BIRMINGHAM promoter Graham Drury has stressed the importance of the next four days as his team bids to keep pace at the top of the Premier League table. Brummies take on reigning champions Edinburgh at Perry Barr Perry Barr is an area in north Birmingham, England. It is also a council constituency, managed by its own district committee. The constituency includes the smaller Perry Barr ward and the wards of Handsworth Wood, Lozells and East Handsworth, and Oscott. tonight (7.30pm) before facing tough away trips to Somerset and Rye House Rye House may refer to:
The latter fixtures are against teams who are both unbeaten at home so far, although with away wins at a premium so far this season, Drury is aware the 'bonus' points available for keeping defeats at six points or less could be very important. Rusty Harrison makes his debut tonight as a replacement for the axed Robert Ksiezak, and Brummies need him to produce some solid middle-order scores, with all-round performances now essential with Richard Sweetman out of the reserve berth and therefore unable to take multiple extra rides. Drury said: "Losing at home last week was a big disappointment, and we know where we lost it. "I've made the change with Rusty coming in, and I do think it will make us stronger all round. "I'm happy with what we've got at reserve, both Lee (Smart) and Jay (Herne) have been riding well, and it was just unfortunate that Jason (Lyons) and Tomasz (Piszcz) were below their best last week - but they've rescued us on so many occasions in the past. "Tomasz wasn't fully fit against Glasgow, which we weren't aware of at the time, but we had a long talk after the meeting and he should be back to normal now after some more time off. "It's an important week for us, we need to win tonight and our away matches are at the kind of venues where we do need to get some points if we're going to finish where we want to."
