PRESSURE is creeping in at the top of the table and we could be in for a very interesting finale to the season.

The weekend's results just told us what we've known throughout the season, which is that it's an incredibly tight league.

With Crawley and Weymouth losing it also showed that there are signs of increased anxiety among the leaders on the final bend.

Results-wise it was a great weekend for us, though it could have been even better if we'd played and won but I'm not complaining too much.

I went to watch Stafford Rangers play Cambridge City and I'm under no illusions how much of a test Saturday's trip to Milton Road will be.

Cambridge are a workmanlike team with plenty of spirit and any side that can draw at Stafford and beat Weymouth is a threat.

Despite results going for us we must still concentrate on the job in hand because Cambridge have enough about them to cause us problems.

Their confidence, already high, will have been re-inforced by the Stafford point which they got through a last minute equaliser. Whatever we get at Cambridge we will have to earn.

One man we're looking to for a good display is Adam Wilde who returns to his old stamping ground in a decent run of form.

His confidence is up and that's important because no matter what job or trade you do, you perform better when you are confident.

A few players, like Adam, have had to get themselves out of a trough but are starting to come good and that bodes well for the run-in.

With the teams bunching up at the top of the Dr Martens Premier Division there is still plenty to play for but we have to make sure we play our own part, and not just rely on results elsewhere going our way.

We also have to forget about the disappointment of dropped points at places like Bath City, even though that particular one sticks in the craw.

The run-in will be crunch time for the club and after recent poor finishes to seasons we are determined to make sure it is a good one.

We have to channel our energies into our cause, and not fret about what is happening around us.

The question is do we have the nerve? When I look around our dressing room I'm confident that we have.

There's a blend of experience and youth in the squad and if we all pull in the right direction, the players perform to their potential and we show the real Worcester City then it could be a very interesting finish to the season.

The top two clubs have more money than the rest of us, and it gives them an advantage in being able to change their squads around if need be to ensure they stay in contention.

But while they are in the driving seat in that sense, the way results are going suggests there are more twists and turns to come in the race for the championship.

Off the pitch the club has suffered a blow over the proposed stadium move to Nunnery Way but whatever direction or model the directors use, we must remain positive.

This has been going on for 10 years now and I'm sure everybody is quite drained by it but the fact is the club needs to relocate to safeguard it's future.

That's the most important thing - to ensure the club has a future.

But while I'm interested in following the club's long-term prospects off the pitch, my immediate concern and focus is entirely on the forthcoming game at Cambridge on Saturday.
