Glebe made it 4 wins from 4 games this week on Tuesday as they came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at St Paul's Sports Ground against Fisher FC. The result meant Glebe returned to 1st place in the league ahead of Erith & Belvedere FC on goal difference. Jamie Philpot added another 2 goals to his impressive start to the season making it 9 goals in 5 games with Ryan King-Elliot smashing the ball home for the equaliser in between Jamie's two goals.

Assistant Manager Mark Dacey post-match reaction:

“It’s easy to say we made hard work of it but I don’t think we did. At times we just forced things that we didn’t need to do. We’ve said plenty of times this season that patience is going to work for us. We don’t need to score every attack, once we got the first one I feel like it was only ever going to be us. When a team is 2-0 up with 10 men and they don’t at any point try to attack, there’s only so long you can ride wave after wave after wave.

When you move the ball the way that we do, eventually someone is going to switch off and we have clever players who will find those gaps. If the game had finished 6-3 or 6-4, it probably would’ve made sense. We could have easily crumbled at 2-0 down but we didn’t. The players thoroughly deserved that one!

Jamie Philpot has been brilliant so far, he’s in the right place at the right time. The boys are putting it in the areas they need too for him to score. Chances & goals are coming from everywhere, if we can keep that up, defend slightly better, we’re going to be difficult to beat”

And now onto Saturday's game against Kennington!
