ANDY MORRISON insists that it’s business as usual at Connah’s Quay Nomads as they prepare for a busy Bank Holiday weekend.

Nomads head to Caernarfon tonight, before Carmarthen visit the Deeside Stadium on Monday afternoon.

Morrison has no problems with the quick turnaround, insisting that his team have it easier than others in the top-flight.

“You’ve got to get on with it because it’s exactly the same for the opposition,” said the Nomads boss. “Carmarthen have got to travel up on Monday.

“It’s tough for us playing, but it’s even tougher for them.

“We’ve got to get on with it because that’s the way the fixtures have come out.

“If we can keep everyone fit and everyone right then we’ve got a great chance of challenging at the very top of the league all season.”

And, as ever, Morrison and his coaching staff will be paying full attention to the visit of Sean Eardley’s Caernarfon before they even consider the challenge that Carmarthen will pose.

“It’s going to be difficult, but if you look at a 10-game period where you have Caernarfon and Carmarthen before you’ve got Bala and TNS, if you look at games like that it becomes very complicated,” said Morrison.

“I often say it’s impossible to win 10 games on the spin, but it’s very, very possible to win one game at a time within those 10 games.”

Nomads started the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Cardiff Met, Jamie Insall tapping in Michael Wilde’s knockdown.

Morrison, who could recall Michael Bakare, pictured, to his starting XI, continued: “Everyone, barring TNS, have their eyes on that top-six. It’s really exciting season on season. You’ve got Penybont coming in, who we’ve not seen before, and there is a freshness to the league.”

Caernarfon boss Eardley, meanwhile, knows his side will be ready for Nomads as they look to emulate last season’s top-six finish.

“We need to embrace and enjoy the test, which we always have,” said Earley. “We are not just here to make up the numbers, or suffer ‘second season syndrome’.

“We want to make an impact again and get back in that top-six.

“But we realise the work that has to be put in has to be unbelievable.”
