Sittingbourne joint-manager Jim Ward says Ryman League play-off talk is off the agenda

by Craig Tucker
Joint-boss Jim Ward has banned play-off talk among his
Sittingbourne squad.
Brickies sit fourth in Ryman League Division 1 South ahead of a
home game against Worthing on Saturday.
Confidence is high but Ward won’t let his squad get carried
away.
He said: "You can’t win anything in November or December. I want
the players to keep their heads down, try and stay under the radar
and let all the big clubs like Dulwich and Maidstone get on with
it.
"I won’t allow any talk of the play-offs. I keep telling them
we’re ahead of schedule and that we’re a mid-table team and it’s up
to them to prove me wrong.
"We’ve got good players so maybe we’re not punching above our
weight. Maybe we’ve just given them the belief they were lacking
before."
Key midfielder Nick Treadwell starts a three-match suspension
against fellow form side Worthing, with Jason Dolby expected to
take his place.
