DAVE Busst has warned his Evesham United players they must be prepared to fight for every point.
The Robins, beaten 2-0 by bottom club Shepshed Dynamo at the weekend, are in action again at Common Road tonight when they entertain Team Bath in another important Dr Martens Western Division clash.
Busst, still waiting for his first win since taking over the Evesham hot-seat, is expecting a difficult work out at the hands of the university-based side.
"Team Bath are a lively side, full of young ex-pros and will be very fit so we've got to make sure we compete all over the pitch," said Busst.
"We've also got to realise we are in a scrap and starting battling because every point is vital.
"If we do that then hopefully our quality will come through."
New signing Craig Pountney, who missed Saturday's defeat, returns to the squad to give Busst options up front.
Busst will be hoping he can add a cutting edge that was lacking against Shepshed.
"I thought it was quite a close game but they scored two goals through our mistakes," added Busst.
"There wasn't a lot in it but we didn't look like scoring other than from set pieces.
"I felt their work-rate was higher than ours and because of that they got the breaks."
Busst remains optimistic of strengthening his squad with a new signing by the end of the week.
