Prentice revealed Boro boss Neil Kitching has been calling for his side to sustain their unbeaten form.

They welcome Goole looking to set the pace at the top of the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League First Division South.

Prentice said: "We set the lads a target of going 10 games unbeaten and if they pass that then we'll make it 15 and go from there.

"Psychologically, this season they seem to have broken through the barriers of last year where they were struggling at home.

"We lost about 15 points at home from those situations and they have got over it. We're the biggest football club in the league and playing in front of 400, 500 or 600 fans isn't easy, at times."

Fabrice Kasiama and Joe Thomas both had game-time against Tividale on Tuesday and Prentice was pleased with what we saw.

He said: "Fab makes people stand up. He has that ability, it was his first match in two years."

Sam Griffiths and Tom Morris both miss the visit of Goole through injuries.
