Hard to know about Worthing at home this season as they've only had one game there in the league (0-0 v Hornchurch), plus two wins in the Cup: 3-2 H&W and 3-1 Dartford. Presumably ground works prevented any home games before September.
On The Fishy's form tables they sit 16th for their last six home games, though that includes last season and we know about one of those...
Hadn't realised until looking it up but Stones are currently unbeaten away from home (just as well) and sit third in the form table. Three wins and two draws, including Herne last weekend.
So maybe we should be more optimistic, especially with Corne back? If we can start with eleven (no Ludo please George) and keep eleven throughout the game (don't bring him on as sub either), we might have a chance. Not holding my breath though.

Herne Bay, not Herne

I wouldn't read too much into home and away form with such a small sample size.

It'll be tough. They have a good side. We have a good side.

George says every game is tough.
Piece in the KM yesterday where he welcomes having Corne and Higgs on the pitch again, so he can 'do less shouting' during the game.
Never really understood why professional players should need telling what to do, but concentration levels certainly ebb and flow at times.

Onfield communication is a massive part of the game at any level.

The analytical program tells the analyst,the analyst tells George, George tell the players and the players do as the damned f**king laptop demands which is why we are 17th instead of 7th with quality(ish) players. Dump the laptop,dump the analyst,dump Ludicrous and let's get back to playing football. I don't care if you're sneaking a sly read of this Scooby Sports science is not the best way forward, Brian Clough would turn in his grave at the thought of a f**king microchip telling him what to do. Rant over,I will now shut up and go away again.

Who the f**k is Brian Clough ?

I imagine he's one of those old time dinosours from yesteryear.

Times have moved on since the invention of the steam engine and all that blah.

C'mon swordy catch up, we are 24 years into the 21st century.

Science matters !

No different in the Ishmian League swordy, you will find it awash with sports scientists.

You can go down to SCEFL and still find plenty.

It's the way of the Football World.

I assume you jest,if on the other hand you do not then Cloughy wasn't the greatest manager of all time but he was in the top 1. The season after our demise I drove to Nottingham Forest for want of anything better to do. I unbeknowingly parked in the great mans space ,when I was asked to move it I explained to Cloughy that I didn't realise and was only here because my team had gone bust. The great man told me to stay where I was and he relocated his car to a different position, that is pure class,pure majesty from a pure genius. Today's overpaid Prem managers are nothing compared to Cloughy.

Yes,it's a shame. I noticed last night how regimented and downright boring/inept Bayern Munich were against Villa. I counted 8 chances for Munich where they should have unleashed a shot but the analytical robots have instilled it upon them to pass instead of shooting,8 chances gone-a- begging. Net result very lucky Villa win.

Miserable Sword, very miserable.
But accurate.

Worthing's new terrace looks nice, something like this along the riverside would be great.

Jordan Higgs is not even on the bench, so I take it he's injured again.
