Billy Miller believes his Harrogate Railway team can break the 50 point barrier
Harrogate Railway chief Billy Miller is backing his players to surpass last season’s total.
Railway are 12th in the Evo Stik Division One North and eight more points will fulfil that aim.
Miller’s side entertain Clitheroe at Station View tomorrow and the Railway boss has his eyes on achieving the club’s highest points finish since 2008.
“I say to the lads each week to keep believing and now we can kick on,” he told Sports Performer.
“We don’t have to play Darlington again as we have played them twice so we have a good run of games now.
“We have Clitheroe tomorrow which will be a hard game. We don’t under-estimate them. We said to the lads after the Darlington game that we don’t go out and perform against Clitheroe then the Darlington game means nothing.
“I think we have got ourselves out of trouble. The chances of us being involved in anything at the bottom of the league are low. We’re a couple of wins away from making sure we don’t.
“40 points will see us through and then let’s see where we can go. Let’s break the 50 point barrier.
“We got 41 points last season and we’re seven points off that so that has to be the first target. After that, can we break the 50 point barrier?
“I think this team is good enough to do that, definitely.”
