Luton Town face Blue Square Bet Premier new boys Fleetwood Town on Saturday with manager Richard Money expecting another tough early season test for his side.
The Hatters currently top the table after two matches along with AFC Wimbledon but opponents Fleetwood currently head a pack of five teams who are also unbeaten, having taken four points from their opening games.
The Cod Army, as they are more affectionately known, were promoted last season via the Blue Square Bet North Play-Offs and have adjusted well to life in the Conference when an opening day draw at Rushden and Diamonds was followed by a thumping 3-0 win over Mansfield Town in their first match at this level on home soil.
Looking ahead to the trip to Highbury Stadium Money commented: "I think you've only got to look at the names on their team sheet and I think they'll be playing football the same way as us. They'll be a very, very tough nut to crack. It's first against third, very early in the season, so it looks like being a tough game.
"They've got a lot of league experience in there, they've got a very big squad of senior players and they spent a lot of money putting them together, so it suggests that they going to have a serious challenge.
"They tell me the pitch is really nice and the owner is trying to spend a lot of money to develop the stadium and we're looking forward to going there. I'm not suggesting it's going to be an open game but I think both teams will try and play through the midfield and try and open up opportunities.
"I admire people like Crawley, I've said that. You've got some new owners gone in there who are prepared to spend money to try and develop their football club and Fleetwood are the same.
"It's going to be a really tough game and a big game early one in the season. I would suggest it's a good place for our supporters to visit for a Friday night and Saturday weekend away maybe. Let's hope we can give them something to cheer about."
Reflecting on the Hatters impressive start to the season as one of only two clubs with a 100% record Money added: "Two wins to start with is obviously very pleasing. I think more pleasing than the six points is the way that we've played.
"The performance level normally dictates how you're going to finish up with the result in the game, and performances have been of the highest order in first two matches so we want to keep that going.
"Passing, movement, rotation of the team and the quality of the passing have been extremely good and the number of chances that we've created in the previous two matches have been very impressive.
"Kettering was always going to be a tough place to play, they've been perennial challengers and they were very aggressive but that's fine. I think Fleetwood will be more of a football team, and judging by the personnel that they have, and their result against Mansfield was very impressive, so it suggests it's going to be a very tough game."
