Two wins, a draw and three defeats so far, sitting 15th, two points behind us.
Their three home games have been 1-1 with Taunton, 1-0 Dartford and 0-3 Chelmsford. Scored five, two less than us and conceded nine, one more.
Can we keep a clean sheet for the first time this season? George has said we are working hard on defending set pieces.
Sol Wanju-Smith may be back, which would help in the goal scoring department, but would be happier still if Corne was fit.

I still remember our last visit there in 2020 - I think we lost 5-1 and they missed 2 penalties. Hopefully it will be a bit closer this time !

Sol had a full game (and scored) with the 23s so could be in line for a return. |

I'm still not convinced by Sol. I'd love to see him start scoring week in week out, but I honestly don't think I've ever seen him have a great game and can only recall him scoring penalties.
Fingers crossed he kicks on and this game is the start of his goalscoring flurry this season.

Alas I cannot afford to go to Weymouth this time but as I said weeks ago our defence is just not good enough to keep a clean sheet even if we had an 8ft keeper. Think we will lose this one and maybe need to lose this one to give the players a jolt(kick)up the arse.The FA Cup is looming and the team needs to improve at least 50% to have a decent run or at least try unlike last season.

Another goal conceded from a corner. Maybe we need Earle in goal.

Three goals - didn't see that coming, especially after last Saturday. Shame we can't keep a clean sheet, but looks like a fine effort.

Some interesting results today. Aveley beating Torquay, Yeovil drawing and Dartford losing.
