RAMSBOTTOM manager Neil Hart has revealed he read the riot act after watching his side slump to a midweek defeat to Colne.
The Rams lost 3-0 at home to their local rivals and Hart is hoping they can bounce back quickly when they travel to Abbey Hey tomorrow.
He said: "The Colne match was very disappointing.
"It was a poor performance, but the players have a great chance now to put it right.
"They were left in no uncertain terms at the end what's expected of them.
"We've got two games left and I'm desperate for us to win them both so we can carry that momentum on into next season."
The Rams should have Lee McNally back, although Graham Vaughan is struggling with an ankle injury.
"So playing the three top teams is the perfect way to see how strong the squad is and find out which areas I will need to strengthen."
