It’s time for cool heads as we seek to end a run of three league defeats. Last Saturday’s second half display was much more like the football we have grown used to in recent years. We need to do it again at Langford Road and find the net as well.
Our opponents also lost on Saturday going down 4-2 at Hadley but in what has been an up and down season for them won’t be fazed by a second defeat on the run. They may even be expecting that the visit of a side apparently struggling for form will provide a chance for them to bounce back. It will be the Blues job to upset that idea.
Despite the heavy defeat in our last away game we still have an excellent away record, having taken 22 points from a possible 30. The Waders’ home record shows 17 points from a possible 36. They may prefer to point out that we have only won once in five visits to Biggleswade though that one victory was also the most recent visit.
