WIMBORNE Town need to "knuckle down and get back to basics" for their trip to Horndean tomorrow, according to Christer Warren.

The Magpies player-boss was far from happy after seeing his side whimper to a 1-1 draw at lowly New Milton Town on Tuesday night and has called for an immediate response.

He said: "It's going to be one of those games again where we need a reaction.

"It was just a little hiccup and shows how far we've come that when we get a draw it's a bad result for us.

"We've got to put a performance in and get the three points."

Tom McCormick is struggling with a dead leg, while striker James Stokoe has a hamstring problem.

Wimborne Town: (from) Hutchings, Arnold, McCormick, Whitcher, Warren, Roast, Phillipson-Masters, James, Vavrecka, Joyce, Walker, Stokoe, Bailey-Pearce, Moore, Languish.

SELECTION DILEMMA

PHIL Simkin has some difficult decisions to make over team selection for Hamworthy United's home game against Alresford Town (3pm).

Some of Hammers' fringe men left Simkin with a headache after the team won 1-0 at Brading Town on Wednesday night without a number of first choice players.

The Hammers boss must decide whether to recall regulars Carl Mutch, Carl Chivers and Jack Swann, or stick with the likes of Keith Middleton and Ryan Middleton, who both came into the side on the Island.

Hamworthy United: (from) Peters, R Middleton, Gilbert, Horlock, Walker, Dean, Legg, Hubbard, K Middleton, Byerley, Dovell, Mutch, Chivers, Jackson, Williams, Swann.

DEFENSIVE SHUFFLE

RINGWOOD Town will have to make do without three central defenders for their trip to Lymington Town (3pm).

Boss Jy Taylor must re-jig his backline with captain Mark Burrett, Tom Yates (both injured) and Simon Kerley (suspended) all unavailable.

Nick Russon is likely to deputise, with Dan Brunnen in line for a move into the middle from right-back.

New signing Dave Cox, a 17-year-old capture from Bournemouth Poppies, will also come into contention.

Ringwood Town: (from) Goodman, Brunnen, Cox, Russon, Greaves, Leadbitter, Foster, Finlay, Howes, Gogan, Wright, Chilcott, Head, Godwin, Sajic, Carroll.

TOWN'S SIX-POINTER

ADIE Arnold described Verwood Town's Division One showdown at second-placed Laverstock and Ford tomorrow (3pm) as a "real six-pointer".

Verwood could leapfrog Laverstock with a win, which would be a real boost for their promotion aspirations.

"We're going there on a good run and I've got confidence in my lads," said Arnold.

Verwood Town: (from) Willis, Freeman, Beverley, Lynch, Yerby, Homer, Dyer, Giles, Arnold, Faulkner, Elysee, King, Goodall.
