Match Preview

Next up - Dereham Town away on Saturday, 9th September at Aldiss Park, Norwich Road, Dereham, Norfolk, NR20 3PX; Bostik Isthmian League Division One (North), kick off 3pm.

Admission - £8 adults, £4 concessions, Under-14s £2

A tough fixture in Norfolk as Ware seek to dent Dereham's 100% record. They've played six and won six to go third in the table and reach the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup in which they are at home to Boston Town.

Equally impressive is Dereham's defensive record which shows just one goal conceded in those six matches. Curiously that was at league strugglers Norwich United on bank holiday Monday.

Our own failure to score in the two defeats so far this season suggests we may be up against it if too much reliance is put on high balls in to Yannick Kamanan but with Elliott Charles brought into the squad last Saturday Yannick now has someone to support him. Even so, keeping it on the ground wouldn't hurt. In the circumstances I probably shouldn't draw attention to the fact that we have failed to score in any of our last three meetings with Dereham.

Ahmed Abdulla will be absent as he is still suspended following his red card at Mildenhall but at the time of writing I am unaware of any injury problems for the remainder of the squad so Kem's problem would appear to be who to leave out rather than who to bring in.

Our record against Dereham Town:-
