Mark Bower says Guiseley will face one of the toughest tests of the season on Boxing Day as Grimsby Town visit Nethermoor in the Vanarama National League.
Grimsby sit fourth in the table ahead of Saturday’s fixture – the first between the sides in league competition – with Paul Hurst’s men having taken maximum points from their last five league games.
The Lions go into the game off the back of a frustrating 1-0 defeat at the hands of Aldershot but Bower is eager to see a response from his squad this weekend against one of this season’s title hopefuls.
“It’s a massive, massive game. There’s been lots of tickets sold and from what I’ve seen in the league this year, they [Grimsby] are the best side in it,” explained the gaffer.
“So it’s a massive challenge for us and a difficult game but we’ve got to lick our wounds and look at what went right and what wrong against Aldershot.
“And hopefully we can get results in the games over Christmas because they come thick and fast and if you can get points you move up the table quickly.
“We’ve got to learn the lessons from Saturday and look to go again on Saturday against Grimsby.
“I’m sure the lads will enjoy themselves [over Christmas] but within limitations and make sure they’re properly right for Boxing Day because if they’re not, coming up against a side like Grimsby, we’ll get found out.”
