Well then where do I start, first off I am sorry that I have not done a piece for a few weeks, I have let Brian do the talking and must agree with everything he has said, so I did not want to add anything else to the situation which may have relayed back to the players.

So on to the last month or so, which has seen us get a good win at Ware on a terrible pitch to an inept performance against Thamesmead and even worse performance at Ilford, so the outcome was that I needed to act on it and believe me, I was saying the same things at half time and at full time and felt I probably needed to get a tape recorder of my voice and put it into the dressing room and thus saving my husky voice from anymore torture.

So we moved onto Wingate and Finchley who I have to say, what a nice club and their people they looked after us from start to finish and that is something I hope we can achieve in the long run at this club. I had a team in mind for the game because of the second half performance at Leyton, but I arrived at Wingate with the pitch in great condition so my mindset changed and I put a bit more of an attacking minded side out. So coming in at half time one nil up through Chris Days great header it  was nice to come in being positive but then I had to make two changes with Greg Oates and Ross Parmenter going off through groin strains, so I had to reshuffle the pack and credit the boys they worked there socks off for me and the team, and it payed dividends with a great strike from Shaun Crockford, so with eight minutes left Wingate got one back but with a few nervous moments we held on for a great win towards our survival target.

Onto the players I have brought in David Bastian in from Enfield, a very experience player at this level, and on tuesday he set the tone with his organising and tough tackling and it rubbed off on the rest. I'm hoping to bring in three more players for the weekend I'm not taking the result at Wingate for granted it was a great result but we need to bring some quality into the squad because we need to get out of this position we are in I'm hoping to get a couple of players from my old club Millwall on work experience, I know of them because my old teamate Neill Harris has rcommended them to me so they will come on good recommendation.

Onto Saturdays game against Ilford, a must win game and we must back up tuesday nights game with back to back wins, hope to see you Saturday.

Nethers.

So after our disappointing home result against Tilbury, I felt changes had to begin and travelling to unbeaten Northwood I knew we was in for a tough game, so firstly I decided to change the midfield two of Parms and Chris Day and put Nav and Dan Johnson in there and it worked a treat, I thought they were the heartbeat of the side and pushed the boys on, I thought we were back to how we were against Aveley and just needed a cutting edge up front. but with two minutes to go, a long ball got flicked on and the scorer looked well offside he even put in a foul on Aiden Collins before he scored.

So we had to push on and we conceded another goal in injury time, so when I got the boys back in the dressing room I told them that I felt we were robbed of a point and if we play like that from now until the end of the season we will win more loose games like that.
