichfield City:
“It’ll be nice to be away. Let’s go to a play I have never been. I know it is a 4G surface where it is not supposed to be the greatest, but they’re in good form, they’re a good side. So, we have got to go and take it to them.
“One thing I’ll always set my team up is to try and win, not to try and lose a game of football so, we’ll go there, enjoy the away trip.”

Jamie Hanson on the game vs Lichfield City:
“You always go into a game expecting to win, but you cannot win, don’t lose it.
“A point is a point at the end of the day and when you go away, you never know how big that point is going to be towards the end of the season.”

Who is up for this then?

COME ON YOU BLUES!!!
