After a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Billericay in the league which saw us slip to fourth from bottom Mark Goldberg was quick to act to rectify our profligacy in front of goal. First the league’s second highest scorer Louie Theophanous came in from Staines and then another forward Joe Piggott joined on-loan from Charlton. MG has stated at least one player will be leaving to balance the books and it doesn’t take a genius to know it will be a striker!
We had one strike on goal against Billericay and unfortunately that fell to left back Marlon Patterson. Once again we failed to compete against a route one physical side who let us pass all day in front of the back line, but never through it. Tactical naivety also had played it’s part a long with the poor form of the strikers and that needs to be sorted out as well if we are to do enough to stay up. 4-3-3 is leaving us far too exposed and not playing to the strengths of the current squad which could comfortably accommodate 3-5-2 or 4-4-2.
Away from the league we progressed through to the Quarter Finals of the Kent Senior Cup on Tuesday beating a young Gillingham side 3-1 and now on Saturday we are back in FA Trophy First Round action as we entertain Boreham Wood at Hayes Lane
