Holleran is hoping to home in on a play-off spot
Brakes emerged from difficult away trips to Redditch and Weymouth with just a point to show for their efforts to further muddy the play-off picture.
Three away blanks in four have left Leamington anxiously looking over their shoulders in the fifth and final play-off spot.

“A lot of the games at the top are very tight,” he said.
“With the situation as it is, teams don’t want to lose.
“Redditch was a hard, competitive game on a difficult pitch while Weymouth surprised me.
“I thought they’d come out gung-ho but they set up 4-3-3 and over-ran us in midfield a little.
“There was plenty of endeavour and resilience from us but we lacked a little bit of quality.”

“We haven’t got time to dwell on it.
“The logistics of Weymouth were difficult - not getting there until 7pm.
“So we’ll be glad to get back home and move on.
“We’re still in a good position. Now we’ve got to drive it home and cement our place in the play-offs.”
