TOM BRADBROOK Battled and bruised, Tom gives his views ! Hi everyone and welcome to today’s game against Leatherhead.

It’s been a mixed couple of weeks for the club as we have only got 1 point from the last two games. We went into the game at home to Whitehawk in a great position being third and a win would be great for us. However, we only managed to salvage a point in the end which I did think was a fair result. Whitehawk are the new team in the league with a big budget and I am sure they will finish in a healthy position at the end. I believe that we did play well in patches and not for the first time this season we showed fantastic spirit to come from behind twice to salvage a point. I can quite honestly say that my nose is still hurting after the keep - er punched me full on ! The things you do for the sake of football… it’s a great sport !

We then moved onto last Saturday away at Fleet….. what to say about this one !!!!! ASSULT SPRINGS TO MIND ! All of the boys and the fans must feel gutted about this game. I don’t believe we deserved to lose especially the way we did in the end. I don’t think either team played that well and it was a bit of a scrap. They got a free kick and to be fair great goal. We tried our best to get back into the game but it was not to be. As you probably saw in the first half, I was clearly tripped in the box and that should have been a penalty. Like everyone, I still cannot find a reason why the ref did not send of their keeper. It was a clear goal opportunity in which the keeper fully stopped which must be a red card. It’s a bit embarrassing when their captain and keeper both apologies and state that he should have left the field. I had to leave the pitch as it felt like I had been hit by a bus and could not walk (or see in fact!). Abbo was sent off and the day just could not get any worse !

In the words of the great Ron Atkinson when he was asked how the ref got on in a game he said….. ‘’ Look, you know that after a game I never comment on the referee, and I am not going to break a habit of a lifetime to talk about that stupid @&%£# ’’ priceless !

Anyway, even after losing the results went our way and we currently sit in fifth which is still a great position. We may have played more games but we have the points on the table and that’s the main thing ! The mood in the camp is still pretty good and we just need to get another win under our belt !

Regarding Injuries I think Joe is close to coming back to training, it will be great to see him back. Joe Horlock still has one more games suspension, we are really missing him so it will be a boost when he returns. I am not great at the moment after that tackle at Fleet. As I write I am limping quite bad which is not good. I will have to see how it is today as I do not want to miss it.

Today’s game against Leatherhead is going to be tough indeed as they have started the season well.

Please get behind us as much as you can ( I am sure you will as usual) !

Thanks again for your support,

Bradders
