Bath City manager Adie Britton knows his side will need to improve if they are to reach the Blue Square South play-off final.

Bath go into Saturday's semi-final second leg at Chelmsford, with a 2-0 lead from Tuesday's first leg at Twerton Park.

Britton told BBC Radio Bristol: "Hopefully we can perform a little better and have more possession."

"I think we've been as effective away from home this season."

He added: "Where we've had to soak up pressure and hit teams on the break, I think we're well suited to do that."

Bath are still pondering an appeal over Mark Badman's sending-off in the first leg but have a ready-made replacement in Adie Harris, who has completed a two-game ban.

Whatever happens on Saturday, Britton insists Bath have enjoyed a successful campaign.

"We set ourselves two goals for the season," he said. "One was to reach the first round of the FA Cup, which we did and did very nicely out of it.

"The other one was to reach the play-offs. Having got there, let's see if we can go one stage further.

"Should we get through at five o'clock on Saturday, perhaps we'll start to dream."
