I would like to see ELJ given a chance in this game, as neither Spriggs or Herbert have shown themselves to be any better than him.

I have seen nothing of Kilbride but have heard good reports. Hope he is back from hols soon and ready to compete for a place.

With Ashton injured we will need Wilko back asap also.

A stat to put fear and trepidation into our hearts ahead of this game.

Chalfont v Uxbridge scored in 90+ 1
v Kings Langley scored 85th
v Aylesbury scored 85th and 90+2
v Hanwell winner in 88th

That's a bit ominous

Let's hope we're more than 1 goal up in the last 10 minutes then, if we're winning at that point that is. Though probably our toughest game of the season so far if their start is anything to go by, should be a good indicator of where we stand in this league, a win would take us close or into the top 5.

I don't think we need to fear anyone and following our win we should be bouncing onto that pitch with confidence. Is Wilkinson available?

1-0 up thanks to Tommy Berwick on the half hour mark, in case there's anyone else on here who couldn't make it today.

Thanks for the update, appreciate it SS

Won 3-1

3-1 FT, sounded relatively convincing on Twitter.

I thought it was 3-0 at the end, missed their goal when I went to the loo :oops:

Good entertaining match I thought, goals change games - could have been different if they had scored one of their early chances - they didn't
