Hampton & Richmond v Welling
Welling assistant manager Jimmy Dack has called on the club's fans to embrace James Baker's return to Park View Road.
Baker will link up with 22-goal Charlie Sheringham in Blue Square South for the first time since rejoining the Wings from Chelmsford.
The forward left under a cloud in December to join the big-spending Essex outfit but Dack says now is the time to forgive and forget.
"We've come in for some criticism from some of the supporters for bringing him back but we want what's best for Welling," said Dack.
"When James left he told me that he didn't want to go but that he lives in Chelmsford and they were offering him the world.
"We all make mistakes in life, I know I have, and he is big enough to come back and accept it. Now he has to get his head down and prove to the supporters that he wants to be at this club."
The Hampton game represents a run of matches that, according to Dack, will make or break Welling's season.
"It's must-win for us," he added. "Our next seven or eight games will shape our season.
"We've got to take some points off the top teams. They are big games that we all want to play in and must try to get something out."
