PREVIEW:
Horsham have the chance to atone for Thursday's dismal performance at Waltham Abbey when they welcome awayday specialists Tooting & Mitcham to Gorings Mead this Saturday.

A place among the play-off places remains on offer, despite passing up the opportunity to move in to 4th place by failing to overcome the division's basement side where goals from Lee Sontag and Rici Crace helped lift the Abbotts off the foot of the table, with Andy Keepence's own goal Horsham's sole consolation on a bitterly disappointing night.

The visit of Tooting will be treated with caution, with the Terrors defending an unbeaten record at Horsham that extends back to August 2000 when Matt Smart, Gavin Geddes and Ryan Andrews were the Hornets' goalscorers in a 3-2 win. This campaign has found the South Londoners equally as impressive on their travels with only 3 away defeats in the league although the most recent, on Tuesday evening, saw them comprehensively outgunned 4-1 at troubled Carshalton Athletic.

One of the few players to emerge from that defeat with any semblance of praise was our former player Tom Graves, who will be assured of a warm welcome from the Hornets supporters after notching more than 200 appearances in our colours before joining Lewes in 2008. Tom will certainly be no stranger to the Gorings Mead set-up, having spent much of the early part of this season with our landlords YMCA.

Tooting's play-off hopes have stalled after a winless run of 5 games that has returned a meagre 2 points but they remain in touching distance, just 3 points behind John Maggs' 6th placed side. Colin Hartburn is likely to miss the game through suspension, having been dismissed on successive weekends, but Nic Donnell could feature in the starting XI after his recent arrival from Bromley. For the Hornets, Alex Haddow is expected to miss his 3rd game in a row, due to work commitments.
