DEFENDER Chris Honor returns to the Basingstoke Town squad tomorrow after missing the last two games due to a two-game suspension.

The Camrose Blues side travel to Bedford to face a side they drew 1-1 with earlier in the season.

Last Saturday, Bedford drew with bottom-placed Croydon as Town got back to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Hendon.

Manager Ernie Howe is looking for his side to repeat the passion and commitment they showed on Saturday.

He said: "We showed desire and applied ourselves well against Hendon and got what we deserved - all three points."

The Town boss is now hoping that this result will breed confidence into his troops as they enter the last quarter of the league campaign.

He said: "We will be looking to pick up as many points as possible to move us up the table."

Striker Richard Newbery has extended his loan spell at Chesham to a second month, while Jimmy Fraser has also been loaned out to Chippenham.

This brings the number of Town's players on loan to four as Rob Cook is currently at Bath and Mike Davis at Mangotsfield.

Town (from): Tarr, Herbert, Foster, Sumner, Christie, Bristow, Wilkinson, Lisk, Elad, Girdler, Eaton, Gorman, Spence, Hayfield, Forbes, Sills, Honor.
