Ravens travelling for today's match
FC Isle of Man needs strong cohesion going into today's (18 January) away game against Padiham in the NWCFL Premier Division.
The Ravens manager says it will be a 'battle' amid recent disappointing form.
They've managed just one win in nearly two months and sit four points outside the promotion play-off.
Paul Jones told Manx Radio the team will need to get stuck in and not give away any easy passes to their opponents:
Padiham vs FC Isle of Man kicks off at 3pm at the Ruby Civil Arena in Lancashire.
