We would like to welcome Curtis and his club to the Neuven. They have picked up some good wins and battled through some difficult times finically with Covid as they would nor- mally have a healthy budget but not this year and they have had injuries to key players so we have to be ready for any of his teams as they will be ready! They will look to attack with pace in the wide areas and we must be wary of that. After Saturday’s game against Warrington, the lads will be full of confidence. The result didn’t match our performance. For the fans who were there not only ours but there’s as well knew that we should have won the game as it was all one-way traffic in the second half. Yet again we have been on the wrong end of a decision that changed the dynamics of the game, the officials have a hard job. That is two decisions that have gone against us in a matter of two weeks. To make matters worse we have sent them into the FA and they have admitted both decisions were wrong. A foul should have been awarded in the Basford game leading to the second goal and the penalty decision on Saturday, but it will all swing round over the course of the season and even itself out. It had been great to be on the training ground this week, it’s been while with games and not being able to use Deans due to Covid. We need to fine tune a few things and continue the style of play. All that’s lacking is the consistency in results and wins. not the performance. We have to be more clinical in front of goal, as the chances per game we’re creating is in a very high volume. We now have to finish of the great play we have shown and the chances into goals and then into 3 points. We beat South Shields, we lost narrowly to Warrington and lost to Buxton who are the favourites to win the league. We aren’t far away they need to gel. Our hardest game was in the FA Cup against Workington where we never got to grip their style of play but we still came out on top! Continue to support the lads and the badge as we will need you, Enjoy today’s game, Fowls 4 STADIUM NEUVEN STADIUM Ground Regulations Persons entering the Neuven Stadium on match days are only admitted subject to the following rules and regulations.
