I have just noticed that in the three weeks from Tuesday 28 January to Tuesday 18 February we have seven games, two in cup competitions but more importantly, in my view, five league games and all of those league games are against sides currently in the top seven with Hornchurch, Carshalton and Cray at home, Worthing and East Thurrock away.
These five teams and Horsham are the ones we are in direct competition with for the top spot and play off places so we need some decent results (at least 10 points out of a possible 15 perhaps) and it seems that by 10.00 pm on the evening of Tuesday 18 February we will have a much better idea of where we are likely to be at the end of the season.
One consolation in playing all of our closest challengers now is I suppose that we will then have to play teams lower down the league which should in theory be rather easier, although based on recent form that may not turn out to be the case.
Good turnout needed on Tuesday and for the other home games lets give the guys all the support we can and keep pressing for that top spot.
Gerry must have a view on how many points we need from these games...........

My old buddy, now sadly gone, Dennis Hunt used to love trying out the young ones. I remember David Crook at sixteen turning out for the old Town team.
