Almost a month into the new season and we find ourselves in mid-table after a more than reasonable start to the campaign. Recent results saw a very impressive first half demolition of Sutton and then a very harsh defeat at Dartford which turned on a soft penalty 9mins from time. Last Saturday we recorded a solid 2-0 win at Eastleigh who are full time professional this year training every day. Mark Goldberg has said he is looking to make a few additions and it seems that Danny Hockton has gone to Croydon Athletic top free up the budget for this. Despite Hockton’s undoubted goal scoring ability he just didn’t show the effort required for a team which is relying on hard work and commitment to stay up this season and after two fairly disappointing seasons with Maidstone the step back up to Conference South was too much for him.
Newly promoted Salisbury come to Hayes Lane on Saturday, the first time I’ve ever seen us play them and possibly their first trip to the London Borough of Bromley?
