WARMINSTER Town joint-boss Derek Graham is looking forward to some home comforts when his team get back to Weymouth Street next month.

Graham and Andy Crabtree’s men have only played five league matches at home all season and are on the road for their next three – starting with this weekend’s trip to Almondsbury UWE – before they begin a run of six straight matches in all competitions at Weymouth Street on Saturday, November 14.

Joint-manager Graham reckoned Warminster were back looking like their old selves as they drew 3-3 at Wellington last weekend and doesn’t see any reason why his team can’t embark on a surge up the Toolstation League First Division table.

“I don’t know how the fixtures get worked out but we’ve only played five games at home in the league all season and in a few weeks’ time, we’ve got six matches at home in a row,” said Graham.

“We’re unbeaten at home as it is, so why can’t we go on a run and get up into a good position from where we are in the table?

“We’d been on a bit of a bad run and we’d kind of reverted to a bit of a long ball game.

“I said during the game against Devizes (a 2-2 draw last week) that I wasn’t enjoying it and we’ve managed to get back to passing the ball around a bit.

“Alex Lapham was injured but he’s come back now and that’s helped a lot too because he’s a good player and a lot of the lads rely on him.”

Warminster took the lead at Wellington when Lapham chipped the ball to the far post for Henry McFerran to head home but the home side levelled soon afterwards.

Wellington went 2-1 up just before the break and after DJ Wheeler’s curling strike had restored parity, it was quickly cancelled out.

But Charlie Walton picked up the ball around 40 yards from goal and flashed a long-range effort into the top corner to make it 3-3 and earn the visitors a draw.

Both teams were reduced to ten men following a melee in the middle of the pitch, Wellington’s Jack Bryant and Wheeler receiving their matching orders, even though the Warminster man claimed a case of mistaken identity.

Graham and Crabtree’s men were denied a winner when Dan Price fired in, only to see it cancelled out by an offside flag.
