Player-manager Scott Rogers believes Willand Rovers have a rough idea of what to expect when Aveley visit in the FA Cup third qualifying round – but admits they still face a major task to progress.
Rovers host the Isthmian League Division One North outfit on Saturday in what is a massive game for the club.
The Silver Street side beat Blackfield & Langley 1-0 in the last round thanks to Luke Alden's goal, with the same player later dismissed for two yellow cards.
Rogers dispatched assistant manager Russell Jee to watch Aveley's match at the weekend, and while he is glad for the extra information, is has confirmed what a task awaits them.
"Russell went up to London to watch them on Saturday and he came back with a match report and everything, so we know what to expect," said Rogers, whose side lost 3-1 at Bristol Manor Farm on Tuesday.
"We now know what they are about, but we also know that it will be a very, very tough game. I said 50-50 before and I would stand by that because they are a very good team.
"Having the home support is crucial though and hopefully we can make that count. Hopefully we can have the same type of support that we did in the last round."
Last Saturday saw Rogers hail the impact of two new signings after they overcame Winterbourne United 3-2.
Simon Ingram, who only joined the Silver Street club from Taunton Town last week, twice drew Rovers level with superb free-kicks on his debut.
And young striker Tom Bath, who has had limited opportunities since signing from Alphington over the summer, then scored the winner after a fine performance as a second-half substitute.
"We were very flat and I could not see us getting anything, but it was also a bit false because we were playing on a 3G pitch which we aren't used to and in front of a crowd of about 25," said Rogers.
"But we managed to get through it with two pieces of magic from Simon Ingram, who scored two fantastic free-kicks for us.
"Tom Bath came on and put in a real shift for about 35 to 40 minutes and scored our winning goal too.
"I was really pleased for him because he has had to be really patient and wait for his chance with us."
