Celtic head into the game knowing a victory can draw them level on points with the south coast side, who are currently three places above them in the Blue Square Premier safety zone, but a defeat would leave them poles apart.

It is the definitive six-pointer and the last time the Celts had one of those they failed miserably, crashing 4-0 at Northwich Victoria last Saturday and plummeting into the relegation zone alongside their conquerors.

Deacey knows his side came up way short, but he is hoping the fans give them a second chance tomorrow.

He said: "The support at Northwich was fantastic and we let the fans down badly. But I just want them to keep the faith and be there again against Weymouth because we need them. It is a massive game.

"At Christmas it looked like only us and Altrincham were battling it out down there, but at least we have managed to drag a few more in there now. There are five teams in it now, any two will go down, and it makes it a bit more interesting.

"I just think we need to keep Weymouth in this battle. If they beat us they will be six points ahead and it will be hard to pull that back. If we win we will be level with them on points. It is a six-pointer, it's one we need to win, and we need all the support we can get."

With Droylsden and Stafford 17 and 14 points respectively adrift of the safety zone, the bottom two in the division look consigned to the drop.

But with four teams set to plunge through the trapdoor, and only six points separating third-bottom Northwich and seventh-bottom Weymouth, there are anxious times ahead for the Vics, Farsley, Weymouth, Altrincham and Halifax Town.

Celtic were understandably rocked by the heavy defeat at Northwich, which fuelled the Cheshire side's renewed hopes of survival, but they bounced back to put in a valiant effort before going down 1-0 to high-flying Burton Albion on Monday.

It's not the first time Farsley have come away from a game with less than they have deserved and Deacey, while delighted with the display, knows they have to start converting good performances into points.

He said: "Against Northwich there were no excuses, we were poor and they deserved to win. But against Burton, who are third in the league, we played so well and I couldn't believe we got beat. We shouldn't even have drawn, we should have won, but that's life and we have got to get on with it now.

"We know all about Weymouth and they know all about us so it is going to be a real battle. They are coming into a bit of form, while we've lost the last two after having a good run.

"The performance against Burton was good but we have to start finishing again."

Farsley are buoyed by the return of winger Andy Watson from a three-match ban tomorrow.
