SEVEN out of Evesham United's next ten Southern League Premier Division outings are away from Common Road starting on Saturday at Hitchin Town, writes Mervyn Collins.

The Hertfordshire side will come into this weekend's game on the back of a 6-2 thrashing at Tiverton and with only three teams- Chesham, Northwood and Yate - having conceded more goals.

Only Cirencester and Aylesbury, however, have found the net on fewer occasions than Dave Busst's men so the Robins will be happy to have top scorer Richard Ball available again after serving a one-match suspension.

Leon Blake should also bolster Busst's resources after a family matter prevented his participation last Saturday, but namesake Adam will be an absentee.

"Games are going to come thick and fast for the next month or so and we will be going out there to try and win every single one of them," said assistant manager Paul West.

"Our relegation worries won't be over in January but we have certainly got to start turning draws into wins if we are going to give ourselves a chance of getting away from the lower reaches."

West admitted that he was "disappointed" with the way Evesham played up front last weekend and also had a few words of advice for the forwards.

"It just showed how much work Bally does but now he's back it's important that he gels with Willo (John Williams) and they learn to become more unselfish.

"The biggest threat from opposing sides are the two men up front and our two guys are good enough to upset any defence but we've got to get more goals from elsewhere and take the chances when they arrive."
