Dorchester have to prolong the goal drought of one of their former favourites if they are to pick up their first away point of the season tonight.

The Magpies travel to Weston-super-Mare's Woodspring Park for their first confrontation with former Avenue Stadium goal hero Danny O'Hagan since he turned down their offer of a new contract and joined Weston's successful promotion charge from the Dr Martens Western Division last season.

But while the Magpies are among the highest goalscorers in the Premier Division with ten goals in five matches, O'Hagan and his side have found goals hard to come by so far.

Frank Gregan's men average just a goal a game and have a solid defence to thank for a record that has brought them the same number of points as Mark Morris' side.

Morris said O'Hagan's game should not spring any surprises for his own defenders.

"You know what you will get from Danny," he said today. "He's a big strong lad who runs all over the place and always gives 100 per cent .

"He hasn't scored since the opening day of the season but he will always cause you problems and you can bet he will be trying extra hard tonight."

With the need to get points away from home if they are to qualify for the Conference next season,

Morris had toyed with the idea of being more defensive on their travels.

However with news of quick recoveries today for Martin Shepherd and Matt Hann, who both picked up knocks and were substituted during the 4-1 win over Chelmsford City on Saturday, Dorchester's boss may decide to leave well alone.

"With games coming thick and fast, there are a few bumps and bruises around with Sheps, Matt and Matty Tubbs all on the receiving end of some tough tackles on Saturday. But apart from Matt Groves who is still a week away, everyone should be fit tonight," said Morris. "If we had continued to defend like we did at Cambridge and Havant I might have been tempted to change it a bit," he said. "But the wide players like Justin Keeler and Matt Hann are the ones you would have to sacrifice to do that and they have been playing very well.

"We have defended a lot better in the last two games and if we keep to that standard I am confident we can get something tonight."
