Hayes and Yeading manager Garry Haylock has called this weekend's FA Carlsberg Trophy game against Witham Town as the biggest game of the season, but then he says that every week.
The Conference South Side take on the team two divisions below them, but the Yeading manager says that the weather has been getting in the way of his preparations.
"This is the most important game of the season so far - because it is the next game and the next game is always the most important," he said.
"I want to win every game and everything going and while I do plan ahead, this is the biggest game of the season and then after that the league game on Tuesday will be the biggest.
"Every time we have tried to go and see Witham, the game has been called off, so we don't know too much about them.
"I've spent time looking at their stats and who their goalscorers are, so we are as prepared as we can be from the stats.
"All week I have been telling my players that we are two divisions above them for a reason and if we approach the game with the right attitude then we should have few problems.
"But if they play above themselves and we have an off day then we could have some serious problems."
While Haylock is keen to beat the Ryman League Division One North side on Saturday, his main focus for this season remains on their league campaign.
"As a player I won five FA Cups in Ireland and four league championships, but I would swap all of those cups for one more league title, because the league says you are the best.
"But The Trophy is special and the crowd are always up for it and there is always a carnival atmosphere so hopefully it'll be a good day for the fans."
