NEXT UP - THE VIEWS OF CHRIS GALLEY - ASSISTANT MANAGER

Wisbech Town v Yellows

On Saturday we travel to Wisbech for another critical match and seeking to get another three points on the board. 

Struggling Wisbech who are currently without a point will be wanting take advantage of the home tie but Yellows will be feeling positive after 3 points on saturday after a hard fought match. Previous to that they were defeated by a fairly impressive Lincoln United. Both matches were overseen by Assistant Manager Chris Galley, who will also be in charge for the Wisbech match, along with coaches Alenna Moulton and Darren Jubb. Reece Limbert being on holiday.

Speaking of the Lincoln defeat, Galley was somewhat disappointed by the performance. "We came up against a very good technical and well organised Lincoln side on Saturday. The lads prepared well and we felt confident going into the game that we could match them for desire and work rate, but unfortunately we let ourselves down with some sloppy defending, not tracking runners and being too passive. The Lincoln side didn’t need asking twice and they were clinical. It was a positive start scoring early but I think it came too early for us, it woke Lincoln up". 

Just 48 hours later and Yellows were at home again, this time hosting Ashby Ivanhoe. A much improved performance saw Yellows run out 1-0 winners and Galley was impressed with how the squad bounced back. "The realist in me says we pick our battles and Ashby on Monday was certainly that. The lads went to war, the aim was clear in the dressing room, no mistakes, a clean sheet and all three points. All with calm heads, but that got tested. I was very proud of the group, everyone contributed to our first win of the season. We defended resiliently when we needed to but also managed the game well". 

Momentum is important in football and the squad will be wanting to repeat Saturdays performance but struggling Wisbech can not be taken for granted. Galley emphasised the part that supporters can play on Saturday. "We will be having a little Pilates session on Thursday to prepare for another big game away to Wisbech on Saturday. We hope the fans continue to back this group of lads and continue to sing loud and proud, trust me it helps".
