MALVERN Town boss Neil Hunt will be gunning for revenge when his side host Oldbury United in the Midland Alliance tonight (7.45pm).
Town lost 2-1 at Oldbury in the league on January 21 and Hunt wants his players to atone for this result, as well as bringing an end to their three-game losing streak.
The Langland Stadium side have only lost six out of 25 Alliance games this season, but four of these defeats have come in their last seven outings.
However, the manager has received a massive boost in the return to fitness of influential midfielder Darren Bullock, who has missed the last three games with an ankle ligament injury.
Hunt said: "We desperately need any sort of result tonight. We played better on Saturday against Racing Club Warwick and deserved at least a draw, but we have no complaints about losing the two games before that.
"Not having Darren available was definitely a big factor in us losing our last three games and I am glad to have him back in the side.
"We are looking to get revenge for Oldbury beating us at their place and hopefully we can win tonight and put a bit of a run together to get us back on the straight and narrow.
"We were in a fantastic position at the top of the league, but our recent results have put a dent in this. Hopefully we can get back on track now."
The return of Bullock means Hunt has a full-strength squad to select from tonight as they bid to build on their four-point lead at the top.
