Hastings manager George Wakeling will throw caution to the wind as Hastings United attempt to avoid relegation from the Dr Martens premier division.

United go into tomorrow's home match against Chippenham four points from safety, having picked up just two league wins from the last 22 games.

Despite this poor run, Wakeling has retained the defensive formation which won the eastern division title last season.

But now United need four wins from their last six matches and Wakeling is ready to attack.

He said: "We have just got to go for it from now until the end of the season. We are desperate and we have to do anything we can to get points. I am looking at four wins from the last six games and then we just have to cross our fingers and hope other teams slip up.

"Losing 1-0 is just the same to us as losing by four or five, we would have still lost the game and not got any points.

"It is possible relegation could go down to goal difference but I don't think so. It is more likely to be points, so that is what I am after and we will be going all out to get some."

Wakeling used the new attacking approach in last week's a 3-1 win against Moor Green. United finished the match with four attackers as they recovered from a goal down.

Paul Ruddy is the only doubt for United after picking up a back injury last week.

Strikers Warren Bagnall and Nic McDonnell will test their fitness ahead of next week's League Cup final when Crawley travel to Newport County in the premier division tomorrow.

Bagnall (back) has missed the last three matches while McDonnell only returned after seven games out with a knee problem when he came on as substitute in Monday's goalless draw at Hednesford.

Midfielder Peter Fear (groin) is definitely out while defender Marc Pullan is a doubt because of flu.
