‘We will need little motivation’, says Whitton boss Coldron as the Greens head to Yarmouth

Whitton boss Shane Coldron feels his side will need little motivation as they head to Great Yarmouth this weekend.
The Bloaters beat Whitton at King George V, 1-0 just after Christmas in a tight affair.
The Norfolk side were battling relegation at that point and although they got themselves out of the drop zone for a period, they have fallen back into it of late.
Whitton, meanwhile, arrested a run of six games without a win, with an exciting 5-3 win over Kirkley & Pakefield last weekend.
“Following the excellent win against Kirkley & Pakefield we face Yarmouth whose fortunes have changed dramatically since a link up with pro club Stevenage leading to successful acquisition of work experience players of a high standard,” Coldron said.

“Having narrowly lost in the reverse fixture it shouldn’t take a lot for me to motivate my players as Yarmouth’s post-match celebrations suggested they had just won the FA Cup!”
Coldron welcomes back Adam Dunnage, Liam Wales and Harry Wales back into the squad.
