Brooks looks to shore up leaky defence
The 20-year-old made 14 appearances for the Magpies last term during a successful loan period and the combative midfield player was a rare shining light amidst a bleak campaign for Dorchester. And manager Shaun Brooks is pleased to see Fogden, who is likely to fill in at right back tomorrow, rejoin the county town outfit. He said: "It's fantastic news for us. Wes will be here on a one-month deal and as the month goes on we will reassess things. He's exactly the type of player we like at the club in that he's tenacious and an excellent player technically. "He'll come in at right-back as we've been a bit short in that area. Ronayne Benjamin Marsh-Brown has done well there in the last couple of games but he's left-footed." While one of the club's former players makes his return, another will be coming face to face with his previous employers. Striker Jones Awuah was the Magpies' top scorer last season with 13 goals in all competitions but will line up for Fisher at Champion Hill tomorrow. Brooks added: "I think Jones is a fantastic player and person, and I was disappointed not to keep him but he was in a position where he had to do the best for his family. "He was great for us last year and we'll have to watch him carefully." The Magpies' chief is hoping his current strike force of Jamie Mudge and Ryan Moss, who have three goals between them this season, can outshine Awuah. He added: "We've got goals in us and Ryan and Jamie are a threat. However, we are looking to get someone in, within our budget, to give them some competition." Dorchester go into tomorrow's game aiming to bounce back from Monday's 2-1 home defeat to Weston-super-Mare while looking to heap more misery on a Fisher side who are yet to win this season. Brooks said: "Fisher have had a tough start to the season but I've got nothing but admiration for their manager Wayne Burnett. "It should be a decent game of football and I don't think they'll be down near the bottom for long. "I've got every confidence in our own ability, and we need to work hard to try and get three points." Brooks has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game other than long-term absentees Mark Jermyn, Ivan Forbes and Roy O'Brien.
