Harsh words worked for Racing boss Martin Bewell before his side took on West Bromwich Albion and he is hoping for more of the same at Bilston this weekend.

Bewell had not been impressed with his side’s performance against Paget Rangers in the league, a game they lost 2-1, and told them so before they took on the Baggies in the Birmingham Senior Cup.

They drew 0-0 and have earned themselves a replay at The Hawthorns. He is now hoping the carrot of playing on a League ground inspires his men.

He said:

"It should certainly be an incentive for the lads. We had the choice of playing the Senior Cup replay at home but I thought it would be nice to go to The Hawthorns.

"Our thoughts have to be firmly on the league until then. I have keeper Richard Antiss back from suspension but I will probably go with Andrew Biffin. He came in for some stick on Saturday but I kept with him and he did well against Albion.

"Bilston have put together a decent run since then and are second in the league so we will have to be resolute. Our biggest problem at the moment is inconsistency."
