Fraserburgh manager Mark Cowie is keeping his feet planted firmly on the ground as they aim to move closer to Breedon Highland League glory.
The Broch – who sit a point clear of Buckie Thistle at the top of the table – face Nairn County at Bellslea.
Victory would put the Buchan side 90 minutes away a first league title since 2002.
But, with the margins so tight, Cowie knows one mistake could prove to be very costly.
He said: “We’re not getting carried away. We know Buckie are on our tails and we know Nairn and Forres want to win these games against us.
“Every team wants to win every game they play, so if we take our foot off the gas we’ll give other teams an opportunity and we can’t afford to do that.
“We’ve got to keep our feet on the ground and make sure we turn up and hopefully we can win.
“But we’re under no illusions as to how difficult a match it will be.
“Everyone wants to be top of the league, it’s in our hands and we control our destiny, which is the good thing.
“But one slip-up will let Buckie in and we don’t have time to recover, so we have to be at it.”
Gethins looks to shake things up
Nairn have lost their last five games and only scored two goals in the process, but striker Conor Gethins is hoping for a change in fortunes.
He added: “There are a lot of characters in our changing room who won’t give up and don’t have a give up mentality.
“Fraser Dingwall is a great example. He loves football, loves everything about it, is always desperate to win and gets annoyed when we don’t win.
“These guys won’t give up and it would be nice if we had a say in the title race.
“If you go into games half-hearted and you’re not bothered then there’s no point in being there.
“It would be good to shake things up a wee bit, but we know it will be a massive challenge for us.”
