Graham Drury talks up Corby Town promotion chances
Drury led Corby to the Southern Premier title in 2008/09
Corby Town manager Graham Drury says that his team are a match for any other side in the Blue Square Bet North.
The Steelmen lie 10th, 12 points outside the play-offs, with a game in hand on Nuneaton Town in 5th.
Drury told BBC Radio Northampton: "I think I've got as good a squad as anybody, on our day.
"We haven't been consistent. Every club I've been at, the away form has been spot on, so we need to improve on that and keep the home form going."
Corby have only lost once at home in the league all season, but have only won once on their travels.
"[Leaders] Alfreton have got a good budget and they'll stay strong," said Drury.
With the forecast, I can't see us playing until the new year

"I don't think AFC Telford are as good as us. It was 0-0 at home and we should've beaten them.
"We were the better side against Boston, despite drawing at home and losing 1-0 at their place. Blyth Spartans somehow beat us and I certainly don't think they're better.
"But now we have to start taking points from the top sides, to catch them, and the bottom sides as well."
Due to the snow and freezing conditions, the Steelmen have not had a match since the FA Trophy tie against Telford on 20 November.
"With the forecast, I can't see us playing until the new year.
"That would be six weeks without kicking a ball. The players could be getting lethargic without getting out, and it'll be like starting again," Drury admitted.
