MANAGER Paul Collicutt has described tomorrow’s Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South and West match against Taunton Town (3pm) as the biggest of Evesham United’s season.

With eight games to go, the Robins sit third in the table and are on course for one of the coveted play-off places.

Victory at the Jubilee Stadium would see Evesham close the gap on second-placed Taunton to just two points.

Finishing second remains the aim for United given leaders Merthyr have a 10-point cushion at the summit.

“It is our biggest game of the season without a doubt and it’s at home as well,” Collicutt said. “They won 4-1 at Cinderford on Tuesday so they have gone five points in front of us. They are in a good run of form so will be coming to us in good spirits.

“If we are looking to finish as high as we can in the table, it’s a fixture we have to look to do well in.

“There’s a lot to be played for. We have got eight games left and 24 points to play for.

We are in good form and everybody within the club is looking forward to the game.

“I just hope we can get a positive result on Saturday.”

Collicutt has also called on the Evesham fans to turn out in their droves as the team bid to stretch their unbeaten run to eight games.

He added: “It would be nice to get the Evesham people behind us, we need them more than in any other game this season. The crowds have been encouraging and hopefully Taunton will bring a few people with them as well because they are one of the better supported teams.”

Defenders Will Wellon (hamstring) and Lewis Binns (ankle) remain on the sidelines as does midfielder Elliot Kennedy.

But winger Marcus Jackson is back after missing last Saturday’s 2-0 home win against Fleet Town because he was at a wedding.
