City's win at Maidenhead last Saturday confirmed that we are in another little run of success. That's 3 games without defeat, but we need another 7 wins from 9 games to be close to 5th spot at the end of April.
There are opportunities to do it with struggling Dorchester Town the visitors to May day Trust Park this coming Saturday and then City entertain Chelmsford the following week for the 'community day'. By their standards Chelmsford have had a poor season.
If City can get maximum points from those games, adding in the away fixture at Havant on 24th March, we really will be back in with a chance of a play off place but it will be tough. Sutton away and Eastbourne at home will be the more difficult games on paper, but Hayes, Gosport, Concord and Farnborough could be the 4 wins final run in.
Realistically 7 wins from 9 when we have only won 4 in 15 is clutching at straws but I am just trying to keep the season alive!
Dover's emphatic win at wobbling Bromley last night was a bit of a blow to our hopes but they still have a lot of games to play. We have dropped to 7th on goal difference.
It was nice that City profited from a bit of luck in the last 5 minutes for a change at Maidenhead. The keeper's miss allowed Josh Low to tap home. I am one of those who values Josh Low. He has scored key goals and brings a lovely touch. Some fans condemn his work rate but 'making the ball do the work' was always a good quality in my book.
Phil Walsh had a good game at centre back according to those who were there and was singled out for praise by Lee Howells after the match. Whether he is a centre back than Preecey is too early to say.
It is great to See Andy Watkins scoring more regularly. He has been unlucky this season. He has to be one of the first names on the retained list at the end of the season along with Jason Mellor, Sekani Simpson, Danny Ball, Andy Bowman and Noah Keats. After that for me, its open to debate.
So the players now have a welcome football free week.....I can't see any first teamer other than Jim Rollo playing at Cheddar....and this has to be good news when you see many of our play off rivals playing Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday and then Saturday again.
Feet up lads! (or Cheltenham races!)
