Following Saturday’s excellent point at Dorking, the games come thick and fast and it’s Hornchurch at home tonight as we try and maintain our slowly improving form (ko 7.45).

No two games are the same and having knocked Hornchurch out on penalties in the FA Trophy, it’s all about league points this time and the chance to move two places up the table with a win.

Dorking’s 7-1 thrashing of Hemel Hempstead on Monday showed just how creditable our draw at the weekend was but don’t necessarily expect an unchanged team because of the demands on the players.

 “What nobody sees after games as that we get stats on every player and we see how  hard and far they are running,” said Gavin Macpherson.

“Since I joined as manager, Saturday was the most running everyone has ever done. You have to look at the impact of that as well as playing on a 3G pitch. It’s something I have to consider in terms of whether I will get the same work rate.

“Quite naturally people may assume same team. But it’s not as easy as that. It’s a massively hard week, starting with Dorking and finishing with Torquay. The trophy win over Hornchurch will have no bearing on tonight. They’ll probably be expecting three points so we have to be up for it.”

Meanwhile, with the Torquay game fast approaching, you are advised to buy your tickets online in advance so as not to miss out.

It is also advisable where possible to travel by public transport as we are expecting a huge crowd well in excess of four figures. The car park is likely to fill up very quickly so if you have to drive, please leave as much time as possible.
