This comes after last weekend's point away at Shirebrook. "A point gained at the weekend against Shirebrook means we’re off the mark and it’s a small step forwards", stated the Manager following that game. "Other than the penalty and a couple of goal-mouth scrambles, I felt we never looked troubled and we defended brilliantly. We controlled the game and showed great character to come from behind to draw level. On another day, with the chances we’ve made we probably walk away 4 or 5 goals to the good but credit goes to the Shirebrook goalkeeper who had an outstanding game and kept them in the game. We rolled the dice in the final few minutes and despite a couple of blocks and goal line clearances we just couldn’t find a deserved winner".

"We have to look at the positives when we aren’t quite getting the results we want. Saturday’s performance was the first time this season where we all dug in for each other and grafted to get a result. Sam Sims was tremendous both in midfield and at the back when Aaron Short had to come off due to a small knock. Sam went under the radar and did the hidden side of the game and I felt he was our MOTM! Aaron had a scan on Saturday following his injury and has been given the green light which is good news for us though he misses this weekend's fixtures due to holiday. Cashmere Rowe also performed well and along with our other fullbacks gives me a good headache going into 3 games over the next 8 days. Unfortunately I won’t be there for those games as I’m away on holiday, but Gallers, Alena and Daz will lead the team and I’d confident we’ll get our first win of the season during this period".

Kick off on Saturday is 3pm with the Aerial Suite and Club Shop open from 1.30pm.

We are also at Home on Monday the 26th hosting Ashby Ivanhoe at 3pm.
