NICKY Henry knows his Scarborough side are in desperate need of a win against Dagenham tomorrow.

With only the derby wins over York City to their credit in the last 12 games, Henry knows his side cannot afford another slip up at home.

"I am fed up of drawing home games - nine so far - but I am even more fed up of losing away games, so we need to get a win to keep us in touch with the play off pack," said Henry.

Chris Senior is being nursed through training with a hernia problem, while Henry's patience with winger Keith Gilroy may have been exhausted because of the lack of service to hitman David Reeves.

"Keith needs to be more consistent in providing crosses into the box and so far David Reeves hasn't had much service from either flank," added Henry.

Boro squad: Keen, Lyth, Baker, Kerr, Thompson Pounder, Walker, Hackworth, Hotte, Gilroy, Nicholson, Foot, Senior, Cryan, Reeves, Redfearn
