They won 1-0 at home to Harrogate on Saturday.
Have struggled to score this season.
They have as many veterans as us.
It's on ifollow for a tenner tonight.

  With the Gas slowly improving, and provided we stay in the game, then potential 3 points tonight. Especially as the improved fitness level is clearly starting to show. So a late late winner would be great . Talking purely on a football perspective, to be able to celebrate like JB and his staff did on Saturday - Oh how I've missed that buzz!

New ground is out of town if you are going. Parking isn't great. On previous trips I've filled up at the big petrol station the other side of the A12 and left my car there (with permission). Walking across the field to the ground might be a bit of a challenge in the dark though. Not a long trip from Epping, but I will not be attending. If I'm going anywhere - it will be to Buckhurst Hill FC / Brimsdown. BHFC will be playing under floodlights for the first time in their short history. |

Hats off to anyone making such a trip on a Tuesday evening - particularly if they also went to Bradford on Saturday. Total respect to anyone so dedicated.

Do you know if Gary still plays cricket at all? 20 years ago I played with him in a Bristol U17 rep team and I know he played for Old Down and I think for someone higher up the pyramid than that as well. He definitely still playing while he was at Newport - just wondered if he kept it up. |

He is living in the Taunton area now since his move south to Yeovil, Exeter and Torquay after his lengthy spell at ICT. |

One of three Olveston boys to play league football, Simon Panes and Jason Eaton being - the other two Gary would have walked over broken glass to play for us and I still feel its a shame that Lenny and Paul Trollope didnt take a punt and sign Byron and Gary at the same time .Gary would have been relatively cheap |

Tough match...
Especially if they start having a Tiz (?)
Will it be 2 defeats by previous negligence?
I'm plumping for an uneasy draw.
Maybe 0-0.
....but would never be surprised to take all 3 points.
Safe journeys to all travelling, UptheGas!

I make that 8 goalscorers this season, out of the starting 11 ?
An attacking, positive starting line up...

Still a question though with 3 4 3 three at back, needing decent support from wing backs,
And the loan one in midfield help from 2 forwards.

B***** got us playing Garner ball tonight, all on the deck, plenty use of keeper as extra man.
And every time we attack it feels like we will score, so we do have quality players here. Thomas, Nicholson, Evans.
we don’t press opponents enough though in the midfield.

With the Gas slowly improving, and provided we stay in the game, then potential 3 points tonight. Especially as the improved fitness level is clearly starting to show. So a late late winner would be great . Talking purely on a football perspective, to be able to celebrate like JB and his staff did on Saturday - Oh how I've missed that buzz!
