MANAGEMENT NOTES All the latest news at www.stneotstownfc.co.uk
A Terrific Spirit Gary King Good Evening everybody and welcome to our opponents today Bedford Town FC.
We have to be ready for the fact that Bedford are going to come to St Neots and raise their game and some people will be looking at this match as a six pointer so early in the season. For me, it is about us, how we prepare and play, we have to make sure we work hard and do the right things, play the way we want to play and take our chances. I personally don’t believe that winning this game will guarantee our safety or that losing it would seal our fate there are simply too many games left for that to be the case. It is up to us to go out there and make sure we are the ones smiling come 10 o’clock tonight.
with twenty minutes left their keeper made a great save from Matty Nolan – if that goes in we are taking all three points against a top side. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done in all areas of our game and we are working really hard as a unit to turn this around. Two great additions in Nathan Abbey and Michael Frew to our playing squad this week means that we now have the luxury of a strong bench. All successful sides have strong benches and it is of great comfort to the management team to be able to turn to the bench in order that, when called upon, whoever it is can make an impact and can change the
direction of a game. I felt St Albans were beat at 2-1 until their double substitution was made with twenty minutes left. Unfortunately, Ed picked up a knee injury on Saturday (ligaments) so we expect him to be out until maybe the Christmas period and we will lose Jay Davies for three games following his red card against St Albans. As ever, we will be giving it our all this evening so get behind the lads and enjoy the game.

I must say that there is a terrific spirit around the place at the moment, both on and off the pitch, and a great feeling of togetherness within the playing squad and management squad, with everyone pulling in the same direction. This was never more evident than on Saturday when we entertained St Albans, a side who are currently unbeaten in the league since September, who for me where one of the better sides I have seen this season. It was disappointing to come away from a game we had put so much into with no points but by and large the players did their jobs and I felt we thoroughly deserved a minimum of one point, at 2-1 up and

Both sides come into tonight’s game needing to put points on the table. My feeling is that our current league position based on the squad we currently have and our last four or five performances is a false one. That said, the league table does not lie and I see tonight’s game as an ideal opportunity to close the gap between Bedford and ourselves to one point.
