Following Saturday’s victorious National League South home debut, Enfield Town go again tomorrow tonight with established Step 2 side Slough Town our visitors (kickoff 7.45).
Slough, one of non-league football’s iconic names who finished 10th in the table last season, are expected to bring upwards of 150 fans which should make for a cracking atmosphere in our first midweek league fixture of the season.
Having won their opening game against highly fancied Chelmsford City – extending their unbeaten home run to 24 games – the Rebels succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at Salisbury on Saturday yet controlled much of the game even when down to 10 men and are clearly dangerous opponents.
Town will have to be as good, if not better, than we were on Saturday to match our visitors who have been members of National League South for the past six years.
With four gruelling games in nine days, including next Saturday’s trip to Cornwall, Gavin Macpherson has made no secret of the need to employ as many fit members of his squad as possible.
“I’m hopeful we are boosted by our victory at the weekend. We’re not perfect at the moment and complacency can’t creep in,” said Gavin.
“Slough will be another massive test as we continue to fine tune things. Hard work and determination will give us a chance but we also need to be better in front of goal.”
