Whitby Town will travel to Oldham on Wednesday night in search of a crucial victory against Avro to end a three-match losing streak in the NPL Premier.
A three-match losing streak will be put to the test on Wednesday night as Whitby Town travel to Oldham for a crucial midweek fixture.
The Blues are preparing for their first-ever clash with Avro in the NPL Premier, hoping to bounce back and secure a much-needed victory away from home.
A change in playing surface awaits the squad, adding an extra layer of complexity to the challenge as they prepare to compete on an artificial pitch.
Blues boss Graeme Lee has outlined exactly where he believes his side must improve to adapt to the conditions and reverse their recent fortunes.
Speaking to Whitby Town TV, Lee said:
"Yeah, listen this. Different when you're going 3G it is, but it's it's being able to deal with that, it's a different roll of the ball, everything's a bit different, but it's still 11 players against 11, and we have to be first and foremost win our first and second balls."
The manager is urging his players to focus on the basics and match their opponents' physical output despite the unfamiliar roll of the ball.
He added:
"That's what we have to be solid, we have to be strong, be able to deal with that, and if everyone's at the right end seeing intensity, hopefully we have a bit quality to to help."
A strong start and solid defensive foundations will be vital if the team is to return to the Yorkshire Coast with a positive result.
Kick off at Avro on Wednesday is 7.45pm.
