Dryden upbeat over play-off hopes

Dryden knows Worcester need to win more home games

Manager Richard Dryden believes Worcester City can improve their home form and mount a challenge for a Blue Square South play-off place.

City, who host Bishops Stortford on Saturday, have only won two league games at St George's Lane this season.

"We want to make this our fortress and it certainly hasn't been that so far," Dryden told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"A lot of people say the play-offs are out of reach, but there's no reason we can't go on a run."

"We have a low number in the squad, but they are a hard-working bunch, and we have had people on the bench who can come on and change a game."

Tuesday's win at Team Bath was City's seventh on the road, but Dryden knows his problems lie closer to home.

"The last three or four teams we have played here have slowed the game down, and we haven't been able to play at our tempo.

"We are always competing, we get our share of the chances, but we have not won games, but if we kick on you never know," he added.

Worcester City v Bishops Stortford will be one of the games featured in Sport on Saturday on BBC Hereford and Worcester.
