After the league game ended in a convincing 4-2 defeat on the 7th November Town get to erase this memory by visiting Wingate & Finchley tomorrow night in the Championship Manager Cup Round 3. The game will be used by Steve and Del to give some of the squad players a run-out and it'll be their chance to play well, stand out and stake a claim to a place in the starting line up for Town's next important League game in the local derby at Potters Bar Town on Saturday. Round 3 of the league cup is uncharted territory for the Town so it'll be nice to get back to winning ways after Saturday and set up a possible glory tie at a Premier Division side in Round 4.
HARLOW TOWN MANAGER ANTHONY ANSTEAD RESIGNS
There are three Ryman North League games this week with 'relegation doomed' Harlow Town taking on Northwood at Barrows Farm and two teams Town have recently played in Heybridge Swifts entertaining VCD Athletic at Scraley Road on Tuesday night. Ilford welcome Brentwood Town to Cricklefield on Wednesday night.
The Vickers, The Foxes and The Wood are all in the chasing pack below the play-off places so will want get a win to move closer to the top of the division. Wood who lost at Thamesmead Town on Saturday should win easily at Harlow Town who baring a miracle look like they will be playing in the Essex Senior League next season. The club have much publicised financial problems and the Hawks are today looking for a new manager following Anthony Anstead leaving the club. Anstead must be praised for doing his very best in a difficult situtation. What sort of team will turn up to play Town at Goldsdown Road on the 29th December??????
Heybridge Swifts and VCD Athletic I would of put down as a home win but with VCD's battling qualities shown at Goldsdown Road on Saturday they will prove tough to breakdown for Wayne Bond's Essex side and this may end up as a score-draw.
Wednesday night's game is an interesting one. Ilford have fallen down the league following their tremendous start to the season and Brentwood seem to be mirroring them by climbing up the league following their poor start. The Foxes were soundly beaten 4-0 at Maldon Town on Saturday and in the previous game only beat a troubled Leyton side 1-0 away from home, they have won three in last ten league games. Brentwood Town have improved immensely following the pre-season turmoil with Les Whitton's team unbeaten in 7 games (4 wins and 3 draws).
http://www.bwin.com/ offer odds of 2/1 for Brentwood Town to win with a home win being 19/20 and the draw at 5/2. Remember you can only bet in trebles at this level but 2/1 looks good value if you add in Northwood at 9/10 to win at Harlow and one other you may be onto a winning bet!
December begins tomorrow with Christmas approaching fast and Enfield Town are fifth in the league fighting for one of the four play-off places up for grabs come the end of the season. Rewind 12 months ago and Stewart Margolis's Town were nowhere near the play-offs having a Topsy turvy disappointing season. The cold end can only thank Steve and Del, Jason Dale, Darren Bonfield and Lisa Corallini along with all the players for having such a good season so far in what looks to be a highly competitive league. Their are 18 points up for grabs in this festive month with three home and three away games.
UP THE TOWN!!!
