Football: We have nothing to lose, says Rovers boss Hockaday (From Gazette Series)

Blue Square Premier: Forest Green v Luton preview

9:00am Friday 10th February 2012 in Gloucestershire Sport

FOREST Green will be hoping for a rise in temperature when high-flying Luton Town visit the New Lawn on Saturday, 3pm.

Rovers were frozen out at AFC Telford on Saturday and suffered the same fate last night at Kettering Town.

The squad trained at Cirencester Indoor Arena this week and Hockaday is urging his side to hit the ground running.

“We're in a position now where we know we're safe and if we are going to do anything in the remainder of the season, we have to win games,” he said.

“We didn't sit back against Fleetwood and Wrexham and try and counter, we pressed them high up the pitch and we're going to go and attack at every team as we have nothing to lose now.

“We're 11 points off the play-offs and we know plenty of teams above will have to falter for us to get up there.

“But we are going to prepare to try and win every game and give it a right crack, but in the meantime we will be building off the field so we can be in a better position each season.”
