Portland United face Wincanton in the Wessex League Premier tonight as they look to bounce back from their cup defeat to Baffins Milton Rovers at the weekend. 

The Blues are in the midst of a four game run over 10 days, but Blues joint manager Josh Hickman believes the quick turnaround means the team can 'put a few things right'.

He said: "It was a really positive performance against a top side in Baffins. We asked for that from the players and we got it. 

"We probably created the majority of chances, and on another day we could have won but we were punished on Saturday.

"Our lads were gutted to lose, but the quick turnaround is good after a loss like that to put a few things right."

Portland have been in good form of late. despite the cup exit to Baffins, having won three and drawn one of their previous four games. 

The run of results has lifted the club to within a point of the play off spots, but Hickman is wary of getting over confident as they travel to Somerset.

Wincanton have had a tough start to the season having won just once in nine league games, albeit, against a strong Baffins side.

However, the Wasps have conceded 16 goals in three games, including a 7-0 thrashing against Southern League side Petersfield in the FA Vase and an 8-1 mauling away to Andover New Street.

Hickman added: "it's looking like a season where anyone can beat anyone but you can't look to much into that.

"Our priority is to put in good performances as they lead to consistency, and the results are showing that.

"It won't be an easy game against Wincanton but we will be fully prepared.

"It will probably be a bit of a different game to the last few and we will have to show a different side to our game and we will have to play to the conditions.

"They are a good fit and physical side and good aerialy, as well a good footballing side.

"I Imagine it will be a heavy pitch but we will prepare and show the best version of ourselves."

Young defender Darren Husher, who made his first competitive start against Baffins is now away for three weeks on holiday, whilst skipper Josh Williams in unavailable for the trip to Somerset.

Shane Evans could also miss out due to work and Connor Callow remains injured.

Kick off at the Wincanton Sports Ground is at 7.45pm on Tuesday, October 1.
