Sittingbourne will prepare for this weekend's FA Cup tie by watching a video nasty.

The Brickies have started filming games and there's plenty for manager Aslan Odev to go through after a 5-4 Bostik South East defeat at Thamesmead.

He wants to get a crazy game out of his side's system before they host Gosport Borough in the FA Cup first qualifying round on Saturday.

Odev said: "We'll review the footage with the players - it's something we're trying to make a regular thing.

"I know some other clubs film games but it's something I feel will give us an edge.

"It was top of my to-do list when we came back for pre-season.

"I wanted to organise it and fortunately we've got the tools and the personnel to do it.

"It's different when you watch games back.

"When you're in the dugout or one of the players you have that split-second.

"By filming games, we're able to pause, rewind and go through things slowly and you're better placed to analyse.

"It's important we do that after Saturday but we're hoping that game is just an anomaly.

"You feel sorry for the defenders - but only to a point.

"You can't score four goals away from home and lose."

There's £6,000 in prize money at stake for the Brickies this weekend.

They start underdogs against a Gosport side who play a level above them in the Southern League Premier Division South.

But Odev is backing his men to give Boro a good game and put back-to-back league defeats to bed.

He said: "This is a big game for the club. I'm buzzing for it and I know the players are.

"It's an opportunity to get out of this little bad patch we're in.

"I know it's only two games but we set high standards here and we don't want it to be getting to three or four defeats.

"We want it to stop now.

"You think about the prize money a little bit because it would be great for the club but we always want to win and perform our best.

"Gosport play at a higher level than us but we won't roll over.

"I relish those fixtures where we play against better opponents than we're used to.

"It's a chance for the boys to go out and perform and put themselves in the spotlight."
