Ashford Town v Margate

Margate manager Barry Ashby is looking for a change in luck as his team seek their first away win of the Ryman League Premier Division season, against Ashford Town (Middlesex) on Saturday.

Gate have lost their last three games, including Saturday's 5-1 F.A Cup hammering at Worthing, but Ashby isn't too concerned.

"I'm not too worried by our away form," he said. "Too be honest we've been a bit unlucky in a couple of the games. The performances have been good but the luck just hasn't been there.

"Every game in this league is tough and Ashford is going to be no different. They've got a good side and made a good start, but they've lost a few games recently and that should give us some confidence."

Ashby expects there to be a couple of injury absentees from Saturday's squad, but is set to wait on the results of tonight's fitness tests before making any decisions.
