DARWEN embark on what manager Steve Wilkes describes as "a big week" for the club.
The Anchor Ground side are in North West Counties Division Two action tonight when they entertain Flixton before hosting neighbours Great Harwood on Saturday then Padiham on Easter Monday.
And Wilkes, disappointed after only picking up a point at Eccleshall at the weekend, believes his side must win all of their remaining five games to put themselves in the frame for promotion.
"It's not long ago that we were flying with three away wins on the trot and hadn't conceded a goal," he said.
"But we've only picked up two points out of nine since we lost 6-0 at Leek, which you can write off as a freak result.
"So we need to win five out of five."
