BRAINTREE Town Reserves manager Lee Fisher wants his players to learn from earlier mistakes when they face Wisbech St Mary again tonight.

The Young Irons twice held two-goal leads against Wisbech before being pegged back to a 3-3 draw when they faced them in a Thurlow Nunn League division one clash at the IronmongeryDirect Stadium at the start of February.

And Fisher hopes his side will have learned from that game when they go head-to-head in the reverse fixture tonight.

"We know how they will set up and where their strengths and weaknesses are," said Fisher.

"We had a video of that previous game and watched it through with the lads so we could go through where we got caught out in that game and where our own strengths were.

"We have to be at a high tempo and make sure we start quickly and strongly.

"That's where we got success in the previous league game; when we had a strong start in the first half.

"We got bullied a bit in the second half and that's when we conceded goals so we have to make sure that doesn't happen again.

"Wisbech play a 4-4-2 formation and they are pretty strict with that.

"They don't come out of shape very much and we have to be tight.

"It's a smaller pitch over there than ours and we have to make sure we play at the right tempo from the start."

Tonight's game is the first meeting between the two sides this week as they are also due to clash at Braintree in the semi-finals of the First Division Knockout Cup on Tuesday, but Fisher doesn't expects this first encounter to be much of a guide for the one following.

He added: "It's not ideal going all the way to Wisbech in midweek and we've got three or four players out through work commitments, so we think that will mean they'll look at it more as an indicator for the cup fixture than we will.

"We'll have a full squad available for Tuesday so we'll be changed then.

"We have a plan for next week and we know what we want to do.

"However, we'll be going out to win the league game to give them something to think about."
