Lye: Any mistake could prove costly
Scott Lye: Ready for battle
Scott Lye: Ready for battle

Scott Lye believes a mistake or a bit of brilliance could be the difference between Chippenham Town and Halesowen tonight.

The Bluebirds travel to The Grove amidst infighting between the board and manager Adie Mings over coach travel.

The players however will try and focus their minds on winning their Southern League Premier Division play-off semi-final at Halesowen and Lye knows it will be a nervy game.

"It is going to be close," said the midfielder. "Maybe a mistake or a good bit of football is going to win it.

"Maybe fitness will come into it, but there is no doubting our fitness.

"When we play football as good as we can do we are one of the best footballing sides in the league.

"I don't know other sides that well but we are more than capable of matching all the sides we have played this year."

But the 21-year-old knows it might come down to a penalty shoot out and will not be afraid to step forward.

The Bluebirds have been practicing spot kicks in training and Lye believes who takes them will be decided on the night.

He said: "Obviously Kye (Holly) will take one and Sam (Allison) and Kev (Halliday) quite fancy them. It is really down to who wants them at the time, although I wouldn't mind."

The former Corsham Town star is hoping to cap a successful season with promotion after he took second in the fan's player of the season vote.

"I didn't think I'd feature so high up, so I am pleased," he said.

"I hadn't been playing for a few weeks, although it's hard to remember because the season has gone so quickly."
