After getting a point from our trip to the frozen north last weekend, it’s back to Roots Hall to face Wealdstone on the day we should have been travelling to Eastleigh - that game having to be switched to a Tuesday night in January due to their cup run.
The Stones, managed by Stuart Maynard who spent the majority of his playing career knocking around the lower league teams across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, are one of the few part-time teams in the National League and so are always punching above their weight a bit among the full time professional outfits.
They had a bit of a history of producing decent pros with Stuart Pearce, Vinnie Jones and Jermaine Beckford all starting their playing careers there.
This season they’ve been decent at home and dreadful on the road with just two draws and eight defeats from their 10 away league games so far - the worst away record in the National League.
One former blues player is turning out for them, let’s hope that Nathan Ferguson doesn’t choose Saturday’s game to replicate the goal he scored for us at Forest Green Rovers!
Obviously our home form is pretty good with 8 wins and 2 defeats from the 10 league games to date, however with injuries mounting, and no official news of the promised takeover being completed before the game and so lifting of the embargo it seems we’ll have to limp on again this week. At the time of writing this there is no news on the likely return of messrs. Coker, Fonguck, Miley, Andeng-Ndi and Demetriou so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the weekend brings.
I have left a few lines in the poll to allow for insertion of new signings, but this is more in hope than expectation!
So who would you choose to start this rearranged fixture and what do you predict the result will be?
