Hughes ready for the latest challenge...

CITY are back in home League action on Saturday after two games on the road as we take on Haughmond (kick-off 3.00pm).
We go into the game in fourth place in the table having taken four points from our last two games.
Our Shropshire visitors meanwhile are 16th having secured more points on their travels than they have at home so far this term.
They had some success in the Emirates FA Cup earlier in the season with victories over higher-level Bedworth United and Matlock Town before drawing 1-1 at Vanarama National League North outfit, Boston United.
“Haughmond are new to this level but they have adapted well,” said joint manager, Lee Hughes. “Their performances in the FA Cup show what they are capable of.
“Every game in this League is tough and we have found that teams tend to step up their game when they come up against us.
“We know that as long as we keep working hard and show the right attitude, our quality will eventually come through and hopefully that will be the case on Saturday.”
City are now four games unbeaten in all competitions since that defeat at Shawbury United early in October.
We will be without front-man, Dave Reynolds, at the weekend as he is suspended for one game having accumulated five bookings. Brad Birch is also suspended.
Haughmond fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Coleshill Town in the League Cup on Tuesday evening and in their last League game shared the spoils with Quorn in a 1-1 draw.
Come and show your support!
