Sean Ray says the relegation scrap at home to Thurrock today (Saturday) is a game Hastings United must win.

Third-bottom United haven’t achieved a Ryman Football League Premier Division victory since November 6 and there would be no better time to end that barren run than against second-bottom Thurrock.

United player-manager Ray said: “It’s a game that I feel we have to win now. If we’re lose on Saturday we’re going to have it all to do. We’ve got to keep them below us and start reeling in the teams above us.”

The U’s earned a 1-1 draw in December’s reverse fixture, a highly commendable result given that it came less than 48 hours after the FA Cup penalty shoot-out victory over Harrogate Town.
