Carshalton Athletic v Horsham: MATCH PREVIEW

Horsham should field an unchanged side for Tuesday's visit to struggling Carshalton Athletic, despite their weekend defeat by Tonbridge. John Maggs' side produced one of their poorest displays of the season in going down 3-0 to Tommy Warrilow's promotion chasers but the manager admitted that there wasn't much he could do to shake his side up.

"Pretty much every fit player I've got will be involved," he said. "Sam Tucknott's not responded too well to treatment so he looks like he's going to be out for the season and Tony Nwachukwu's come back from Nigeria with a bug so it's touch and go as to whether he'll be okay for Tuesday so it'll probably be as we were on Saturday."

Maggs was disappointed with his players' capitulation against a fairly unimpressive Angels team who took the points thanks to 3 unforced errors from the Hornets. "Maybe they think they've got nothing to play for, I don't know, but what I will say is that I expect every team I put out to go out and give it 100% and there's not many of my players who can claim to have done that on Saturday. We've got 4 games left and every one of those matches involve teams either pushing for promotion or looking to avoid the drop so we need to make sure we go in with exactly the right attitude or we're going to get turned over. I want to end this season on a positive note, achieve our highest ever finish if we can, and I would expect the players to be playing for that and their pride if nothing else."

Carshalton are among those battling against relegation and club captain David Ray's 89th minute equaliser against Harrow Borough on Saturday might yet prove crucial if, as is rumoured, the Premier Division loses just 3 sides to Division One at the end of the season. The Robins have actually lost just once in the last 6 games and will probably require 2 more wins to guarantee their top flight status for another year.

History, though, is not on their side with Horsham not having lost on their visits to Colston Avenue since December 2002. Last season's corresponding match saw the Hornets record their biggest away win of the season, 5-1, but the points were shared earlier in this campaign when Horsham scored twice in the second half to gain a point from a 2-2 draw
