We Come into this one off of a couple of heavy defeats. That said, last weeks was an eye opener for us. We played some very good football, and went toe to toe with a team who will be pushing for the title this season. What we need to do is play some of that same stuff today and we may turn our fortunes around.
We played Chard last season, and took 3 of 6 points off of them. A disappointing 2-1 loss at home at the start of the season when our young side were finding their feet at this level, fast forward 4 months and we went down to Chard and put in a typical away performance, at times playing some nice football, getting ourselves ahead, and then backs to the wall (especially when Chard were shooting down the infamous hill!) and won 2-0. We'll need to do similar today as we look to climb up the table.
Mals pretty much has a full squad to choose from, with Jake Norrie coming back into the squad following his absence last week and Oscar is back from Injury. Will SJ the only notable absentee as he has chosen the Alps over Chard. Both Callum & Jordan are unavailable in the dugout due to a wedding, but Nick Gwyther & Charlie Stacey are keeping the bench warm for them to provide Mals with some much needed cover!
Our reserves & A's are also in action. The reserves host unbeaten Congresbury in a tough game at Somerdale pavilion. Our A's also Host Shaftesbury Crusade Reserves, as they look for 3 points to keep pulling them up to the top of the table.
All Games 14:00 kick offs, support welcomed and appreciated.
