I had us earmarked for seven points from the four Xmas fixtures - three against Hungerford and this mob and just one against Welling at home. As things stand after Boxing Day, I’m probably more confident of the point at home on NYD than I am three away tomorrow as we generally look a bit less toothless at PP. It has been commented that we are lacking some muscle and gritty leadership, which I think is absolutely spot on throughout. It’s all very well getting on nicely and agreeing about everything, but for me football is a sport which needs a bit of spunk and devilment in order for a team to thrive competitively. A few weeks ago we saw Lee Noble give Jamie Philpot a shove for skying an opportunity he felt he would’ve scored - this sparked a bit of debate on the terraces, but for me it was an indication of passion and sends a message of intent.
As for team selection, I’d start Coker over Hayes, drop Wynter and put one of Oyenuga or Sheringham up with Jampot (would plump for Charlie, but can we expect him to be available for two games in a row?
)
