The Moneys, who have not been at their best away from home this season, will need to show a big improvement at the second-placed Somerset club.

The visitors, however, are boosted by the return of two of their most experienced players - Lewis Fennemore and Steve Hutchings - following injury and suspension respectively.

Defender Curtis Da Costa could also feature after undergoing an operation on his shoulder during the summer.

Jones is optimistic his team can cause Frome some problems.

‘We will be looking to get something,’ he said.

‘To do that, we will have to be a lot better than in other away games this season.

‘We have not been at our best on our travels and it is something that we need to improve on.

‘Frome are a big club who came down into our league and are looking to bounce straight back up.

‘Not only are they a big, strong, physical side, they also possess a lot of quality.

‘Having the experienced figures of Fennemore and Hutchings back can prove the difference.

‘If we can get them to blend with the youngsters who have come in then we can give ourselves a chance.’

Third from bottom Moneyfields can take a lot of confidence from their 1-0 home win against Highworth last weekend.

Rhys Lloyd and Danny Burroughs - both 18 - were drafted in and both impressed in the victory.

Jones is looking for them to continue their development.

‘Rhys was probably our best player moving across the whole of the midfield,’ he added.

‘Danny was also very neat and tidy until he picked up an injury.

‘It will be like having a new player having Curtis back.

‘Although he hasn't played any games since the summer, he has kept himself fit.

‘We will be looking to give a better account of ourselves away from home.

‘That has to be our mindset.

‘We still need points and certainly won't want to get beat.’
