Next up - Molesey away on Saturday, 12th January at Walton Road, West Molesey, Surrey KT8 2JG; Bostik Isthmian League Division One (South Central), kick off 3pm.
Admission: Adults - £10, Concession - £5, Under 16's accompanied by a paying adult are free.
When Molesey came to Wodson Park back on 1st September they had lost all their league games up to that point but went on to have the better of things for much of the game. Only a late goal from Harley Haag denied them what some might have considered a deserved win.
Molesey went on to lose their next four league games and are still struggling just above the two relegation positions yet there is that nagging feeling that they might just be a bogey side for us this season. So hopes of a fourth consecutive away win have to be tempered even without the knowledge that we will be missing Leigh Rose and Harry Norman. Both are suspended after last Saturday's red cards, Leigh for three games, Harry for four.
Out of interest here is a table comparing our away form with Molesey's home form over the last 4, 6, 8 and 10 matches. "Position" indicates where we would be in a table of all clubs in the division. Both sides would appear to be improving their form, suggesting it could be a tight game.
Ware away | 4 matches | 6 matches | 8 matches | 10 matches |
Position | 1 | 4 | 12 | 14 |
Molesey home | 4 matches | 6 matches | 8 matches | 10 matches |
Position | 10 | 17 | 19 | 19 |
