Two consecutive wins over Essex opposition has lifted the relegation fear for now and shown a real spirit in the squad again. The 3-2 win at Billericay came via an injury time penalty from Danny Waldren, but we’d played well against a very strong direct team for the whole game against a side that had beaten us well at our place not so long ago. Then came a very satisfying 2-0 home victory over perennial chokers Chelmsford who were surprisingly poor at the back given the budget and league position.
Since MG criticised the fans in the paper after the draw with Boreham Wood we’ve gone another three games unbeaten, Mike Jones inclusion has really helped as has having a stable line up, formation and tactics for the first time this season. If we can keep this squad together and stay injury free hopefully we can aim for that highest ever league finish and possibly have a shot at the London Senior Cup. First things first though we have in-form Dorchester at HL on Saturday and then a local derby at Sutton on Tuesday if we can come out of those unbeaten then we’ll be doing ok.
MG has said in an interview that there was lots more to come from this team he’d built from scratch and that fans expectations were high because they could see the quality he’d brought in. Let’s hope he is right…
