Basingstoke (0) - Hemel Hempstead (0)

Basingstock justified us in the previous match, even though they needed two goals in the delays to make the upset (2-1) against Eastbourne away from home. The tail of the Southern Group has now made two consecutive victories and with the transfer moves it made, it shows that it is determined to fight for its stay. Today it welcomes Hemel Hemstid whose away performance scares us (6-4-0). Are we going against such a big unbeaten streak? I say dare as I was discouraged by the news that Hemel sold her best player (Oliver Hawkins) to Dagenham, while there are three definite absences (two punished + one injured) and one doubtful. It's also the coach's statements that confirm my view of Basingstoke ("I'm absolutely shocked that Basingstoke are in the position that they are in because they have got some fantastic players like (Chris) Flood, (Lloyd) Macklin, "Manny Williams and Dom Hyam. I know they are bottom of the table but I'm really cautious because I know they are a very good team."
