Brickies moved nine points clear of the bottom three with goals from Hicham Akhazzan, on his 400th appearance, Dan Hughes and Steven Ita in a 3-2 win over Whyteleafe on Tuesday night.

They now want to push on against Walton & Hersham.

Davis said: “They’re two very important games and we need at least four points from them.

“They’ve just signed Richard Pacquette, who played in the Football League, and Orlando Smith, who’s a good player, so it looks like they’re throwing some money at trying to stay up.

“It’s unusual playing a side twice in four days but it’s been an unusual season.

“You’d expect them to be similar games but who knows? There’s been shock results all season."
