Racing Warwick’s squad will have a bigger incentive than usual to impress against Stafford at home on Saturday – their new manager could just be watching.

Caretaker boss Keith Billington has revealed that the short-listed candidates for the job he is about to vacate will be at the game running their eye over the players.

Billington, who stepped in to help out when Martin Bewell decided to pack the job in, has only three games before he quits.

"No decision has been made but that could well come next week. I know that the candidates who have made it through to the shortlist will be there so that should fire the players up.

"There was nothing wrong with their spirit when we played Solihull in midweek. We lost 3-2 away from home but came back from three down and quite easily could have scored an equaliser.

"The players know that pride and a place in the side next season are keeping them playing at the maximum and that is just how it should be."
