Dan Trenkel admits there is no over-estimating how important the game against Ware is to Great Wakering Rovers.
Rovers are still looking for their first win under Trenkel and he knows it's crucial to beat the sides on their coat-tails at the bottom of the table.
"There is no getting away from how big this game is" said Trenkel.
"I could have triedto play it down, but there is no point. We were down after the Waltham Abbey game and Ware havehad a couple of good results".
"But they might just be a bit more nervous than us because they know it's a game where they can get out of trouble".
Ware have spent much of the season in the bottom two but could leap above Rovers and out of the relegation places with a win. But they've enjoyed a decent start to 2012 with a win over Cheshunt and a draw at Lesiton last time out. Rovers suffered a bitterly disappointing defeat at home to Waltham Abbey.
Nick Skelton serves a one match ban following his red card against Maldon & Tiptree. Nathan Fletcher will deputise at centre back.
Tony Jacobs is unavailable because he has been temporarily recalled from his load by Dagenham & Redbridge.
Jay Nash, a new striker signed from Grays, will be included in the Rovers squad for Ware.
