🤕 MJ Injury Update
🔹 We can confirm Michael Johnson has suffered a dislocation and small fracture to his finger during Saturday's fixture with Chippenham.
❌ Jonno is therefore unavailable for selection for tonight's clash

Maybe Jeffers can get a game by playing in goal?

Nooooo, I'm going in goal !!
Well, l just guessed that I'm fat enough to prevent the ball getting past me, haha !
No, seriously thou, we all can only hope, that MJ's replacement, whoever it is, does the job tonight when called upon.
Of course some resolute defending in front of him would help

The thing is, l don't know what was said in our dressing room at Half Time, but we should have been ready for Slough in that 2nd half.
At 2 nil down with another half of football still to go, a game is never done and if you are just 2 nil down like Slough were, you know a goal back can change the complexion of a game completely, and what did we do? we just invited them on us.
Sure enough that first goal came, you could just see it coming, as indeed you could with their equaliser, cos the pattern of play didn't change.
We played well in the 1st half and were worthy of our lead, but had chances to have gone in winning more comfortably.
But a game of football is of 2 halves and for the first part of that 2nd half we seemed to have forgotten that.
It was good to see Akanbi get his goals, it can only help his confidence and development

2 goals from Akanbi firing us into the play-off positions! What were we all worrying about?
On a more serious note - I couldn't get to last night's match, did Smith's injury look bad? What about Wyatt's substitution, was that tactical or another bloody injury? Is Da Silva injured? He hasn't even been on the bench for the last two games. This is getting ludicrous, we've had more long term injuries so far this season than in the last few seasons put together.
Incidentally, the crowd was 1,138.

So we are now in the top 6 with what I consider to be a very average team in a very average league despite teams with league/national league history and budgets. Bar Eastbourne Borough all of our defeats have been against sides currently in the top 7. My overwhelming observation from this is that with 2 or 3 quality players brought in we could really challenge. We have one, but he sits on the bench every bloody game. As a supporter of over 50 years it isn't good enough re the silence of why Shaun isn't starting every game. If he is on a goals bonus bloody good luck to him for negotiating it! Who agreed it at the club? The same people/person telling the Manager not to play him?. This situation is beyond a joke!!
Surely Lawrence, and the team around him, must know it is far better to pay Shaun and another quality player the going rate rather then keep getting in 4/5 bang average players!! Very frustrated with all this!!

Very frustrated with all this!! The trouble is, our owners are businessmen first and football people second, hence the reason that they are putting more money into off the field stuff like food and drink bars around the ground and other marketing related stuff, than they are the actual sQuad, the on the pitch side of it. All that is fair enough as the Club needs sustainability and food/drink sells, the Club needs building up, l get that, but unless you invest enough in the playing side of things and results drop off, you then get less people coming thru the turnstiles and you need good gates, you need those people buying the food, buying the drink, buying the Club merchandise, it works both ways, althou at the mo we are still getting decent gates. As it is with us at the moment, injuries have definately hit us hard recently, but we are still up there challenging. The Jeffers thing certainly is strange and thay mystery will rumble on until such time as Jeffers contract is up or he is sold, but all of us Saints fans deserve to know what's going on there, we deserve clarity on that |

We need to play a darn sight better against Aveley than our 2nd half showing against Slough, Aveley look a decent side this season.
