DAVE King admits his Tividale side face a tough task as they try to deal with 11 games in the next 23 days.

Dale's fixture backlog sees them playing every Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday until the season closes on May 3.

The run was due to start with the visit of Stone Old Alleynians this Tuesday before a trip to Ellesmere Rangers on Thursday and a derby clash at Dudley Town this Saturday.

King said: "It's a new one for me and our squad will have to come in to play.

"We are going to have to rest a few players and make sure other recover in time. All that doesn't really account for any injuries we might pick up either.

"It will just be incredibly tough and I'm just going to focus on three games at a time.

"They are an honest bunch of lands and they will all certainly dig in. They haven't played for two weeks and are comping at the bit to play."

Tivi have no injury concerns this week but will be without the absent Dan Bryson and Chris Bladen against Dudley on Saturday.
