'I won't relax until we reach 50 points'

BRAINTREE Town manager Alan Devonshire insists he will not relax until his side reach his target of 50 points.

The Iron continued their excellent recent form with a 2-1 win at Gateshead on Saturday, as goals from Dean Wells and Sean Marks made it three wins in a row.

They host another struggling side in Nuneaton Town on Saturday, before a trip to Dartford on Tuesday night as they look to get closer to the target Devonshire has set them for safety.

"We've had a good run," he said. "We've won five of our last seven so we're doing ok.

"But we've got to keep going and I won't relax until we've got 50 points.

"Every game's difficult, if you're off it a little bit you're going to get beaten.

"We've won three in a row now, three difficult games, and we've got another difficult game on Saturday.

"Let's see if we can extend the run – that's the challenge that I'll put to the players."

Devonshire's side were not in action on Tuesday night - their last free midweek of the season.

The Iron have 14 games left to play with six weeks until the final game of the season at Barrow, including three games in five days over the Easter weekend.

Devonshire added: "We can recharge the batteries for Saturday and then it's pretty much constant games for the rest of the season.

"We're playing Saturday, Tuesday and I think one week we're even playing Saturday, Monday, Wednesday."

Nuneaton and Dartford were both promoted last season, and although they have enjoyed differing campaigns, Devonshire is expecting a tough pair of games.

"Nuneaton's away record has picked up," he said. "They drew on Saturday at Hereford and they should have won so it's going to be tough. We'll have to be right on our game.

"Dartford have had a great season, they've just missed out on a Wembley final and to be fair they beat us at our place and they beat us well so it'll be another tough game going there."
