Kevin Parrish wants his team to bounce back from their opening defeat of the season by beating the defending champions at home.

Mos’ 100% record in ENIHL Division 1 South was ended at the reigning play-off champions Chelmsford Chieftains on Sunday and Parrish (pictured) said: "It was a bit of a wake-up call."

He added: "The players were all down afterwards and said they know it wasn’t good enough and that is a good sign at least. They want to put it right on Sunday."

Division 1 South champions Wightlink Raiders visit Silver Blades on Sunday (5.15pm) and Parrish said: "We expect they will come with a negative game plan, they did it last year, to try and hold us back. It worked for them then and I don’t see why they would change it."

He added: "We need two points, we can’t afford to lose home games. We need to turn our home back into a fortress and put fear into the other top sides."

Parrish said the key would be: "More shooting. If you don’t buy a ticket you won’t win a prize. We need the players to sometimes be a bit greedier and get shots off."

Copland returns on Sunday but Tim Smith will be unavailable for several weeks after returning to Sheffield for personal reasons.

Parrish said: "He will be a big miss but hopefully we’ll have him back soon."
