n the back of getting knocked out of The FA Trophy last weekend to Royston, we need to get back to Odoing the basics better. Full credit to Royston on their victory but we did not help ourselves with the first half performance. That said We did however show good character in the second half and all three substitutes made positive impacts on the game. To get the score back to 2-2 then we commit football suicide late on by basically giving Royston a criminal goal. Going forward We must continue to take Even though we are devastated to go out it one game at a time and to make The of The competition, I know we have to suffer Vale our fortress. We all need each other defeats to become a stronger team, it’s so to really drive our club on because only our important in this business that we now all togetherness and hard work can help us to work that little but harder and not feel sorry bring success to our football club. for ourselves.
