Dereham Town look to build on five-match unbeaten run at Tilbury

Dereham Town will aim to continue their unbeaten month by adding to their points tally in Essex.
The Magpies endured a slow start to the Ryman North campaign but have picked up in September, winning three of their matches and drawing two.
So they head to Tilbury in confident mood – despite conceding a late goal to only draw 2-2 at home to Witham Town on Tuesday night.
Dereham boss Matt Henman said: 'I thought we played better on Tuesday than we did Saturday (1-0 win v Waltham Abbey).
'It's disappointing that we could not hold on for the win. I thought we were sloppy in possession on Saturday but worked a lot harder on Tuesday. I thought that Jake Anema was excellent and deserved his goal.

Dan Morphew returns to the squad while Henman will give fitness tests to Payton Swatman and Lewis Butcher.

Wayne Anderson's side picked up their second victory of the season when they won 4-1 at home against Team Bury a fortnight ago.
Debenham lost their first four games of the season but have won their previous four, scoring 11 in those matches, so are sure to pose a threat.
