I suspect Potton might be looking to 'park the bus'. :evil:

I don't think you can blame the teams in this league for their tactics, no disrespect to them, but the majority of this league is going to struggle to compete with teams like us and if I was their manager I'd do exactly the same to be fair. A scrappy 1-0 will do me very nicely in this one, then thrash Whitworths and go into the final game needing just a point.

I'm not blaming them but stating what I think their tactics will be. They frustrated both Sileby and Eynesbury who struggled to break them down. I just hope we play football and not employ the tactics which we saw for three quarters of the match last night. We need to get the ball wide to Wizz and Gearing and produce the sort of passing football that resulted in our two goals last night.

An early goal will settle us down nicely. ;)

Potton are currently 4th in the form guide, mainly due to one goal wins so will be very hard to beat as we and others have experienced already this season.

Three more wins guys that's all we ask!!!!!

I think you can. ;) This league doesn't have relegation (or if it does, only one spot), so go out and try and win the bloody game. In the Conference etc. I can understand parking the bus because there's 4 relegation spots, but not in this league.

Looking forward to this trip actually, the longest of the season so far for me, 44 miles...Anyways think the lads will need to be on top form for this one...They will need to be on the attack from the off and be prepared for them to sit deep and cause frustration. Hoping for a smooth passing game, and to bring the 3 points home. I would be more than happy with a 1-0 win, as long as i aint biting my nails for the last 10 minutes :lol:

I believe Potton have been advised to expect a big crowd judging by the special arrangements for Saturday.
