BASHLEY target man Ryan Moss has backed his team to extend their unbeaten home run when they face much-fancied Team Bath tonight (7.45pm).

Steve Riley's side have made Bashley Road a fortress in the BGB Premier Division this season, with six victories and four draws from their league fixtures at the venue so far.

But the fourth-placed Students, who are ranked as 4-1 second favourites for the championship by Bet365, could prove the toughest opponents yet.

"We want to sustain our home record and tonight will really show how good we are in this league," Moss told the Daily Echo.

"I've played Team Bath before and they're a big, strong, hard-working side. But if we create a few chances like we did on Saturday and hold firm at the back I don't see why we can't win."

The New Forest team were in fine form at the weekend when they ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at in-form Banbury United.

And Moss thinks a second successive promotion is not beyond the Foresters.

"I don't think there's many teams in this league who we've played and felt 'wow, they're a great team'," he said.

"I think we're going to be right up there. We battle together, we don't always play the best football, but we grind results out and that's what we do well."

Moss will get the chance to continue his blossoming partnership with former Cherries forward Dave Town, as the prolific Richard Gillespie is still sidelined by an ankle injury.

Back-up keeper Stacey Harper returns to the first team squad after playing for the reserves on Saturday.

Bashley: (from) Elm, Gazzard, Morant, Ferrett, Castle, Archbold, Smith, Hardwell, Davis, Moss, Town, Tarr, Keeler, Wakefield, Keeping, Harper.
