So it's two wins from two pre-season friendlies so far and Saturday sees our third away game as we journey over the border to Hertfordshire to take on Bishop's Stortford FC at Woodside Park. Steve Castle's side play in the Southern League Premier Central Division and have also played two pre-season games so far, winning 4-1 at Heybridge Swifts and losing 1-0 to our opponents from Tuesday night, Canvey Island.
Tuesday's game saw all our fit players get some minutes, including James Morton who has obviously recovered from his knock, although the continuing absence of Collin, Jack Bridge and Danny Waldron must give some concern that they are now falling behind in their preparations, as is obviously Noor Husin who is a more long term injury victim following his operation.
Tuesday saw youth team keeper Charlie Brown play the full 90 minutes due to the departure of trialist Sam Hornby who is pursuing other options. If Collin remains an injury doubt then one would hope another trialist keeper (or two) will be through the doors for Saturday.
Former Southampton wing back Zuriel Otseh-Taiwo has featured as a trialist in both games so far and it will be interesting to see if he makes a hat-trick of appearances which might indicate him inching closer to signing permanently for us.
It's a 1.00pm kick off on Saturday, so don't be late!
