Welcome back to The EnviroVent Stadium. Our last home fixture against Newport was not the result or the performance we were looking for, especially at home where we want to make it as tough as we can for the opposition.
It has been a tough five months for me, especially as someone who hasn’t been used to injuries of that length of time, so on a personal note it was really pleasing to be back out there. I suffered a minor setback against Hartlepool that caused me to come off, which wasn’t ideal, but these things happen in football and I will make sure I’m working twice as hard to get back fit as soon as possible.
When you’re on a run of defeats like we are, the biggest thing is hard work and togetherness. When everyone is pulling in the same direction then the results will start turning, the aim is to try and get on a run that then brings back the confidence and momentum to the squad.
Deadline day was a busy one for us, it’s exciting times for the lads coming in and was really good to see them all go straight in to the squad. They have all added something to the group and are all buzzing to get into the side and help us get some victories.
Our last meeting with Carlisle sticks in the mind as a really good day for everyone involved at the club, it showed the togetherness that not just the players have, but the whole club. That is the unique factor about us, we might not be the size of the majority of clubs in this league, but we saw how passionate the fans were on that special Supporters Day.
It gives players a huge boost when you have that backing from the fans that pay to come and watch week in week out, creating an atmosphere for the lads to go out there and express themselves the way we know we can.
We’ll need you with us all the way today against a side we have always had difficult games against and one that have been established in the Football League for many years.
It’s going to be a really tough challenge ahead and for us to get the result and points we are desperately wanting we are going to have to really work hard, with you backing us from the first minute. Falks
