GRAHAM Turner will ram home the message to his Hereford United players that they can't be complacent against struggling Farnborough Town tomorrow.
The Bulls boss, fresh from landing the Nationwide Conference manager of the month award, is guarding against over-confidence among his table-topping squad.
Turner's men will go into the game full of confidence following an excellent 2-0 win at fellow high-flyers Stevenage last week, which kept them a point clear of Aldershot at the top.
But the United boss said: "You've always got to make sure that complacency doesn't creep in.
"We are top of the league based on the hard work and application that we have put in recently and that will be the message loud and clear.
"We are going to have to work really hard and anybody who thinks we are going to Farnborough for an easy game can forget it.
"They've not had the best of starts and have struggled at home but if people think Stevenage was going to be the hard game and Farnborough a pushover they can think again."
Paul Parry and Jamie Pitman have shaken off knocks that forced them to sit out a couple of training sessions earlier in the week and are expected to start. Danny Carey-Bertram could also be added to the squad having recovered from a leg strain.
Summer signing David Brown, still waiting for his first start of the season, is in Turner's thoughts but the Edgar Street boss admits the team is picking itself at the moment.
"David Brown has staked a claim with his winner at Aldershot but at the moment there hasn't been a need to change it," he added.
Tommy Taylor's Farnborough side, who survived a tumultuous season last year when former boss Graham Westley decamped with half the squad, have seen further change over the summer with just four players remaining at Cherrywood Road.
Among the names to watch out for are striker Andre Fashanu, on loan from Reading, and who is expected to go straight into the squad tomorrow. Fashanu is the nephew of former Wimbledon and Aston Villa forward John.
Farnborough forward Leroy Griffiths incurred the wrath of Exeter City boss Eamonn Dolan for allegedly biting during the sides' 1-1 draw last week.
The Grecians' Alex Jeannin was sent off in the closing stages after clashing with Griffiths, who had scored a late equaliser and claimed afterwards that he had reacted to being bitten on the cheek.
