Manager admits there's lots to do
Stockport County tonight will be a tough encounter and he warns about complacency Dave Penney admits that there is still lots to do before his team can be safe from the threat of relegation. He said, "I still think there are a lot more teams still involved in the relegation battle. There are probably five or six teams above the line, including ourselves, who could still get sucked into it. It is important we keep picking up points and make sure we keep clear of the bottom four." He also admits that the fixture at Stockport County tonight will be a tough encounter and he has warned about complacency against County who are still in administration. He realises that the Hatters will be a far stronger side than their league position suggests as they have brought in eight new players since January. He went on, "Stockport have brought in a lot of new players since we were due to play them in January to add to the quality ones they already have. I think their league position therefore, is a little false as it is effectively a brand-new team which has been assembled since January. They have had some good results, including beating Wycombe 4-3, so it won't be easy." "It was a good point at Exeter following Dean Brill's (pictured) last minute penalty save which we followed by a good home win against Leyton Orient and we battled back to win at point against Wycombe through a late penalty. I don't count it as being two points lost against Wycombe when we were behind with two or three minutes left, though we are disappointed we did not win the match having been 1-0 ahead. The good thing is that we stuck at it against Wycombe, and it was all credit to the players that we managed to take something from the game." "I think the pitch will probably be in a better condition than when we were due to play there earlier as the weather has been a lot drier and kinder. It is all about our mental attitude. Everyone was saying how poor the pitch was at Colchester, but we got the ball down and passed it, and we will try to do the same tonight."
