Match Preview

Match Night!

Horsham @ Home / East Grinstead

A week long break from action now, and to go back on our performances over the last 5, I’d say we’ve done fairly well, Eastbourne Town our best of the lot of say. We could’ve even got maximum points from Common, Epsom & Ewell have been no push overs this year and we dispatched of them well. Shoreham would’ve been a lot more comfortable had we not gone down to 10, could’ve and probably would’ve gone on to score 1 or 2 more at 2-0. So, decent results, and as Dixie has mentioned, winning is infectious and a very good habit to have! The workout cannot stop, and the overall quality of concentration and performance needs to go up again!

Horsham I’d say we pose our biggest test of the season so far. They’re up in 4th place winning 4 of their 5 league games. I also believe any team can compete with any other team in this league, you just have to look at the results to prove that, draws are common, and all teams concede goals to each other.

We need a mentality and an attitude tonight that shows that we’re not just here to make up the numbers. Not here to just give our opposition a ‘nice’ game of football. I want teams to dread playing us, not because of how good we are, but because of how aggressive we are off the ball in terms of work rate and persistence! Our willingness for each other!

Tonight, we need to become as compact as we were against Eastbourne Town, when our last clean sheet was. But still enjoy our football tonight. The only pressure on us is whatever we put on ourselves, which is our pride more than anything; so let’s show how much pride in our football we’ve really got.

See you all tonight
