DORCHESTER Town will take the game to Chesham United today (3pm) despite the Generals’ play-off push, assistant boss James Wood has revealed.

Chesham are currently fourth in an increasingly tight race for the top five, while Dorchester are safe in 12th and mid-table obscurity.

But Wood cooled any notion that Dorchester could adjust their tactics to exploit a Chesham side desperate for three points.

He instead pointed to Dorchester’s own ambitions, the Magpies chasing their best league finish since 2015/16.

Wood told Echosport: “You’re talking about established teams.

"It doesn’t really come as a shock to them, they’ve got strong and healthy squads.

“You’d like to think we can catch them off guard and a little bit of nerves would possibly come into their play.

“But they’re very experienced and we know it’s going to be a hard ask.”

He added: “Chesham could put any one of six forward players out, they’re very good going forward.

“Their front three, front four as they become, are all potent and that can be rotated. They have a really attacking threat.

“It’s always risky if you say: ‘We’re going sit there and catch teams on the counter’.

“Trying to quell that attacking threat they possess is very difficult and we’re fully aware of that.

“We’ve still got our own targets and we’re very much focused on that. We want to pick up some points from now until the end of the season.

“We want to finish on a points total and position that Dorchester haven’t finished in for a while.

“We’ve very much got our own targets in mind and the players are aware.”

Charlie Gunson (hamstring), Kieran Douglas (groin) and Callum Buckley (calf) will be assessed.
