We travel to Crawley on Boxing Day, and although they
are top of the league, we are chasing them hard.
They were favourites before a ball was kicked and it’s 1-0 to
them at the end of the first half of the season, but you don’t win
a season by playing half, there is a second half to go and
that’s where it all counts.
Let’s hope we go there and take our good form into the game.
They are unbeaten in 15 and we haven’t lost in eight. It’s going to
be a good game and it’s only a 45-minute journey for our fans.
We’ll give it a right good go.
The most important thing is not to lose. It’s going to be a
difficult trip but we look at our squad and look at theirs and
maybe our squad is stronger on paper.
There will be two good attacking teams and it’s going to be the
game of the day in League 2.
The boys are certainly in confident mood after a fantastic game
on Saturday, when we beat Bristol Rovers 4-1.
Lewis Montrose scored the opener and for the past few home games
he’s been saying "get your money on me to score first".
We can’t bet on ourselves but when he scored he looked over and
said "I told you, you should have had money on me!" He didn’t win
me any money but I was delighted anyway.
It was fantastic to see the ground full on Saturday, and when
myself and the manager looked around before kick-off the ground was
buzzing.
It was really good to see, especially in the current climate.
The players want to play in full grounds and it made for a great
occasion.
We are so pleased the boys put in a performance in their final
home game of the year.
