BROMSGROVE Rovers have ten games to win promotion from the Dr Martens Western, starting with the derby against Evesham United at the Victoria Ground this Saturday.
A one minute silence will be observed ahead of the game, the first home match since the tragic death of Ashley Read - a tribute which was also held at last Saturday's trip to Bedworth.
Hundreds of mourners turned out to pay their last respects as the youngster was laid to rest on Monday.
Joint manager Gary Hackett said: "It was a tremendous turnout for his funeral. It was a very emotional service and it was a fond farewell to him. He will not be forgotten."
Hackett was disappointed with the 2-1 defeat at Bedworth but acknowledges what people are going through.
"I saw a lot of blank faces," he added. "I don't think the players were ready for a football match."
But minds must now focus on capturing the form that saw Rovers, currently third, lead the league earlier this season.
"It has been a difficult time for the club both on and off the pitch but we have to move on. We have an important football match and we couldn't have asked for a better one than Evesham.
"They are the form team and we have got to come out all guns blazing."
Hackett and Jon Ford will include new signing Jamie Hyde in the squad after the left sided midfielder joined from Winchester City, where he was studying at university.
The 21-year-old made more than 60 appearances for Worcester City last season.
Steve Lutz will play against his old team but Darren Bullock is suspended.
