The versatile 19-year-old [James Armson] said: "I'm learning all the time and it's special being in a team that get's on so well with one another. The spirit is tremendous on and off the pitch. There's a lot of banter and good humour, mainly from the senior andmuch older players, but the younger lads are growing in confi-dence all the time and are beginning to give as good as they take. "It's that camaraderie which comes into play when the odds are stacked against us. We just run and battle for one another,like on Saturday when we were 3-0 up that could so easily have been six or seven, but suddenly Clevedon scored twice in quick succession and we were under pressure.
"There's a confidence and belief within the squad and while Farnborough are unbeaten in the league this term that's a run we aim to stop. We don't fear anyone at this level!"
TEENAGER James Armson continues to produce eye-catching performances for Nuneaton Town and is just one of a handful of home-grown youngsters pulling the strings in the club's promotion push in the Zamaretto Premier Division.
But despite all the accolades going around praising the Boro `kids', Armson and his fellow young guns, such as Gareth Dean, Eddie Nisevic, Ed Matthews, Lee Moore and on loan Coventry City midfield ace Adam Walker, are keeping their feet firmly on theground and their heads held high.

We just run and battle for one another,like on Saturday when we were 3-0 up that could so easily have been six or seven, but suddenly Clevedon scored twice in quick succession and we were under pressure.
"But we pulled together over the last 15 minutes or so and in the end came through well to win 4-2 and keep ourselves in the top four."
Armson, who in just 11 league starts this term netted his seventh goal in the latest success, has been outstanding wherever he's been asked to play and in his favourite centre midfield role on Saturday set-up chances sweetly taken by Dean and Walker.
"Obviously getting among the scorers was pleasing but I get just as much pleasure from creating goals as well and setting up the first for Gareth was great.
"When I pulled the ball across the six-yard box I saw Gareth unmarked and he doesn't miss too many from three yards out, in fact he's deadly! But we are great mates and always enjoy it when either of us get on the scoresheet."
Armson stresses tomorrow night's away Red Insure Cup tie at Halesowen Town is one they want to win but regards Saturday's trip to runaway leaders Farnborough as the major priority.
"I hope me and Gareth can get among the goals in that one but we would all be happy with a win, no matter who scores. It's the biggest league match of the season so far and we are looking forward to it.
"There's a confidence and belief within the squad and while Farnborough are unbeaten in the league this term that's a run we aim to stop. We don't fear anyone at this level!"
