Hastings United boss Tony Dolby has admitted he expects a tough game when he takes his relegation battlers to Ashford (Middlesex) on Friday.

United have picked up back-to-back wins at home and go into the game fourth from bottom.

Dolby said: "They have a terrific home record with something like ten wins out of their last 11 games.

"It is a tough place to go as they also have a few games in hand and could get in the play-offs if they win. They are going to be a tough nut to crack but one I am sure we can.

"We have won five out of ten, drawn one and only lost four. Prior to me turning up it was only one win in 15 matches. We have turned it around and I would be extremely disappointed if we win half our games and don't stay up."

Dolby chooses from the same squad which beat Harrow Borough 1-0 last weekend.
