Braintree

Kealy and Big Mike back for Braintree, two big players who have done well so far. Kealy has been the player we've missed over the last 3 4 games or so

Really hope so but important not to put too much pressure on players coming back from injury - especially at a new club.

Considering recent performances the crowds have been good at priory lane but surely they are going to start dropping if we carry on getting poor results! Let’s hope for another big crowd today and a good result!

The attendances have been good enough this season to show that if the football and results improve we will have a fantastic club with big crowds.

Weather looks nice for today

I forgot how enjoyable it is to win, particularly with a 2 goal cushion. Credit to the boys today. Injury issues continue to impact the lineup, some new players added, it was never going to be easy. Although we scored really early the next 25 mins or so were tough and we couldn’t get the ball. I felt we were lacking a proper defensive midfielder at that point. It was a freak goal to concede but 1 - 1 fair at that point. Loved the 10 or so mins up to half time and brilliant to get a second just before half-time - so often when we concede. 2nd half a bit more scrappy but some heroes emerging including cult hero Big Michael. I was expecting us to retreat and be hanging on but we offered a bit more than that. 3 - 1 felt good and this time we held on. Them hitting the post and Holman missing the easiest chance ever (at least he had already got one and this didn’t cost us). I feared when Clarke and Kealy went off but the subs did well - Yasser and Beckford. Vigar had one of his better games in midfield (also a goal). New boy George held his own. Kealy did ok given he’s come back from injury, at least he looks the right profile of striker - strong and experienced. Much better all round.

Great win, needless to say we need to push on from here and build a gap. Roll on Tuesday.

Great 3 points nice see that at last we can play for 90 minutes

Thought big Mike at the back was fantastic and deserved man of the match, nice to get 3 points and same again Tuesday would a great foundation to build on hopefully that gets the confidence back

A great battling win. The lads deserved a result with all the physicality from Braintree. Anther good win on Tuesday, Up the Boro! On a different note, why was the tea bar by the main stand closed?
