U's:1 Cards:0

I wasn't at Saturday's game, and by the sounds of things it was a good one to miss. Still the most important thing is that we got the points, won when playing badly, and other such clichés.


And of course we're now three points nearer play offs. Or, if you're Jimmy Quinn, three points nearer the title: "It's down to 10 points now with Aldershot - and, if they lose a couple, it could be down to three. They're not over the line yet," said our leader after Saturday's match, showing a Richard Summerfield-esque grasp of numbers. Keep clutching at those straws though Jimmy.


The big downer on things is obviously the injury to Evil. Although we don't know the full extent yet, it seems likely to curtail the big man's season. While his absence will be a blow, it could well be the making of Mark Beesley. With Magno-inho not eligible for Tuesday's game against his former employers Crawley, it seems likely the ex-Forest Green man will start up front with Boylan. Games seem to have passed Beesley by to a certain extent when playing in the hole, and I believe being right up front alongside a clever player such as LB will see him flourish.


Of course we will have to make sure we don't feed our new-look, diminuative, strike force on a diet of long balls, and will need a creative midfielder to link play and get the ball into their feet. So step forward Mark Convery - if you want regular games this is probably the best chance you'll get to prove you're worthy of a place in the side.
