KEITH WILSON has says Heybridge Swifts face a massive seven days if they to keep themselves away from trouble in Ryman North.
First up is a trip to Redbridge tomorrow (Saturday), followed by Wroxham Tuesday and Tilbury at home a week on Saturday and the Heybridge boss wants nothing less than two wins to bounce back from going out of the FA Trophy.
"We've got a massive seven days," said Wilson. "We need six points out of nine as a minimum because if we lose to those three sides we're in trouble so we need to get some results.
"I want nine and really I'd want seven but Wroxham are flying and that will be tough Tuesday but Redbridge and Tilbury are down there with us and we've got to make sure we take points off of them and not vice-versa. "
Heybridge are on a bad run of form at the moment having only won twice in their last 12 games in all competitions and find themselves 18th in the table and just a point away from the drop zone.
With Redbridge and Tilbury both below them Wilson knows that anything but wins will leave them in trouble.
In the reverse fixtures Heybridge only got one point with a draw at home to Redbridge whilst they lost 3-0 to Tilbury so the manager is hoping to call on his players to put a real shift in starting tomorrow.
"Saturday's going to be a battle so I need people that are going to roll their sleeves up, run through a brick wall and put a foot in when the muck is flying around because I can guarantee Redbridge's pitch won't be like ours," said Wilson.
"We'll take a win any shape or form against anyone that's why I wanted to win tonight [Tuesday against Lewes] to get a bit of confidence.
"We're going to have to go there, battle and really grind out a result. We've got to win because we've got to get a win from somewhere and hopefully it comes Saturday."
