Eight games to go and the toughest of run-ins. Which makes tomorrow’s fixture at Corinthian Casuals, the fourth of five consecutive away league games, so important.
Disappointing though our Middlesex Senior Cup exit might have been, we are still in those vital playoff positions but we need a win to boost morale.
What better chance to collect three valuable points than our visit to a Casuals team languishing near the foot of the table?
Make no mistake, they are just as keen as us to grab a maximum points haul and as we know very well, sides near the bottom are fighting for their lives.
Last Saturday, Casuals lost 1-4 at home to Carshalton and haven’t actually won in the league since Jan 2 — over two months ago.
But home draws against Hornchurch and Canvey Island prove they can be a formidable challenge on their day.
So, of course, can we and we can only hope the injuries we sustained on Tuesday are not too serious as we approach the business end of the season.
Due to limited demand, we will NOT be running a supporters’ coach to this game
