Following a highly unfortunate defeat at Torquay last Saturday, Enfield Town hope to put their first points on the board on Saturday against Maidenhead United

Despite an opening setback at Chesham, the Magpies are another of the promotion contenders in their quest to get straight back to Step 1 following demotion to National League South.

“Once we got adjusted at Torquay after being thrown some curved balls before kickoff we were very good. It was a decent yardstick for us so it’s quite an easy one to move on from,”  said Gavin Macpherson. “But we’ve still got players missing so we’ll have to address that.”

“Every game is a tough game in this division, all the more so if you’re short on personnel. Maidenhead will expect to be in the mix come the end of the season. I doubt they are too worried about that first result and we’ll have to make it as difficult for them as we can.”

“It’s a great day to welcome another ex-National League side and have a go at it. If we can put a few more points on the board at home than we did last season, we should have a reasonable campaign.”

“With a couple of recent additions, we’re somewhere around where we want to be squad-wise now though defensively we may need to add because of short-term difficulties. Otherwise we’re fairly settled and it’s important now to look at some form of continuity moving forward.”
