GRAVESEND & Northfleet, without a win in their last six matches, travel to Morecombe this Saturday to play a side with a superior goal-scoring record.
Fleet manager Andy Ford said: "You never know what can happen but one thing is for certain, this won't be an easy game for us.
I watched them a few weeks ago so I have got an idea about their strengths and weaknesses."
Ford added: "We haven't picked up too many points recently but I always knew this was going to a difficult month for us. When you play the likes of Scarborough and Halifax away from home it's always going to be difficult to get positive results."
With the club's injury list no closer to being shortened, one player who won't be in the side against Morecombe is Lew Watts. He has decided to re-join his former club Welling United.
The defender teams up with another ex-Fleet player Paul Booth, who signed for the Dr Martens Premier Division side earlier this month.
Gravesend (from): Wilkerson, Lee, Burton, Barnett, Nutter, Strouts, Jackson, Barr, Carter, Wilkins, Bentley, Abbott, Turner, Skinner, Grace, Coyle.
