PITCHING IN ISTHMIAN LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION MIDWEEK PREVIEW




Monday 22nd November
CARSHALTON ATHLETIC v HORSHAM 
The Robins were drawing 1-1 at Hornchurch on Saturday when the lights went out on 38 minutes resulting in the game being abandoned. The Hornets have won three games in three since their FA Cup First Round defeat at Carlisle United - they have beaten Pagham (4-0) in the Sussex Senior Cup followed by a 0-6 victory at Brightlingsea Regent and 1-3 at Leatherhead on Saturday. Former Brighton & HA and Crawley Town striker Shamir Fenelon has been in good from for Horsham scoring four goals in their last three matches. If the Carshalton Athletic who beat Folkestone Invicta 5-0 at home a few weeks ago turn up then you can see only one result being a home win. However, if the team who lost at Welwyn GC in the FA Trophy turn up then Horsham could get a point here? 

COULD HORSHAM PICK UP A POINT OR MORE TONIGHT AT CARSHALTON ATHLETIC?

Tuesday 23rd November 
ENFIELD TOWN v HORNCHURCH 
A very good 3-1 win over Mertsham on Saturday for The Towners with Muhammadu Faal scoring two more goals - He has scored 14 league goals so far this season. A home win would put Andy Leese's side just two points behind league leaders Worthing. Former Towner's Joe Wright, Mickey Parcell and Billy Bricknell are likely to feature for The Urchins so will be wanting to put one over on their former side. Likely to be a very competitive game at Donkey Lane - Expect a few yellow cards issued I think! 

COULD THE EX-TOWNERS PUT ONE OVER TOWN ON TUESDAY EVENING?

LEWES v CORINTHIAN-CASUALS 
A tremendous 3-0 win over Folkestone Invicta for Lewes on Saturday albeit two late goals put some gloss on the score-line with Joe Taylor scoring his 14th league goal of the season. Casuals are a tough team to beat with just three defeats in their last ten league games but could only draw 1-1 at under new management East Thurrock United on Saturday. Looking at the table - 3rd v 13th should mean a home win but with The Casuals you just never know? 
POTTERS BAR TOWN v BOWERS & PITSEA 
The Scholars were 0-1 up at Brightlingsea Regent on Saturday before another floodlight failure saw the game abandoned. In their last ten league games they have only lost to Cheshunt and Worthing so are very tough to beat. Bowers only have one win on their league travels being the incredible 2-3 win over Brightlingsea Regent in which they were 2-0 down on 88 minutes. All points towards a home win. 
WINGATE & FINCHLEY v CHESHUNT 
The Ambers recorded one of the results of the season so far by winning 1-2 at Worthing on Saturday with debutant Rowan Liburd netting both goals - He has played in the football league for Reading, Wycombe Wanderers and Stevenage as well as being a full International for St Kitts & Nevis. Craig Edward's side are unbeaten in seven league games and have only conceded 3 goals in those games. The Blues have lost their last four league games so the form says away win. 

Wednesday 24th November
CRAY WANDERERS v FOLKESTONE INVICTA 
8 defeats and 24 goals conceded in 10 games for Cray Wanderers they lost 2-1 at Kingstonian on Saturday who haven't been in great form themselves. Just two wins in their last six games has seen Invicta drop down to 8 points behind league leader's Worthing. They should have enough to get the three points here but The Wands need points to climb away from the relegation spots? 

THE WANDS NEED TO PICK UP POINTS TO PULL AWAY FROM THE DROP ZONE
