After a two week break from league action we enter an important mini phase of the season with three games in a week with an opportunity to both maintain and improve our league position of fourth, playing Dartford and Welling, both of whom sandwich us in the league and at the top of the form guide table.
However, first we are away to Dulwich Hamlet who entered this league in the opposite direction from us and host their final game in Exile at Tooting and Mitcham FC before returning to their home patch. They have had a busier week than us hosting Welling in their FA trophy replay game on Wednesday night coming through that with a 2-1 win so can beat the better teams in our league although have a return of only 5 points from the last six. Whether as a full-time team we can capitalise on them having less than three days recovery time remains to be seen.
Some good news received today in that Asa Hall, Ryan Dickson and Alex Bass are all back in training with us to add to Essuman’s and Sendles-White recent return to fitness and while they all may not be ready to jump straight into the first 11 this Saturday there will be
pressure on places and give Johnson the opportunity to rotate if required or provide cover for injury. I would like to see Hall back as soon as he is fully fit as I think he does give us something different in the midfield area as well as an attacking option for all those corners we are now getting. I would also like to see Bass back in goal ahead of McDonald despite him providing excellent cover so far this season.
So far, Johnson has an exceptional 10 points from his four league away games and hopefully he can continue adding to this tally. COYY.
