Maidstone United look to get back to winning ways at Tooting
Comments |
Maidstone will look forward to getting back on the road when
they visit Ryman League Premier Division Tooting on Saturday.
Stones’ stop-start season continued with their fourth defeat in
five league games at home to Canvey at Homelands last Saturday.
Joint-boss Alan Walker, pictured, was left "extremely
disappointed" with the performance and result against the
play-off-chasing Essex side.
He said: "We asked for consistency and we’ve got it – we’ve been
consistently losing. We still just want to get a consistent run
going.
"Hopefully, we can get back on track against Tooting because the
league is still tight and, even though we have been on a poor run,
we are not far off where we would like to be."
Despite slumping to 14th place, Stones are still only four
points behind fifth-placed Tooting and just one point off the top
eight, though they have played more games than the teams around
them.
Maidstone’s away form – which has seen them win four and draw
two of their nine games, conceding only seven goals in the process
– gave Walker cause for optimism, as did the Terrors’ home record
of four defeats and only three wins in eight games.
Walker said: "We had a bad day on Saturday but hopefully we can
show the right response at Tooting."
Stones are likely to be without midfielder Tom Parkinson
(hamstring), who joins James Peacock and Ashley Ulph on the
sidelines.
Walker said: "With Tom out and Peacock not available, we will
have to think about moving things around in midfield."
