74-point target for Bath City run-in
Bath City boss Adie Britton has set his side a 74-point target to make the Blue Square South play-offs.
That means his team will need to win all of their six remaining games, starting with today's home match with Braintree Town.
City disappointingly drew 2-2 at home to Thurrock on Tuesday night and Britton admitted: "It's a huge blow to us, it probably means we've got to go and win every game to get to where we want to be – 74 points."
Britton has fitness concerns over Adam Connolly and Chris Holland ahead of the visit of Braintree, but hopes to have Ali Gibb available after his late withdrawal on Tuesday night.
Mark Badman (groin) and Steve Jones are also expected to be fit.
City are likely to include former Dorchester left winger Ronayne Marsh-Brown in their squad tomorrow.
Bath City (from): P Evans, G Jones, Holland, Coupe, Rollo, Gibb, Simpson, Hogg, Badman, Rogers, Marsh-Brown, Gilroy, Edwards, Douglas, S Jones, Slocombe.
