Hi!<\/p>\n

Been a while since I’ve blogged, mainly due to a family holiday for me and the lack of a midweek game.<\/p>\n

Saturday brought an away match for us against Aylesbury United. Aylesbury much improved from last season have had a good start and presented a tough challenge for us.<\/p>\n

We shuffled things up a bit with Jack Bradshaw missing due to a holiday. We put Danny May into a midfield role and brought Chris Watters in as left back, with Martel Powell reverting to a 10 role he is very familiar with.<\/p>\n

Early signs were good with us dominating play, leaving Aylesbury with breakaway efforts that although infrequent, were dangerous all the same.<\/p>\n

We kept creating “half chances” which although good were lacking in that “fine detail” and often too long was taken to get shots away!<\/p>\n

I really feel for the lads at the moment. All the front lads look anxious in front of goal!<\/p>\n

It’s only them doing it to themselves. We are supportive of them and encouraging. Just a bit more belief and willingness to shoot quicker and with accuracy will do the trick I’m sure.<\/p>\n

Onto the local derby tomorrow against Histon. They aren’t having the best of periods at the moment but derbies often have a habit of bringing the best out of the underdog. We must ensure this doesn’t happen!!<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nSC<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
