Boss Danny Hussey has warned his Holbeach not to take basement side Wellingborough Whitworth lightly at Carter’s Park on Saturday (3pm).
Fourth-placed Holbeach will be without keeper Ricky Drury for the Future Lions UCL Premier Division clash and have been told to approach the game like any other.
Hussey said: “I’ve been down the bottom of the table during my time with Spalding. You have to battle for everything – and that’s what they’ll do on Saturday.
“If they get a sniff that we’re not up for it, they’ll make life very difficult.
“The lads will be under no illusions about what I expect from them.”
Holbeach go into the game on a run of five league wins on the spin, having won 2-1 at Eynesbury Rovers on Tuesday night.
Whitworth have won just two of their 25 league games so far this season and have a goal difference of -86.
