Shots Out To Improve Home Form Against Orient

By David Richardson

Vanarama National League leaders Aldershot Town know they must improve their home form despite sitting top of the pile.

Two consecutive away wins at Ebbsfleet United and Gateshead have put the injury-hit Shots back on track having only won once in their previous six.

Aldershot are back at the EBB Stadium on Saturday when they take on Leyton Orient, who have lost their last three games.

But their home record hasn't been perfect in recent weeks after suffering defeats against Chester and Dover Athletic.

Now assistant manager James Rowe is hoping they can but those setbacks behind them.

"It was two great away wins for us. We're very much looking forward to Leyton Orient on Saturday," he said. "It should be a good crowd and atmosphere and we'll be ready after the session tomorrow.

"We need to improve our home form, there's no disguising that. The way the team has bounced back from the Dover game has been outstanding so we hope to maintain those standards.

"The Chester game we dominated and created enough chances to win two games. Against Dover we were quite young, we had a few new players in the team. It was a big ask against an experienced manager and a team that's full of confidence.

"Going into Saturday we don't want to dwell on that but we'll look to put it right."
