With two successive home matches that gives us a good chance to get back into play off zone, especially as only two teams above us have games this Saturday due to others being involved with FA Trophy.
Lowestoft have won their last two games including beating Coalville last week so it will be no easy game despite their lowly position.

Looking forward to this game, they've improved recently and have 5 wins to our 6. This will be tough and with the forecast for rain, it may be a bit scrappy. Hopefully, Nabil can grab a couple of goals and inspire a home victory.
See you tomorrow.

Post Match Interviews

[Pigman]

I thought it was a very professional and well managed second half - we bossed it frankly and three very good goals - well done guys!

Tough conditions but we rode them well - up to 6th in the table, sure we’ve played more games, but points in the bag are always a good thing.

Really enjoyed the second half! Just got to back it up next week and move into the playoffs if we can !!

[Trek]

Enjoyed that! We were totally dominant in the second half and Shariff and Macleod are forming a really decent partnership upfront with some great movement and incisive play. A great strike from Slinn for our third goal which gave their keeper no chance. Our defence also looked very sound and we seem to be coping without Collard. Let’s hope the lads can give a good account of themselves in a week’s time against Stourbridge who will no doubt be a much stiffer test.

[FOOTYMAN]

A nice way to start the weekend. A really good match, the second half was impressive, the front pair looked comfortable and understood each others movement, Slinn was great throughout and the goal capped a very strong performance. Some of the teams around us may have games in hand, but, we are looking like a top 6 side. Happy Days

First half was an awful half of football all round I thought, and was worried the conditions would ruin the game. Great performance second half though we completely dominated and deserved the 3 goal win, good to see both strikers scoring as well! Less said about the ref the better.....
Also, thought it was a great idea to have scarfs/hats/beer gifts set being sold with programmes at turnstiles, sure more were sold than would have been!
