Fisher v Welling

WELLING boss Neil Smith takes his team to Fisher on New Year's Day keen to avenge their defeat six days earlier.

The Wings produced a pathetic performance on Boxing Day as they lost 1-0 at home to Fisher and Smith knows an immediate improvement is needed.

He said: "Fisher made it known after the game that they were happy to beat us so we will be up for this game."

Smith will be boosted by the return of Joe Howe, who was stretchered off on Boxing Day but has made a quick recovery.

Richard Carpenter (knee) faces a late fitness test while Omari Coleman and Leon Solomon are both rated doubtful.

Welling, who scored their first Blue Square South goals in seven games when they drew 2-2 with Thurrock on Saturday, are without a win in their last seven league matches.
