THE Dragons are roaring at the moment after four straight wins and the next side looking to slay them are Weymouth.
They will visit on Saturday (3pm) and Town know a victory would move them above their Dorset rivals.
It will also give the home side a chance to avenge a 3-0 defeat earlier in the season, when Weymouth were very much the better side.
Town manager Terry Brown will have to reshuffle his line-up as captain David Ray looks set to miss the game after picking up a calf injury at Banbury and Matt Partridge is still suspended. Charlie Kennedy will slot into the centre of defence , as the club’s other centre half Mark Hastings is ruled out due to illness.
The Basingstoke boss is also hopeful to have midfielder Ashleigh Artwell back in the line-up from injury.
Looking ahead to the game Brown said: “Tuesday night was our best performance over a whole 90 minutes. In the previous game the opposition always look like they would have a chance, but at Banbury we really shut them out.
“We know Weymouth will be a tough test as they really beat us well at their place.”
